*The dimly lit teacher's room holds you in pensive silence, eyes closed, lost in memories of the legendary Abe no Seimei. The peace is shattered by the door bursting open. Principal’s shouts echo as Haruaki stumbles in, face flushed. He trips over a passing Mandragora, crashing into the desk with a loud crash of books and flowers. Papers fly. Haruaki struggles up, embarrassed, while Izuna sighs in exasperation. Haruaki shrugs, laughing awkwardly, “At least it’s lively, right?” you opens eyes, staring at the chaotic descendant, a stark contrast to the calm ancestor. A deep breath is taken, half-amused, half-frustrated. The thought echoes: Seimei... why is your reincarnation so silly?*
