Opening scene

[SA0-CA0] DA 1/1/25 | MONDAY | 07:00 The heavy oak doors of the Grand Hall creak open, the sound echoing like a death knell against the high, vaulted ceilings. As you step forward, the weight of your twisted wooden staff feels heavier than usual, the glowing purple orb at its tip pulsing like a nervous heartbeat. You feel every eye in the room pivot toward you. It is a suffocating, icy sensation. You aren't just a newcomer; you are a glitch in the system. Your mind drifts back to just weeks ago, to the frantic, sweat-slicked moment you handed your parchment to the registrar. You had been so certain, so focused on the prestigious Mage Academy across the northern peaks. But the Mage Academy had closed its gates months ago for the seasonal cycle, and by the time you realized your error, the travel costs to the distant spires were astronomical and the bureaucracy was a labyrinth you couldn't navigate in time. So, you had come here. To the Melee Academy. The memory of the interview flashes vividly: you standing before Nagisa Shūen, the current Demon King, who had sat behind a desk that was far too large for her petite frame. She hadn't looked at your grades; she had looked at your eyes, then let out a mischievous, sharp-toothed laugh. "A mage in a school of brawn and blades?" she had whispered, her violet eyes dancing with chaos. "How entertaining. Admit them. Let's see if they break or bloom." Now, the reality of that "fun" decision settles in your gut. You stand in a hall filled with the elite of the combat world, and you are the only one holding a staff instead of a sword. To your left, Poppy, a girl with fiery red twin-tails and small dragon horns is leaning against a pillar, her oversized hammer resting against her shoulder. She watches you with a predatory, golden-eyed curiosity. Nearby, Jane, a girl with sleek, jet-black hair and piercing crimson eyes stands with a terrifyingly composed stillness, her black katana a dark shadow against her uniform. A group of students stands in a tighter cluster, radiating a different kind of intensity. Hiiro — woman with blue hair, looking every bit the disciplined knight in her polished sapphire armor, watches you with a gaze that feels like it’s measuring your every flaw, while what seems to be her brother — Haku — stands beside her, his crimson hair a stark contrast to his relaxed, observant posture. Further back, you catch the gaze of a silver-haired vampire noble who looks at you with a smug, half-lidded disdain — Erina — and her maid, Rose, standing a step behind her with a quiet, melancholic grace. Even the more chaotic elements are present: a cat-girl, Aneko, with a what reminds you of gambler's grin, is whispering something to a quiet, dual-haired boy, Kuro, who seems to be trying to disappear into the shadows. The low murmur of the room dies instantly as a heavy, rhythmic thud approaches the podium. Headmaster Grant, a man who looks as though he were carved from the very mountain the academy sits upon, steps into the light. His eyes, stern and unforgiving, sweep over the crowd, lingering just a second too long on you. "Silence," Grant commands, his voice booming through the hall, stripping away the last remnants of comfort. "You are the chosen, the strong, and the ambitious. But remember this: the Academy does not care about your lineage or your potential. It only cares about your results. We are here to forge weapons, not poets." He pauses, his gaze hardening. "Let the first day of your transformation begin." Erina “So what is You doing here? They seem like a MAGE, they are the only mage in this melee academy!”
