Chapter 5 - ones more time

šŸ›ļø [Scene 1 – Next Morning: Silent Storm in the Investigation Room]

Cold morning in the academy,

Tension is all around.

Principal Vardhan sits in the interrogation room again —

This time, not a student… Master Rudhva has been called.

The door opens slowly —

Master Rudhva comes in.

His eyes are heavy.

His face is calm, but full of pain.

He speaks without looking up:

> "I have been serving in this academy for 12 years..."

"Protected every soul, caught every lie..."

"But today… for the first time my own soul is being doubted."

The room is completely silent.

---

🧠 [Scene 2 – Ravik's Silent Smile]

Ravik is sitting in a corner.

His face is expressionless – but there is a slow, cold smile in the corner of his lips.

His inner voice:

> "The False Memory Parasite has started to take effect…"

"Now Rudhva himself doesn't know – what is real, and what I have put…"

---

šŸ’€ [Scene 3 – Principal's question and Rudhva's confusion]

Principal:

> "Master Rudhva, did you kill those students?"

Rudhva goes silent.

Something changes in his eyes –

Confusion for a second… then guilt.

> "I… I don't know…"

"Sometimes I feel… I did something wrong…"

"But the memories are blurred… I can't see anything…"

The bell doesn't ring – there is no lie in the soul…

But there is no loyalty either.

---

😨 [Scene 4 – Whispering of students and Ravik's Twist]

Students start to stir:

> "Is Rudhva really guilty?"

"He was never like this…"

Ravik then stands up.

> "Can I say something?"

Principal gestures – "Say it…"

Ravik says:

> "Ever since I stepped into the academy, I have seen Master Rudhva…"

"Like an ideal teacher. But his behavior has changed in the last few days."

> "Seen wandering at night… muttering strange mantras… and now losing memories too?"

> "Is this a soul-based disease? Or… has someone targeted him?"

--

🧠 [Scene 5 – TWIST: Ravik Turns the Table Again]

Principal and other teachers are shocked by Ravik's words.

Ravik further says:

> "Maybe Master Rudhva is not guilty…"

"Maybe there is a third hunter who is playing from both sides…"

"And that hunter has poisoned Master Rudhva's soul."

Everyone is now confused.

> "If Ravik is also speaking in favor of Rudhva… then who is the real killer?"

Ravik thinks in his mind:

> "And now I have made them pawns again…"

---

šŸ [Scene 6 – Rudhva breaks down and Ravik's look]

Rudhva holds his head.

> "Is something happening to me…? Am I a victim of someone else's trick?"

A deep expression in Ravik's eyes –

Neither pity, nor anger… only calculation.

---

šŸŽÆ [Scene 7 – Final Blow by Ravik]

Ravik says softly:

> "Principal, I request that Master Rudhva's soul be cleansed..."

"Because this could be an attack on the academy... from within!"

Principal nods:

> "Prepare the Soul Cleanse Ritual…"

Cut scene — Rudhva is taken out, confused and broken.

---

ā™Ÿļø [Scene 8 – Ravik's dialogue (Chapter End)]

Ravik sits alone, moves his chess piece and thinks:

> "I made him guilty..."

"Then made him innocent..."

"Now he himself doesn't know what he is."

> "Mindgames aren't won by moves... they're won by believe

– The Gate of Destiny and the Sacrifice of Seven Souls

---

🧠 [Scene 1 – Proven innocent, but now the real game begins]

After all the previous events and a tangled web of clues,

Ravik Suthar has been cleared of all suspicion of murder.

Principal Vardhan announces to everyone with a heavy heart:

> "Ravik is innocent."

Students silent.

Teacher confused.

A slow, victorious smile on Ravik's lips.

> "Now... it's time to go to the real door."

---

🚪 [Scene 2 – Facing the Gate: Destiny Gate]**

Nighttime.

Lightning flashes in the distant sky.

Ravik stands alone in an ancient ruin —

where he comes across the "Destiny Gate" for the first time.

The door is no ordinary door.

Surrounded by black smoke, outlined by blood.

The small skeleton head in the middle suddenly springs to life — blue fire burning in its eyes.

> Skeleton Head:

"Welcome… seeker of control. This is the Door of Destiny."

Ravik is absolutely quiet.

Then asks:

> "How do I open it?"

Skeleton Head (whispers softly):

> "Seven student souls. All must willingly or forcefully… feed me."

Ravik is startled for a moment.

Then… smiles.

> "Seven student souls..."

"...mere paas hain."

---

šŸŒ„ [Scene 3 – Next morning: Storm in the academy]**

The next morning.

There is chaos in the academy grounds.

Seven students are found dead.

Their bodies are entangled in the trees in the forest of the academy – as if someone has pulled the soul and thrown it up.

Every student has the same expression on his face – fear.

> "This soul has not burned… this soul has been pulled…" – Master Viranth whispers.

---

šŸ‘Øā€šŸ‘©ā€šŸ‘§ā€šŸ‘¦ [Scene 4 – Pressure from parents and society]

Now the scene changes –

Angry parents are gathered in front of the academy.

Seven families are crying.

Pain in their eyes… and questions.

> "We want answers for the death of our children!"

"This academy is no longer safe!"

"We want an investigation by the City Investigator!"

Principal Vardhan is standing silently.

He is breaking from within.

---

🧿 [Scene 5 – Ravik's 'innocent' smile and Principal's gaze]

The Principal's gaze falls on Ravik in the crowd –

He is standing some distance away, alone… but with a dry, steady smile in his eyes.

The Principal thinks to himself:

> "Ravik… no one is saying anything to you…"

"But your smile is your crime…"

"You have done this… I know…"

Ravik puts his palms in his pockets and slowly walks away.

---

šŸŽÆ [Scene 6 – The final blow: Demand for City Investigator]

Suddenly, a father climbs up on the stage:

> "I officially request to call the City Investigator!"

"This academy is no longer safe for any child!"

The Principal bows his head.

> "Now Ravik's game is not alone…"

"Now he has the whole system in front of him."

---

😈 [Scene 7 – Ravik thinks alone (Chapter End)]

Night.

Ravik is standing near the Destiny Gate.

Seven souls are seen burning in front of the gate –

Each soul is entering the gate with an agonized scream.

Skeleton Head:

> **"Six have entered… one more…"

"…and you may step into destiny."

Ravik smiles:

> "The path I have chosen… there is no place for emotions in it."
