Kieran, a Draconian competing in a high-stakes tournament, shocks everyone by awakening as an SSS-Class Esper, a feat thought impossible. His rival Nolan, a deputy commander in the Exalted Legion, suspects Kieran of cheating and privately vows to stop him from joining their ranks. During the fierce battle, Kieran demonstrates overwhelming fire-type powers, including the Infernal Flame and Blightflame, pushing Nolan to desperation. Nolan counters with a powerful Stonefang Bear attack called Petricleave, disrupting Kieran's focus and leaving him vulnerable. As Nolan prepares a final strike, the outcome remains uncertain, heightening the tournament's tension.
