Chapter 7 — Three Years of Growth and the Void Seraph
Three years had passed since Kurafuto completed his first five Zoids and revealed the Gemstone system. Now age 24, he stood atop Wave's castle balcony, overlooking a city transformed into a living fortress. Zoids patrolled land, sky, and sea; Trainers moved confidently among them, practicing mimicry, partial transformations, and preparing for man-beast form.
Drago, once Genin-level, now radiated Kage-level power, wings flexing as he circled the skies. Beside Himeko, her Reptile Zoid Azure coiled protectively, tail flicking with alert precision.
Kurafuto's ten Zoids — each scaled to his power — were assembled in formation:
1. Drago — Western Dragon, Kage-level, wind and fire elemental attacks.
2. Quartos — Four-Headed Guardian, Jōnin-level, splits into four independent units.
3. Subtera — Tunnel Devourer, Jōnin-level, excels underground.
4. Hydranoid — Land/Water Serpent, adaptable, Chūnin-level.
5. Fifth Zoid — Land/Sea/Air Hybrid, versatile, Genin-level.
6. Stormbreaker — Thunderbird, lightning and wind attacks, Chūnin-level.
7. Terra Titan — Colossal Land Zoid, earth manipulation, Hashirama-level.
8. Abyssal Leviathan — Giant Aquatic Zoid, tidal waves, Jōnin-level.
9. Pyroclast Dragon — Volcanic Dragon, molten attacks, Chūnin-level.
10. Void Seraph — Shadow-Light Hybrid, stealth, energy blades, Genin-level at creation.

Void Seraph's Introduction
Kurafuto raised his hands, shaping chakra into Void Seraph's sleek black form, silver lines pulsing with energy. Her segmented wings flexed, claws gleaming, and tail twitching with agility.
> "With Void Seraph," Kurafuto said, "Wave gains an unseen guardian, capable of stealth, reconnaissance, and precision strikes. She will challenge our Trainers to adapt to unpredictable threats."
Void Seraph's abilities included:
Shadow Cloak: Near invisibility in darkness or terrain.
Light Piercer: Concentrated energy beams from wings and eyes.
Phase Shift: Partial phasing through objects for ambush or evasion.
Extreme Agility: Rapid flight and movement across land, air, or water.

Ultimate Man-Beast Form Demonstration
Kurafuto called forth the Trainers. One by one, they merged with their bonded Zoids:
Man-beast form: humanoid Zoid features — claws, tails, wings, scales — integrated with human body.
Ultimate man-beast form: same humanoid Zoid base, encased in shining armor, representing peak mastery and synchronization.
Himeko and Azure demonstrated flawlessly. Himeko's partial transformations — claws, tail, scales — quickly evolved into full armored ultimate man-beast form, mirroring Azure.
Trainers bonded to Drago, Terra Titan, and Stormbreaker followed, demonstrating agility, strength, and elemental control. Void Seraph swooped silently above, shadow-blending with the environment, testing Trainers' reactions.
> "Ultimate man-beast form is the peak of bond," Kurafuto declared. "Only with complete mastery, trust, and synchronization can a Trainer achieve this level. Void Seraph is a test — she moves like a shadow, strikes like light. Adapt, or be left behind."

Discovery of Reproduction
Observing Drago and a female dragon-type Zoid, Kurafuto realized they were mating, producing an egg.
> "Zoids… can reproduce," he whispered. "Life is not limited to creation alone. Their offspring inherit traits, elemental abilities, and loyalty. Wave's strength will grow naturally."
Himeko looked on, Azure coiling protectively. Kurafuto made a note: future Trainers would be able to raise Zoid offspring, further expanding Wave's living army.

Trainer Rank Expansion
Over three years, Kurafuto formalized Trainer ranks:
1. Genin: Bond one Zoid, partial mimicry.
2. Chūnin: Multiple Zoids, basic man-beast form.
3. Jōnin: Advanced elemental control, full man-beast form.
4. Kage: Ultimate man-beast form, leadership of multiple Zoids.
5. Elite Council: Trainers bonded to Hashirama-level Zoids, capable of defending Wave from massive threats.
> "Only those truly bonded and trained may wield a Zoid," Kurafuto said. "The nation's defense depends on the bond between Trainer and Zoid, and our ability to grow and adapt together."

A New Era at 24
At age 24, Kurafuto surveyed his city with pride. Zoids roamed freely, Trainers practiced ultimate man-beast form, and Void Seraph moved silently among them, testing coordination and agility.
Drago flexed wings, showing his Kage-level might.
Azure coiled protectively around Himeko.
The newly created Zoids shimmered in combat-ready forms.
Trainers in ultimate man-beast forms demonstrated armored, humanoid Zoid forms, each a testament to mastery.
> "Wave is no longer just a city," Kurafuto murmured. "It is a nation of life, power, and unmatched strength. Zoids, Trainers, and their offspring… this is the future. And we are only beginning to explore its potential."
Void Seraph swooped above, wings shimmering in shadow and light, a silent promise that Wave's defense and reconnaissance had reached unprecedented heights.

If you want, the next chapter can focus on mass deployment of Trainers and Zoids outside Wave, showcasing offspring in combat, and introducing potential threats to test Wave's new military and Trainer system.
