[EXT. STADIUM OF THE SIX REALMS – MORNING]
The sky blazed with divine banners.
A coliseum carved from interrealm crystal towered above clouds, pulsing with power drawn from all six divine realms. Floating platforms rotated in lazy orbits, layered with crowds.
Today was the day.
A total of 110 students, handpicked from the six Divine Schools, stood ready to enter history.
---
Crowds roared from the floating stands — thousands of students from every divine school had arrived to witness it.
Light School students chanted Lyrion's name.
Time School students cheered for Veloria.
Others screamed the names of legends in the making — Kairo, Syleria, Aria, Ray, and more.
---
Above it all, six elevated thrones shimmered with celestial presence.
Each one housed a godly couple — watching with quiet pride, curiosity, or calculation:
Alarion and Lyria — Light
Aion and Aestra — Time
Serai and Vaelum — Space
Valera and Kaion — Elements
Liora and Kaelith — Living Creation
Drenas and Sylra — Nonliving Creation
Their divine eyes missed nothing.

[INT. STADIUM CENTER – STUDENT ENTRANCE]
A grand marble gate parted.
All 110 competitors began entering.
Lyrion walked at the front, flanked by Veloria and Ray.
Behind them came the rest of the Light School team — all ten elite students moving like a unit forged from trust and trial.
From the other gates, the other schools entered with their banners raised high.
Cheers thundered like storms.

[STADIUM PLATFORM – ANNOUNCER'S ARRIVAL]
A tall figure cloaked in glowing silver stepped to the center of the arena. His voice echoed without need of amplification.
> Announcer:
"Welcome, champions of the six Divine Schools."
> "The Divine School Tournament begins today."
> "This tournament will consist of three rounds."
> "Each round will test not only your strength, but your leadership, adaptability, and resolve."
---
[ROUND ONE: GROUP COMPETITION ANNOUNCEMENT]
> Announcer (raising hand):
"The first round shall be a Group Competition, held within an Illusion World."
A murmuring wave passed through the crowd.
> "Each team must consist of at least 6 students, and no more than 12."
> "You may form teams across schools, if you wish. Alliances and rivalries alike are allowed."
> "The Illusion World is designed to simulate true combat."
> "If a participant dies within the illusion, they are eliminated."
Gasps followed — not out of fear, but excitement.
> "The round will end when only 60 students remain."
> "Survive, adapt… or vanish."

[INT. OBSERVATION DECK – GODS' BALCONY]
The divine couples watched in silence.
> Aion (Time God, softly):
"They'll soon understand the weight of legacy."
> Kaelith (Nonliving Creation God):
"And the burden of expectation."

[INT. SHADOW BALCONY – ZYREN ARRIVES]
At the highest edge of the stadium — cloaked in divine shielding, unseen by most — Zyren stepped forward.
Behind him stood his four generals:
Silent Death
Veydrin
Nyxara
Cinderbane
Their presence bent the air.
> Zyren (smirking):
"So… these are the heirs?"
He folded his arms.
> "Let's see what they've learned.
And how they break."
