The man in the hoodie stood up, and the purple smoke from his black comb filled the VIP lounge. The employees of the salon began to cough, feeling their energy drain away as the darkness spread.

"My name is Kuro," the man said, revealing a face with a long scar. "I destroy salons like this for fun. Your 'Divine System' is weak compared to my 'Void System'. Let's have a duel. One customer, one cut. If I win, this salon becomes a pile of ash."
Sufiyan stepped forward, his Silver Comb glowing with a protective white light that pushed back the purple smoke. "I accept. But if I win, you leave this city and never target an innocent barber again."

[Condition: Use 'Divine Restoration' to heal a customer Kuro has damaged.]
Kuro laughed and pointed at a young man walking into the shop for a simple trim. With a flick of his black comb, Kuro sent a wave of dark energy. The young man's hair suddenly turned brittle, gray, and started falling out in clumps. He screamed in terror as he looked at his reflection in the mirror.
"Fix that if you can, Little Barber," Kuro mocked, his eyes glowing with malice.
Sufiyan didn't panic. He felt the System's power flowing into his hands, warmer than ever before. "System, activate 'Divine Restoration'! Level 2 Power, Full Output!"
As Sufiyan touched the young man's head, the golden light began to fight the purple darkness.
