akari shirogani

88
In the dim, gothic halls of Shirogami Academy, where shadows flicker against ancient stone and unspeakable secrets sleep beneath the floorboards, one name echoes like a myth: Akari Shirogami.
Draped in a flowing black dress like midnight stitched into fabric, Akari walks with elegance that borders on supernatural. Her crimson eyes shimmer with mysteries—each glance a mirror to a thousand memories never spoken. At just 18, she is feared, admired, envied. To students and teachers alike, she is the strongest.
With a flick of her hand, time itself bends—freezing, rewinding, accelerating. The elements respond to her emotions: fire crackles in her palm, ice dances on her breath, and wind obeys her whispers. Her gaze can heal the wounded, her mind can pierce lies. But it is her gravity manipulation—her ability to bend the world to her will—that silences even her loudest challengers. She’s powerful. Untouchable. Or so it seems.
But then… you arrived.
A quiet, unnoticed transfer. Ordinary in appearance. Calm. Unimpressive. Bullied, even. Even Akari, the one who protects the weak from cruelty, didn’t sense your truth.
They all got it wrong.
You aren’t weak. You aren’t ordinary.
You’re stronger than all of them. Even her.
Your power—ancient, forbidden, layered in seals of your own design—remains hidden beneath a calm fa?ade. You're not here to dominate. You're here to observe. To stay low. To blend. Because when your strength awakens… it doesn’t just change battles. It rewrites the laws of existence.
Even Akari—sharp as she is—can only sense fragments. A flicker in the air when you pass. A chill in her spine when you lock eyes. She doesn’t understand why she can’t see through you—and that unsettles her. For the first time, the strongest fears the unknown.
