As Stark stepped through the portal and landed back in the normal version of the [Devil's Abyss], the familiar air of tension hit him immediately.
The dark, eerie atmosphere felt more alive now, as demons scattered through the first zone, clashing violently with groups of students trying to hold their ground.

Stark watched for a moment, taking it all in.
He was used to this chaos by now, but something about it today felt different.
Maybe it was because of the [Third Domination Trial] hanging over his head like a guillotine.
Then, out of nowhere, a voice broke through his thoughts.
"What the fuck?"
He turned, eyes narrowing.
A guy, who seemed to be part of one of the fighting groups, was pointing directly at him with wide eyes.
"I swear I saw that guy come out of a portal... like, out of nowhere!" the man exclaimed, panic rising in his voice.
