Legacy of Hero: Rise of Kairon

📍 Rest Room – Arena Underground

CRACK!

The wall cracked under the force of Kane Jayson's punch.

— "How did I lose...?!" — he muttered, fists clenched, eyes burning with rage. — "That damn nerd... Ryan Valeborn. Never again. NEVER AGAIN will I lose to anyone... I'LL BECOME THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL!" — he roared, panting.— "And they'll all see me as number one..."

He kicked a chair, took a deep breath, and left in silence—heading for the stands.He needed to watch. He needed to understand...What makes the others so special?

🌩️ Draft Final — Arena

The referee raised his hand.

— "Begin!"

Dante Valtier lunged forward with monstrous precision. His katana sliced the air as if tearing through reality itself.

CLANG!

Ethan blocked at the last second with his twin daggers, sliding backward from the impact.

— "Tch... he's insanely powerful."

Dante was a flaming storm.Each strike felt like that of a seasoned general.Ethan was at a disadvantage—at first.

Up in the VIP box, Diana Flamesoul observed with narrowed eyes.

— "This boy... he's not listening to me."

Inavy, beside her, added:

— "So he's..."

— "Yes. He's leaving openings."

But Ethan, the Instinctive, saw one.

With a roar, he channeled energy into his legs and delivered a devastating lightning-infused kick straight to Dante's face, launching him several meters away.

The crowd erupted.

Dante stood, wiped blood from his lip... and smiled.

— "Hah... interesting..."

⚔️ Clash of Titans

Now the fight was balanced.

Daggers and katana collided. Sparks, thunder, flames — every movement shook the arena. It looked ready to collapse.

— "They're on another level," — said Lorien, smiling like a proud master.

— "Feels like Rank S," — muttered Darius.

Ethan hurled Arashi, his left dagger, like a bolt of lightning.Dante dodged with elegance, but—

ZUUUUP!Ethan teleported using the aura of the thrown dagger, appearing right behind him.

BOOM!

A crushing blow slammed Dante to the ground. But Dante stood again, now dead serious—his eyes glowing flame-orange.

— "Enough."

🔥 A wave of heat surged through the arena.The floor melted.The sky seemed to boil.

Dante gripped his katana with both hands, concentrating all his flaming aura into one colossal form.

🔥 Ultimate Technique – Incinerating Solar Blade

A flaming sword the size of a celestial dragon.A cut meant to burn sky, earth, shadows—and any shred of hope.

Lorien summoned a barrier of light to protect the audience—but the energy was so intense, the barrier cracked.

— "Diana! You taught him this?!" — Inavy shouted.

— "Only for rare occasions... like the one I faced 17 years ago," — she replied, smiling tensely.

The arena was split in two.

🌩️ But the Storm Still Lives

When the dust settled, the entire stadium held its breath...

One figure crawled out of the crater — clothes torn, eyes glowing crimson.

— "Heh... dangerous move," — Ethan chuckled, blood dripping from his mouth. — "Even made the sky go dark..."

Crimson-black lightning fell from the heavens.

— "What...?!" — Dante's eyes widened. — "He's manipulating atmospheric lightning with his aura?!"

— "Impossible!" — Diana gasped. — "Ethan... manipulating Natural Primordial Aura?!"

— "Looks like it," — murmured Inavy. — "And what's coming... is monumental."

— "You taught him that?" — Diana turned to him.

— "Not even me… he was born with a fragment of Natural Primordial Aura..."

In the stands, Ryan watched, stunned:

— "Incredible..."

Ryu screamed:

— "Ethan! You were holding back against me?! You owe me answers!"

🐉 CELESTIAL DRAKE: THUNDERING ASCENT

A colossal dragon of lightning and chaos spiraled down from the storming skies.Its roar shattered glass and dispersed clouds.

Ethan Stormbreak, hands in an invocation stance, entered a trance.

The dragon dived — spiraling, eyes burning like corrupted suns.

Dante tried to react...Too late.

BOOOOOOOOM!!!

The arena exploded in light, sound, and primal force.

🏆 Victory and Recognition

Silence.

Through smoke and rubble, a single figure stood up.

Ethan Stormbreak.

The winner.

From the crowd, Rose Eldara screamed:

— "THAT'S MY SON, DAMN IT!!!"

Inavy leapt from the stands, hugging his son and raising his arm at the arena's center.

— "THE NEW STORMBREAK HAS RISEN!"

All the guild leaders stood and applauded.

💬 After the Battle

Dante slowly rose, filthy and battered… but serene.

— "For the first time… someone beat me."

Ethan smiled.

— "There's always a first time for everything."

🥇 Medal Ceremony

The announcer called out:

— "THE TOP THREE OF THE DRAFT!"

Inavy Stormbreak personally handed out the medals, prouder than ever.

As he placed silver around Ryan's neck, he whispered:

— "You're not number one… but you're the first in history to turn 'zero' into hope."

Ryan, overcome with emotion, smiled.
