[Scene 1 | Demon Realm – Zarek's Secret Lab]
In a hidden underground lab, blood seals, demonic runes, and hybrid test tubes glow with eerie light.
Zarek, wearing a white coat like an evil genius, is scanning ancient scrolls and forbidden texts.
Reinhardt stands silently in a corner — his eyes burning with cold vengeance.
Zarek (whispering):
"The gods who created mana gave humans a limit…
I broke that limit."
He unveils a hybrid soldier — a Demi-Human Demon Hybrid, pulsing with unstable mana.
Half demon. Half artificially enhanced human. Pure weaponized chaos.
Reinhardt (coldly):
"How many do you need for your army?"
Zarek:
"Three hundred… maybe five.
But we aim for quality.
Each one will be worth a full army."
Reinhardt (dark voice):
"Then let the world burn."

[Scene 2 | Avalon Academy – Hayashi's Room]
Hayashi is meditating deep within the system interface.
System Prompt:
> "Skill Tree Unlocked: Tactical Combat + Memory Reading (Lv.3.9)"
"New Passive Feature: Emotion Read"
"Level Up! Current Level: 17 → 22"
"New Skill Gained: Elemental Cloak – Wind Variant"
Green wind-like energy wraps around Hayashi's body — a cloak of moving air.
He opens his eyes, a subtle smirk on his lips.
Hayashi:
"Zarek… I'm coming for you."

[Scene 3 | Demon Outpost – Border of Zenithra]
Zarek and Reinhardt are in a hidden war outpost near the Zenithra border.
Zarek:
"There's a demon unlike any other…
Top Rank #1.
Even saying his name is forbidden."
Zarek:
"We've made contact.
And he… sent us a gift."
From a swirling shadow, a massive, horned figure emerges — towering, wreathed in black flame.
The outpost shakes under his aura.
Reinhardt (calmly):
"Perfect.
Avalon ready or not… we are."

[Scene 4 | Avalon Academy – Strategic Meeting]
Team leaders gather: Iris, Victoria, Sylvia, Freyya, and Kael.
Hayashi (focused):
"Demons aren't just brute beasts anymore.
They're coordinated — someone's pulling the strings."
Kael:
"A new general?"
Hayashi:
"Or maybe… an old ally turned enemy."
The group agrees to form a scout division to investigate demon activity near Zenithra.

[Ending Scene – Dual Dialogues: War Ignites]
Zarek (to the hybrid soldier):
"Everything is about to burn.
And you… will be the first flame."
Hayashi (to the system):
"Prepare system override.
Next upgrade: God Tier Reflex Mode – Lock In."
Thunder cracks. A storm brews over Avalon…
