Zeno, who was made the leader of the village due to the fact that he's the successor according to their beliefs.

Every month , they put on a ceremony where the leader, Zeno Ayato, takes on a warrior in the village. They viewed it as a way for the leader to remind his people about how strong he can be.

Before Zeno came along it was always Hina taking on the villagers by herself, which is why they considered her fit to be a servant of the young master.

When Hina was a little girl, her father would tell her tales about the successor, she had already been blessed with the blue crystals at a very young age, which lead to her training to stand by the Successors side when the time comes.

But now that Zeno is the leader, he has to be the one battling them, since he had spent weeks with them , his potential had been gradually showing itself every day.

. . . .

"Zeno! Come one wake up" Hina walked into the room.

Zeno was lying on the bed sleeping, he was no longer small, he was already back to his normal size and still had no memory of where he was from.

Hina sat down on the bed, using her hands to move Zeno's hair to the side, she couldn't help but smile as she watched him sleep.

"Has he not woken up yet?" An old woman said, using a wooden stick to assist herself as she walked into the room.

She is considered the mage of the west, due to stories that spread wide about her, history has it that she once took down and entire empire with a single spell.

Hina immediately stood up from the bed upon hearing her voice, "Grandma! I thought you were in the middle of starting the ceremony" She uttered.

"The ceremony can't start if the leader isn't there" The old woman said, she moved closer to Zeno and placed her staff on his chest.

The staff sent in a small wave of lightning, but that was enough to wake up Zeno. He opened his eyes screaming as the shock made its way to his head.

. . . .

"Why can't she just wake me up like a normal person" Zeno muttered, adjusting his cloth as he walked over to the ceremony.

He could already hear the sound of drums beating and people celebrating, "I don't think I've ever seen the village this lively before" Zeno thought to himself.

"Good morning My lord" One of the maid standing at the entrance of the ceremony greeted.

"Morning Selina, have you seen Selvin today?" Zeno asked.

"I believe he's already seated at the honour table" Selina answered.

"Oh, I'll take my leave then," He walked into the field and suddenly all eyes were on him, "Yep, I can't get used to this" He whispered in his thought.

"Welcome my lord"

"Lord Zeno, welcome"

They all kept greeting him as he passed by, he was forced to put on a smile and wave back at the villagers.

One of the female warriors walked up to him, "Right this way" She said, leading him to where he was going to sit.

When he got there he sat down in between Hina and Selvin, after Zeno, they are considered the next in charge since they were his direct servants

"So, have you managed to remember anything yet, about where you come from?" Selvin asked.

"No not yet, all I remember are the few weeks I spent here, nothing else" Zeno replied, taking a grape from the fruit bowl.

"That's too bad, Oh well" Selvin sighed.

"But I'm sure it will work out eventually" Zeno threw the grape in his mouth.

Hina banged her hands on the table and both Zeno and Selvin paused, slowly turning to look at her face.

"If you two don't mind, the ceremony is about to begin, so can we all just enjoy this event without me hitting someone to death" Hina uttered, her voice sounded angry but her face was sending a different message.

"SURE"...

The ceremony started, beautiful women came outside to dance first, each one walking up to Zeno to give him a drink of their wine.

Then after that, they had the bull wrestle, the magic layout and a whole lot of entertainment, then the main course finally arrived.

A man wearing a white robe walked up to the center of the arena, he was known as the village's wise man.

"Please My lord, it is time for the Main event" As soon as the man said these words, everybody began cheering.

"That's my call" Zeno stood up from the ground, pulling off his shirt as he turned to look at Hina, "Wish my luck" he walked away.

Hina had her mouth opened as she stared at Zeno's masculine body, she could barely make out what was going on around her.

"Sister, you're drooling in public" Selvin said, as he took a bite of an apple.

Hina quickly closed her mouth before stoning Slevin with the spoon that was on the table.

"Hey!"

Zeno walked to the arena and all around him were people cheering, it was a little bit overwhelming for him.

"Is there any warrior, right here in this ceremony, willing and ready to take on our Lord Zeno, in a combat…" The man in white yelled.

No one spoke up, instead the whole place went silent, no one wanted to take on Zeno.

"Why the? Am I that weak people are actually pitting me?" Zeno thought to himself.

Suddenly a voice came from within the crowd, "I'll take him on, if you don't mind" The man said.

He walked up to the stage and brought with him a huge blade that was scraping the ground as he walked.

He was known as the boss slayer, he is one of the strongest warriors in Rizaha and has the highest count of defeating Intruders.

With a smile on his face Zeno held his ground with his fist folded, "Great, and I was starting to think I wasn't worthy enough."

Hina and Slevin could see the dark magic aura that was bursting out of his body.

"I think he's getting carried away with this"

Selvin said with a smug look on.

Hina sighed, "When it comes to battle, he's always carried away".

Zeno took a fighting stance, looking directly at the Boss slayer, "Come at me" Zeno uttered.

"As my lord wishes" The boss slammed his feet on the ground, with a Sonic boom , he whooshed to Zeno's front.

His blade was held high before he sent it crashing down, Zeno used his arm to block the blade.

Zeno's hands got covered fire, with a smile, he shifted the blade to the side, and was about to land a hit to the boss.

"Not bad my lord, but still" The boss, shifted his hold on the blade and the three gews that were on it started glowing.

A red magic circle appeared on the boss's arm and it made him stronger, strong enough to push Zeno a few feet.

The force created a huge boom that caused the ground to crumble leaving only smoke and the erected earth for people to see.

Everyone was shocked when they could only see the boss slayer walking out of the smoke with his blade rested on his neck.

"Did Zeno really lose?" Slevin asked, leaning forward to see if there was a chance Zeno was down.

"Of course not" Hime replied, "He's just doing what he always does, enjoying the moment".

Zeno whooshed out of the smoke with his eyes glowing blue, he held the boss throat slamming him to the ground.

The boss couldn't get up, he tried moving but Zeno's strength was massively weighing on him.

Zeno then covered his hands in a red like Mana and was getting ready to land a punch to the boss.

"Help! help!" A girl cried out as she ran into the arena.

All eyes immediately fell on her, Zeno was forced to leave the match and attend to the girl.

"Lord Zeno, it's Elena, the Fiora village took her"
