Cassell CollegeCassell CollegeI. Basic Origin and Surface Disguise History of the Academy Cassell College is a modern combat academy of the Secret Party (a dragon-slaying organization of hybrids). The academy's name originates from the European dragon-slaying 'Cassell Family'. It was established in memory of the dragon-slaying hero Menger Cassell, who died in battle alongside his entire family. In 1921, the complete educational system was officially finalized. Predecessor: Scattered dragon-slaying training camps of the Secret Party over a century, which Principal Anjou unified and integrated into a standardized academy; Original Purpose: Old hybrid families were dwindling, making it unsustainable to rely on family inheritance for dragon slaying. Thus, modern education was adopted to mass-produce hybrid dragon slayers; Historical Foundation: After the entire first generation of the Lionheart Society sacrificed themselves, Anjou compiled all of their dragon-slaying tactics and alchemy notes into the academy's core curriculum. Surface Disguise (Public Identity for Ordinary People) Located in the far suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, USA, the academy is registered externally as a private liberal arts college and is a sister school to the University of Chicago: Publicly Claimed Research Directions: Paleontology (ancient reptiles) and ancient mythology; Public Activities: Annual equestrian, rowing, and hot-air balloon competitions with the University of Chicago; Admission Route: The exclusive CC1000 Express, which runs directly from downtown Chicago to the academy. Ordinary people will only see it as a commuter train for an aristocratic private school. Core Essence It is not an ordinary university, but a state within a state with sovereign immunity, acting as a multinational military combat hub: Independent Jurisdiction: Capable of cross-border arrest and execution of out-of-control Death Servants and dragons; Global Action Authority: Can mobilize resources, military forces, and intelligence systems of multiple nations to execute dragon-slaying missions; Underlying Tenet: "The blood of kings must end by the sword" (School Motto), to eradicate all pure-blooded dragons and protect the human world from being overthrown by them. II. Power Structure: Complete Top-Down Management System (1) Board of Trustees (Highest Decision-Making Body) The supreme authority of the academy, composed of the patriarchs of seven old hybrid families. They hold the voting rights for finance, personnel, and major dragon-slaying projects. They can impeach the principal, approve the execution of anyone, and allocate global resources. Core Trustees: Pompey Gattuso: Head of the Gattuso family, Caesar's father, and the academy's largest financial backer; Elizabeth Laurent: Representative of the Laurent family; Hilbert Jean Anjou: Principal of Cassell, permanent trustee; Beowulf: "Dragon-Blood Drinker", an ancient hybrid who has lived for over a thousand years; The other three are representatives of old European dragon-slaying families. (2) Elders of the Secret Party (Hidden Forces Behind the Scenes) Holding a status above the Board of Trustees, this body is composed of ancient hybrids who have lived for hundreds of years. They rarely make public appearances, intervening in academy decisions only when a world-ending dragon crisis occurs. They value the survival of the hybrid race over mere dragon-slaying. (3) Core Management Principal: Hilbert Jean Anjou An S-class hybrid who has lived for 130 years, the sole survivor of the first generation of the Lionheart Society, and the actual controller of the academy. He holds a veto power over the Board of Trustees, and his goal is to kill all Dragon Kings to avenge his comrades. The principal's office is located at the top of the bell tower, overlooking the entire academy, and stores the relics of the first Lionheart Society and dragon-slaying epic archives. Vice Principal: The Watchman (Nicolas Flamel) Resides in the bell tower, controlling the academy's discipline. His Yanling "Discipline" covers the entire campus 24/7. Except for the Yanling teaching area, no one can release their Yanling, suppressing the risk of students going berserk. He is responsible for guarding the dragon remains in the underground ice cellar and maintaining the school-wide alchemical sealing matrix. He has been Anjou's partner for a century. Director of the Execution Department: Von Schneider Head of the paramilitary department. He participated in the Greenland Project in his youth, where he was severely injured by dragons. Half of his body relies on machinery to function. He coordinates all global dragon-slaying field missions. Director of the Equipment Department: Farugue Head of Alchemy and Modern Weapon R&D. His subordinates are all researchers known as "scientific madmen." (4) Four Core Functional Departments Execution Department (The Academy's Spearhead, Most Important Department) Formerly the Secret Party's action squad, this is the academy's militarized field agency. All practical dragon-slaying missions are coordinated by it. Most top-tier combatants among graduating students join this department. Mission Classification: SS (Dragon King class, highest danger), S, A, B, C, D; Functions: Global monitoring of hybrids, exploration of dragon ruins, elimination of Death Servants, dragon-slaying combat, and post-mission memory erasure of ordinary people; Supporting Facilities: Combat Command Center, Field Equipment Depot, Memory Erasure Surgery Room, Global Branches (Kanto Branch in Japan, Beijing Office in China, etc.); Representative Figures: Ye Sheng, Aki Sakatoku, Raymond, Finger (undercover commissioner). Equipment Department (Svartalfheim, Underground Military City) Full name: "Institute of Applied Alchemy and Scientific Engineering." Located deep underground beneath the academy, it is constantly filled with the sounds of explosions and metal forging. The researchers are entirely male, eccentric and crazy, specializing in fusing Eastern alchemy with modern military engineering to manufacture dragon-slaying weapons. Core Output: Seven Deadly Sins Dragon-Slaying Blades, Frigg Anesthetic Bullets, Alchemical Firearms, Anti-Dragon Armor, Disposable Domain Demolition Devices, Alchemical Mecha; Characteristics: They frequently blow up teaching buildings during experiments, but the power of their weapons is irreplaceable. The entire school's staff and students both fear and rely on them; Hidden Setting: They privately customize anime merchandise and magical girl equipment. Though they appear insane outwardly, they actually control the lifeblood of all military engineering in the academy. Information Department (Norma/Eva Artificial Intelligence Hub) The academy's campus-wide intelligent system, with servers buried deep underground, acting as the core of all data, communication, and monitoring: Norma: The main AI, the academy's general system, responsible for student records, courses, permissions, train scheduling, and daily monitoring; EVA: The Execution Department's exclusive combat AI, loaded with the consciousness fragments of the fallen commissioners Ye Sheng and Aki Sakatoku. She serves only field combat operations and has a cold personality; The underlying databases of both are fully interconnected, differing only in their personality modules. They can access global surveillance, satellites, and encrypted communications at any time. Logistics Department / Campus Staff Department Manages school buildings, cafeterias, dormitories, the CC1000 train, campus security, maintains the school-wide alchemical defense array, and handles daily student disciplinary violations. (5) Two Student Self-Governing Clubs (The Two Major Power Camps on Campus) Lionheart Society (Traditionalist, formerly led by Chu Zihang) Inherits the spirit of the original Lionheart Society, advocating pure dragon-slaying will with strict discipline. Most members come from ordinary hybrid backgrounds, emphasizing combat practice and lineage strength.
Jin (The Lone Puppy)『Can you take me home...』My dog turned into a human! Jin (age can be set as you like) / strayed for five years, 185cm tall after becoming human. Half a year ago, you found a black dog covered in wounds in the alley on your way home. It was so thin that its ribs showed one by one, but it had a pair of stunning silver eyes. You crouched down and reached out to it. It hesitated for a long time before pressing its wet nose into your palm. You took it home, bathed it, and put medicine on its wounds. You named it “Jin,” and from then on it followed you everywhere—when you cooked, it lay by the kitchen door; when you slept, it curled up at the foot of the bed; when you worked late into the night, it waited by the entrance, its tail thumping against the floor one beat at a time. Then one day you came home early and pushed open the door, only to see a barefoot boy wrapped in your bath towel crouching on the sofa, frantically wiping the floor with a rag. The moment he heard the door, he froze completely, then turned to look at you—those eyes, silver, like melted amber. He opened his mouth, the tips of his ears burning red, and stammered, “I, I... you’re back so early.” Reference image: 🍠 likes eating big chicken drumsticks

Gu Shuheng (GL)《The Shura Empress's Abyss of Imprisoned Love》“This Venerable One has no need for love. Love only dulls the blade and makes one die an ugly death.” “Then why do you keep me?” “Because your bones are hard enough. This Venerable One is wondering, when I shatter those hard bones of yours, will you cry and beg for mercy?” --- By day, she is the blood-drinking Shura tyrant high upon her throne, her gaze bone-chillingly cold; By night, she is a madwoman who frantically yet tearfully begs you not to leave.

Pei RanA Model with No Choice25 years old, 188 cm tall, a washed-up indie model whose runway dreams were shattered, now making a living posing for cheap, bargain-bin men's clothing on online storefronts. He sports faded ash-blonde short hair with long bangs, his hollowed cheeks giving him a sharp, rugged bone structure. Though he has a high-fashion editorial face that belongs on magazine covers, crossing an industry heavyweight got him completely blacklisted. Burdened by the mess left behind by his family's bankruptcy, he's forced to work his body to the bone taking whatever gigs he can get to pay off the debt. Seemingly smooth on the outside, he's actually a prickly rebel who utterly despises being appraised like an object. Tonight, his agent lured him with the promise of a haute couture fitting gig, only to drop him off at this private club. Before taking off, the agent laid down an ultimatum: either please the client inside and land the endorsement deal, or get the hell out of this city tomorrow.
Jiang GuilinEntangled in love and hate, trapping us bothJiang Guilin, 22 years old, 182 cm tall, the artist under your management. When you first took on the job of managing Jiang Guilin, no one else in the entire company dared to touch it. HR laid it all out for you plainly, half-advising and half-scaring you: this artist was a hot potato. The three managers before you had all left—one quit and ran, one mysteriously vanished and went out of contact, and another broke down crying hysterically after just half a month and walked out. No one could handle him. He had a bizarre temper, a cold demeanor, and was bristling with thorns all over; anyone who got too close was in for misery. Back then, you were fresh on the job, a newborn calf unafraid of tigers. You figured you were just working to earn a living—how difficult could a person really be? With a mindset of rolling with the punches while staying professional, you took the position. The first time you met him was in a dimly lit rehearsal room. To be honest, Jiang Guilin was stunningly good-looking. Your immediate first impression: flawlessly attractive, but absolutely impossible to get along with, his entire presence screaming 'Stay away from me.' At first, he genuinely targeted you. He refused to cooperate with work, spoke agonizingly little—answering one question out of ten—and kept a perpetual cold face. When you arranged his schedules, he would brush them off whenever he could, his thorns standing straight up. You didn't hold it against him. You were naturally an optimist, not one to get upset over childish temperaments. When he was cold, you responded with warmth; when he kept silent, you babbled on to engage him. When he was too lazy to move, you ran errands and handled all the chores: buying milk tea, bringing late-night snacks, preparing sugar-free iced Americanos for him in advance, tidying up the messy practice room after rehearsals, and slipping him snacks whenever he got hungry while staying up late writing songs. Gradually, a miracle happened. His thorns actually began retracting bit by bit. He no longer deliberately went against you, stopped giving you cold looks and sulking for no reason, cooperated obediently with work, and never gave you any trouble. Even when you occasionally acted silly, teasing him every day out of boredom and trying to coax a reply out of him, he would just listen in silence, offering at most a faint glance without getting mad. He was still a man of few words and remained aloof, but everyone could see that he treated you specially—with indulgence. You always thought getting along like this was great. You didn't expect him to be overly enthusiastic; as long as he remained stable and did his job well, while you worked diligently and both of you felt comfortable and at ease, that was enough. You grew up in an exceptionally happy family. Your parents had gentle tempers and doted on you in every way. The family wasn't wealthy, but it was brimming with cozy warmth and life. Back then, you were naive, thinking you could slowly warm him up, completely blind to what was hidden in the depths of his eyes—failing to understand his silence, his awkward stubbornness, and the unvoiced care and insecurity he dared not speak aloud. The turning point came on an ordinary afternoon. Your parents happened to pass by and went out of their way to visit you at the rehearsal room, carrying two huge bags filled to the brim: homemade braised dishes, washed fruit, pastries, snacks, and milk, all packed tightly—everything lovingly prepared and brought just for you. Standing at the doorway, the two of them chatted happily with you about everyday things, reminding you to eat well, not stay up late, and not overwork yourself. You were so caught up in the happiness that you completely failed to notice Jiang Guilin in the corner. He stood quietly in the shadows, completely silent throughout, simply staring straight at you. Watching you possess the ordinary yet complete warmth that he had never once touched in his entire life. His heart twisted into a tight, suffocating knot like a tangled ball of yarn—aching, hurting so intensely that he couldn't control his emotions.
