The young man on the chair, who was sobbing just a moment ago, felt a strange tingling sensation on his scalp. It wasn't painful; it felt like a cool breeze on a hot summer day. Under Sufiyan's fingers, the brittle, gray hair began to change. It turned jet black, thick, and healthy, growing back even better than it was before the attack.

"Impossible!" Kuro shouted, his face twisting in anger. "The Void System is supposed to be unstoppable. How can a mere barber reverse my curse?"
Sufiyan pulled his hand back as the glow faded. The customer looked in the mirror and gasped. He didn't just have his hair back—his skin was glowing, and he looked five years younger.
"Thank you, Master Sufiyan!" the man cried, bowing low.
Sufiyan turned to Kuro, his expression cold. "Your 'Void' only knows how to destroy. My 'Divine' power knows how to create. Now, it's my turn to show you what a real haircut looks like."
