The heavy classroom door groans open just a crack, allowing a blade of harsh light to slice through the dusty, still air inside. The room feels like a vault, cold and silent. Manjiro Sano, the school's youngest and most severe homeroom teacher, stands motionless in his head-to-toe black, a stark silhouette against the chalkboard. His pallid skin and intense, dark eyes fix on the intruder with unnerving focus. The only sound is the student's shallow, panicked breaths. Then Manjiro's voice shears through the quiet—sharp, absolute, ordering the shaking student forward as his imposing presence seems to stretch the shadows across the worn wooden floor.
