🏟️ Tournament Arena — Battle Day
The coliseum is blazing with energy. Rumors are flying:
"That's the Dragonblood Team!""Their leader Magnus can melt steel with a roar.""No way Kael's little club of misfits survives."
Kael walks calmly into the arena, followed by Aeris, Zara, and Selene.In the crowd, Mirai watches… silently analyzing Kael's movements.
"Don't hold back," Kael says softly. "Let's give them a show."
🐉 Opponent Team: Empire's Dracarys Division
Magnus Veyron – Dragonblood heir, fire magic and brute strength
Thorne – Pyro-illusionist, uses mirages and flame
Rylia – Twin-blade dancer with heat-slicing wind
Braxis – Tank with lava armor and hammer
They're cocky. Confident. Laughing.
Magnus: "Bow now, Prince of Ash. Maybe we'll let your women go easy."
Zara narrows her eyes. Aeris cracks her knuckles. Selene begins whispering a death curse.
Kael? Just smirks.
🧊 Fight Start: Opening Clash
Thorne strikes first—dozens of flaming illusions surround the team.
Zara steps up. "I got this."
She waves her hand. An arctic pulse freezes the air—shattering every illusion at once.
Kael: "She's been training."Zara (blushing): "For you…"
Suddenly, Braxis charges Zara with a flaming hammer—but Aeris intercepts him, bare fists glowing gold.
Aeris: "You want fire? Try mine."
🔥 BOOM! Their collision creates a shockwave across the arena.
🌒 Selene's Moment
Rylia, the twin-blade dancer, moves in blinding heat waves.But Selene is already ten steps ahead, manipulating shadows.
"You dance with wind? I dance with death."
She slashes one of Rylia's shadows—causing the real one to scream and fall.
One down.
🔥 Kael vs Magnus: The Main Event
Magnus unleashes full dragon form—horns, wings, molten claws.
"You're nothing but a name, Kael.""I am a prince," Kael says quietly. "I just haven't shown you what that means."
Magnus charges with explosive speed—
Kael dodges every strike. Calm. Focused. Studying.
Then… he moves.
In one fluid strike, Kael channels divine pressure through Dawnbreaker.
BOOM.
Magnus is flung across the arena, gasping.
Kael leans down and whispers:
"Next time… try fighting like a man, not a beast."
🏆 Team Kael Wins — Again
The crowd goes insane. Even nobles who hated him before are now clapping.
But up in the royal box, an old general narrows his eyes.
"That sword… That pressure… That is no ordinary boy."
💔 Aftermath
Back in the dorms, Zara holds Kael's injured hand and quietly tends to it.
Selene sits nearby, unusually quiet.
Aeris leans against the wall, arms crossed. "I hate to say it, but that was hot."
Kael looks at them… and finally allows a small smile.
"Thanks for fighting beside me."
🌌 End Scene: Mirai's Revelation
Mirai, watching from a quiet library, pulls out a sealed scroll.
Inside: Kael's true identity.
"They'll come for you soon, Fallen God. But I… I might join you instead."
She places her hand on the scroll, and the lights around her flicker.
