As Sam stood behind the arena, he noticed the contestants eagerly waiting for the arrival of the renowned Mage King. It wasn't long before the Mage King himself, Luther Von Winson, graced the place with his royal mage robe, dark brown hair, and penetrating brown eyes. Beside him stood a boy who seemed to be about Sam's age, bearing a striking resemblance to the Mage King.
Sam couldn't help but think, 'So this is the mage king's son, Prince Ethan, huh? Grandpa Anos did mention he might be a formidable opponent.' Sam knew better than to underestimate the Prince, especially with his grandfather's warnings.
As Prince Ethan's gaze met Sam's, he sent a smug expression, seemingly trying to provoke him to do his best in the tournament. But Sam wasn't here to prove himself to others; he came to win. He responded with an arrogant smile that seemed to say, "Bring it on," and turned his back to the Mage King.
