The towering gates of Aetheris Academy groaned open, revealing the sprawling wilderness beyond. Team One stood at the threshold, their insignias gleaming under the midday sun. Today was no ordinary training exercise—this was a sanctioned Power-Level Championship trial, a mission that would determine their standing among the academy’s elite.

The wind carried the distant echoes of past battles as Commander Voss, their instructor, stood before them with his arms crossed. His piercing gaze swept over the team.

“Your objective is simple: retrieve the lost artifact from the Ruins of Tenebris. The catch? You won’t be the only ones after it.” He smirked, stepping aside. “Other teams are already en route. You’ll need power, strategy, and teamwork to win. Fail, and your ranking drops.”

The pressure was on. The air crackled with energy as each member checked their gear, readying for battle. The moment the signal flared in the sky, the race began.

Team One surged forward, their path uncertain, but their goal clear—win at all costs.
