It was quite sometime ago when the Heart Kingdom needed to select a Mage who would serve as a symbol of the kingdom's strength.
Approximately a hundred Mages were gathered to fight in a last man standing tournament, where the winner would be declared the No 1 Elite Mage. And the rest would be ranked depending on their performance in the tournament.
Among the Mages is a younger Leon Chronos, Gwenevier Topaz and Mr Perfect. At this point in time they don't know each other well enough to be considered friends, but this is the day that changes.
The tournament begins and the young Mr Perfect leaps into action. With his Perfect Slash he sends twenty or so Mages out of the arena, eliminating them from the tournament.
Gwenevier is also fighting. The Mages she is up against are no match for her incredible strength, and she knocks sixteen of them out of the arena, one by one with ease. The commentators for the tournament talk about the participants, enlightening the audience who don't know some of the Mages that were fighting.
Commentator Kenny: Wow, that Gwenevier sure is a brute. Look how she manhandles the competition. (Kenny said as he makes faces each time Gwenevier lands a powerful punch to an opponent)
Commentator Paul: She sure is, Kenny. But I've got to say she's not the only one, that young Mage over there calls himself Mr Perfect. And with the way he's taking out the competition, he just might be able to win this.
Other Mages continue fighting fiercely, displaying incredible feats of magic and strength... Everyone seems to be doing their best, except for a single Mage who laid on the ground, seemingly asleep in the middle of the arena.
Paul: Wait a minute Kenny, Is that guy sleeping? (Paul asks in surprise)
Kenny: I believe he is Paul, which is funny because that's Leon Chronos. I heard he's a powerful Mage, I actually thought he would be more of a challenge to the others.
Paul: If he keeps on sleeping like that, he's gonna be in trouble. Oh look, now! (Paul yells as he sees someone try to attack the sleeping Leon)
The Mage tried to attack Leon with an explosive attack, and the blast seemingly hits him. But in truth he's actually behind the attacker, and kicks the man with such force that he's knocked out of the arena.
Leon yawns as he stretches out his limbs. He then begins his attack, moving across the arena at unthinkable speeds, and taking out forty Mages out singlehandedly.
Kenny: Oh my Spirits! That was amazing! (Kenny yelled in amazement)
Paul: True, looks like he might be the strongest one here.
As the dust settles. Gwenevier, Perfect and everyone else, knows who they have to defeat if they ever want to become No 1.
Next: No 1 (Part 2)
