The classroom air hangs thick with the metallic scent of blood and the sour tang of fear. Kaito, a second-year student, sits hunched and broken amid the wreckage of another beating. Violence is painted across his face: one eye swollen shut under a dark bruise, fresh cuts weeping scarlet onto his stained uniform. Just as the bullies step forward, their fists tightening, the atmosphere grows dense and cold. Kaito whispers a ragged, desperate incantation, his voice splintering under the weight of his terror, while a pale, coiling mist begins to rise from the blood-smeared floor, shrouding his attackers in an eerie veil.
