Ren Shiken, a spirited and energetic teen, wakes up to a life-changing day—his departure to the mysterious Phantom Guild. Though young and carefree, Ren carries the legacy of his father and grandfather, legendary fighters who once trained there. As he bids an emotional farewell to his mother and grandmother, his journey toward strength, honor, and destiny begins. With hope in his eyes and determination in his heart, Ren takes flight—unaware of the trials waiting ahead.

PHANTOM ASHES

Scene 1 – Guild Grounds | Evening | Friendly Time

(The sun sets over the training grounds. A soft golden hue covers the field. Ren and Zeno are kicking a ball back and forth, laughing.)

Fynn (walking up with Lyra):

"Yo, champs! How was your first junior class?"

Zeno (stretching, proud):

"It went great! I could actually feel the energy flowing... it was a whole different experience."

Ren (rubbing his neck):

"It was good for me too... but I just couldn't focus. I don't know why. I'll try harder next time."

Fynn (patting Ren on the back):

"No worries, Ren. Even Emi couldn't focus the first time. You'll get it."

Ren (smiling lightly):

Lyra (grinning teasingly):

"By the way… did you guys hear? Fynn lost his practice match today."

(Ren and Zeno instantly look at Fynn, surprised, then start chuckling.)

Ren & Zeno (together):

"No worries, Fynn… wins and losses are part of it!"

Fynn (grumbling, muttering):

"Who even told her to say that… I walked straight into that one."

Ren (jokingly):

"Maybe it was your Yugan whispering… 'I want to lose!'"

(Everyone bursts out laughing. The scene closes with their cheerful laughter and the orange glow of dusk.)

Scene 2 – Kaen Voss's Office | Strategic Discussion

(A dim room lit by glowing aura lamps. Kaen Voss sits at his desk, Damien Cross and Mr. Rael standing before him.)

Kaen Voss (calm but firm):

"Damien… now you need to focus on the trainees who are struggling. Like Ren. You'll need to get inside his mind — figure out why he's unable to focus."

Mr. Rael (nodding):

"I agree. It's important to identify these things early."

Damien Cross (serious tone):

"Understood, sir… but what about the practice matches? Who's going to oversee them?"

Kaen Voss (assuredly):

"Mr. Rael will handle that. Don't worry about it."

Mr. Rael (confidently):

(Damien nods and quietly leaves the office.)

Kaen Voss (to Mr. Rael):

"For the next three months, Mr. Kael will train the new candidates until they're ready to be junior trainees. Until then, monitor all practice matches closely."

Mr. Rael (slightly bows):

(Mr. Rael exits. The office grows quiet once again.)

Scene 3 – Damien's Room & Trainees' Dorm | Night

(Damien Cross stands at his window, looking out at the moonlit guild grounds. His eyes are sharp and thoughtful.)

Damien Cross (thinking):

"I need to teach Ren how to focus… and fast."

(Scene shifts to Ren, Zeno, and Fynn hanging out in their dorm room. They're sitting on the floor, chatting excitedly.)

Zeno (curious):

"Hey Fynn… what kind of Yugan do you have?"

Fynn (grinning proudly):

"I'm a Forger. My Yugan is Sōrin — I can create aura-based constructs."

Ren (eyes lighting up):

"Can you show us something with your Yugan?"

(Fynn stands, brings his hands together, and closes his eyes. A soft wind begins to swirl around the room.)

(Suddenly, Ren and Zeno feel a light breeze lifting around them. They look up —)

Ren (thinking, stunned):

"Wait… are we inside a wind sphere?!"

"This is awesome! A real wind construct!"

(Fynn lowers his hands, and the swirling wind fades away.)

Fynn (smiling):

Zeno (excited):

"Epic! That was seriously impressive."

Ren (in awe):

"Incredible… hard to believe we'll be able to do things like that too someday."

Zeno (jokingly):

"At this rate, Fynn's gonna build himself a wind mansion!"

(They all burst into laughter. The warm glow from the window falls across their faces as the camera slowly fades upward to the starry sky.)

Scene fades out…
