Scene —Several cars are parked on the ground of Doramai School.In front of them, many students are standing.Ahead of the students, teachers and Principal Rana stand on a stage.
Rana:Today, the participants selected from our side for the National Tournament are—Shai Fugasu.
(Note: School Tournament = National TournamentKingdom Tournament = International TournamentClass Tournament name remains the same)
Scene —Shai walks onto the stage.As Rana continues announcing names, students come up one by one.
Rana:Nimi Dosa, Pretty Sharta, Lior Fiz, Miliem Nesu (female), Damu Lith (male), and finally… Precious Fiz.
Random Student 1:What?! But there was no one named Precious in the top 7!
Student 2:Yes, right!I think he was from Class 9.
Student 3:Then who is that kid?
Student 4:Isn't that Jackson's position?!
Student 5:Did the principal call the wrong person?
Student 6:But this is a serious matter.He can't make such a mistake.
Scene —A teacher steps forward.
Teacher: "MASHA GOKU"
Masha:Silence. Silence.
Scene —Slowly, all the chatter stops.
Rana:I know what you're all thinking—Why did I choose Precious, and why didn't I select the 7th-ranked student, Jackson?
Random Students:Yes!That's wrong!Explain!
Rana:The truth is…There was never a 7th winner from the beginning.
Scene —Everyone looks confused.
Rana:Precious is an extremely powerful student.If he had participated earlier, victory would have been 100% guaranteed.
But there was one problem—The National Tournament is a weapon-based tournament,and Precious didn't have a weapon.
I personally told him that if he could obtain a weapon before the tournament,he would be allowed to participate.
And now—here he is.
Tain (in his mind):Even I didn't know about this…
Scene —A little distance away, standing at the back, is Jackson.
Jackson:This is wrong!That position belongs to me!Why does a first-year kid get it?!
Scene —Precious stands calmly, his sword "Jaitriya" hanging on his left side.
Rana:That matter is settled.Now I will continue.
Rana:Tain Fiz and Khan Sharta will remain here.They cannot participate because they are Student Presidents.
Random Student 1:I see… Presidents can't join the tournament.
Student 2:But that lowers our chances of victory.They performed amazingly in the Black Primordial War—I saw it on the news.
Student 1:True… but rules are rules.
Student 3:Still, this year has too many first-year students.Normally, first-years don't participate at all.
Student 4:Yeah, four first-years this time.But are they really stronger than Classes 8, 9, and 10?
Student 2:Well, even the Student Presidents are from Class 5,yet they're stronger than Classes 6, 7, and 8.
Student 1:Hmm… times are changing.We need to become stronger too, or we'll fall far behind.
Students 2, 3, 4:Right… 😐
Rana:Now, all tournament participants—Board the bus in front of you.
Those staying behind—Study hard and train well.Maybe next year, you'll be selected too.
And don't forget to cheer for your school.
Everyone:Yes, sir!!
Scene — Bus Interior
All participants board the bus.Inside are one driver, two teachers, and seven students.
Baki (male):My name is Baki Orbut.I'll be responsible for your protection during the tournament—as a coach and manager.
And I'm not alone.With me is another teacher—Ms. Shila Chau.
Shila:Nice to meet all of you.I hope you feel comfortable with me.And as always, I hope our school wins the tournament.
Damu (whispering):She's so cute…
Scene — Description:Shila has long black hair with a brown shine, purple-black eyes.Baki has purple-and-red hair, with black-and-yellow eyes.
Lior:Thank you for coming with us, Sir Baki and Ma'am Shila.

Scene — On the Road
Precious sits calmly, enjoying the view.They have just left Agram City and entered open plains—friendly beasts, farmers, green grass, cool wind, perfect weather.
Suddenly—
Kail (Precious's Manas Skill):Precious, how will you fight?Both you and your sword are extremely powerful.
Precious:Yeah, I know.
Kail:Then why not use Aura Soldiers?I've only seen them once—during the Black Primordial War and the Shin Kingdom war.
Precious:My Aura Soldiers are extremely powerful—almost Demon Lord level.Using them casually wouldn't be a good idea.
Kail:But you're even stronger than them.Wouldn't it be better to use them instead of holding back?
Precious:I can adjust my own power.After Nivra, I can suppress it down—from zero to just slightly above human level.
Kail:Then why not create normal Aura Soldiers?
Precious:Creating Aura Soldiers is normally difficult—but not for me.
Kail:How?
Precious:Aura Soldiers are created from the aura of other beings.Their strength depends on the original owner's power.
Kail:Okay…
Precious:And for that, I need the aura of a being who is about to die.
Kail:That sounds easy.
Precious:No.It must be done exactly within a 2-second window—not before, not after.
Kail:Right… after death, the aura disappears instantly.
Precious:Exactly.So within those final 2 seconds,the aura must be converted into an Aura Soldier.
Kail:Hmm… 2 seconds is extremely short.So what's your capacity?How many soldiers do you have?
Precious:Technically infinite—I can create them myself.
But only 500 Aura Soldiers have their own intelligence—and each of them is as powerful as a Demon King or Primordial.
Kail:I'm not even shocked anymore… I'm used to this.What about the ones without intelligence?
Precious:They're as strong as Demon Lords or True Dragons.
Kail:PFF—!!!Okay, now I'm shocked!
An endless army—where every soldier is Demon Lord or True Dragon level?!
Precious:And that's not all.I also have a Shadow Army, Skeleton Army,and many other types of armies.
Kail:?!?!?!Then why did you even need to create Secret Sky?!And why did it need its own army?!
Precious:You're right…But that would be too overpowered.
Kail:Heh… heh… heh…
Precious:Still… after hearing you,
I think I should add some normal Aura Soldiers as well.
