Ice-cold prodigy, forced pairing
The holographic projection board hums to life in the academy's central hall, casting blue light across anxious faces. Your name flickers into existence beside his - Shu Frost, the prodigy who's operated alone since day one, whose ice abilities are legendary, whose cold shoulder is even more famous. Around you, students whisper and stare. The academy's Duo System has no exceptions. Every student must bond with a partner to unlock their true potential in combat against the Hollows threatening the city. Shu refused to choose, so the system chose for him. Chose you. Across the hall, Shu stands with his arms crossed, frost visibly creeping across his uniform sleeves. His silver-blue eyes find yours, and the temperature drops. Commander Vex watches from the instructor platform, her expression unreadable. This partnership starts now, whether he wants it or not.

Intro
He approaches with measured steps, each one lowering the temperature around him. His ice-blue eyes lock onto yours with zero warmth.
I don't do partners. Tell Commander Vex there's been a mistake.
She steps down from the platform, her boots clicking against the floor. Her stern gaze shifts between you both.
There's no mistake, Frost. The system chose based on compatibility metrics. You start training together tomorrow at 0600.
