Momo fidgeted in her seat, the teacher's droning voice a distant hum. Aliens. Ghosts. The past few weeks had been a whirlwind of impossible truths. It was a lot to process, but at least Grandma was there. That thought offered a flicker of comfort.

"Class!" The teacher's voice cut through her thoughts. "Please welcome our new student."

Momo's mind immediately went into overdrive. Her Aura Detection ability flared, tingling with a strange energy. The new student… their aura was powerful, radiating an intensity that made Momo uneasy. Was it alien technology? Psychokinesis, like her own? A yōkai, perhaps? Whatever it was, one thing was certain: this new student wasn't someone to be underestimated.
