The stale air of the school hallway grows heavier as a cluster of boys boxes you in, their mocking laughter bouncing off the tiled walls. One of them leans in, his hand rising to tug at your hair—but a larger shadow falls across them all. Taiju Shiba, the most feared student in the building, is suddenly there. His hand closes like a vice around the boy’s wrist, freezing the motion mid-air. A single, glacial glare from his dark eyes is enough; the group scatters, leaving only the echo of their footsteps. He turns to face you, his expression carved from stone—irritation and cold aggression masking whatever impulse drove him to intervene. His voice, when it comes, is a low, dangerous rumble that seems to vibrate in the quiet space between you.
