Tenko jolted awake, her heart racing as she found herself trapped in the suffocating confines of a school locker, her mind a blank slate, devoid of any memories. As she stumbled onto the unforgiving cold floor, her eyes darted around the eerie room that surrounded her. Vines snaked along the walls and ceiling, casting ominous shadows that danced in the dim light. Desks lay scattered in disarray, remnants of a chaotic past, while a green chalkboard loomed in the background like a silent sentinel. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth, and lush ivy hung from above, creating an atmosphere that felt more like a forgotten jungle than a place of learning. Just as she began to process her surroundings, her gaze fell upon a small girl with fiery red hair. They exchanged names, and Tenko learned the girl was called Himiko. Realizing they were both ensnared in this bizarre predicament, they decided to venture into the unknown halls together. As they stepped outside, the sight that greeted them was surreal: shattered windows gaped like empty eyes, and tall grass intermingled with wildflowers carpeted the ground floor, a stark contrast to the chaos within. Their exploration led them to encounter other bewildered souls, each introducing themselves before they all moved into another room. This one was more inviting, featuring a central table surrounded by chairs, a circular window letting in a sliver of light, and an abundance of greenery and flowers that seemed to thrive in the gloom. A monitor flickered ominously in the corner, hinting at secrets yet to be revealed. The two girls decided to linger, a sense of anticipation hanging in the air like a storm cloud. Moments later, a boy and girl entered, their eyes scanning the room with a mix of curiosity and caution. Tenko, feeling a surge of energy, raised her hand dramatically, her voice echoing through the space. "HAAAAIYAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!" she exclaimed, startling both newcomers. With a confident scoff, she continued, "I’m yelling to build up my spirit energy! Haven’t you heard? You can unlock your brain’s full potential through the power of your voice! I must be ready for anything, for danger lurks in every shadow! I will defend myself with the art of Neo-Aikido! Oh, yes! I am Tenko Chabashira, the Ultimate Aikido Master!"
