Yoh: A trial?
Silva: Yes. Our patch tribe holds the fight since the ancient time. I have a duty to test your qualification.
Yoh: His spirits go into the rings.
Silva: Simple rule…

Silva: If you can hit me once, you will pass. Asakura Yoh, if you pass, you will become one of the contestants.

< Title Chapter 28: Silva Style >

Yoh: I will qualify?
Silva: Correct.
Amidamaru: Lord Yoh, who is this guy?
Yoh: I don't know. Patch tribe? Holder? I've never heard of that. What do you want?
Silva: We Patch live with the Great Spirit.

Silva: The Great Spirit knows all, even your desire to join Shaman Fight.
Yoh: Great Spirit?
Silva: That does not concern you now. The only thing you have to concern is you have to pass this trial to qualify.
Yoh: Oops.
Silva: Come. If you win, I will give you the symbol of contestants, the will of the Great Spirit.

Yoh: Symbol?
Silva: Do you want to take the trial or not? I still have to give trial to many. You only have one chance, and time limit is 10 minutes. If you don't fight, then you will have to wait for another 500 years.
Yoh: Is that so? If you insist, this must be true. I have to hit you only once? Good. Then let me take this trial.

Amidamaru: But Lord Yoh, we don't know his power.
Yoh: It's Ok. We have to try. This is the time to show our power. Your name is Silva, right? This is a real sword, so you might get hurt.
Silva: Don't worry. You can't touch me.
Yoh: Ho. Such a confident from a referee. But save those word…

Yoh: …after you see Amidamaru's power!
Silva: Buddha's vacuum wave? Your combination is not bad, but…

< Silva is protected by invisible barrier >
Silva: …you can't win by that.
Amidamaru: No effect? So now I have to get serious.

< Silva guards Yoh directly >
Silva: Combination can't win, don't you hear?
Amidamaru: This. Harusame is blocked by invisible wall.
Yoh: No, look again, Amidamaru. It's not invisible wall.

Yoh: That turtle becomes his shield.
Silva: Yes. He is a turtle spirit named Silver Shield. A holy spirit who protects me.
Yoh: Holy spirit?
Silva: Yes.

Silva: Holy spirit is not a human spirit. Anyway, his name is Silver Horn, a holy spirit of bison.
Yoh: What's that thing on his leg?
Silva: Holy spirit, unlike human spirit, can change its form. So it can shows its ability in full … like this!
< Silva kicks Yoh >

Yoh: Bison at his leg?
Amidamaru: Lord Yoh, we are…
Yoh: What is it, Amidamaru?
Amidamaru: gonna fall.
Yoh: What?
Silva: Sorry I use too much power. I will help you with their powers.

Silva: Run, Coyote Silver Tail.
Yoh: Ah, ah, ah!
Silva: Help him, holy spirit Silver Rod!

< Silva pulls Yoh up >
Amidamaru: Are you all right, Lord Yoh?
Yoh: Arh… What is this!? Why can't my spirit defend, run, or touch anything?

Silva: Because my shaman power 'materializes' these holy spirits.
Amidamaru: He disappears
Yoh: Where are you, Silva? You fall?
Silva: To gain this power is an indicator of of ability < Silva has wing > "Shaman Power"

Yoh: You are… flying.
Silva: No, I am not. I use my shaman power to unleash these rings' power. Like this. Now I borrow Silver Wing's power.

Yoh: Those five spirits come out to protect Silva.
Silver Wing: You are already surprised by this, Kid? Lemme tell you something: I won't let you touch Silva. Your combination is useless against us. Just quit, and get lost!
Amidamaru: That bird can talk
Yoh: Combination is useless.
Silva: Sigh… This is just like fighting with a samurai. What I want to test is your power as a shaman, not his.

Yoh: This means…
Silva: The power from your combination will not help you beat me. You have to use your own shaman power.
Yoh: My own shaman power?
Silva: There is still time. Use your wisdom, kid. You still have a power that waits to be awaken within. The unknown path.
