The Return of the Two Titans
Chapter 13 – The Return of the Two Titans! A New Era Begins!
5 Years Later… The World Has Changed.
The world was no longer the same as before.
In the five years since Kairo and Raizen's legendary battle against the Firstborns, a new system had emerged—one that dictated power, authority, and purpose.
It was called…
The Ranking System.
Every Beastborne warrior was now ranked based on their power, control, and achievements.
This system ensured order and determined one's role in society.

Ranking System – The Path of the Beastborne Warriors
After the Great Council of the Three Regions, the Ranking System was established to measure the strength, skills, and experience of Beastborne Warriors.
Every warrior who unlocks 30% of their beast's power and gains their transformation form is eligible to be ranked.

Kairo & Raizen's Return to Civilization
The capital city of the Vermilion Region was unrecognizable.
When Kairo and Raizen left five years ago, the world was still wild, untamed. Now—
Massive ranking halls lined the streets.
Warriors of all ranks stood in formation, waiting for their assignments.
The ranking system had given the world structure, purpose… and power.
And at the center of it all—
The Aether Coliseum.
This was where all warriors were tested and ranked.
Where legends were made.
And Kairo and Raizen…
Had returned to claim their rank.

The Entrance Exam – Who Are These Two?
The moment Kairo and Raizen stepped into the Coliseum, all eyes turned toward them.
They looked different now.
Kairo's golden-red hair burned with a faint glow, his eyes sharp like fire itself.
Raizen's silver aura crackled subtly, his presence heavy like a coming storm.
To the outside world, they were just two unknown warriors.
Nobody knew them.
Nobody recognized them.
But that—
Was about to change.

The Ranking Officer Appears
A tall figure stepped forward.
Captain Vaelis, a Gold-Rank Examiner.
His black wolf fur cloak swayed as he crossed his arms, looking unimpressed.
"This is the Aether Coliseum," Vaelis said, his voice filled with authority. "All warriors seeking official ranks must undergo an evaluation."
He scanned Kairo and Raizen.
"You two… you look strong." His smirk was confident. "But looks mean nothing here."
Raizen cracked his knuckles. "Then let's stop wasting time."
Kairo's eyes burned. "Just tell us what we need to do."
Vaelis chuckled. "Bold. I like it."
He gestured toward the massive ranking arena.
"Step forward. Show us your strength. And we will decide… where you belong."

The First Trial Begins!
The ranking process had three major trials:
1. Power Demonstration – Showcasing raw physical strength and elemental control.
2. Combat Trial – A real battle against examiners or other warriors.
3. Final Judgment – The Rank Masters decide their placement based on overall performance.
Kairo and Raizen stepped into the arena.
A crowd had already gathered.
People whispered.
"Who are they?"
"They don't have a rank yet?"
"They're walking in like they own the place…"
The Ranking Examiners prepared themselves.
And then—
The first trial began.
