Chapter 5 - Chapitre 4 — Une nouvelle ère

[Slayer University — Class Assignment Hall]

(After the end of the simulations, all students gathered inside the academy's colossal amphitheater.)

(Holographic panels projected the assignment results.)

University President:— You have crossed an important milestone.But know this: that was merely the beginning.

— From today, you will be divided according to your aptitude, your performance...And, for some, according to parameters you yourselves might not even understand.

(The atmosphere grows heavier.)

---

[Class Announcements]

(Hundreds of names scroll down the screens.)

Classes F to B: the majority.

Class A: recognized talents.

Class S: elite among elites.

Class SS: extremely rare prodigies.

---

University President:— And finally…

(The room holds its breath.)

— An experimental category: Special Anomalous Class.

— A select group of 11 students, gathered not because of their grades… but because they cannot be classified by any known standards.

---

[Reactions — Whispers spread]

Student A:— Special class? What the hell?

Student B:— You think they're too broken for normal rankings?

Student C:— Or just too unstable...

---

[Screen — Key student assignments]

Milim Stigner → SS Class

Douriel Kinés → SS Class

Diopha Hitari → Special Anomalous Class

(The rest of the Special Class members remain unknown for now.)

---

[Reactions — Milim and Douriel]

Douriel (laughing softly):— SS, huh… Not bad at all!

Milim (crossing her arms, serious):— It's good enough... for now.

(They both glance briefly at Diopha, curiosity flickering in their eyes.)

---

[Diopha's side]

Diopha (thinking):Special class, huh?Sounds cool…But mostly suspicious.

(Mini-Zenkai floats casually near his shoulder, laughing telepathically.)

Mini-Zenkai:— Hmph. It's only natural.The weak follow rules.The strong break them.

Diopha (thinking, sighing internally):He's not wrong, Sensei...But damn, I'd rather break something else than the isolation record.

---

[Transition — First gathering of the Special Class members]

(In a sealed-off, enormous training hall, reserved solely for the 11 special students.)

(They observe each other, cautious, alert.)

Some radiate a chilling, overwhelming calm.

Others seem arrogantly aloof.

And a few… simply don't seem to realize the gravity of the situation.

(No powers are revealed yet — everything remains shrouded in mystery.)

---

Special Instructor (stepping forward with heavy authority):— You are here because you don't fit into any known category.Your potential… is both immense and dangerous.

— Know this:Here, any sign of weakness… will be punished immediately.

(The atmosphere drops into an icy silence.)

---

[Diopha (thinking)]

Eleven students…Eleven anomalies.And me, stuck right in the middle.

(But deep inside, a fire ignites.)

Diopha (thinking):No matter the risks…I will grow stronger.At the summit, there's only room for those who dare to climb.
