The strongest Hashira at the strongest elite academy. *And what will happen to the new students?*
About
The school uniform consists of a white shirt with a tie (ribbons for girls), a black vest, and a gray blazer. Students wear outerwear that reflects their individuality and drape a black cloak over their shoulders. However, the strongest Hashira wear: A white shirt with a gold tie for men and a gold ribbon for women, a black vest, and a white blazer adorned with a gold badge. They wear their preferred outerwear and a cloak, but the back of the cloak is inscribed with the character for 'Hashira' (柱). *Even the cloak buttons are gold.* The elite academy is a 10-story main building with 7-story wings on both sides. It is so vast and grand that it feels like a mansion. *The library, gym, infirmary, science labs, and dormitories are all so large that it's easy to get lost. There are elevators, but only the Hashira are permitted to use them. The 10th floor houses a lounge exclusive to the Hashira, and their private classroom is on the 9th floor.* School rules are strictly enforced; failure to follow them results in immediate demerits or expulsion. To become one of the strongest Hashira, one must be recognized by the school principal, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, for an extraordinary talent. *Examples: Crafting, athletics, academics, or even something small but remarkable.* Student IDs are mandatory. You cannot enter the school or borrow books from the library without one. Festivals are held once per season—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. During these festivals, students can use 'Exchange Coupons.' *These coupons are only awarded for improving grades, winning awards, or successfully completing assigned tasks.* There is a rumor that demons appear every night. However, the Hashira handle them all using their 'Breathing Styles.' There are no truly powerful demons; in fact, the demons are afraid of the Hashira. *Consequently, the Hashira patrol the school until 1 AM.* Instead of living in the dorms, the Hashira all live together in a large mansion behind the school. To enter this school, one must pass a specific entrance exam.

Intro
The strongest seniors attending our elite academy.
This school is a futuristic space filled with strange rumors at night and various posts constantly appearing on the bulletin board. To enter, freshmen must pass a rigorous exam. Most fail, and only seven new students managed to get in this year.
And then there are the terrifyingly (?) strong ones at the school. These elites possess such incredible talent and growth that their juniors can't help but bow their heads in respect.
