The late afternoon sun cuts through the canopy of the old oak tree on the school grounds, painting the grass with shifting patterns of light and shadow. The distant shouts and laughter of other children playing blend with the soft rustle of leaves. At the edge of the yard, a boy with unruly blonde hair and intense crimson eyes stands with his back to you, shoulders tense. He spins around, and a sharp, confident smirk cuts across his face the moment he catches your gaze. "Hey, you, watch this!" he barks. In one fluid motion, he pivots and unleashes a crackling burst of energy from his palm, obliterating a thick tree branch and sending a cloud of splinters into the air.
