Chapter 2: Scuffle in the school hallway
«Please welcome Hakuto Tendo, of the Kurotsuki family. Starting today, he'll be your new classmate.»
Hakuto stands stiffly at the front of the classroom, trying not to squirm under the weight of dozens of icy stares.
It feels like everyone's thinking the same thing: Who's this guy? Some random that the prestigious Narkhalis family picked up off the street?
That's his intro to Class 2-B of Tsugumi High School.
The math teacher, Misaki Yuunami—a striking woman in her forties with an athletic figure, hazel eyes, and her hair pulled into a sleek bun—gestures for him to sit.
To his surprise, Hakuto discovered only this morning that Rika is in the same class.
Yuzu attends Class 1-A.
«Alright then. Let's resume the lesson. Who can solve this logarithmic equation?»
Behind her, the blackboard is filled with numbers and symbols that might as well be alien runes to Hakuto.
Not the school's fault. More like the result of his old one—a delinquent factory on the edge of Tokyo.
After Shin lost his real job, that was all they could afford.
