champion was able to choose his prize. What Kuntarian chose wasn't a famous artifact like the

or the

, but a sword that was at the side. Everyone was confused by the choice. Compared to the other artifacts that allowed one to concentrate on using offensive Bander like the

, or the artifact that allowed one to multiply their Bander output like the

, the sword was like nothing. Unknown sword. It was brought back from the Great North Wall by Count Roman when he returned from Guard Duty and presented it to the King. Roman had been ambushed by an unknown tribe while guarding the Wall. The chief of the tribe had this sword, which made it difficult for Roman to fight him. Therefore, Roman brought the sword back to the capital. Even after the Exalted Magic Council examined it, the sword was made with such advanced technology that they could not decipher the mechanisms behind it. However, they discovered that it had a strange power that could multiply the user's energy. The only downside was that the user needed to use both Exar and Bander together. Since no one was capable of using the sword, it collected dust at the Royal Storage until it was chosen to be a prize of the tournament. Count Roman knew this and considered Kuntarian's selection to be a good one. Kuntarian seemed like a man who would be able to utilize the sword. 'But how did he recognize the sword?' Its power wasn't to be known until it was actually used. Count Roman looked at Kuntarian with interest, but that wasn't the important point. 'Will he be able to return home safely?' Roman immediately looked over at his second son Sian the moment Rian was beaten up. As a father, he was also sad and angry that his son was getting beaten up, but that was the life of a warrior. Rian wasn't a boy who would cry and reach out for help from his father. Count Roman knew this and knew it wasn't his job to interfere. But Sian was different. He did not care about what others thought. Sian had been educated to not be violent and always mind the responsibility of using force, but nothing would stop him this time. Sian had no greed or ambition, but he loved his family. Especially his brother. He always tried his best to not get in the way of his brother, but he was always worried. And now this happened. It was amazing that Sian was still keeping quiet. Count Roman was prepared to jump out and stop Sian from beating up Kuntarian right after the boy started pummeling Rian. 'Sian, please don't kill him. Not to mention… the King knows about Sian.' He saw the King looking at Sian. It was obvious that the King knew about Sian because of the way he turned to look at the boy, and that relieved the Count. He needed to talk to the King about Sian, but it was so unbelievable that he was hesitant about telling him. If the King already knew, then it was easy. -One week after

- Kuntarian enjoyed his victory for a while and began preparing for an entrance ceremony. He wasn't to be disturbed, so he even borrowed a small mansion in the outer area of the capital. Excited, Kuntarian looked at the sword in front of him. After this ceremony, he was going to be reborn. And when that time came, no Grand Bander was going to stand in his way. That was what the heart of a

warrior, which replaced his own heart, was telling him.
