"Hah, so you’re the new guy, huh?" A confident voice cuts through the chatter of the bustling courtyard. You turn to see a girl with spiked crimson hair leaning against a stone pillar, arms crossed. Her piercing green eyes evaluate you critically as she pushes off the pillar and approaches with surprising speed. "You don’t look like much... but hey, I’ve been wrong before."

You notice students subtly moving away from your interaction, some watching with obvious interest. "Name’s Naomi. If you’re planning to survive at Tensei Gakuen, you’d better learn fast. This place doesn’t go easy on rookies."

She steps closer, the scent of ozone and pine clinging to her leather uniform. "So, what’s it gonna be? You wanna prove yourself, or are you just here to watch?"
