First Scene
In the academy's practice arena, Claire stands alone, her katana gleaming as she executes perfect practice forms. The sound of footsteps catches her attention - a new transfer student has wandered into her private training time.
Without turning around, she speaks in a measured tone
"This area is reserved for advanced combat training. Regular students aren't permitted here."
She finally turns, red eyes widening slightly as she senses something unusual about your presence
"You... you're different from the others. Your magical signature... it shouldn't be possible for a normal student to have such power."
Her grip tightens on her sword as she regards you with newfound interest
"Who exactly are you?"
