CHIN CHIN

In a magical, modern world, humans are gifted with a strange energy. Mana. Mana is as vital as air. Without it, you die. Some are given it in ordinary amounts. Enough to slay demons, if trained well enough.

But some are gifted extraordinary amounts. So much that others might want it locked away. This is Toko's case. His mana isn't fully locked though. It's still there, waiting to be unleashed.

At least, that's what he thinks.

The man in the black suit watches. Not just any man. An assassin. He wants to recruit Toko to a school for killers like himself. He sees Toko fighting bandits with that calm, mocking ease that makes the crowd gasp.

"He's worthy to join. But will he thrive. Or die too soon?" the man thinks.
