Scene opens with Yooha training alone under the moonlight. She's practicing a technique called Silent Spiral, a divine move meant only for elite Ghost Gordon disciples.
Except—she was expelled.
> Xie Luan (watching): "You're still using their techniques?"
Yooha (coldly): "No. I'm perfecting them."
Suddenly, the moon turns red.
Elsewhere, Jin is with Bo Lang and the rest, messing around with joke bombs when he feels a sharp pull in his chest.
> Jin (confused): "Did I just... forget my own birthday?"
They rush outside—clouds swirling, wind shrieking.
From the sky, a ghostly figure descends.
Wearing the Ghost Gordon crest.
> "Shen Yooha… your expulsion was temporary.
But your punishment begins now."
The sky cracks open.
Red moonlight forms a battlefield circle around Yooha.
Jin arrives too late.
He shouts—but can't break the circle.
> Yooha (eyes glowing): "Don't interfere, Jin. I'll handle them.
They taught me rage. I'll teach them regret."
Battle begins: Yooha vs. Ghost Gordon Envoy
She dodges with terrifying grace.
Her Silent Veil glows black instead of white.
At one point, she nearly loses control—but hears Jin yelling:
> "Yooha! Don't let them decide your worth!"
That steadies her. She wins.
The envoy vanishes, but leaves a seal behind. A black phoenix mark appears on Yooha's back.
Aftermath:
Back at the dorms, everyone stares at her.
> Bo: "So… who exactly are you?"
Yooha (quietly): "A mistake they couldn't kill."
Jin writes in his journal:
> She's bleeding again. Not her body—her soul.
I want to reach her. But I'm afraid…
What if she never lets anyone in?
