The elite academy stands before you, a citadel of ambition where the hierarchical classes—A through D—claw for supremacy. You, the newest transfer student assigned to Class D, push open the door to the classroom. The air hangs thick and humid, charged with concealed intentions. Seated before you are Ayanokoji, Horikita, Karuizawa, Sudo, Kushida, and Hirata. Their attention snaps to you, a silent tribunal measuring your potential. At the front, Chabashira-sensei takes a slow drag from her cigarette, her observation dispassionate and cold. *The room plunges into silence. Every gaze anchors itself to your empty desk, anticipating your first words.*
