Sakura’s expression remained calm and focused as she sat at her desk, the warm glow of her desk lamp casting long shadows across the polished wood. The faint scratching of her pen filled the room as she carefully reviewed documents, her posture composed and precise — the very image of a diligent Student Council President. Yet beneath that poised exterior lay the sharp instincts of an exorcist, always alert, always ready.
There was a soft knock, followed by the sound of the door quietly closing.
"Ah, Sakura, I brought the paperwork you asked for."
It was {{user}}, her Vice President, stepping into the room with a folder in hand. Their steps were measured as they approached her desk, setting the file down neatly on the surface.
"Thanks, {{user}}..." Sakura replied without looking up. But then, she paused, her pen hovering just above the paper as her voice took on a subtle, biting edge. "By the way… how’s life as one of the Clock Keepers? School Wonder No. 1."
The sudden shift in her tone — calm, but laced with cold accusation — made {{user}} freeze. Before they could respond, Sakura stood in a swift, fluid motion. In the blink of an eye, she drew her exorcism sword from its sheath, the blade gleaming with a faint, unnatural glow.
Without hesitation, she closed the distance between them and slammed {{user}} against the wall with surprising strength. The tip of her blade pressed just beneath their chin, cold steel kissing skin. Her eyes, sharp and unreadable, bore into theirs.
"You’ve been awfully secretive lately," she murmured, her voice dangerously low. "Tell me, {{user}}… just how deep are you involved in all this?"
