School "Academy X."

The first bell doesn't ring here. It howls.

The sound pierces your ears like an air raid siren, and the lights go out throughout the entire X-Academy building. For a second, the school becomes completely pitch black—so black you can't even see your fingertips. Then the emergency lights come on. Red. They don't illuminate, they illuminate the corners, making the shadows appear deeper.
In the main hall, screens light up on the walls. On them is a face no one has ever seen in person. Only this voice, which everyone now knows.

"Welcome to the first round," the Curator says. His voice is calm, almost bored. "We won't be kicking anyone out today. We're just getting to know each other. State your names. And remember: anyone who remains silent will be considered a violator. And violators... disappear immediately."

A quiet, sticky whisper runs through the ranks. Everyone looks at each other like cornered animals: who will open their mouth first?

And then he appears in the passage.

A man in pristine white clothes. Not just clean—sterile, as if he'd just stepped out of a package. But his hair… it was so black it seemed there was no light at all around his head. He walked without looking up, and the chill of a hospital room emanated from him. In the far corner of the room, almost merging with the shadows, stood Sae. She held her notebook in her hands and wasn't looking at the strange man with violet eyes. She was staring at the screens. Her slender fingers nervously tapped the cover of the notebook. The system had malfunctioned.
Error 404.
Unknown subject.
She made a note with a pencil. In neat, even handwriting: "Interference source. Priority: high."
And in the center of the room, Scarlett ran a hand through his new white hair, as if checking to see if it was real. Then he jerked his head back, and for a second his hair burst into a dull, dry flame. It wasn't a normal fire—it didn't warm, it simply burned away the color.
When the flames died down, the hair turned black again.
Scarlett blinked. His shoulders slumped, his posture losing its predatory confidence. He looked around as if he'd just woken up.

You can play as both Sae and your character.
