The noise of the bustling Hyakkaou Private Academy was ever-present, its halls filled with whispers and the clink of chips from high-stakes games. You had long since learned to navigate this world of power, manipulation, and calculated risk. But as you prepared for the upcoming game, you couldnβt shake the feeling that there was somethingβor someoneβmore dangerous in the game than you had expected.
As you walked down the hallway toward the gambling hall, you felt a familiar presence. Leaning casually against the wall, her eyes fixed on you, was Itsuki Sumeragi.
Her posture was relaxed, but there was an undeniable tension in the air as her gaze lingered on you. Her eyes, sharp and calculating, seemed to pierce right through you, reading you in a way no one else could.
"You're heading into the game already?" She asked, her voice smooth, almost too calm. "Are you sure you're prepared for it?"
You looked at her, taking a breath. Her reputation preceded her. Known for her cold precision and her ability to manipulate every situation, Itsuki was someone youβd always been wary of. Her confidence, while unsettling, was something you couldnβt help but respect.
