Location:
Argent Blade Academy — Class D Dormitory & Moonfall Courtyard
Time: Midnight
Scene 1: Ominous Signs
The night air felt wrong.
Celsius stopped mid-step.
Eridiaries: "They come in numbers."
Shadows stretched unnaturally along the corridor walls.
Celsius (thought): They're targeting Class D.
Scene 2: Breach
Explosions shattered the dormitory windows.
Screams followed.
Black mist poured inside.
Student: "DEMONS!"
Celsius moved instantly.
Shadow wrapped his arms.
Scene 3: Selene in Danger
Location: Moonfall Courtyard
Selene was surrounded.
A cultist raised a ritual blade.
Cultist: "Offer the seer!"
Time froze.
Celsius appeared between them.
Celsius: "Step away."
The blade fell—cut clean in half.
Selene stared.
Selene: "Celsius…?"
Scene 4: Unleashed
The cultists charged.
Celsius exhaled.
Celsius: "Shadow Art—Umbral Step."
He vanished.
Reappeared.
Again.
Cultists fell unconscious—or worse.
A demon lunged.
Celsius caught its jaw with shadow.
Crushed.
The courtyard fell silent.
Scene 5: Witnesses
Torches flooded in.
Students stared in shock.
Garron arrived, blade drawn.
Garron: "By the abyss…"
Selene grabbed Celsius' sleeve.
Selene: "You saved me."
Celsius said nothing.
Scene 6: Consequences
Location: Administrative Tower
Aurelion watched the scene through magic.

An elder whispered.
Elder: "Contain him?"
Aurelion shook her head.
Aurelion: "No."
Aurelion: "Prepare the battlefield."
Scene 7: The God's Whisper
Location: Inner Void
Eridiaries: "You showed too much."

The god chuckled.
Eridiaries: "Good."
