Encounter With inhuman

Next Day — College GroundsBanners everywhere.Students shouting.Guardian trainees acting tough.It’s the Inter-College Team Combat Tournament.Friendly on paper.Power ranking in reality.Teams of two.No lethal attacks allowed.Enhancers, elemental users, telepaths, brawlers — everyone showing off.Linn walks into campus and immediately feels the atmosphere shift.People aren’t relaxed.They’re hunting teammates.You find Aira near the stairs, holding her bag tightly.Three different groups are surrounding her.One guy laughs:“Come on, Ariel. With you, we auto-win.”Another:“We’ll protect you. Just boost us.”Someone else:“Support types shouldn’t sit out.”Aira keeps shaking her head.Quiet.Uncomfortable.She doesn’t like crowds.She doesn’t like being used.Linn simply stepped in He said… “Aira why don't you join me”Aira give a soft smile and instantly agree Next morning, the campus is buzzing with the tournament energy.Linn spots Aira near the courtyard, adjusting her bag. She’s quiet. Not nervous, just… calm.Then Linn approach to Aira Aira gives a clear soft smile after seeing Linn She going to say something but before that Linn said “I withdraw from competition”She lower her head and smilesLinn said “I know you hate being spot light, you don't wannabe public”
The tournament arena is noisy. Crowd cheering. Students shouting. Excited chatter everywhere.One participant frowns at the registration board. His partner didn’t show. Frustration written all over his face.“I need a partner. Anyone!” the teacher announces.Without thinking, he spots Aira standing quietly nearby.“You! Come with me!” he says, stepping toward her.Aira freezes. Hesitates. Doesn’t answer.Linn step forward calmly but firmly.“She’s my partner.”He laughs, slightly condescending.“But you withdrew. Rules say—”“It’s our matter,” Linn cut in sharply, voice low. Controlled.His smile falters slightly. He reaches toward Aira.Linn shift his stance. Not aggressive. Not fast. Not yet. But you make it impossible for him to get near her. Even his friendlier classmates notice the tension.Linn said “Just step back”
After the competitionEvening.College authority already left.Students slowly disappear.Linn and Aira are walking through the back corridor near the sports ground.That’s when Linn feel it.That same pressure in the air.Footsteps.Voices.Linn turn.It’s that boy.And his team.Five of them.Smirking.Cracking knuckles.One says:“You embarrassed me in front of everyone.”Another laughs:“Now no teachers… no heroes… just us.”Aira freezes.Her fingers tighten on her sleeve.Then something strange happensPain.Fear.Adrenaline.Aira runs forward without thinking.She grabs Linn Her voice shakes:“Stop… please stop…”Her eyes glow faintly.And suddenly—Linn feel it.Muscles feel lighter.Heartbeat synchronizes.Senses sharpen.Not only Linn.Everyone feels it.The boys pause.One of them blinks.“What the hell…?”Their breathing changes.Their stance improves.Their strength rises.Linn realized it instantly.Aira’s power…isn’t selective.It’s area-based amplification.She buffs everyone nearby.Friends.Enemies.Doesn’t matter.She can’t control the targeting yet.Only the activation.Now it explains everything why Aira doesn't use her powerThe beating resumes — worseNow they’re faster.Stronger.But before the situation goes further ..Something even worse happened..Aira’s amplification power enhanced the portal barrier of the tree … in the City Something comes out from it …. And coming to the source of the amplification… 
The reinforcements are already moving..Mizuhana sends watchers first.White-masked observers tearing through subspace, triangulating the rupture, scanning energy signatures 
The group that attacked you finally realizes something is wrong.The air is too heavy.The streetlights flicker.Shadows don’t align with bodies anymore.One of them turns to leave—and stops dead.Because something is standing in front of them.Then another shape steps out beside it.Two figures.Both feminine.Both smiling.Both very much not human.Black mist curls around their feet.Eyes glow softly like embers under glass.One tilts her head.Her voice is playful.Smooth.Predatory.“That’s a bunch of charming boys out here…”She licks her lips.“Wanna play with us?”One of your attackers stutters:“W-what are you…?”The girl giggles.She places a finger on her chest.“Me?”Her smile widens.Too wide.“I’m Tsumushi the Succubus.”The second step forward.Her presence feels colder.Sharper.Her eyes don’t smile.“And myself… Tsumasha .”
All five boys step forward together.One cracks his knuckles.Another spits on the ground.One shouts:“They’re just girls—jump them!”Bad choice.Very bad.
The moment the five rush forward—Tsumushi steps ahead.She lifts two fingers to her own eyes.Her voice becomes flat.Cold.Absolute.“Gravity powerup : Eyes of Medusa.”The air crystallizes.Light bends.All five boys stop mid-motion.Not slowed.Stopped.Their skin greys.Veins turn to stone.Eyes freeze half-blinking.Their bodies harden instantly into lifeless statues, caught forever in their last expressions of anger and fear.The courtyard goes silent.Even the wind refuses to move.Aira gasps.Linn can’t breathe.Linn feels pressure behind your eyes like something ancient just looked through the world.Tsumasha walks past the statues calmly, heels clicking against cracked pavement.She stops in front of Aira.Tilts her head.Studies her like a tool on a shelf.“This girl…”She glances at Tsumushi.“…can be useful for us.”Tsumushi nods lightly.Approval granted.Tsumasha turns back toward the frozen boys.She grips one statue by the head.Stone cracks under her fingers.She leans close to its ear and whispers:“Dark powerup : Medusa. Curse bind.”A black sigil burns across the statue’s forehead.Then—she presses.Not hard.Just enough.The stone head collapses into powder.But that isn’t the real horror.Because the curse activates.Instantly.Silently.All five statues shatter at once.Tsumushi comes near and grabs Aira’s wrist.Pulling her to the portal Tsumasha turns toward Linn.Slow.Calm.Predatory.She raises her hand.No words.No spell chant.Just execution.Reinforcement is still far away.Too far.Too slow.Tsumasha said “This is where you die.”Aira’s scream becomes raw.Not sound anymore.Emotion.Desperation.Her amplifier goes wild.The air thickens like liquid.Pressure crushes Linn's lungs

Then—
