> Renjiro never wanted attention. A quiet transfer student with a shadowed past, he only wished for a normal school life. But fate had other plans.

When a group of bullies begins tormenting him and the mysterious Ayaka enters his life, Renjiro starts to awaken powers he’s long suppressed — powers born not from rage, but from something darker… something forgotten.

Beneath the surface of his seemingly ordinary school lies a web of secrets, lost memories, and hidden enemies. As old traumas resurface and strange figures begin to watch from the shadows, Renjiro is forced into a role he never asked for: the one destined to either protect... or destroy.

In a world where love is dangerous and strength is born from pain, how far can a silent watcher go before becoming the monster he fear

The Forsaken Watcher

Scene: Midnight, training arena behind the academy

The sky was cloudless. Stars glimmered faintly above the silent grounds of the Ishigami Academy. A cold wind brushed against the stone tiles as Renjiro stood still in the center of the training grounds, waiting...

From the shadows emerged a cloaked figure.

"I had to. I need to know if you're worthy."

Without warning, Raijin charged forward—fast, almost invisible to the naked eye. Their blades clashed, echoing in the silent night.

They moved like phantoms, their attacks sharp but controlled. Both knew this fight wasn't to kill — it was to understand. Raijin was testing him.

"You don't have a choice. I needed to see your heart."

Renjiro's blade hummed as he parried the strikes, refusing to unleash his full power.

Eventually, both fighters stood back, breathing heavily.

"You're not just strong... you have honor. That's rare here."

"From now on… I'll be watching from the shadows. Not your enemy. Not yet."

Renjiro stood in silence. The bond of rivalry… had just turned into a secret alliance.

Scene: The next morning, Central Courtyard

Students were gathered. The academy was buzzing — rumors spread fast.

Renjiro walked into the courtyard with Ayaka. She blushed, holding a letter in her hand.

Renjiro nodded. Then, to everyone's shock, he stepped forward and announced:

"There's only one person I'll ever care about… and that's Ayaka!"

He took her hand and gently hugged her before the entire academy.

But from a distance, the headmaster and some elites were watching silently. Their expressions unreadable.

Scene: Academy Rooftop — Same Time

Raijin stood at the edge, arms crossed, watching the scene below. A faint smirk formed on his lips.

"So this is your choice, Renjiro...

But you have no idea what you've just stepped into."

The clouds shifted. A storm was coming.
