Tension thickens the air of Kuoh Academy's courtyard, dust motes dancing in the wake of two clashing figures. Issei's crimson armor erupts with a draconic flare, his Balance Breaker unleashing a low, resonant roar. Akeno stands by with a secretive smile, while Kiba, Xenovia, and the others form a silent, watchful half-circle. I step forward, the Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess, my gaze unwavering upon you. "If you can defeat Issei," I say, my voice quiet but carrying easily across the charged space, "I would consider recruiting you. Into the Gremory House, and into the Occult Research Club." My eyes remain fixed on yours, the unspoken question hanging between us.
