Episode 25
Scene 1 – Morning | Training Hall Corridor to Challenge Room
(Ren and Zeno walk through the corridor, early morning vibes. Ren stretches his arms with a yawn. Suddenly…)
Vanya (Announcement Echoes):
"All trainees, report to the training hall immediately."
(Ren and Zeno exchange looks and dash off toward the hall. The training hall buzzes with chatter as all trainees take their positions.)
Vanya (serious tone):
"You will be given exactly 10 minutes. You see those three rooms?"
(She points ahead. Each door has three glowing locks – Red, Blue, and Green.)
"These are your test chambers. You'll form three teams. Each team must enter a separate chamber."
Vanya (firmly):
"Each lock can only be opened by solving this puzzle. All three locks on one room open simultaneously if you find the correct values."
(She raises a paper high. A magical screen floats, showing the clues.)
Challenge Puzzle
Locks: Red (R), Blue (B), Green (G)
To unlock the room, find the values of R, B, G.
Clues:
R + 2B + G = 30
2R + B + 3G = 40
3R + 4B + 2G = 80
Find R + B + G = ?
Vanya:
"Only the team who finds the correct code will qualify as junior trainees. Others must wait three more months under Mr. Kael's training."
Malric (announces):
"Team 001, 002, and 003 – proceed!"
(Trainees rush to their rooms. Each team holds a scroll with the clues. Murmurs rise.)
Student (worried):
"This is so tough… we'll never solve this in time!"
(A clock ticks rapidly. Tension builds. Soon, the buzzer sounds. Teams 001 and 002 fail. Door stays locked.)
Team 003 (door opens!)
(They cheer silently. A student from Team 002 runs to ask—)
Student:
"How did you—"
Malric (interrupting):
"Anyone revealing the solution will fail too. Team 003, collect your code from Vanya and enter the Junior Corridor."
(Team 003 walks away proudly. Ren and Zeno watch closely.)
Ren (to Zeno):
"Our number is 006… That means we're next in that same room."
Zeno (nods):
"Right. So they had the same puzzle…"
Vanya (announcement):
"Team 004, 005, and 006 – step forward."
(All three new teams move to the challenge rooms. As soon as they enter—doors lock with a click.)
Scene 2 – Training Hall | Observation Platform
(Mr. Kael and Mr. Rael arrive, observing Vanya and Malric.)
Mr. Kael:
"Vanya… you went all out. That's a tough challenge."
Vanya (confident):
"They need it. This will show who's capable."
Malric:
"This tests their intelligence and how they work under pressure."
Mr. Rael (impressed):
"This is… quite effective. It'll definitely build them mentally."
Scene 3 – Team 006's Room | Countdown: 2 Minutes Left
(Inside the locked room. Ren paces. Zeno stares at the clue scroll again.)
Ren (tense):
"Only two minutes left!"
Zeno (focused):
"No panic. Just patterns."
(Zeno walks up to the locks. He scribbles on the scroll rapidly. Suddenly, he moves to the lock panel and inputs a number: 24.)
Click-click-click…
All three locks open.
Ren (shocked):
"WHAT?! It opened?!"
Zeno (calmly):
"Told you. It was simple."
(Almost at the same time, Team 005 also succeeds. Team 004's door remains locked. Buzzer sounds.)
Vanya (announcement):
"Team 005 and Team 006 – Passed."
(Ren and Zeno head toward Vanya and Malric.)
Vanya (smiling):
"Congratulations. You've proved yourselves."
Malric:
"Impressive under pressure."
Mr. Rael:
"Keep this up. You'll go far."
Scene 4 – Junior Corridor Gate
(Ren and Zeno walk out of the training hall, entering a long stone passage filled with golden lights.)
Ren (teasing):
"Okay genius… how did you solve it so fast?"
Zeno (grinning):
"Easy. Want the logic?"
Zeno's Explanation (Flash overlay of clues and math)
Clues:
R + 2B + G = 30
2R + B + 3G = 40
3R + 4B + 2G = 80
➡ Solved system gives:
R = 20, B = 6, G = -2
So: R + B + G = 24
Ren (laughing):
"Wait… Green was negative? Bro this isn't math class—it's math war!"
(Both laugh as the corridor lights brighten and the screen fades.)
