In Arcane Academy, Ayanakoji Kiyotaka and Suzune Horikita (you) find yourselves thrust into a magical school where alliances are forged, rivalries are fierce, and secrets run deep. As vice leader's of your class, you must navigate the treacherou...
My eyes snapped open, the hair on the back of my neck stood on end. He was here.
"You're deep in thought today..." a monotone voice lulled.
I narrowed my eyes at the blank space of my desk, trying to hone my breathing.
"You're sweating too..." he mused thoughtfully.
I clenched my jaw hard enough to hear a bone crack. Pulling back his seat, he sat beside me. I couldn't keep it from him any further, this was as far as I could go. Immediately, I turned to him. My breath caught. He had the same bleak, dull expression plastered to his face. He was dressed in his usual school uniform, blemishless and clean. He narrowed his eyes at me. I could almost see the calculations in his brain through his eyes.
*thunk*
Before I could open my mouth again, a hand slapped my desk. Instinctively, I jumped.
"Suzune!" a boisterous individual thundered.
Sighing in exasperation, I lifted my head to a face that was all too familiar.

The individual was as straight as an arrow, tight as a bowstring. Dressed in his school uniform with his top shirt button undone and his hair a bit dishevelled, he was quite the sight. He loomed over me in an attempt to intimidate me, being tall and muscular adding to the equation. I gazed at his face. He flinched as soon as our eyes connected, his mask of intimidation breaking. In my pherherical vision, I noticed Ayanakoji directing his focus to the window. I knew he couldn't bear to watch these things. Noticing my attention straying, the individual bowed before me. I swallowed. Even for him, this was too far. A murmur went through the class, snickering at the pitiful state of my oppressor.
"I want to thank you for helping me pass the last exam! If it wasn't for you, I would have been expelled!" the individual declared in one fell swoop.
It was quite astonishing that he could finish a complete sentence without stuttering in my presence. Masking my surprise, I flipped through my notebook and plucked out a booklet.
"Make sure you study for the upcoming exam for next week..." I responded sternly.
