Kairo's Training Begins – The Path to Vengeance!
Kairo stood before the village's training ground.
His body was still weak from the loss.
His mind, however—was sharper than ever.
The elders watched him with serious expressions.
"You wish to hunt down Raizen?" Elder Satoru asked.
Kairo nodded.
"Then you must surpass him."
Satoru gestured to a mysterious figure stepping forward.
An old man, covered in battle scars, with a presence so fierce the air felt heavier.
"This is Master Renji."
Renji stared at Kairo.
"You want power?"
Kairo nodded again.
Renji's lips curled into a smirk.
"Then you'll have to earn it."

Raizen's Descent – A New Master!
Far away from the village, Raizen walked into the dark mountains.
The air was filled with death.
Thunder rumbled in the sky.
Before him stood a massive fortress, hidden deep in the wilderness.
A voice echoed from the shadows.
"So, the outcast arrives."
A man stepped forward.
His aura was suffocating.
His eyes glowed red.
"I am Lord Varun," he said. "And I will give you the power to destroy everything."
Raizen grinned.
"This is exactly what I was looking for."

Kairo's First Test – Mastering the Phoenix's Power!
Back in the village, Master Renji wasted no time.
"Unleash your Phoenix Transformation."
Kairo focused his energy.
His body began to shift.
Flames surrounded him. His eyes burned golden.
Wings of fire erupted from his back.
His power surged.
But then—
The transformation flickered.
The flames sputtered out.
Kairo collapsed. Breathing heavily.
Master Renji shook his head.
"Not good enough."
Kairo gritted his teeth.
"I'll do it again."
Renji smirked.
"That's the spirit."

Raizen's First Lesson – The Darkness Within!
Inside the fortress, Lord Varun led Raizen into an underground chamber.
Massive chains hung from the ceiling.
A monstrous creature roared in the darkness.
"You seek power?" Lord Varun asked.
Raizen nodded.
"Then conquer this beast."
A shadow beast emerged, its red eyes glowing with malice.
Raizen smirked.
Thunder crackled around him.
His transformation began to take form.
But unlike Kairo—
His aura was different.
Darker.
The Thunder Wolf howled within him.
And the battle began.
