Scene 1: After the Gate
(The sun sets behind the now-collapsing dungeon gate. Agilan, Vinod, and Shalini walk back through the quiet, dusty construction site. People murmur in awe, staring at the trio like survivors from another world.)
Shalini (still shaken):
"Agilan... you didn't even hesitate. You just walked in… like it was nothing."
Vinod (whistling dramatically):
"Walked in? He devoured that dungeon. Those Korean hunters were barely standing, and this guy—"
(throws a playful punch)
"—turns everything into minced meat."
Agilan (calmly, but eyes intense):
"I wasn't being brave. The system wanted me to go."
Shalini (concerned):
"And now? What else is the system telling you?"
(Agilan doesn't answer. His system interface lights up in his vision.)

Scene 3: Razor Wind Trial
(Agilan stops walking. He looks to the side and sees a large tree on the construction site edge. His hand flexes.)
Agilan (to himself):
"Let's test this."
(He unsheathes his claw. It glows faintly blue. With a swift horizontal slash in the air—FWOOOSH!—a visible arc of air pressure slices forward. The tree is cut cleanly, not even falling until a second later.)
THUMP.
Vinod (mouth wide open):
"HOLY— Did you just slice the wind?!"
Shalini (stepping back):
"That wasn't even close to the tree…"
(Agilan stares at his claw, breathing heavily.)
Agilan (softly):
"This… isn't normal. The system says I'm… SSS-Class."
Vinod (instantly freezes):
"Triple S?"
Agilan:
"Yeah. I didn't even know it existed."
Vinod (shouting):
"NOT EVEN THE WORLD HUNTERS HAVE TRIPLE-S RANKS! Bro, you're— you're beyond EX-rank, beyond legends—you're a walking nuclear monster!"
Shalini (gently):
"That's why the system needed you… You're something else, Agilan."
(Agilan clenches his claw hand, then deactivates it. His expression is conflicted — caught between fear and responsibility.)
Agilan (thinking):
"Why me…? What's coming?"
(The wind picks up slightly, and the three of them stand silently, the magnitude of the moment settling in.)
