Chapter 4 - The Smile of the Snake and the Trap of the Hunter

🧠 [Scene 1 – Ravik's Suspicion: This Teacher is Not Normal]

At night, Ravik is sitting alone in his room.

In front of him is the same glowing Soul Fragment that has worsened his condition.

> "The clue that Master Rudhva brought... could be fake."

> "Or... he himself is a player."

Ravik closes his eyes — and slowly puts himself into a Soul Vision trance.

But suddenly — a terrifying scene appears.

---

🐍 [Scene 2 – Illusion Realm: The Teacher's True Form]

Ravik finds himself standing in a barren desert.

In front, Master Rudhva is smiling —

But his shadow is not human… it is a giant serpent.

Ravik is shocked.

> "This is no ordinary teacher… it is an ancient cursed soul!"

Master Rudhva's eyes turn red.

His body suddenly stretches — and turns into a 30-foot long black serpent.

Ravik's eyes are filled with strategy, not fear.

--

🕸️ [Scene 3 – Trap or Test: Ravik's trick]

Ravik thinks:

> "If this serpent has appeared in its true form, it means — I did not fall prey to its game, I broke its game."

Ravik uses his Soul Seed technique.

He does not retreat, but shows himself as prey —

Weak, scared, innocent…

But inside, he is spreading a web of a fake soul.

---

🔥 [Scene 4 – Snake's Attack and Counter Move]

Rudhva in the form of a snake hisses:

> "Do you think you are the only chess player?"

"You are in my clutches now, Ravik."

He wraps himself around Ravik – coils around him like a snake.

But then…

A strong vibration emanates from Ravik's soul.

His duplicate soul creates a Soul Explosion inside the snake.

The snake shrieks – doesn't explode, but retreats.

---

♟️ [Scene 5 – Ravik's Monologue]

Ravik looks into the snake's eyes:

> "You think I am a pawn… but I am the player who creates his own pawns."

"Don't forget… I am the one who has learnt to use my soul too."

---

🔚 [Scene 6 – Back to the real world]

Ravik opens his eyes — he is in his room.

There is a snake-shaped burn mark on the wall in front of him.

> "So that was real…"

"Now this is not a teacher's fight… this is a battle between two demons."

--

– The curtain rises: planted evidence and Ravik's game

🧠 [Scene 1 – Flashback: A week ago – Ravik's real plan]

Cut scene — The colors fade, and we see Ravik in a secret room.

In front of him is the same Soul Fragment that Master Rudhva recently presented as "Sabiti".

But…

Reality Twist: Ravik himself had placed the fragment there.

> "Every crime doesn't need to be hidden, it needs to be proved — just put the blame on someone else…"

"I burned that Soul Fragment myself… and put in it the shadow of the student whose soul had already died."

> "So that when someone finds it… he thinks it's a clue. And the person he thinks is guilty… is not me, but… someone else."

Ravik blows the ashes into his palm — with a smile.

---

📚 [Scene 2 – Present: Clue announced in the Academy Hall]**

Master Rudhva, on stage, shows the Soul Fragment and says:

> "This fragment shows that Ravik's soul is connected to this murder!"

The Principal gets serious.

All the students look at Ravik.

But…

Ravik gets up from his seat — quiet, but with a play in his eyes.

> "You're saying that this fragment is connected to me? Can't I tamper with it?"

> "Can you say that this fragment wasn't stolen from the Academy's storehouse?"

> "Isn't it possible that someone placed it there intentionally… because he knew you were coming to look for it?"

---

🎭 [Scene 3 – Confusion among students and teachers]

Now the whole hall is divided into two parts:

Some teachers say, "Ravik is very clever, he is the murderer!"

Some students say, "No, he is quiet… Master Rudhva's eyes of suspicion are shining more!"

Ravik slowly drops a statement:

> "The student whose soul is in this Soul Fragment… was killed 5 days ago."

"Can you tell me, why did this piece come out today?"

> "Or… you kept it hidden since then, Master Rudhva?"

---

🐍 [Scene 4 – Master Rudhva's panic]

Master Rudhva turns his eyes red in anger.

His soul starts giving slight vibrations.

Ravik smiles — "Now you're exposed."

Principal takes a step forward:

> "Both sides are suspicious. We need to investigate further."

---

♟️ [Scene 5 – Another move by Ravik]

Cut scene — Night, Ravik is playing chess alone.

The black queen is surrounding the white king on the board.

> "You thought the clues would go against me… but the real game was that I was creating those clues."

> "I made them fight — teacher against teacher, student against student…"

> "Every piece was on my chessboard."

---

🎯 [Scene 6 – Final Twist: Ravik's Seed Plan]

Ravik is now creating a new Soul Seed — a "False Memory Parasite"

which will make Master Rudhva believe that "he is the one who committed the murders."

> "The real victory is when the enemy himself accepts that he is guilty."

---

🔚 Chapter End – The Snake Bites Itself

Ravik walks out of the room.

The white king is lying on the chess board behind him.

The black queen is standing over him, smiling.
