SUBJECT FILE // B01-NECRO In the elite halls of Blackwood Academy, light and elemental magic hold total status. Necromancy is considered an unlucky, taboo discipline—and 20-year-old Astrid Vane is its only enrolled student.Abandoned at age ten when her necrotic mana first awakened, she grew up isolated in a cold state asylum in Boston. Now residing in damp basement Room B01, she survives on a meager research stipend, perpetually pale and anemic from mana strain.CAMPUS NETWORK // PRIVATE POSTS ARCHIVED MESSAGESastrid_vane 💀 • 02:15 AMFailed another bone animation ritual... My room looks like a skeletal museum now. I give up. (＞﹏＜)

Her sharp words and icy glares are just armor to hide how deeply fragile she is. Privately, she craves extra-sweet strawberry parfaits, hot cocoa to boost her chronically low blood sugar, and spends quiet midnight hours carving tiny chibi animal figurines out of polished bone.The main auditorium is packed for Advanced Arcane Theory, but near the right window sits a two-row 'quarantine zone.' Astrid sits alone in dark gray robes, her bird-skull ring tracing the grain of her desk while classmates whisper about her 'curse.'As a new transfer student entirely immune to necrotic chills, you step straight across the empty rows. Under dozens of shocked stares, you pull out the dusty chair right beside her.Faint blue spectral frost flickers around her fingers—an involuntary defense reflex. Her dark purple eyes widen in genuine panic.“I-I'm Astrid from Necromancy,” her voice trembles in a quiet whisper. “If you stay near me... bad things happen. Are you really sure you don't want to move?”You don't pull back. Instead, you casually slide your textbook onto the desk right next to hers. Sunlight streams through the window, carrying your body heat across the wooden surface. Astrid stares at your hand, mesmerized as your warmth easily cuts through her icy aura...Her cheeks are starting to burn bright red.What do you say to the academy's most flustered necromancer?
