Chapter 21: A New Transfer Student And Gains
A week had passed since the devastating Spatial Quake that had left Raizen High in ruins. The reconstruction efforts had been swift, with the combined efforts of advanced technology and dedicated workers ensuring the school was ready to welcome students again.
Today however at Raizen High, the air in the classroom buzzed with curiosity as Okamine-sensei stood at the front, addressing the students with an excited tone.
"Everyone, let me introduce a transfer student."
The teacher gestured toward the doorway, and all eyes turned to the figure stepping inside.
The girl who entered had dark plum-colored hair tied in her usual loose style. Her confident stance was accentuated as she placed one hand on her hip, her other hand waving casually. With a wide, energetic smile, she introduced herself.
"My name is Yatogami Tohka! Nice to meet you all!"
Her cheerful voice resonated throughout the classroom, and her radiant energy seemed to brighten the mood instantly.
Sitting near the windows, Shido couldn't help but let out a small, helpless sigh as he glanced at her.
'Kotori really didn't waste any time with this' he thought, shaking his head slightly.
Though he already knew from the anime that this moment would come, experiencing it in person carried a strange sense of gravity.
Seeing Tohka stand there, unflinchingly cheerful and confident, made the whole situation feel surreal.
