Phantom Ashes – Episode 3
Scene 1: "The First Step Inside"
Setting: Inside the Phantom Guild Association building, ground floor lobby.
Ren enters the building — a wide, modern lobby with shining floors and grand design.
Narration:
Ren saw the inside of the Phantom Guild Association for the first time.
An elegant-looking gentleman in a black suit stands near a desk.
Ren:
"Excuse me sir! I've come for training."
The gentleman smiles politely and looks at Ren.
Gentleman:
"You need to go to the 6th floor. You'll get all the instructions there."
Ren enters the elevator with an excited expression and presses the button.
SFX: Ding!
The elevator opens, and Ren steps out onto the 6th floor — a stylish reception desk is visible.
Narration:
Ren's first step to the doors of training.
Ren asks the receptionist — in the background, the Phantom Guild logo is visible.
Ren:
"Hi! I've come for training, what should I do?"
The receptionist smiles and points to a door.
Receptionist:
"You just have to enter that room ahead. Good luck!"
Ren walks toward the door with a determined face.
Ren (thinking):
"This is the beginning… let's do this!"
Scene 2: Meeting the Fated Friend
Setting: Training prep room inside Phantom Guild — clean, bright, with digital screens and signs.
Ren enters the room. A boy is sitting there in a relaxed pose.
Narration:
There were 66 trainees in Phantom Guild today… including Ren and Zeno.
Ren steps forward with a cautious but friendly expression.
Ren:
"Hey! I'm Ren… looks like we're both here for training?"
The boy smiles and extends his hand.
Zeno:
"Nice to meet you. I'm Zeno."
They shake hands — the background softens slightly.
Narration:
This was the first meeting of two friends… whose destinies were tied together.
Ren sits casually next to Zeno. They chat light-heartedly.
Ren:
"So… where are you from?"
Zeno (smiling, avoiding details):
"Just… a small place. And you?"
Ren:
"Me too… from a small town. My grandfather and father were fighters here."
Zeno's eyes show a slight shadow, but he keeps smiling.
Narration (Zeno's thoughts):
"I'm from an assassin family… but not yet… not time to tell him yet."
The door opens, and a large hall is seen ahead where trainees are gathering.
Narration:
66 trainees… ready to clash with their destiny.
Suddenly, a digital screen turns on with an announcement.
Screen:
"Welcome Trainees. Your evaluation begins shortly."
Ren and Zeno look at the screen with determination.
Ren (excited):
"Let's do this!"
Zeno (calm):
"Yes."
Scene 3: The Announcement
Setting: Large training hall, all 66 trainees gathered and standing in rows.
Mr. Rael stands on stage with a microphone in hand.
Mr. Rael:
"Welcome, trainees. You will all take an entrance test."
Close-up of Mr. Rael, serious tone.
Mr. Rael:
"If you pass it, there will be three more tests afterward."
All trainees look tense and alert.
Mr. Rael:
"Then your official training will begin."
Ren and Zeno look at each other, excited and determined.
Ren:
"This is going to be fun!"
Zeno:
"Yeah, finally a challenge."
Mr. Rael gives a signal. Trainees stand in ready positions.
Narration:
The real battle at Phantom Guild was about to begin.
Scene 4: The Challenge
Setting: Training hall, trainees warming up and preparing.
A tall trainee, around 26 years old, walks up to Ren and Zeno with a teasing smirk.
Trainee (teasing):
"Hey, you kids! You don't belong here. You should go home and play, not train."
Ren looks at him angrily.
Zeno looks at the trainee calmly, with a challenging expression.
Zeno:
"Let's see who leaves first — us or you. I challenge you!"
The trainee is slightly surprised, then smiles confidently.
Trainee:
"That's what I wanted to hear. Get ready!"
Ren and Zeno get into ready stances, both determined.
Narration:
The real competition was about to begin.
Scene 5: Strategy & Insight
Setting: Training hall, Ren and Zeno stepping aside after the challenge is issued.
Ren looks at Zeno with curiosity and slight concern.
Ren:
"Why did you challenge that trainee? Did you already know what he was planning?"
Zeno smirks slightly, confident.
Zeno:
"Just wanted to see what his attitude was like. And to know how ready we are."
Ren nods, understanding Zeno's thinking.
Ren:
"Oh great, let's see what happens."
