The Vokari breach wasn’t just an attack—it was a message.

Kael, Reya, and Silas stood shoulder to shoulder as monstrous shapes poured through Sector 9’s shattered gates. The air was thick with smoke and the screams of students caught off guard.

Vera’s voice crackled over the comms:
“Hold the line! No one dies today!”

Chaos Unleashed

Kael’s pulse hammered as the closest Vokari lunged at him—muscle and teeth rippling, claws like scythes.

He dodged, then unleashed a burst of his kinetic shockwave. The creature exploded in shards of dark energy, dissolving into nothingness.

Reya zipped through the chaos, bolts of lightning slicing through enemies with surgical precision.

Silas moved like a shadow himself, summoning ghostly arms that grabbed and crushed the invaders.

An Unseen Challenger

Amid the chaos, a new figure emerged—a lithe student in a sleek black uniform with a silver emblem gleaming on his chest.

“Kael Draven,” the newcomer called out, voice cold as ice. “You don’t belong here.”

Kael frowned. “And you are?”

“I’m Ashen Crowe, elite from Class One.” His eyes glinted with contempt. “And I’m here to show you why you’re a mistake.”

The Duel

Before Kael could respond, Ashen charged.

The two clashed in a blur—Ashen wielding dual blades that shimmered with frost, Kael fighting with his kinetic blasts and the jagged blade Vera gave him.

Their fight was a storm—lightning, fire, ice, and metal crashing together.

Ashen was skilled, precise, but Kael’s explosive power kept pushing him back.

A Moment of Reckoning

Suddenly, Ashen smirked and unleashed a blizzard that froze the battlefield.

Kael’s flames sputtered under the cold, his body trembling.

But then, inside the freezing air, something stirred. The fire inside Kael roared back, hotter and brighter than ever.

With a shout, Kael shattered the ice with a massive explosion, sending shockwaves ripping through the ground.

Ashen stumbled, eyes wide.

Vera’s voice came through again:
“Kael, control it. Don’t let the power control you.”

Aftermath

Ashen backed off, conceding for now.

“Class Zero is weak,” he said, voice dripping with venom. “But I’ll be watching.”

He vanished into the smoke.

Kael stood panting, the fire inside still burning wild.

Reya clapped a hand on his shoulder.

“Looks like you just made your first enemy.”
