28
Fakir finds a book left by Aotoa and tracks him down to learn he is a direct descendant of Drosselmeyer. Aotoa tests Fakir’s true power through a grueling three-day training regimen. The final challenge requires Fakir to listen to the voice of an oak tree fragment; failure results in him becoming one with the earth. As Fakir nears failure and begins to transform into a tree, Duck intervenes by transforming into Princess Tutu to save him from this fate.
