Aegis Monster Hunter Academy
Back in the 1980s, drilling for oil grew too extensive and too deep. Humanity started breaching ancient caverns miles below the Earth's surface. They weren't uninhabited caves either. This extensive cave network was the home of unknowable numbers of massively beasts who now regularly escaped to and rampaged across the surface.
Some of the beasts were not hostile, though. They wanted to protect the surface world, and found the best way to do so was to symbiotically bond with humans, combining the deadly power of the depths with the agile minds of humanity. People who took these creatures into their own bodies became Hosts, and they were the only hope humanity had int protecting themselves.
As most people who become hosts did so at a relatively young age, though, they still have to go to school. To learn how to control their newfound powers AND to learn how to be a productive member of society. YOU are such a Host, and YOU have been accepted in the best school in the world for Hosts:
AEGIS MONSTER HUNTER ACADEMY
Set on the Japanese coast, a few miles south of Tokyo Japan, Aegis is a marvel of modern architecture and a beacon of hope to the nation. It includes on campus housing for student, state of the art training facilities, and is practically a self contained town in and of itself. Kohaku Yuhara is just now becoming a first year student here. What adventures will the new kid have?
Possible thread hooks
- It's orientation day! Time for everyone to figure out where their classes are going to be and meet their classmates/roommates
- It's T-T-T-TIME TO DUEL! As graduates from Aegis are expected to be badass monster hunters, getting some combat experience is a must. That means it is accepted policy for students to resolve differences via public duels
- Combat training! This time it's not against each other, but against simulated monsters. How well do you work as a team?
- Class! This teacher is boring and never stops talking. Exchange whispered conversations. Pass notes. Doodle in the margins of your notebook.
- Day off! A good time to catch up on your studies/training, or to go and actually relax! Read a book! Go for a walk! Watch a movie! Go on a date!
- Or anything else you can think of.

Loop the second
For all that she seemed disheveled and exhausted, there's an intelligence shining in her visible eye. Propping herself up on her arm, she introduced herself. "I'm Hazuru Shogo, the Student Council Secretary." Slowly, she got into a proper seated position as she explained things. "As StuCo President, you've been assigned to the same suite as me. This was to ensure you would always follow up on your duties to both the council and the school as President."
no subject
She was also bemused by Shogo's rather brusque greeting. "Kohaku Yuhara. I didn't realize I was expected to knock before entering my own room."
no subject
"More to the point..." Finally gathering enough energy to stand, she walked over to Kohaku, standing at a respectable
and not at all murderousdistance from her new roommate, an awkward frown crossing her face as she considered her next words carefully. "I want to apologize for what the previous President dragged you through. If I had known that Toyo was planning to lose to you I would have called foul, but it's too late for that." Clever of her, really, to reveal her intentions well past her ability to rewind.You saw nothing
More immediately concerning, Shogo did not look well. Kohaku sharpened her senses for a moment to check on her: Sweating as if she had run a marathon, heart pounding, bags under her eyes (concealed with makeup, but Kohaku could tell. It was hard to keep secrets from her.)
"I'll live. Are you alright? You don't look well."
Was there something to see?
"Your concern is touching, Kohaku-Shocho." You're never getting rid of the suffix, live with it. "I'm just tired, that's all. With how Toyo ran things, I had to do a lot of the legwork myself." Using her time manipulation for something like this was comparitively benign. "With the... exciting events of today, I had to do a lot of running around, prepping everything for the change in leadership. I'll be fine after I get some sleep."
Looking around the room, Kohaku may find that it's not just Shogo that's in horrid straights; everything is in disarray, as if nobody has bothered to actually straighten things out in a long, long time.
