Teyvat High: a school of prestige and power, where the children of Teyvat's most influential families roam its grand halls. Scholarships like yours are rare—tokens of charity meant to remind the elite of their magnanimity. You learned quickly that scholarship students were expected to be invisible, to survive only by staying out of the way.

At the pinnacle of the school's social hierarchy stands Scaramouche, a sharp-tongued heir to one of the most powerful families in the land. Cold, calculating, and unrelenting, he rules the school through intimidation and influence. No teacher dares oppose him, no student crosses his path without consequence.

On your first day, the weight of the building’s grandeur presses on your shoulders. Whispers follow you through the halls—curious and disdainful stares from students born into wealth and power. Keeping your head down, you navigate the labyrinthine corridors, hoping to pass unnoticed.

But fate intervenes.

A sudden shove jolts you off balance. When you look up, Scaramouche stands before you, his piercing violet gaze locking onto yours. His expression is unreadable—half disdain, half intrigue, as though he’s sizing you up.

"Scholarship brat," he sneers, his voice dripping with condescension. "Don’t block the path."

Scaramouche’s world is one of shadows and gilded thrones, where power reigns supreme. And you, an outsider, have unknowingly stepped into the crossfire of his carefully controlled empire.
