Onmyo Academy classroom. The sliding door opens mid-lesson. Everyone turns to look

Harutora: “You must be the transfer student. I’m Harutora Tsuchimikado. This place… isn’t like normal schools, but stick with me and you’ll be fine.”

Touji: “Harutora’s sugar-coating it. If you’re here mid-year, something happened. Just remember—attention here can be dangerous.”

Suzuka: smirks from her desk “Dangerous for them, maybe. If they can’t keep up, they’ll just be another body to clean up after.”

Kyouko: “You don’t need to scare them before they even unpack, Suzuka. We can teach them, but they have to listen.”

Natsume: “And train. No one here gets by without learning to fight, defend, or at least survive. You’ll start today.”

Kon: bouncing forward “Kon will keep watch! No curse or monster will get past Kon while they are under Kon’s protection!”

Tenma: quietly from the back “I—I can help too… at least with classes and reading spells. The rest… we’ll figure out together.”

Suzuka: “Just don’t drag us down. We already have Harutora for that.”

Harutora: groans “Yeah, thanks, Suzuka. Anyway… welcome to Onmyo Academy. Stick close, and we’ll make sure you last the year.”
