"Hmm…" (nods)

"Bzzzz…!!"

Stadium
Scene:
Inside the stadium, 49 screens are floating in the air, each showing a different student.
One screen shows Precious, who has entered the jungle and released his aura army.
Shera:
"Wow! Is that a necromancer?!"
Scene:
The kings react.
King Bit (inner thoughts):
"So he has necromancer power too?!"
King Rental (inner thoughts):
"Lord Precious is also in this tournament… then the winner is already decided. There's no point in continuing."
Lin:
"Wow… King Deku, he also has necromancer abilities."
Deku:
"Hmph! He might not be stronger than me, but—"
Deku (inner thoughts):
"I'm still the oldest necromancer."
Shera:
"For those who don't know, let me explain.
Necromancer abilities are completely different from skills.
In this world, along with skills, there are other powers like necromancy, cultivation, deck powers, and more. These abilities are a separate category.
"These powers didn't originally exist in this world. Every such ability came from another world—necromancy, cultivation, and others.
I believe necromancy first appeared about 1,300 years ago, when a human reincarnated from another world possessed this ability. He taught necromancy to other beings, and even today, some people still have it.
"A necromancer can revive dead beings up to a limit. It's not a complete revival—they become like zombies that follow the caster's orders. They can't speak, but they can hear and react. These summons can take the form of skeletons, zombies, or spirits.
"But even I didn't know something like an aura necromancer existed."
Viewer 1:
"Wow… so that means this kid is a rare necromancer?"
Viewer 2:
"Oh yes, it's possible…"
Other Screens
Scene:
One screen shows Pretty and Muni. Their fight has already ended, and now Muni and Cal are arguing.
Udera:
"That student is not my—!"
Scene:
Another screen shows Lior, flying through the air. He notices a cave below.
Lior:
"Oh, there's a cave… the blue berry might be inside."
Scene:
Lior lands and starts heading into the cave, but suddenly a beast blocks his path—a lion with white hair around its neck and two tails.
Lior:
"Oh! An epic lion!"
Lion:
"Aaaakhhhhhh!!!"
Scene:
The lion attacks with its paw, slashing forward.
Lior dodges, but the attack hits a tree, cutting it into two pieces.
Lior:
"…Dragon Kick!"
Scene:
Lior kicks the ground. The earth cracks, and a red dragon-shaped aura erupts from below, damaging the lion.
Lion:
"Agh…!"
Scene:
The lion attacks again, firing a red-and-white beam from its mouth.
Lior tries to dodge but fails and takes damage, crashing into a tree. His clothes tear slightly, but the damage isn't severe.
Lior (counterattacks):
"Jujutsu!"
Scene:
Two nearby trees grab the lion from both sides.
Lior:
"Thunder Punch!"
Scene:
Lior rushes in and lands multiple thunder-infused punches.
The lion is defeated and dies.
Lion:
"Uff… it's been a long time since someone defeated me…"
Scene:
Lior enters the cave and finds a blue-colored berry resting on a stone. He picks it up.
Scene:
A beam of light rises from his body and shoots into the sky.
Stadium
Scene:
Some students who are defeated are expelled from the jungle.
Shera:
"Any student who gets defeated will be sent out of the jungle!
Oh—someone has obtained the first blue berry!
"Now all he has to do is survive for one hour while holding it.
This light reveals his location to other students. If someone hides after getting the berry, it wouldn't be fun—that's why this light exposes them.
"Now the real question is: will this kid survive one hour with the berry, or will someone else take it from him?"
Back to the Jungle
Scene:
Lior exits the cave, but four students appear in front of him.
Tu (Naco Country):
"So he has the berry. Let's take it!"
Su (Naco Country):
"Yeah!"
Lior:
"Come if you can!!"
Lior (inner thoughts):
"There's no point in fighting. I just need to survive for one hour!"
Scene:
Lior spreads his wings and flies into the sky.
Ki (Naco Country):
"Damn it!! He can fly?! Is he a dragoon or something?!"
Scene:
Lior flies away, but suddenly a high-speed punch hits him. He can't dodge it and takes damage.
Lior:
"Aghn…!!"
Scene:
The attacker is a student from the Adhan Kingdom.
Kamui:
"Where are you running to?"
Scene:
Kamui is flying without wings.
Lior:
"So some students can fly too…"
Kamui:
"Hey, kid. Just give me the berry and I'll forgive you."
Lior:
"In your dreams…"
Scene:
Kamui is an 8th-class student, while Lior is only 1st class.
Kamui:
"Jet Kick!!"
Scene:
Kamui disappears and instantly reappears above Lior.
Lior:
"!!"
Scene:
Kamui kicks toward Lior's head. Lior blocks it with his arm but is forced downward.
Lior (counter):
"Ghost Grab!"

"?!!"

The new attacker is Zhuo, a student from the Cult Kingdom.
Lior:
"Y–You!!"
Scene:
Zhuo is a 9th-class student.
Zhuo:
"My, my… I didn't expect it to be you who got the berry."
Kamui:
"Hey! It's my target. Go find another one!"
Zhuo:
"And who are you?"
Kamui:
"You wanna die?! Bird Slash!"

Countless birds appear in the air and rush toward Zhuo.

"Steel Elbow Smash!"

Scene:
Lior attacks again.
Lior:
"Fire Bullet!"
Scene:
A bullet shoots from Lior's index finger. Kamui dodges, but the bullet grazes his arm.
Kamui:
"Agh…!"
Lior (inner thoughts):
"Damn it! If this keeps going, my energy will run out and I'll be defeated!
I need to escape—or end this fight quickly! There's no point in dragging this on; other students will arrive soon!"
Lior:
"Huna Rokle!"
(This skill creates a silver straight tornado filled with black lightning.)
Scene:
A massive tornado appears, burning trees, smashing stones, and tearing through the area.
Kamui and Zhuo retreat.
Kamui:
"What the hell?! Does this kid have death-level skills?!"
Zhuo:
"Are all Shin Kingdom students this powerful?!"

Precious:
"Oh…"
