🌀 Opening Scene – Freshman Locker RoomThe sound of dripping water. A silent locker room.The camera focuses on Inavy Stormbreak, alone, in a training stance.
Sweat runs down his determined face.He holds out an open hand, concentrating unstable crimson lightning dancing in the air.
Inavy (whispering):"Thunder Spear... still can't fully stabilize it. But I'm getting there, Dad."
He forms a spear of pure electricity, but the lightning flares up and bursts uncontrollably.He takes a deep breath, eyes still closed.
Footsteps approach...
Kelvin Nox, last year's Freshman of the Year, enters the locker room. Calm eyes, but firm.He watches Inavy in silence for a few seconds.
Kelvin:"Yo... Stormbreak."
Inavy (turning with a tired smile):"Kelvin! Man, I told you, call me Inavy. Only reporters and Teachers call me that."
Kelvin (crossing his arms):"I came to find you for a reason... I want to see you in the finals. Don't disappoint."
Inavy (confident):"Count on it. Just wait for me up there."
Kelvin (with a slight smile):"I'm already warming up."
They share a serious look. The tension is friendly — but real.
