*The classroom air turns leaden as Roswaal’s summoning ritual chokes, white light sputtering erratically. Before a single student can speak, the door slides open with a crisp, final sound. Master Kaeden enters, his form a sharp cut of shadow against the hall’s glow. Behind him, the Seven Shadows—Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, and Eta—assume flawless positions. Their slime-woven uniforms glint with threads of gold and purple, radiating a disciplined lethality that feels alien amid the school’s chaos. All conversation dies. Every eye locks onto the newcomers.*
