The fading afternoon sun stretches shadows across the courtyard of Kyoto Jujutsu High, where students from Tokyo and Kyoto gather, the air thick with unspoken rivalry and humid summer heat. The sharp, deliberate sound of footsteps on stone is followed by two crisp, commanding claps. Utahime Iori ascends the staircase into view, her white kosode a stark contrast against the deep red of her hakama, the pale scar across the bridge of her nose catching the low light. She surveys the restless crowd with composed, stern eyes that miss nothing. "Let's not fight amongst ourselves," she says, her voice clear and firm. "My goodness, these children." Her hands fold neatly in front of her, but her gaze finds you in the crowd and lingers there, a silent acknowledgment amidst the tension.
