While Ace is out and about exploring various dungeons, the ten dragons hold a meeting.
Sebastian the first to arrive walks into the giant room where a large table sits with 10 seats. Each seat representing each of the ten dragons. As Sebastian walks to his seat each of his steps cause the inter dimensional meeting room to shake a rumble.
Next walks in Serenity with grace she strides to her seat.
After Serenity sits down, Lara walks through as she steps into the room the temperature instantly raised making Serenity and Sebastian drip with sweat. Walking over to her chair the ground under her glows a deep orange colour that quickly fades.
Next comes Jessica floating gracefully over the table into her seat.
With a jingle and clinking Malacai walks in to the room dawning his best armour.
Drums start beating as a swirl of light and holy elements form around the entrance as Qamar the Holy dragon walks in with his dark tanned skin and crisp white outfit. His aura radiating holy elements.
Drums start playing again as Snow starts falling in the room, Kori walks out with grace as they elegantly sit down. Their aura filling the room with a killing chill.
Drums play again as the room starts to rumble, walking through the door is Marna the martial dragon. As she walks towards her chair her every muscle flex and bounce showing her incredible physique.
The drums play again and instantly with a gust of wind everyone sees Ceibo the lightning dragon sitting in his chair. Static surrounds her with every breath or movement.
A whole band plays as Chiua walks through the door with various aspects of different monsters on her. The wings of a bird and a bat on her back and claws of a dragon cover her hands. As she walks over to her seat the other dragons bow to her.
Upon Chiua taking her seat they start the meeting.
"Lets start with thanking everyone for making it here today. The first thing on the topic is the ten dragon competition coming up. We have a few applicants, enough to get it started next week I believe, but lets discuss what we are going to challenge them with." Chiua starts the meeting off saying.
Everyone pitches in making comments and suggestions. After a few hours everything settles and they all go home.

Sebastian immediately finds Ace and informs him about the ten dragon competition being brought forward due to lack of powerful individuals in the upper 15 of the world.
Ace looks worried as he hears he only has a few days to prepare. Quickly Ace heads over to his village and works on growing in strength. With no idea of what to expect Ace trains for every circumstance he can as well as making a definite plan on what blessing he will use and not use. Quickly the two year adventuring milestone makes its way.
Ace trains by using his stamina draining blessings and origin power trying to find ways of best using his limited stamina in a prolonged fight. Deciding to focus on fighting defensively to protect his stamina, HP and true combat power.
After about a day of training Ace mastered various new fighting styles using his spear and new equipment. Ace then decides to train using his combo attacks at his regular speed, managing at most to land a 4 hit combo.
After two days Ace manages to make it to level 62 and if he pushes himself can manage to land a 5 hit combo attack without any speed boosts or blessings.
Quickly the day approaches and Ace focuses on polishing and cleaning up his gear and relaxing trying to calm his nerves.
On the day of Ace fully equipped with all of his gear and a backpack. He goes on a walk outside the village to clear his mind, after a while a large golden door appears Infront of Ace. Ace hears "Open the door to come through to the ten dragon competition."
Ace opens the door as a cool breeze blows against him as fog flows eerily out of the open door as Ace steps in it.
