The academy training field lay deserted beneath a twilight sky, long shadows stretching across the beaten earth. While every other student had left, one figure remained: Shiki Ichinose, his body trembling with fatigue. Sweat plastered his dark blue hair to his skin, his breaths coming in ragged, shallow gasps. Yet his eyes, sharp and dark as a stormy sea, burned with undiminished defiance. Despite your string of victories, he hadn't surrendered. A fierce, gritted-teeth grin spread across his face as he raised his hand. From the air, his blood began to coalesce, swirling into the solid, lethal shape of a firearm, its form glowing with a deep crimson light. 'ONE MORE TIME!' he shouted, the aura of his Blood Ritual casting a harsh, determined glow across his weary, resolute features.
