<i>Tadano was not at all scared by the girl's sudden change. Instead, he was closer to pleasantly surprised, because it didn't seem like she was the fragile, gentle girl type. With a slight blush on his cheeks after being looked at with such an intense gaze, he only had one thing to say.</i> &quot;Noted!&quot; <i>[He lowkey pouts as he kept his voice down for the moment before returning to his ample smile and joyful tone.]</i> &quot;The Student Council office...? Wasn't that in front of the Teacher's... alright, I know where to go to now! But, even then... is there anything you two would recommend? Besides flowers, I mean. I would rather have an idea now before class starts!&quot;

&quot;Woodworking doesn't sound too useful, unless I decided to move to the countryside or something like that, buuuuut I'm not for that life! The nightlife of the city calls-&quot; <i>He would look over, interrupting himself the moment Sen leaves the council room and directs her gaze to the teacher. He would keep both eyes widen open without blinking, noticing her black hair, and then the outright cold shoulder she was giving him. It made his cheeks go red for a second there.</i> &quot;I uuh...&quot; <i>&quot;Did she just say first year!? Okay, let's get showy.&quot; He would smile and point at himself with his right thumb.</i> &quot;Name's Tadano Kubo, a first-year transfer student straight outta Shujin! Nice to meet you! <i>He bows at Sen.</i> &quot;I was looking over the clubs to join and... I was looking for something practical, like debate or even sports! But Sumeragi-sensei here was telling me about this... occult club she supervises.&quot; <i>He laughs quietly, pressing his hands against his hip, dropping his head and shaking his head.</i> &quot;Still don't know what's up with that, it's a weird idea. Whoever came up with that one has to be a weirdo... and woodworking too for that matter! The only thing that could beat that is… something like a roleplay club!&quot;

&quot;Yakuza? What are you even-&quot; <i>[Tadano would stop dead on his tracks when the cute girl appeared in front of him. He wasn't scared at all, merely surprised. It wasn't like he was paying much attention to where it was he was going, at all. This was Nanaka Tokiwa. Before speaking, he would take a deep breath.]</i> &quot;I'm a first-year student, my name is Tadano Kubo, it's a pleasure to meet you!&quot; <i>He points at himself with his right thumb while holding a side grin before bowing. He would stand straight right after, maintaining his carefree smile. He wanted to tell the teacher she was being too direct about things, but it couldn’t be helped.</i> &quot;I recently transferred here, and I wanted to say... hey! I couldn't stop myself. Most of my classmates would name drop you from time to time and say a lot of things, so I got curious!&quot;

&quot;A debate club? Now that sounds nice, very nice! See you later, Tokiwa-san!&quot; <i>He didn't have much else to say besides goodbye. It's true, time was running out and he wanted to get this over with. Then again... maybe the teacher was scarier than she showed to be, watching an adult be so happy was a sight to behold. That said, he would put back the candy inside his pocket, following the teacher.</i> &quot;Say, do you know anyone that's from the student council? I heard that one of the members was from first year but I'm not so sure. Actually, I don't think I've heard anything about them!&quot;

&quot;Me? Tadano Kubo.&quot; <i>He said while point at himself, standing up along with the teacher, Emi. Tadano would smile without a single care in the world while also offering the woman a thumbs up.</i> &quot;If you don't see me around much it's because I just joined. Last High School I was in was Shujin, but they were all too wild and noisy! Totally not my style!&quot; <i>He points at himself again for emphasis before dropping both arms and pressing his hands against his waist. He stayed like that while looking up, remembering a single thing inside his head. He remembers, snapping his fingers the name comebacks to him.</i> &quot;Ah! Right! You just implied you know more about the older students! Do you know of any...Nana...Nanaka, by any chance?&quot;

&quot;Whatever rumor you heard about Shujin, it's actually right! Not sure about the... Thieves' Heart one or whatever that one was all about...&quot; <i>In truth, he only had vague memories of whatever had happened a few years back with that entire supposed gang that was all the rage in Tokyo. It was funny to him how something so massive just went away like nothing.</i> &quot;Sensei, I don't believe in coincidences. If anything, it was probably fate, or that's what I like to think.&quot; <i>He crossed his arms while keeping a sly grin on his face, almost like he had just said the coolest thing he had thought all week.</i> &quot;Yes, from the third year! I heard from my class about Flower Girl! I'm just curious to meet her, that's all, honest!&quot; <i>Tadano kept his left arm pressed against his chest while lifting his right one with his index finger pointed up.</i> &quot;All I know is...! She's cute, she likes flowers, she gets near top scores and isn't even from the student council! What guy wouldn't want to meet someone like her? Err... I mean, to say hi from time to time...!&quot; <i>He rubbed the back of his head, fully focusing on the teacher rather than moving from one place to another.</i>

<i>Tadano would focus his yes on Nanaka, both on her face and then on the rest of her. Personally, he imagined something more... regular. Cold stare, long, black hair, pale as the moon and an equally icy attitude. Instead, he was in front of who was more like a flower in human form.</i> &quot;Not exactly, but I'm not complaining. That flower-arrangement class... it fits you a lot! I may consider joining it, but I still need to look through all the other clubs there are to pick.&quot; <i>The first-year would shrug.</i> &quot;Sensei, do you know where I could get a list with that? I don't ever have anything to do after class and everyone seems to be in a club already!&quot; <i>He was up for trying out anything, even learning about flowers. Most of all, he wanted to meet people around the school.</i>

<i>He was passing by when the teacher suddenly dropped all her things. First year student, Tadano Kubo could not possibly let this one pass. He quickly approached her and kneeled.</i> &quot;Sensei, you have to be more careful. People may get the wrong idea and start thinking you are not coolest of the teachers!&quot; <i>He reached out the nearest papers and started putting one over the other, making sure Emi was going to be alright. Luckily, Tadano was the first one to move and help, it was the perfect excuse to chat.</i> &quot;I still don't see how you could possibly drop it all, the floor is even.&quot;

&quot;Tokiwa-san, you speak of that style like it was Kendo... but I get it! I don't think I can fully understand how important it must be for you! So, if I join, I'll keep that in mind.&quot; <i>Tadano winks at Nanaka before resting his hands on both sides of his hip, quietly listening to what Emi had to say. He would look down and shake his head with disappointment having them both talk about the same club.</i> &quot;Boy oh boy, Occult huh? Not to be rude but that one sounds a bit lame, what do you even do there? I can't imagine it being different from something like a... videogame club or anime club. I probably... just don't get it, not my thing at all.&quot; <i>Finally, Tadano would let his arms drop, reaching into his pocket and taking out a candy. Strawberry flavored.</i> &quot;I'm more of a practical kind of guy. Unless I get to actually do something, I don't really enjoy myself!&quot; <i>He would then unwrap it and eat it. After that, he would reach into his pocket again and bring out two similar looking candies, one orange flavored and the other apple</i> &quot;Ah, do you guys want any? I always carry sweets with me.&quot;

&quot;Eh...? Something wrong...?&quot; <i>The first-year student would ask the teacher as he notices she starts acting weird. Then though, he thinks of what she said. It is strange he hadn't seen most people, and he has talk to a lot of them but couldn't remember their names. Tadano thinks this is just because he just met everyone. It has to be, right?</i> &quot;What!? I just got here, I could never be involved with any of that! Besides, I don't know a single member but... I could consider it.&quot; <i>He says, now near the area they first met at. As expected, the Student Council room would be right in front of the Teacher's Lounge. Right by the door, there's brochure after brochure. The eyes of the kid would light up as he quickens his pace to grab it.</i> &quot;There are too many clubs and extra classes here... I'll need some time to consider this all... by the way, Sensei. Are you in charge of any of these clubs?&quot;
