When Mr Perfect was younger, he had a problem controlling his immense magical energy, this resulted in him acting irrational and violent at times. But his parents hired a Mage (Stylish Jack) to help him learn to manage his powers better, and live a healthier life. But he has just kicked that Mage in the nuts.
Michael Rook: Round one, Is my win! (Michael says with a devious smile, but makes sure to keep his distance)
Stylish Jack: Damn Brat! (Jack says in pain as he held onto his crotch)
Michael Rook: Come on be a man. Oh I forgot, It's because you're a man that you're down there. (Michael says with a maniacal laugh)
Stylish Jack: (Stands Up) I'm ready for the next match! (Jack says as he holds back the pain)
Michael Took: You sure you don't need time to rest old man?
Stylish Jack: (Enraged) Faster Than The Speed Of Style, Dash Strike! (Jack yells as he dashes towards Michael so fast that he seems to disappear)
Even though Jack can move faster than the human eyes can see, Michael is still able to block his Dash Strike.
Michael Rook: You're fast. But did you really think you could take me down with your bare hands? (Michael tells him fiendishly, for Jack had dropped his sword when he was kicked, and forgot to grab it when he attacked in anger)
Stylish Jack: (Thinks to himself) Impossible, did he really plan all this?....He first beat me with a dirty trick, and insulted me so that I would act recklessly in the second match...Can a nine year old really be this calculating? (Jack wonders nervously)
Michael Rook: Slash! (Michael yells as he attacks Jack with an energy slash that travelled through the air)
Jack barely manages to evade Michael's Slash, and retreats to retrieve his sword.
Michael Rook: Awww. (Michael says in disappointment as his wooden sword burns and is reduced to ash)
Stylish Jack: Ready to continue? (Jack asks determinately)
Michael Rook: No, that's it for me. I'm out of energy anyway. (Michael tells Jack as he dusts away the ash on his hands)
Stylish Jack: Really, That's it?!...Wait I thought you become nice after your magic wears out? (Jack asks in confusion)
Michael Rook: Sorry for hurting you earlier, I hope you can forgive me. (Michael says with a bow)
Stylish Jack: I doubt I can forgive anyone for kicking me in the nuts.
Michael Rook: But I'm only like that when I'm overcharged with magical energy. The strong and powerful can act as deviously as they want. But the weak and defenceless like myself, must learn to humble themselves. (Michael explains calmly)
Stylish Jack: Weak and Defenceless?, Why would you think that you are weak and defenceless?
Michael Rook: Because I am right now, If we
fought at this very moment, I will most definitely lose, but in my other state of mind, I might best you.
Stylish Jack: How does it feel, when you switch between both states?
Michael Rook: How can I put it?...It feels like I'm drunk on my own power, like I'm stronger and faster than every other person, like I can literally do anything. But then, the feeling eventually leaves me, and I then feel incomplete. (Michael explains)
Stylish Jack: (Thinks to himself) Woah, seems like the kid likes that other side of himself, the difference between them is obvious... When he's overcharged with magic, he's confident, capable, and downright terrifying. But his normal state of mind is calm, lacks a bit of self self esteem, and is too scared to take risks. Why wouldn't he like the confident side of himself? (Jack flings his sword)...Okay kid! From today forth you shall accompany me on my missions, you're going to learn to be more confident in your regular abilities, you don't need to use dirty tactics or cheap tricks to win, because you're Perfect just the way you are. (Jack tells Michael with a kind smile)
Michael Rook: Perfect, me? (Michael asks)
Stylish Jack: Sure, I like you better this way, you're not rude, cunning, or terrifying.... Once you learn to hone your skills, you could become one of the strongest Mages in the world.
Michael Rook: In the world?.... Don't you think that's a stretch?
Stylish Jack: I'm a Gold Ranked Mage kid, and you had me on my toes, you're nine! How much stronger do you think you'll get when you get older?
Michael Rook: You may be right, but I can't still control my abilities yet, at any moment I could do something rash without caring about the consequences.
Stylish Jack: That could be a problem, but it's mine to worry about....You don't need to be overpowered to win a fight, you just have to be better than your opponent.... What do you say kid?, Want to be better? (Jack asks as he stretches out his hand)
Michael Rook: I'll try my very best. (Michael tells him, and they both shake hands)
Jack registers Michael in the Adventurer's Guild and then they both went on missions together. Michael has learned to develop his skills and can now fight like a professional Mage, despite still being a kid.
But as Michael's skill continued to develop, his devious side became more unstable. So Jack goes to see a friend, to finally remedy that situation.
Stylish Jack and Michael Rook enter a magic item store.
Willy Weld: Hey Stylish! How've you been? (The store owner asks)
Stylish Jack: Successful and Good looking as always. (Jack says with a confident smile)
Willy Weld: (Chuckles) You never change.... So, what can I do you for? (Willy asks with a smile)
Stylish Jack: I'm looking for something that uses up a ton of magical energy. (Jack tells him)
Willy Weld: Oh you have come to the right place then, I recently acquired this....The Hammer of Ragnarok, said to be able to cause earthquakes with every strike. (Willy says as he shows them a massive hammer, which was so heavy that it took him some effort just to put it in the table)
Stylish Jack: It's a bit big, even for me.
Willy Weld: It's not for you?. Who's it for then?
Michael Rook: I (Michael answers calmly)
Willy Weld: Is he your kid or something? (Willy asks with a surprised expression)
Stylish Jack: No! I was hired to help him with something, he needs an item that will continuously reduce his magical energy. Do you have something like that?, Something manageable like a ring or a necklace.
Willy Weld: Hmm. I think I've got something that might interest you.
Willy walks over to a shelf and grabs a wooden box from the top. He blows away the dust from the box and then sets it on the table.
Willy Weld: Behold. Future Glasses. (Willy says dramatically as he reveals a pair of glasses in the box)
Stylish Jack: These are manageable, but why are they called Future Glasses?
Willy Weld: They are said to be able to let one see into the future. (Willy still remains dramatic in his presentation)
Michael Rook: The Future, Really?! (Michael asks in amazement)
Willy Weld: Heck no! This was one of the items that a Con man used to sell in this area some time back, all they really do is drain your magical energy like leeches. I'm glad I never got rid of them now though, I thought no one was going to buy this junk.
Stylish Jack: So... How much? (Jack asks)
Willy Weld: A Hundred Gold Coins! (Willy demands)
Stylish Jack: A Hundred Gold Coins?! Do I look like a Noble to you?! (Jack yells in outrage)
Willy Weld: No, but that kid looks like a Noble, look at how he's dressed.
Stylish Jack: Is he the one paying you?! Because I'm not paying that amount!
Willy Weld: It's a fair price.
Stylish Jack: Fair Price?! You said they were junk!
Willy Weld: If you don't want them that's fine, someone else will buy them. (Willy says as he closes the box)
Stylish Jack: Good luck with that! No one will ever buy a pair of stupid glasses that continuously drains your magical energy! (Jack yells in anger)
Willy Weld: Okay, okay. Bring eighty instead.
Stylish Jack: That's still to high you swindler!
Michael Rook: Deal!... Here's your money. (Michael says as he hands over a pouch filled with gold coins)
Stylish Jack: OI! Where did you get so much money from?! (Jack asks in surprise)
Michael Rook: I told my parents where we were going and they gave me some money in case you were being cheap. (Michael tells Jack after taking the box)
Stylish Jack: Cheap?! Wait a minute. That sass, you're!....
Michael shows Jack a devious smile
Willy Weld: Hey there's more money here than we agreed on. (Willy says after he counts the coins)
Michael Rook: I know....It's compensation for this! (Michael says as he grabs the Ragnarok hammer and lifts it into the air)
Stylish Jack: Noooooooooooo! (Jack says in slow motion as Michael slams the hammer onto the ground, and causes a miniature earthquake)
The earthquake shakes the store violently, and after a few harrowing seconds, it all stops.
Stylish Jack: (Slaps Michael's head) What's your problem kid! You trying to kill us all?! (Jack asks in anger)
Michael Rook: I just wanted to try it out, I think it suits me. (Michael says as he easily places the heavy hammer over his shoulder)
Willy Weld: My store! Why did you do that?!... How did you do that? (Willy asks in confusion)
Michael Rook: It's easy for me, because I'm perfe..... (Michael tries to say perfect, but falls from the sheer weight of the hammer, because his magical energy had been reduced back to normal)
Willy Weld: You okay? (Willy asks the fallen Michael)
Michael Rook: I'm fine. Sorry for what I did to your store, the extra money I gave you is more than enough to repair all the damages. (Michael pleads with a bow)
Willy Weld: You Nobles nowadays (Chuckles).... At least you apologized and gave me a ton of money, you're welcome at my store anytime. (Willy says with a smile)
Michael Rook: Thank you for your kindness. (Michael says happily)
Stylish Jack: You're so greedy Willy, you forgave him for wrecking your store just because he paid you. (Jack says in disappointment)
Willy Weld: Get outta here you cheapskate!, I wouldn't expect you to understand how the world works. (Willy says in anger)
Stylish Jack: What did you just call me you cheat?! (Jack asks in anger)
Willy Weld: I called you a cheapskate, cheapskate!
Stylish Jack: I will wreck this store and not pay for it!
Willy Weld: Go ahead! I'll just call the Knights to arrest you. (Willy threatens)
After both men argue for a while, Jack and Michael finally leave the store.
Michael Rook: You and Willy seem like good friends.
Stylish Jack: He's annoying as hell, but he's the only friend I've got.
Michael Rook: I don't have any friends anymore. There were all too scared of me.
Stylish Jack: That's going to change kid, with those glasses you can finally live a normal life.
Michael Rook: .....What if I don't want a normal life?, What if I want a life filled with adventure, and action!....Wouldn't it be better to stay as I am?
Stylish Jack: Your parents worry for you Michael....Their worried you might do something to land yourself in trouble, which could happen.
Michael Rook: I know... So does that mean I should hide who I really am, just to please my family?
Stylish Jack: There's nothing wrong with who you are now, I've seen you do some incredible things that most people aren't even capable of.... Tell you what, when you can use the full extent of your magic without losing yourself, you can destroy those glasses.... Until then, grow stronger, faster, and better yourself. Be the best you can be, and even your parents will be proud.
Michael Rook: Thank you very much.
Stylish Jack: You're very welcome kid. (Jack answers with a smile)
Michael Rook: I think I know what I'm going to be when I'm older.
Stylish Jack: What?
Michael Rook: I'm going to be the best Adventurer in the world, I'll go even higher than Platinum Rank.
Stylish Jack: Platinum Rank is the highest there is, you can't go higher.
Michael Rook: Then I'll be the best Platinum Ranked ever.... I think I'm going to call myself, Perfect.
Stylish Jack: (Chuckles) Perfect is already kinda like your nickname, so it's going to suit you... When you become a Professional Adventurer, come to me, I'll give you something nice to wear.
Michael Rook: Nice?, It has to be Perfect! Just like me! (Michael yells with slight anger)
Stylish Jack: Oh no! Your state of mind is changing again! Quick put on the glasses! (Jack tells him anxiously)
Michael Rook: Right! (Michael says as he puts on the glasses)
Stylish Jack: How do you feel? (Jack asks)
Michael Rook: Perfect. (Michael answers with a smile)
Back to the present day, Michael Rook has just redirected the Erasing Flame back at Kronos, and his burning body lies motionless on the ground.
Mr Perfect: (Thinks to himself) That Erasing Flame I redirected must have been very dangerous. I'm already back to my normal state of mind, which means that I've lost a huge amount of magical energy... And yet, I don't feel that this fight is over. (Perfect wonders nervously)
Suddenly the enormous arm of a dragon emerges from the burning body of Kronos and slams onto the ground. Seconds later another arm sprouts out and joins the first in it's stance. Then the body begins to grow in size, and eventually becomes a fully transformed Dragon.
Kronos The Great Demon Of Time (Fully Transformed): If I were a lesser Demon, I might have been killed by that attack.... Luckily, I have risen to a higher level of power... I am now a king. (The mighty Dragon tells Perfect, as it towered over him)
Next: Great Demon King.
