Location: Royal Academy – Grand Tournament Arena
The sky thundered as banners from twelve different academies fluttered in the wind.Thousands of spectators filled the stands. Royalty. Nobles. Mercenaries. Even foreign dignitaries had come.
This wasn't just a school tournament—it was a battlefield of nations.
"Welcome," the Headmaster's voice echoed, "to the Grand Convergence Tournament!"
In the royal booth, the king of Veyr sat expressionless.
"Let the games begin."
Team Kael – Arrival
Kael's team entered the arena through the obsidian gate.
Kael at the front—calm, sharp-eyed, with the War Goddess's ring gleaming on his finger.
Behind him:
Zara, in crimson armor, her spear radiating heat.
Mira, cloaked in shadows.
Rayna, lightning crackling with every step.
Selene, her bow of moonlight drawn.
Evelyne, eyes glowing with timelines unread.
Velcia, silent, deadly, with oblivion fire burning behind her.
The crowd hushed.
A few nobles gasped.
"Isn't that… the prince with no magic?"
"Why is he leading such terrifying girls?"
"Who allowed him back in the tournament?!"
Kael smiled.
"Let them talk."
A Secret Order
Meanwhile, in the council chambers of foreign academies…
A royal general slammed his fist onto the table. "Target the First Prince of Veyr. At all costs."
"But he has no magic."
"Exactly. His death will demoralize their team. And that harem of monsters will collapse without him."
Every kingdom received the same hidden order:
"Kill Kael Elarion Veyr. Eliminate the god before he remembers who he is."
First Round: Team Kael vs. Bloodthorn Academy
The battle arena shifted into a volcanic wasteland. Lava pits. Jagged rocks. Zero visibility.
A brutal map.
Perfect for murder.
Zara: "This is an ambush map. They want us separated."
Kael: "Let them try."
Within minutes, the trap was sprung—explosives, elemental chains, snipers in the shadows.
A group of assassins lunged at Kael—
Only to be annihilated mid-air by Velcia's Oblivion Flame.
Rayna and Mira took the high ground, clearing the rest with coordinated attacks.
"You okay?" Selene asked Kael.
He didn't answer.
His eyes were locked on a blood seal drawn beneath his feet.
Boom!
The trap went off—Kael vanished in a burst of red light.
Elsewhere – Shadow Realm Prison
Kael opened his eyes.
He was in a void. A separate dimension—sealed, ancient.
"Tch… spatial exile?" he muttered.
A figure appeared from the darkness. A girl with silver hair and one black wing.
"You're not supposed to exist," she whispered."Yet here you are… Chaos."
Back in the Arena
Zara screamed. "They took him!"
Velcia's flames surged uncontrollably. "Bring him back!"
Evelyne stepped forward, her book of time glowing.
"I can find him—but we'll need to win this round first."
Selene: "Then we burn everything in our way."
Kael vs. the Winged Girl
She was strange. Beautiful. Sad.
"I'm called Ishira, the World Binder," she said. "I was created to kill you in every timeline."
"And I've failed… every time."
Kael took a breath. "Then stop trying."
She hesitated.
"What if… I want to lose this time?"
Before Kael could answer, his ring glowed, reacting violently.
The War Goddess's voice echoed:
"Another of the Seven. Found."
Kael gritted his teeth.
"You're not my enemy, Ishira. You're my key."
