Chapter:5.1-Breaking Limits Already?

Chapter 5 (Continued): Breaking Limits

(Kael, Hong Sun, and Elyse continue their brutal training. The sun rises and sets, yet their sparring doesn't stop. Each day pushes them further—faster reactions, harder strikes, no wasted movements. Every mistake is punished, every weakness exposed.)

(Hong Sun struggles with endurance. Elyse is too fast. And Kael—Kael is beginning to change. His movements are sharper, more instinctual. Something inside him is waking up.)

Scene: Kael's Focus Slips

(Elyse and Kael stand across from each other, both breathing heavily. The clash has been relentless. Elyse wipes sweat from her forehead, smirking.)

Elyse (mocking): "What's wrong, Kael? Already tired?"

Kael (rolling his shoulders): "Not even close."

(They charge at each other. Kael's blade moves faster than before, his strikes heavier. But something is… off. His attacks become more aggressive—less controlled. His eyes flicker with something different.)

(At first, Elyse grins, thinking he's finally taking the fight seriously—until she realizes he's not holding back at all. She parries a blow, but the force behind it nearly cracks her sword.)

Elyse (thinking): "What the hell—? That was way too strong!"

(Kael doesn't stop. His aura starts to shift—growing unstable. His attacks become unpredictable, almost feral.)

(Hong Sun, watching from the side, suddenly feels it—Kael's presence is changing. A pressure starts pressing down on him, similar to what they felt from the Ghost Knight.)

Hong Sun (wide-eyed): "Kael! Stop!"

(But Kael doesn't hear him. He's too deep in his own head—flashes of battle, of the warlord, of the Ghost Knight flood his mind. His instincts scream at him to destroy whatever stands in his way.)

(His next strike is aimed directly at Elyse's neck. She barely dodges, her expression turning serious.)

Elyse (shouting): "Kael, snap out of it!"

(But he doesn't.)

(Seeing no other choice, Elyse moves. With lightning speed, she twists around him, lands a solid kick to his stomach, and knocks him backward. He skids across the dirt, snapping out of his trance.)

(Kael blinks, realizing what just happened. The training ground is silent. He looks at Elyse—she's breathing heavily, still holding her sword defensively.)

Kael (voice low): "I… almost—"

(Hong Sun rushes over, his expression serious.)

Hong Sun: "Kael. What the hell was that?"

(Kael looks down at his hands, still gripping his sword. They're trembling. He felt it—for a moment, he lost control. And deep inside, something had felt… right. Like a part of him had been waiting for that moment.)

(Elyse exhales sharply before smirking.)

Elyse: "Well. That was new."

(Her voice is light, but there's caution in her eyes. She saw it too. Whatever is happening to Kael—it's dangerous.)

(The Dark Knight, still watching from the shadows, narrows his eyes. He's seen this before. Kael's awakening has already begun. And if the boy doesn't control it soon… it might consume him.)

(The chapter ends with Kael standing in the training grounds, breathing heavily, gripping his sword—not in exhaustion, but in fear.)
