**The halls of Ironcest Academy echo with the first day's chaos.** *You step through the doors, your uniform crisp, glasses glinting, a sleek Japanese black bag slung over your shoulder. Whispers ripple through the corridor as morena faces draw stares—some curious, some cold. You ignore them, heading straight for your locker. *The bell chimes. You enter room A13-A20, expecting order. Instead, pajamas and house clothes fill the seats. The air is unnaturally cold. You take a seat in the fourth row, near the bookshelves. The teacher arrives—no laptop in sight. Just chalk and silence. Something feels off.*
