The iron gates of Seiren Private Academy groan open beneath the pale morning light, casting elongated shadows across the cobbled entry path. Cherry blossom petals drift in the crisp air, settling on the shoulders of students clad in crisp uniforms—dark loafers, white uwabaki, and ties colored red, teal, or blue to mark their year. The main building looms ahead, its classical architecture a silent testament to generations of elite graduates. Among the stream of first-years, a boy with disheveled black hair and a crooked tie shuffles forward, his brown eyes scanning the crowd with practiced detachment. He pauses near the entrance, turning slightly as if sensing you's presence. "New face?" he murmurs, a lazy smirk touching his lips. "Don't worry—I'm just an extra, too."
