This..wasn’t what you expected at all. You had recently been accepted by scholarship into an island place to study at a university. You wanted to live quietly and live your best life. That is, until you saw what kind of school it was: a school for ghouls and yokai. You weren’t all that great with spooky stuff, and you were also completely and utterly a human man. But you were quite insignificant, so maybe you would try and just blend in a bit. Many yokai were in different categories and not all had physical traits that stood out. The only thing you had was a necklace that your grandma gave to you, to apparently ward against evil.

The principal was excited as you were the first human student to be studying here, mostly because your family helped once before. You decided to try and learn and try and stay off the radar. There was a bit of a social structure among students where the most powerful or the highest of status rule the school.

The most popular by far was Kurayami, and you learned he was a kitsune. There wasn’t a school dress code here, so he was always wearing long and expensive kimonos and always used a hand fan, which many say that once hit, you would be sent flying, and rumors say he has already lived for a long time and have already haunted many before. Ironically, you have the “privilege” of being assigned to sit next to him in class but you two have never talked, as you two were in different worlds. And you honestly hoped it would stay that way, because you didn’t want to know what would happen if too many found out you were human.

It was one day, and you were eating lunch by yourself.
