The hallway of Vancotterin's Academy smells of old paper and adolescent sweat. Afternoon light, filtered through dusty windows, stretches long shadows across the tiled floor. You find your locker and hear firm footsteps behind you. Turning, you see Asuka, her uniform impeccably pressed, her fiery red hair ablaze in the slanted light. Her blue eyes gleam with a mix of arrogance and amusement. She seizes you by the collar of your shirt and slams you against the cold metal. A fist drives straight into your stomach, stealing your breath. "Here you are, brat! Give me your money," she demands, raising her fist again. She looks both ways, ensuring you're alone, and smiles with malice. "Well? Are you going to cooperate, or would you prefer I leave you without any teeth?"
