Narrator: In Year 106, 3 months have passed since Livon's mission at the Rimsor Forest. And now it's time for the 5th World Tournament to begin!!

The world known as "Bhoomi" is divided into 4 different countries:

1) Crystal
2) Aquatic
3) Strand
4) Dragon

Every five years, an academy takes place in all four countries. The minimum age to join an academy is 18; the maximum is 23. And only four students pass the academy after studying for one whole year. The students who pass the academy are given the status of "Elite Soliders".

Till now, a total of four world tournaments have taken place. Out of which, the winners of two world tournaments have been revealed in the story. Denma is the winner of the 2nd World Tournament, and Tegan is the winner of the 4th World Tournament. Both of them were from the Dragon Country.

In the 5th World Tournament, all 16 new Elite Soldiers from four countries will participate in a knockout tournament to determine the winner. Just participating in the tournament is big enough to provide you with fame and all the luxurious things. As has been proven in the past, Miyuki, who was the finalist, and Suzune, who was the semi-finalist of the 4th World Tournament, were loved by fans all over the world.

The 5th World Tournament is scheduled to take place at the "World Stadium," which is located near the "World Palace." The World Palace is located at the center of the world. This is the place where the Great Leader resides.

Denma, a member of Dushyanta who was captured by Aiden and Skyler at the Aquatic Academy, has been brought to the World Palace and has been kept in prison with tight supervision by The Great Leader himself.

But Denma was unexpectedly greeted by a guest who happened to be his longtime friend. The friend's name was Hanna (Chief in Commander of the Dragon Country). Hanna was standing outside the prison looking at Denma, whose whole body was covered with bruises and chains were tied all over him.

Denma (in a low voice to Hannah): Why are you here? (while coughing blood)

Hanna (in a harsh voice): Nothing. I just came here to look at the face of a terrorist.

Denma- Hahahahaha!!!

Hanna: A terrorist who could be the potential trigger for a war against the Dushayanta!!

Denma: Is that all? Then look very closely!! Your predictions will come true after all!!

Hanna (while grinding her teeth): What really happened to you?? How can you fall this far? I still remember the days when we used to study at the Dragon Academy together. I still remember the day when we both fought at the finals of the 2nd World Tournament. I considered you my friend!!! But why did you leave the Dragon Country and end up joining the Dushyanta? You were always so good and nice with everyone, but what made you like this?? Tell me!!

Denma (while coughing blood): Maybe sometimes people did not actually change. Maybe you just never knew who they really were.

Hanna (with a sorrowful face): Is that all the explanation you got?? You won't even bother to tell your friend the truth!! How low have you really fallen?

Denma (in a low voice): I think a chief of commander of a country has more important concerns than talking to a terrorist. You should go now.

Hanna: Why don't you just tell us the secrets about the Dushyanta? Then, I am sure, the Great Leader will give you some leniency.

Denma: I don't need your pity!!! Just leave!!!!

(Hanna started to leave when she heard something from Denma)

Denma: And Hannah, good luck to your Elite Soliders for the tournament.

Hanna (in her mind): So you haven't changed completely.

Narrator: Currently in the World Palace, preparations for the World Tournament have begun. People from all four countries have started gathering for the event. The Elite Soliders from the Dragon Country (Itsumi, Eldon, Mizumi, and Noren) are the first ones to arrive at the World Palace for the tour, which is scheduled to start in a week.

Hanna, the Chief In Commander of the Dragon Country, is giving her last encouraging message to the Elite Soliders before the tournament starts.

All the elite soliders bowed before Hanna.

Hanna: I guess everyone must be feeling a little tense right now.

Mizumi (to hanna): Yes, a little bit, ma'am...

Hanna: Then try to calm yourself before the events start. And do not push yourself too much. It won't do you any good if you are not 100% ready with both your mind and body.

Eldon: I am not tense right now. Not even a single bit. In fact, I just can't wait for the fighting to start. My body is filled with excitement. I will crush everyone who comes in my way, and then I will retain the World Tournament for the Dragon Country. I will make the whole Dragon Country proud!!

Hanna (to eldon): Well, at least someone is not tense.

Noren: Ma'am, actually, I am not feeling well. I would love it if you could give me some inspiration before the tournament.

Itsumi (to noren): What you are nervous about?! You should have told me then!!!

Narrator: Itsumi quickly, with a worried face, starts checking on Noren, trying to figure out if he is okay or not.

Itsumi (while checking on Noren): Tell me, where are you hurt?? Is your stomach aching? Or are your legs hurting? (itsumi started giving leg massage). Then are your hands painful? Don't tell me your head is hurting. In that case, I will go and quickly bring a medicine.

Noren (to itsumi): No!! No Sis!! I don't need that. My body is perfectly fine. I was just a little nervous, not hurt.

Itsumi (looking at noren with an open mouth in astonishment): This is serious now!! Come, let's go to the doctor then!! Come on, stand up. What are you waiting for?? Oh, now I understand. You want your big sister to carry you to the doctor. Then come on, hop on my back. We must hurry!!

Noren: The nervousness is gone!! What a miracle!! I am completely fine now, sis. There is no need to go to the doctor now.

Itsumi: You are sure that you are fine now??

Noren: Yeah, sis, completely!!

Itsumi: Then that's good. If you need any help, then come and tell your big sister about it. She will take care of everything. I have an idea: how about if you don't participate in the tournament? I don't want you to get hurt.

Noren: But sis, I want to participate!!

Itsumi: No!! I have decided that you won't participate now.

Noren: No, I will!!

Itsumi: What did you say?!

Mizumi and Eldon: Oh, great! These brothers and sisters are fighting again!!

Hanna: It's good to see some high spirits here.

Itsumi (to hanna): Extremely sorry, commander, that I interrupted in between.

Noren: I am sorry too, ma'am, for the disturbance we caused.

Hanna: There is no need to say sorry at all. Just everyone, give your best for the tournament. Don't be fixated on winning. Go and enjoy yourself!!

Narrator: While the Elite Soliders for the Dragon Country have already arrived at the World Palace, The Elite Soliders for the Aquatic Country (Livon, Raiden, Hinaka, and Ayumi) were training themselves in Raiden's backyard.

Livon (to raiden): You have gotten pretty stronger now, Raiden!!

Raiden: Well, the same goes for you too. I won't mind having another match between us.

Livon: well, neither will I mind.

Hinaka: Count me in too!! It will be perfect training for me.

Ayumi: How about a fatal four-way in that case?

Livon: Haha!! This is getting interesting.

Hinaka: Wait for a moment. Is Uncle Carson at home? Because if he is, then I don't think he would easily allow all four of us to have a friendly match.

Raiden: Good point, Hinaka. But fortunately, my father is not at home right now. So we will be good to go.

Narrator: Suddenly, Carson returns home. And he enters backward with a paper in his hand.

Ayumi: Oh, good. Here goes the match now. Uncle has returned!!

Carson: Stop fighting you all, idiots!! It's not the right time!! I have something important for you all. I have got the brackets for the tournament!!
