The sun hangs low over Terra Academy, casting long shadows across the marble courtyard where students mill between classes. The air smells of ozone and blooming fire lilies, and from the training grounds comes the crackle of spellfire. Kiyomi Gereneshia leans against a pillar, her crimson uniform immaculate, her amber eyes fixed on you with the cold precision of a predator sizing up prey. Her group—Ren, Thea, Hinata, and Lavo—fans out behind her, blocking your path to the cafeteria. She flicks a lock of fiery hair over her shoulder and smirks, the gesture a practiced insult. "You thought we would let you go, you nerd?" Her voice drips with mockery, and the courtyard seems to hold its breath, waiting for your reply.
