Ryo stood up slowly, his body aching from the intense battle he had just fought. The dark figure was gone, and Rias was safe for now, but something within him had shifted. The rush of power from the void energy was subsiding, but another force was awakening inside him — something ancient, something familiar.
His heart pounded in his chest as the notification from the system flashed in front of him.

Ryo: *The Sharingan... so it's finally awakened.*
He blinked, feeling the subtle shift in his vision as the Sharingan activated. His surroundings became sharper, more vivid. He could see the slightest movements in the air, the faintest traces of energy still lingering from the battle. Everything felt more… alive.
Rias, still recovering from the dark influence that had taken over her, looked at him with a mixture of relief and confusion. "Ryo… your eyes…"
Ryo nodded slowly, feeling the power of the Sharingan pulse through him. "I know. It's the Uchiha bloodline. I've unlocked the Sharingan."
Rias gasped softly, her crimson eyes wide as she took a step toward him. "The Sharingan… I've heard stories about it, but I never thought…"
Ryo: "Yeah, I didn't expect it either. But it seems like fighting that thing and pushing myself to the limit woke it up."
He glanced down at his reflection in the small pool of water near his feet, seeing the distinct red glow of his eyes. A single tomoe spun slowly in each of his irises, signaling the first stage of his newly acquired power.
Ryo: *So, this is the power of the Uchiha clan…*
Even though he had just unlocked the Sharingan, Ryo could already feel the potential it held. His mind raced with possibilities. The Sharingan was one of the most powerful and versatile abilities in existence — from predicting enemy movements to copying techniques, it would give him a serious edge in battle.
But this was only the beginning.

Rias, sensing that something had changed in Ryo beyond just his eyes, took his hand. "Are you okay? That battle… it took a lot out of you."
Ryo nodded, though he couldn't hide the exhaustion weighing down his limbs. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just… drained." He squeezed her hand gently, grateful that she was safe. "But I couldn't have let that thing take you. Not when I had the power to stop it."
Rias blushed slightly at his words, her face softening. "You saved me, Ryo. I don't know how to thank you enough."
Before Ryo could respond, another notification from the system popped up.

Ryo clenched his fists, feeling the surge of excitement coursing through him. The Sharingan wasn't just powerful — it was a game-changer. He looked at Rias with renewed determination.
Ryo: "I need to train this power. The Sharingan will help me protect you, Ophis, and everyone else in ways I couldn't before."
Rias smiled, sensing his resolve. "I believe in you, Ryo. But don't push yourself too hard."
Before he could respond, a familiar voice echoed through the clearing.
Ophis: "The Sharingan… interesting."
Ryo turned to see Ophis standing a few meters away, her eyes observing him with an unreadable expression. She must have sensed the awakening of his bloodline ability, as she had a way of knowing things no one else could.
Ophis: "You've gained more power, Ryo. But remember, with power comes responsibility."
Ryo smirked. "I know. I'm ready for it."
Ophis nodded slowly. "Good. You've come a long way, but there is still more to learn. I'll help you with your training when you're ready."
Ryo: "Thanks, Ophis."
Rias stepped forward, a hint of worry in her eyes. "But what about that dark energy that was controlling me? Do you think it's truly gone?"
Ophis shook her head slightly. "It's weakened, but not gone. The entity you fought was merely a puppet — the real threat still remains. We'll need to stay vigilant."
Ryo's expression hardened. He knew that the fight was far from over. The dark energy that had taken control of Rias was just a glimpse of the danger lurking in the shadows. Whoever or whatever was behind it was still out there, and Ryo wasn't about to let them harm anyone else.
Ryo: "Then we'll be ready. I'll keep training, and when the time comes, we'll face whoever's behind this."
Ophis: "Indeed. But for now, rest. You've earned it."

That night, after they had returned home, Ryo couldn't sleep. He lay in bed, staring at the ceiling as thoughts of the Sharingan and the battles ahead raced through his mind. The feeling of his newly awakened power still buzzed under his skin, but there was something more — a lingering sense of dread that he couldn't shake.
*Who was that figure? And why did they target Rias?*
Ryo closed his eyes, summoning the system's interface. His stats appeared before him once again, but this time, the Uchiha bloodline was prominently displayed alongside his other skills.

Ryo smirked as he looked at his stats, knowing that with the Sharingan, his potential was only just beginning to unfold. He wasn't satisfied yet — there was still so much more to learn and master. The journey ahead would be difficult, but he had the strength, the will, and now, the eyes to see it through.
With that thought, Ryo drifted into a restless sleep, already planning his next steps for the battles to come.
