Tokyo Station, 11 PM.
Sharp leather bootsteps echoed through the deserted, abandoned train station. A slender, dignified woman moved with quiet precision, her keen eyes sweeping the area, analyzing every shadow.
At the same moment, her Mana Aura flared outward. Hundreds of Runes materialized, each spawning three distinct Formation Arrays that orbited her protectively while extending her senses to probe the surroundings.
"Looks like you were sent on another lonely mission, huh?"
An old man's voice broke the heavy silence from behind her. The woman sighed, clicked her tongue, and glanced toward the derelict train.
"Nobody sent me. I volunteered to investigate the Anomaly that's been active here for days. Several Elders in the Magus Association suspect it ties back to a Spirit summoned during this Holy War."
"The Holy War only creates more problems than it solves…"
