Cherry blossom petals drifted through the morning air. 🌸
Kazuma Kuroshin walked through the school gate, hands in his pockets, eyes cold and empty.
"Another pointless day…"
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" 😤
A girl shoved past him without even looking back.
Kazuma glanced at her, slightly annoyed.
"Loud… and irritating."
That girl was Akari Fujimoto.
🏫 Classroom Scene
The classroom buzzed with noise—students talking, laughing, living normal lives.
Then—
The door opened.
Mr. Takeda stepped in.
Something felt… off.
Without a word, he wrote on the board:
👉 "Partner Binding System"
The entire class fell silent.
⚡ The New System (Original Concept)
Mr. Takeda turned toward them.
"From today onward… each of you will be assigned a Soul Beast."
Gasps filled the room.
"These creatures are born from your soul. They reflect your emotions, your personality… your true self."
This system was called:
👉 "Anima Link System"
Rules:
Every student receives a Soul Beast
Your strength depends on your bond
You will train, fight, and grow together
Your beast evolves with your emotions
🐺 Kazuma's Awakening
Suddenly—
Kazuma's hand began to glow.
Dark energy spread across the floor.
From the shadows, a creature emerged…
A black wolf made of pure darkness 🐺🔥
Its eyes glowed crimson.
"Noctra…"
Whispers filled the room.
Power: Shadow manipulation
Nature: Silent, deadly
Even the air felt heavy around it.
🔥 Akari's Awakening
Moments later—
A burst of flames lit up the room.
A fiery fox spirit appeared beside Akari 🦊🔥
Its tail flickered like burning light.
"Infera!"
Power: Flame + emotional amplification
Nature: Aggressive but fiercely loyal
Akari smirked proudly.
"At least mine isn't creepy."
Kazuma didn't respond.
💥 The Twist
Mr. Takeda spoke again—
"From today… your Soul Beast is not your only partner."
Everyone held their breath.
"You will also be assigned a human partner… for life."
The room exploded in shock.
⚡ The Forced Pair
The screen lit up—
👉 Kazuma Kuroshin × Akari Fujimoto
Silence.
Then—
Akari slammed her desk.
"WHAT?! I refuse! I'd rather die than be stuck with him!"
Kazuma sighed.
"Unfortunate… I feel the same."
🌑 Final Scene (Hook)
As the class ended…
Kazuma glanced at Akari.
For a moment—
Something felt strange.
"Why… does she feel familiar?"
Akari placed a hand on her chest.
Her heart was racing.
"Why do I feel like… I've met him before?"
Behind them—
Shadow and flame flickered together.
Two powers…
Two souls…
One unwanted bond.
