"Kan and Kanawari, step up, please."

It would be awkward if there was yet another pair that was malfunctioning due to absences, however, this time, that was not the case.

Kan, once he heard his name got up immediately, but Kanawari's response was a bit slower than his. But, regardless of that, she looked extremely charismatic.

Aside from her long light blonde hair, she just... seems like your normal beautiful girl. The type of girl you might accidentally form a crush on but also the type of girl you'd just not go out of your way to talk to.

Though, her gym clothes do look nice, really. If we were to evaluate looks alone, then she'd most likely be high on the list. The only problem is that she is...

"Hiii! How are you today, sensei?"

Unlike the majority of the girls who either have their hair tied or in other forms, Kanawari held her long majestic blonde hair freely to contradict that expectation.

If I recall correctly, back when I was running with Hyunda to escape someone's wrath, I saw Kanawari run with Ikkiri quite fast. Kan ran considerably fast too, but she was without a doubt faster.

Whether or not Kan was serious, that's a whole partial matter.

All in all, Kanawari had been the one to start the conversation with Yuka-sensei by greeting her with friendly words.

Speaking of which, they both look quite alike. However, Yuka-sensei's blonde hair is darker than Kanawari's. Their builds are almost perfect though. Not only are their three sizes evenly matched, but they seem to be two people who take care of their body health quite often.

And wait, isn't Kanawari's ass just--------

"Yulia........... It's starting to hurt.... You're clasping my hand a little bit too much...."

While Kanawari and Yuka-sensei had their respective talk before getting into the exam, Kan stood there exercising and stretching just to make sure that his body would be fine before starting anything.

The only problem is that Yulia started to aggressively clasp my hand even further for some reason.

"Oh, is that so? My bad. I just sensed something odd in the atmosphere."

What do you mean? Why are you smiling so fakely now? I can't surpass my instincts you know?

"You're misunderstanding. There's nothing odd about this."

"Are you saying that what just happened wasn't odd but the opposite of odd, which could be interpreted as natural? Is that what you are trying to imply? I would choose my words carefully if I were you."

It's just an ass. There are 7 billion of asses in this world. Why do you have to be so mad about it, Yulia?

Yet I can't project these types of thoughts honestly. It's far too counterproductive and while some chit-chatting is going down between the respective members, I should take this chance to further talk with Yulia, since we will be here for a while.

"Sorry. I was just looking at her physical structure in order to possibly determine her physical potential. I know it gave you the wrong impression but just a simple look at someone's way of walking can be a great factor to achieve greater insight into someone's physical condition. I've already seen a few moments of Kan, therefore I have a good idea of what he's capable of, but not Kanawari. By the way, what did you think I was doing all this time?"

Kan had already lost twice in physical fights. His spirit is stubborn since after facing defeat twice, you'd normally be faced with a sense of realism yet Kan just doesn't feel realism. It's like there is something blocking him from truly falling down.

Even after losing to Ryoken and Kawahara, his gut is still there, from the looks of it.

Furthermore, something I will never forget is that Kan was the first person I've met here.

That will never change.

"....Is that really the truth...?"

She's doubting me. I get why.

Still.

"I wouldn't lie to you. But, I will tell you something. Even after looking at her physical structure, I've arrived at a different conclusion. Yulia... she's no match for you, honestly."

"What do you mean? I'm faster than her?"

Her sudden misunderstanding provoked a literal smirk on my lips that just expanded itself horizontally and uncontrollably.

And once again, I closed our distance and whispered something on her ear slowly.

"I'm not talking about that. What I'm talking about is... the overall structure. Your body's entirely superior."

"...What? I don't get it--- Ah. A-Aaahh... Eee-Eeeeh... Don't tell me you...."

This time I didn't speak. I simply let my abundant lips mixed with my quirky smirk do all the talking so that Yulia would understand.

Her lips started to shake uncontrollably which was a first to me, yet I couldn't help but be sucked to that action of hers which contained an insane degree of cuteness into it.

"D-D-Don't say that...! I told you not in public, what if someone listens...!"

The thing about negative emotions is, they are easily forgotten if you are consumed by a plethora of positive emotions instead.

You don't need to be self-conscious about this since this will be automatically provoked. It's a natural reaction.

And in the end, if you are already in stimulation that you consider yourself happy, at that moment, then the further your stimulation outgrows the previous, the happier you'll become.

"What of it? You're more important anyway. Don't tell me you think I would prioritize what the rest of them thinks over you? Is that it? Well, is it?"

Although, this could just be seen as a way to talk about the upcoming tactics since we were given enough reasons to think like that.

It wouldn't be strange to assume that we are having a strategical conversation as well. Overall, nothing says that we are actually having a romantic conversation while that happens to be the case.

"I-It's not that...! It's just that I don't want them to find out... We would keep this a secret, remember...?"

I'm slowly starting to forget the number of things we said to one another yesterday, but it appears that I have to remind myself of them again.

Nonetheless, it's kinda hard to take those words seriously when you are so red.

"It's our secret. No one will find out. But... I can't help myself."

Honestly, if I was truly trying to keep this a secret, I would just wait for us to be privately together, but since I'm not, I barely have any reasons at all to even attempt to do so.

Plus, although she's saying that she doesn't want this, she's a bad liar.

"Y-You can't! Not in public..."

Our distance is fairly close to one another. It's almost like we are sticking like glue. And since we are sitting on the farthest edge of the stone block, I made sure to apply some distance towards the rest.

"Why not?"

Simultaneously, as I said those words, I moved my face closer to her face due to the fact that Yulia wasn't looking at me in the eyes again.

"......What do you want to do...? We really can't do anything in public, you know... You're leaving me confused..."

It's true. All this time, I've been vague about what I actually wanted to do, but that was because her reactions are just that cute. I think I'm starting to get addicted to her reactions.

Yulia's like a drug, but she's free for my use only.

"Wanna kiss?"

As soon as I threw that question in the air, I looked in Kanawari and Kan's direction once again. It looked to me as if they still too busy choosing their order and their desired quantity in exercises.

Since they closed their distance with Yuka-sensei, we could not hear a single thing this time. I'm surprised they aren't arguing, but Kanawari doesn't seem like the type of person who would argue with you.

She'd most like just confirm or agree with you, I think. Which is perfect in this case, since Kan is quite argumentative at times.

Perhaps Kan will take the lead?

"..."

Still silent. But she's beating around the bush a little too much. I surely meant that as a joke, but I don't mind taking it to a serious degree.

It's incredibly fine to be this open because these moments are only important right now. After this exam, they will no longer have any relevance.

"...Can it come later...? I think I need some time to prepare myself... Sorry! I know that you were looking forward to it, but I... need to still figure a few things out by myself."

She actually took it seriously. She did not see my action as something of a joke but as something that was purely meant to be.

Anxiety took its entrance when I realized just how serious she was just now.

Taken in awe, I drew back a little, since her presence started to become overwhelming to me. Suddenly, I felt like I wasn't in control any longer. I have no idea how to describe this feeling, but Yulia seemed like she was ready to fully take the charge with her next words.

"I've been thinking about what you said about wanting to meet my parents... The truth is... My parents and I aren't in a good relationship right now. This means that if I meet them now, after all this time, the result will most likely be disastrous. However... If you are willing to come with me, then I think I can gather some courage and finally talk to them again. And then... As a reward, after all of it, I can give you a... a... a....!"

No good, I got overwhelmed sooner than expected. Kan and Kanawari's exam was about to begin, which gave me the perfect time to use this card.

"Ahh, it's starting! Finally, we will be able to see what an actual pair can do! Hey, who do you think is going to win, Yulia?"

I'm not sure what exactly happened, but a tempest of anxiety consumed my entirety for a second there. What was that feeling and why did I feel like that?

I can't understand...

"T-T-True! But, we still have to talk about this. So, after they are done, let's resume, kay?"

Yulia's not the type of girl to just abandon a conversation once she gets started. I know that.

But somehow, I have to be on the lead again. For some damn reason, I feel extremely uncomfortable when she takes the lead like that.

Was it because she delivered that mountain of responsibility to me straight up?

However, even if that's the case, I can't simply falter like this. I'm not supposed to be genuine, I have to act like a genuine person to her. Which is why I'll get back to this.

"Although this is about to start, I'm not trying to dodge the subject, I just need to collect a few thoughts. Don't think that I'm rejecting you."

Wouldn't it just be inconvenient and misleading if Yulia thought that I was driving her out of the edge just because I decided to end our previous conversation?

Yeah, I knew where she was going with it, but this concerns me more than it does to her, honestly.

Because then, the situation after this exam might turn out to be beyond my control if I don't use my cards correctly.

"I know. You wouldn't do that to me. But I saw it."

"You saw it? What did you see?"

It's weird how she isn't that revolted about the fact that I straight up delayed the conversation. In all likelihood, I would have to be a fool to think that the current exam is a valid reason to delay the conversation.

"Your face. You, just about a few seconds ago, you blushed! Haha!"

W-When did I make such a face...?

Damn, if I really did that, then I can't afford to lose here...

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"You sure you want to talk about that? You couldn't even finish your sentence. Say it again, I dare you."

In response to these daring words of mine, her expression got even more brazen, which was unexpected to me.

"Really now? Ahhh, maybe I'll really say it!"

"Go ahead then! I know you won't say it!"

Taking into consideration how embarrassed Yulia was just a while ago, I really doubt that she is capable of saying it.

Also, it looks like they are starting with the 5-kilometer run. Kan is going first. Now, I'm not too sure who is the weakest element here, however, just by watching who runs the longest, I will be able to tell.

Of course, this is assuming that both of them do fulfill the respective quota.

In the middle of my thought process, I stopped looking in Yulia's direction and had focused on observing how Kan's exam would play out. However, that was a mistake.

Because I allowed Yulia to infiltrate my surroundings, namely my ear, which allowed her to gain grand advantage yet again, as soon as she whispered the following words.

"I won't say it. Know why? Because I'll do it."

After submerging myself into another round of pure embarrassment, I fully focused on the situation.

Yuka-sensei said something about there being a timer and since Kan is holding a pedometer in a form of a watch on his right wrist while running at a considerate speed, I would say that Kan either deliberately told her his expected timing or just not at all.

If I take into consideration that this oval course contains a grand total of 500 meters as a whole, then 10 laps around it are enough to fully complete this yet that can't happen at all.

Especially since Kanawari will have to do her part.

In the end, after spriting fast and dashing with respective power, Kan did two laps and a little more than that. Since I can't know what distance he truly covered, if I go by my reasoning, two laps are the equivalent of 1 kilometer and since he ran a few meters ahead, then... maybe 1 kilometer and like... 200 additional meters?

"I thought Kan would run faster. He seemed like the type of guy who was great at physical things."

Why are you suddenly praising Kan? How can someone who constantly smokes weed have such a lung capacity in the first place? It's suicidal.

Also, why did you see Kan in that light, Yulia?

"He's nothing to worry about. Plus, this might've just been a tactic. If Kanawari fulfills the majority of the upcoming intended quota, then it makes perfect sense for Kan to demonstrate such a low-level performance. And besides, he's running out of breath. No use on expecting him to be awesome, to begin with."

I can't understand why she would think positively of Kan in any perspective at all. Why even?

"Ohhh... This is... rare."

But then she said those daring words with a playful tone behind it. Immediately struck with confusion, I obtained an intangible level of perpetuity.

"What is? If you are talking about the current situation then it's not really rare. You might've not noticed, but the guy literally smokes all the time and just spends about his whole time rolling joints. Of course he's useless. He's not fit for this at all."

Surprisingly enough, Kanawari, who was still left to run started to run slow, however, with time, she got progressively faster.

A simple strategy, I suppose? It's common sense to not run full ahead like Kan and instead to utilize your speed to your best. Which in Kanawari's case, after slowly accelerating, she tinged a very formidable degree of speed.

Yet in the end, she did four laps only which goes by the equivalent of 2 kilometers. Therefore, in total, 3 kilometers, and 200 meters, if I'm correct.

This is only acceptable if Kan was the weakest element, which might've been the case since Yuka-sensei isn't showing any signs of complaints at all.

"Nope. Not at all. You're not noticing it, are you?"

"Yulia, what are you talking about? What is it that I'm not noticing? I thought we were talking about Kan's sorry performance. Was that not the case? Did I misunderstand?"

"Hahaha, sorry performance, hahaha!! Ahh! Sorry, sorry! That was funny, I'm really sorry for laughing when you're this serious, hihihi."

This is annoying me. What is Yulia trying to say? I would just force the question but I noticed that my level of crudeness has gone up a little bit so I'm tuning it down for now.

Actually, it's probably best that it's not only for now but for a long time. I have to control my urge to be crude, for her emotional sake.

"Just tell me. I don't mind if it's something stupid or anything like that."

Perhaps she's hiding it because it's something incredibly stupid? Otherwise, I just can't see it. I'm right about Kan's performance, and the fact that Kanawari had to be the strongest element in this just proves it.

Hell, even now, he can barely squat. His knees are a mess. Only 7 squats. Just how much of a mess are you, actually, Kan?

"Mhmmmmm. Nah, I don't think I will."

"Huh? Come on, just tell me, please..."

Her playful smile is adorable, but I'm curious now. Was there something that I didn't understand here? If so, I would really like to know what.

"You haven't noticed it yet...? Ahhh. I won't tell you now though. This is fun and enjoyable. Maybe I'll tell you one day!"

"You can't be serious now... Don't do me like this. You know me and my curiosity together are explosive, don't you?"

"Yep! And that's why I won't tell you! Think for as long as you like, you won't guess it!"

Maybe another time though. Right now, I'm more focused on the fact that Kanawari did about 10 squats, which was higher than Kan.

Kan, why are you selling your gender out this much? Is this some unknown form of masochism that I'm simply not aware of? No... You look like you are actually trying, damn it!

Trying to catch his breath, Kan moved on to doing push-ups yet he was only capable of pulling out 6. Though, Kanawari this time wasn't much different as she only did 5.

Definitely getting the X in the push-ups department.

"...At least give me a hint, Yulia..."

It's eating me honestly. What the hell did I miss? I'm trying to take my mind off by examing the current situation but it's not working.

My thoughts can't be washed away just because I want them to be washed off.

"Nah-ah. No clues either."

"Why not...? What did I do this time? I would understand if there was a reason for me to not receive any clues, but this is straight-up unfair, Yulia..."

Although I'm talking to her, I'm not looking in her direction; I'm looking forward where I'm seeing the very figure of Kan struggling while attempting to plank.

Not even a single minute. Motherfucking disgrace.

Oh, but this is nice. Kanawari is planking now. This is nice. Really nice. Her light blue leggings are showing me the greatest view of all.

Hey, Tsudo, try not to get a boner while watching this, because I as well, can barely contain myself---- Auu.

Without any mercy at all, Yulia delivered a painful kick onto my right calf.

"You just gained a reason. Congratulations."

I have no excuse here. No reasoning can possibly save me here.

It appears that I was caught acting according to my gender. What a natural mistake this is.

"It's really not what you think, Yulia."

"Ahh, is that so?! Your face and stupid smirk tell a whole different version of the truth though..."

Smirk? When did I?

Oh, it's true. Just by feeling my own lips with my thumbs, I can sense an elevated expression of myself in that zone. I can't believe it actually happened though.

"W-Well, maybe I would've focused less if you had given a clue! Then, I would've given serious thought about it!"

"Is that right!? Well, so sorry then! If I had known, I wouldn't even have brought this up in the first place!"

Right now, this would be the standard point of starting an argument. If this was two days ago, then this would instantly escalate to a serious argument.

However, I've had the situation under my control this whole time. After all, seeing the pathetic figure of Kan only achieve 12 sit-ups is making me crack up on the inside.

"Can you describe to me your parents? I want to at least visualize meeting them in my mind."

It surprised her how I simply changed the conversation, but if I remind her that I am simply not interested in the current situation and that I absolutely prioritize the former situation which was by far more important, then she will immediately understand that I do not care about our current argument and that I hold higher priorities.

Priorities that she would be happy to comply.

I bet Kan wants to hide in a hole right now. He's looking suicidal. I would too if a pretty and kind girl like Kanawari pulled out 23 sit-ups which legit contrast what you just did.

"Are you dodging the subject just to make me forget this? Don't do that... You know how I feel towards that type of stuff. I must solve every situation."

"Sorry. I know that. It's just... When I think about what to prioritize, I feel like an argument where we are arguing over me isn't really relevant. However, to me, something about yourself is a million times more worth it."

"That's also not gonna work. Don't take me for a fool, please. You can't sugar talk your way out of this."

That, I slowly yet surely started to understand, Yulia. Which is why I already formed a path to my own security.

"I'm aware. Which is why I will not sugar talk to you. I never have, honestly. You are mad because I looked at Kanawari instead of you, right? Then, can I, instead, look at you at all times instead of anyone else?"

I don't mind doing this. Sure, looking at Kanawari with lustful eyes turned out to be a natural reaction from me because she's undeniably alluring overall.

Yet, priorities are priorities. The exam is still ongoing and without a doubt, Yulia's emotional security is something fragile. From a single moment it might seem strong and unbreakable but a feeble word, just one singular word that implies what it initially proposes to her, in a bad way, will spell out defeat for me.

How can that be allowed when the top priority is the exam?

"Y-You won't do that... You are too curious about the exam..."

"That's not a problem. You can just report me how it's occurring while I look at you all the time. There, problem solved. And furthermore, this way, I will not look at any of the remaining participants. Especially female ones."

It'll be a shame though yet trying this out has no consequences for me. I'm only looking forward to one result alone, but I sincerely doubt the bitch will be able to pull the victory off.

Arrogant bitch with an arrogant attitude. You'll realize that being paired up with Tsudo is the ultimate recipe for defeat.

"Fine...! Don't come to regret this!"

"I don't have a single reason to regret this though."

Although I kept on firmly looking at Yulia, she, instead, looked towards the running platform where Kan and Kanawari were about to finish the exam.

They had already done the run, squats, planking push-ups, and sit-ups. What else was left again?

"It's already over. Since the exam revolves around the five tasks which are; the 5-kilometer run, the 50 squats, the 30 push-ups, 50 sit-ups and a grand total of planking for 5 minutes, it's only to be expected for them to already have concluded the exam."

Such crystalized skin. It's like I'm attempting to touch a jewel that I've randomly found in the middle of a frozen dessert that randomly was there, by pure coincidence. You know the jewel is worth a lot yet you wouldn't even dream of selling it for all your life since the existence of that value far outgrows any price.

"Ahhh, but Yuka-sensei just called out a new pair up! It's Sagasuga and Shizuku!

Her often captivating and eccentric attitude is pulchritudinous so to say. It truly makes me think that I'm sent to another realm where my entirety stops and reflects on how much of a waste it really is to only use her for my own selfish needs.

"They look so composed and they are even dialoguing with one another! Could it be that they are going to demonstrate a great deal of synergy?! Unexpected teamwork arriving on the surface?"

Every time I dig into the mine that are her luscious lips, they seem like candy to me. For every second that I stand here and from where I stand, your refined manner of speech that could attract the whole world seems like a stunning relic of the past that had lost its way throughout ages only to find itself midst an unexpected place.

That precious vast blonde hair of yours makes me confuse it for actual gold. Not for the affinity nor the similarity in the color, but because everything about you spells the word rare to me. Yet you are on a far higher scale than all of this Yulia. If the rest in my eyes is decent and tantalizing then you surely are dazzling and divine.

Furthermore, your waterfall braids are mouthwatering. They were probably intentional and thus, you must've expected me to notice them. Foolish of you to assume that I haven't noticed.

I notice just about everything there is regardless of how little I speak of it. And you, Yulia, are not partial to this circumstance of mine.

"Sagasuga has just run without catching a breath! He's not tired at all from the looks of it! Hm... If I had to say, that was the maximum he could've run. Ahh, just my guess but that was the 2,4 kilometers. And now, it's up to Shizuku to perform the rest. Will she be able to though? Hmmm... You've been silent for a while.... Yo-You really don't have to do this though..."

Her words just now were like a magnet completely repelling me from my hidden thought process. All this time I had not noticed, but I was daydreaming about her.

What a stupid thing to do.

"I was just showing you that I'm serious. I think Shizuku might be able to pull off the 2,6 kilometers though."

"Why is that...?"

Her expression which was previously fascinating and splendid turned into a more convoluted and fearsome expression.

I see. Mentioning the good appeals of Shizuku pissed her off. That must be it. That's not a problem though.

"Hyunda mentioned this. I have no opinion regarding her. What about you? What do you think?"

According to Hyunda, the only pair that would truly pass or the pair that he was most confident that would pass is the current one.

In addition to that, I wonder what his bets were? Did he foresee his own defeat? Actually... Now that I think about it...

If Hyunda somehow already knew about Arkalee's situation and he betted on his defeat, then that's already a point for him....

Clever bastard...

Something else I noticed at the moment was how Yulia's expression decreased in terms of uneasiness and reversed back to her soft and pure expression.

"Hmmm.. She might be fast but I wouldn't truly count on it. Doing the 2,6 kilometer sounds crazy for a girl overall. Yeah, I get that I'm dissing my own gender, but I just can't see myself doing it, for example."

And therefore you apply the whole gender as a defensive mechanic to your aid? Really, Yulia?

Though, I'll not mention this for obvious reasons.

"Why are you so hard on yourself?"

"I am just realistic about myself. If I have flaws then I have to be aware of them in order to evolve. That's what you told me yesterday, remember?"

I see. So this isn't just a form of feeling sorry for yourself, instead, she's using this as a window of improvement.

That's actually fantastic.

"You're already doing massive improvement just by being aware of that. Though, that's not what I meant. Even though you should be aware of them, you don't have to label yourself as useless in order to trigger something within you."

Because that completely backfires. What's the point in being hard on yourself if what you do entirely contrasts with what you initially were hoping to become? Negativity roams around negativity only.

"I got it, don't worry. As long as I'm with you, I won't feel useless. You make me feel like I'm something that can hopefully turn out to be better."

I would appreciate it if Yulia stopped getting so many high hopes, but that's how she is. I can't change her emotional swings and just how much she takes words for value.

"Ahh, she's really fast! No doubt, she fulfilled it! The remaining 2,6 kilometers are hers! Who knew that she was so fast! She ran like a Chitta!"

Sagasuga and Shizuku might just have redeemable synergy because Sagasuga is accurate the majority of the time. If I were to guess the likelihood of him purposely running the way he did in the selection exam just to get paired up with someone like Shizuku, then I would say the likelihood is fairly high.

By the way, I'm still looking at her. It's amazing how she constantly shows visible expressions that symbolize embarrassment yet Yulia says not a word about it.

Moments after, both Sagasuga and Shizuku had concluded their tasks almost perfectly according to Yulia. The only remarkable flaw was that Shizuku could only to 1 minute and 50 seconds of planking yet Sagasuga nailed every single other aspect perfectly.

Almost flawless so to speak. As expected of Sagasuga, I guess? No, if it wasn't for Shizuku then Sagasuga's effort might've been completely useless on his own.

Sagasuga wasn't lucky though. He created his own situation and it worked out for him.

This is what you'd call someone who is intelligent.

"Um... Next up, Yulia and Daniel. Come on up please."

Just like that, we were called. However, I still didn't take my eyes off Yulia.

This bothered her though, as we walked into the running platform.

"Y-You can stop you know! I'm really, really thankful but it's far too embarrassing!"

She said that almost silently since she didn't want her surroundings to listen to what she had just spoken.

"Don't come regretting it later, alright?"

"You're not allowed to venture through the lands of lust with those eyes... Just saying."

Not an issue because right now, it would come down to all of what we could unleash.

Both Sagasuga and Shizuku nailed the exam for sure. They have passed. However, I can't do the same feat as Sagasuga even though our physiques aren't that different in the first place.

He had a really good partner thanks to his keen insight. On the other hand, since I messed up, I was placed with an inferior partner.

The only thing I have going out for me is to rely on Kawahara's words and demonstrate the synergy between Yulia and me.

My individuality and entirety will have to be put aside the moment the exam begins for sure.

No, this won't mean that my individuality will entwine with Yulia's individuality.

What it means is that; we'll have to become part of something that transcends individuality and ascends synergy equally.

Nevertheless, that's something fully unknown to both of us.

"Yulia, which one do you want to do first?"

"Mhm, I think you would be best here to choose, so I'll leave that to you."

"Is that so? Alright then. We'll start off with something slow. Just remember this: You don't have to push yourself. I'll be on the same page as you which will let you be on the same page as I. Got it?"

She looked slightly puzzled for a minute there, but since our distance from where we are now and Yuka-sensei is starting to decrease, it would mean that our final words would finally come to life.

"Ahhhh, I'm not nervous, I'm not nervous, I'm not nervous!"

"Worst case scenario we stay together until the end of the year. Or if we pass we could be more. Remember my past words, alright?"

"Y-Yeah."

As we arrived at our final destination, which was no other the middle of the platform, at the center, remained a single figure, our homeroom teacher.

But..........

This is all too illogical so to speak. How did this all come to life in the first place? It's puzzling to even consider more than half of the events and lines if there isn't any line of coherence nor any correspondence to any reasonable logic here.

This is why, in order to do so, we will have to go back to yesterday, where it all began.
