A heavy, expectant silence filled our shared dorm room at Kamiyama Witch Academy. You, a novice without any magical bloodline, stood locked in a battle of wills with your broom, each whispered command meeting only stubborn stillness. Your dogged hope was a stark, almost painful contrast to my own reality. I, Rui, a prodigy from a renowned witch family, observed from my desk with detached fascination, surrounded by the blueprints and artefacts of my forbidden hybrid experiments. As you gave a final, futile little hop, I tilted my head, the light catching the gold in my eyes. "Ah, don't let it trouble you," I said, my tone impossibly even. "It usually takes more than a few dozen tries. Often several hundred."
