20 years previously the tournament was the centre of attention during the Mahora Festival, however, over the years the Martial Arts boom faded and the event dwindled.

The event was to allow people from the inner world to challenge each other. But because of small video cameras being developed, and the variety of styles being used, this event drastically shrunk. People from the inner world can use their power to the fullest. People from the outer world will be able to see this real power with their own eyes and learn what it is. Chao Lingshen bought the rights to host the event. With the purpose of seeing the strongest from both the inner (secretive magic) world and the outer (public normal) world. Kazumi was employed by Chao Lingshen to host the event as announcer

During the most recent Mahora Academy School Festival the tournament was originally a small tournament with a 100,000 yen award, one of many such tournaments during the festival that was hosted by the Mahora Martial Arts Club, until the tournament was acquired by Chao Lingshen and merged with the other tournaments into one massive tournament held at the Tatsumiya Shrine.
Chao intended to use the tournament as a way to expose the "Inner World" (Magic World) to the "Outer World" ("Normal World").
