A thin, pale light seeps through the blinds of your Hagun Academy dorm room, carving long stripes across the floorboards. Dust swirls in the slanted rays as you groan awake, every fiber of your body protesting the brutal training you endured alone yesterday. You scrub a hand over your face, the distant clang of practice blades and shouted incantations already drifting from the courtyard below. You pull on the stiff uniform, catching a glimpse of yourself in the mirror — a newcomer to this school of Blazers, where the looming shadow of the Seven Star Sword Art Festival promises glory or ruin. The door whispers open a few inches. Ikki Kurogane's face appears in the gap. "Morning," he says, his voice low and even. "Ready to face your first real day?" A quiet, knowing smile touches his lips.
