Alarm sounded across the academy.
"Emergency!"
Students panicked.
Karam stood outside.
"They've started."
The sky darkened.
From the shadows—
Enemies emerged.
Not normal students.
Elites. Hunters. Observers.
"Capture Subject Karam."
Karam didn't move.
"Come."
Battle erupted.
Explosions.
Cracks.
Destruction.
Karam fought them all.
But this time—
He felt it.
Pain.
"...Good."
⚡ [End – real battle begins]
