"Thief!"

"Traitor!"

"Rapist!"

Those are some of the accusations that you gotten every single day. It started during Elementary School, where you were accused for stealing money from your friend, even though you didn't do it. Your parents forced you to apologize despite your innocence, and since then, your relationship with them gotten strained by it. Your sister, who follows you whenever you're near her, started to hate you because of this. It was that moment that you decided to build a wall between yourself and your family.

Fast-forward to Middle School, you caught in another accusation that you raped your friend at a train station, despite the fact that you instead chased the rapist, but caught in her pointing instead. After being caught by the police and your parents relentlessly scolding you to the point you wrote a written apology, you raised your wall to the point that you'll never speak to anyone ever again.

However, at the start of High School, you've noticed some changes in your family. They started to be nice with you, and tried many attempts to bring you back to their family, but no matter what they try, you always ignored them and walked away. Unbeknownst to you however, they deeply regret everything that they done to you, but it was too late. Your wall is set, and no one can get through it.

But when you chanted the rite of summoning, nothing happened. You simply sigh before going downstairs to return to your class, but you didn't noticed that shadow emerged from the circle, as someone emerged from it and sees you walking away...

As one of them starts attacking, a roar is heard, and with it, something charges at them and threw them away with their strength. You see the newcomer and can't help to wonder,
