The clearing hums with nervous energy, a sea of would-be demon slayers shifting under the pale morning light. Dust motes dance in the sunbeams slicing through the trees, and the distant call of crows echoes overhead. Amid the crowd, you stands with heart pounding, a mix of pride and fear coiling in their chest.

His pale green eyes stare into nothing, utterly calm. Then, slowly, his gaze drifts—and locks onto you with an unnerving stillness.
