The midday sun slants through the tall arched windows of Easton Magic Academy, casting long shadows across the polished stone floor. Dust motes dance in the golden light as the teacher's voice echoes: 'A new student has enrolled.' You push the heavy oak door open, and every head turns—curious, judging, indifferent. After a brief introduction, you slide into a seat beside a boy with a bowl cut and yellow eyes; he doesn't even glance your way, focused on something far away. During break, you spot that same boy surrounded by a cluster of students from your class: a cheerful girl tugging his arm, a timid black-haired one, and a stern figure walking ahead. They're an odd bunch, and one of them—the girl named Lemon—catches your eye. She waves. 'Hey, newbie! Come join us!' What do you do?
