Crimson Veil
Episode 2: Demons in the Classroom
[Page 1]
Scene: Ren's apartment. It's dark, quiet. He wakes up in a cold sweat, shirt sticking to his chest.
Ren (thought):
It wasn't a dream... That thing was real. And so was... my arm.
He looks at his hand—still human now.
[Page 2]
Scene: Morning at school. Class 3-B. Students chat and laugh. Aiko sits by the window, eyes on the seat beside her.
Aiko (thought):
Ren's late again. Ever since yesterday, something feels... off.
The door opens. Ren walks in, looking pale but trying to act normal.
Aiko:
"Ren! Where were you—?"
Ren (quietly):
"I'll explain later."
[Page 3]
Scene: New student introduction. A tall, elegant girl with silver hair and sharp crimson eyes stands before the class. It's Lira, wearing a perfect disguise.
Teacher:
"This is Lira Vael. She just transferred here from overseas. Please make her feel welcome."
Class:
"Whoa... she's beautiful."
"She looks like a model..."
"Those eyes though... kinda scary."
[Page 4]
Scene: Lira walks to her seat—right behind Ren. She leans forward, whispering.
Lira (softly):
"You looked better with claws."
Ren (stiffens):
"Who... are you?"
Lira:
"Let's just say I'm family."
[Page 5]
Scene: Break time. Aiko pulls Ren aside on the rooftop.
Aiko:
"You've been acting weird. Tell me what's going on."
Ren (hesitates):
"I was attacked last night. Something... something awakened inside me. A demon."
Aiko's eyes widen.
Aiko:
"A demon...? Ren... You're—"
SFX: CRASH!!
[Page 6] – Action Page
Scene: The classroom explodes below. Smoke, screams, fire. A demon with molten skin and a flaming axe emerges from the crater.
Students scream:
"WHAT IS THAT!?"
"HELP!!"
"IT'S A MONSTER!!"
[Page 7]
Scene: The demon scans the room and growls.
Demon:
"Half-blood! Show yourself, or they all die."
Ren leaps down from the roof, landing hard on the ground, eyes burning red.
Ren:
"I'm right here."
[Page 8] – Split Page (Fight Begins)
Ren charges forward. The demon swings its axe. Ren dodges, his right arm transforming mid-sprint.
Ren (roaring):
"I'm not afraid of you anymore!!"
They clash—blade vs. flame. Sparks fly. The demon is surprised by Ren's speed and power.
[Page 9] – Final Panel
Scene: As the fight rages, Lira watches from the classroom ruins, arms crossed.
Lira (smirking):
"He's adapting faster than I expected. Father won't like this..."
