Chapter 1 - Chapter 1:—The Weakest Student of Aetherion Academy

Wide shot of a grand academy floating above clouds — towers glowing with mana.

Narration:> Aetherion Academy — the place where the strongest awaken… and the weak disappear.

Classroom filled with glowing magic circles. Students show off their mana colors — red, blue, gold…

Instructor:> "Next! Hamza, your turn to measure your mana.

A silent boy with messy black hair steps forward. His eyes are dull gray.

Student (whispering):

> "That's the village kid, right? I bet his mana's zero."

Another:"He shouldn't even be here."

Hamza touches the crystal. The mana stone stays dark — no glow at all.

Crowd:> "Pfft— HAHAHA!"

Instructor (sighs):"No mana response… you're dismissed."

Hamza quietly turns away, eyes calm but distant.

Hamza (thinking):> "Still can't release even a drop without breaking it…"

[In Night]

Hamza stands alone in a forest outside the academy, moonlight shining through trees.

Hamza:> "Let's test it... just a little."

He raises his hand — the air bends, trees sway violently, the ground cracks.

: BOOOOM

Narration:> The power he hides... could erase kingdoms.

Hamza clenches his fist, resealing the power.

Hamza (smiling slightly):> "Still too much. Can't let anyone know… yet."

[Next Morning]Students chatting in courtyard.

Girl 1:> "Did you hear? Someone blew half the forest last night!"

Girl 2:"Probably an upper-year. No way it was anyone from Class F."

Hamza walks by silently.

Zoom on his eyes — calm, unreadable.

Narration:> The weakest student…

Or maybe the most dangerous one.
