The simulation gates opened again.
Dren Havel—known by most as Sightpiercer—stepped into the arena.
His visor glowed faintly as it adjusted to the light.
He moved slowly, carefully. No rush. No wasted steps.
Above, a soft voice echoed.
[Phase Start – Group Clash Simulation]
The arena shifted.
Stone pillars rose from the ground.
Rune symbols lit up. Heat vents began releasing smoke along the floor.
Six flame-themed enemies appeared around him.
One Ember Reaver, two Pyro Fist Monks, one Ashen Conduit, and two flying drones.
Dren didn't draw his rifle yet.
Instead, he crouched and let his visor scan the area.
He tapped once on the side of the scope.
[Marked Sight]
A faint line appeared—only visible to him—tracing directly to the Reaver's weak point.
His eyes narrowed.
He fired once.
The Reaver dropped before it took a step.
The drones reacted immediately. They zipped toward him in a wide arc.
Dren didn't move from his crouch.
He calmly fired a second shot.
