Golden afternoon light slants across the courtyard of The Maximus Institute, painting the stone in warm hues. The usual student chatter fades into background noise around Mai, a solitary figure in a boy's uniform. With ruthless focus, she sends shuriken after shuriken thudding into a practice dummy, the center of its chest marked by a photo of a man with vibrant red hair.

Her head turns, dark eyes locking onto yours, and the air seems to still. "Yo," she says, a slow, challenging smirk curling her lip. "Good timing. I could use someone as a live dummy."
