TAKKAS, a vast continent filled with wonders and mysticism, radiates majestic beauty. Like a fantasy world, it boasts kingdoms, nobility, monsters, and knights. However, the TAKKAS continent also has two sides: one side is beautiful with its natural splendor, while the other side is plagued by wars between kingdoms, demons, and monsters.

Legends speak of seven glowing stones that transform into seven mysterious dragons, known by humans as the "Seven Chosen Dragons." On April 14th of the Era of the Libya Empire, Emperor Arthur Libya IX hosts a festival held every four years called the Festival of the Four Guardians of the Compass Winds.

"From this moment, I declare that the Festival of the Four Guardians of the Compass Winds is officially underway," proclaimed Arthur Libya.

The guests cheered, "Long live Your Majesty the Emperor! Long live Your Majesty the Emperor!"

The Festival of the Four Guardians of the Compass Winds is a friendly competition attended by nobility of various classes, including lower and upper nobility, as well as the royal family. The competition involves sword fights against sword fights, magic against magic, and, of course, sword versus magic duels.

"Huh, this festival is bound to be very lively, isn't it, senior?" asked Jack Vaskerill.

"Yes, I think so," replied Olive Tigerhart.

"It's been a while since I've seen you, Elder Olive. How are you?" Bruce Aikyson greeted.

"It's been a while, Bruce. How's that little sorceress of yours?" Olive asked.

"My daughter is doing well, and how's your little tiger?" Bruce inquired.

"Oh, don't worry. Mentally and physically, that child is equivalent to ten of my iron tiger soldiers! Hahaha," Olive laughed.

It is foretold that at the third festival, six genius children will appear, two of whom are monsters with the potential to devastate an entire empire with their combined power. These six children include Tosca Tigerhart from the Tigerhart family, Stern Aufleuchten from the Aufleuchten family, Hudson Hornet and Claire Edison from lower nobility, Daisy Lamnan from the Lamnan royal family, and Alisha Libya from the Libya Empire.

One day, Emperor Arthur Libya announced the opening of the knight training camp and magic training camp.

At the Knight Training Camp

"Hey, Stern, why did you choose the knight camp?" Hudson Hornet asked with curiosity.

"Huh, what a silly question. It's obvious that men are men, and only men should take and attend the knight camp," Stern Aufleuchten replied casually.

From behind, Alisha Libya overheard and was annoyed. "Oh, really? I didn't know that."

Hudson Hornet panicked, "Oh no, Your Highness!"

"Be quiet and shush. Look at that person training," Alisha said.

"Why? Isn't that your brother, Your Highness?" Hudson asked.

From a distance, Alisha's brother, Corin Libya, was training with a younger boy, around eleven years old.

"Seventh Secret Technique of Libya: Thunderfire Wheel," Corin announced.

"First Technique of the Tiger Sword: Tiger Leap Slash," Tosca executed his sword technique with high focus.

The Tiger Sword Technique has thirteen forms, and the first form is the Tiger Leap Slash, which uses agility and high focus.

"Second Technique of the Tiger Sword: Thunderstep Tiger Claw," Tosca continued.

"It seems I'm losing again. I surrender," Corin said and left the area.

"Hey, Stern, why don't you try dueling him after my brother?" Alisha challenged.

"Alright, Your Highness, but what's the prize if I win?" Stern asked confidently.

"You're quite confident, Stern. Alright, I'll give you one of the finest weapons of my ancestors, The Great Mother Maria," Alisha responded.

Stern immediately went towards Tosca and challenged him with a wooden sword. The duel began with great enthusiasm.

"I'll start," Stern declared.

Tosca parried Stern's attack with the third technique of the Tiger Sword: Predator Silence Peak. Tosca vanished from Stern's sight, causing confusion.

"Stern, behind you!" Hudson shouted.

Tosca swung the wooden sword from above, but Stern managed to block it. They continued to fight until both wooden swords broke simultaneously.

"Interesting. I have found an evenly matched opponent," Tosca said, gazing at the sky.

"I am Stern Aufleuchten from the Aufleuchten family. State your name!" Stern demanded.

Tosca simply smiled and said, "My name is Tosca," then went back to his tent.

"Hey, look, he's going back to his tent," Alisha said casually.

"Why is he going to the Tiger Peak camp?" Hudson asked in surprise.

"Just wait. Let's find out more closely," Alisha whispered.

Suddenly, Rendi Vaskrill appeared, "Who are all of you?"
