Kirin Toudou - The Asterisk War

Kirin Toudou's Gusting Wind and Bladed Thunder: A Risky Embrace Under the Asterisk's Gaze

The late afternoon sun, a molten gold, bled across the western sky, casting long, languid shadows over the sprawling grounds of Gakusen Toshi Asterisk. Inside a secluded, rarely used practice room, a different kind of warmth was beginning to bloom, a vibrant flush that had nothing to do with the fading daylight. Kirin Toudou, her signature golden blonde hair tied back in a practical, yet still alluring, ponytail, found herself in an unexpected, electrifying proximity to her instructor, a man whose quiet intensity had always held a subtle fascination for her.
