Old student dormitory.

"Knock knock knock".

Xue Ranqiansha knocked on the dormitory door and shouted from outside.

"Hello!"

"Sorry, it's already underway. There are ten more paintings left, no, five more to finish."

The students inside the dormitory hurriedly explained to Xue Ranqiansha outside.

"Stop trying to explain, just come out already, Mitarai-kun!"

"Oh dear! There's no other way! It seems the only option is to escape through the window."

As he spoke, Ryota Mitarai prepared to jump out of the window.

However, after jumping out, Yukizome Chisa was caught because something was wrong with her.

"Hmm, oh? Weren't you just at the door?"

"Nice to meet you, Mitarai-kun. I'm your new teacher. Come back to class with me."

"Damn it~, I don't want to be locked up, I want to watch the evening program rebroadcast."

Yukizome Chisa ignored Mitarai Ryota and prepared to drag him back to the classroom.

"Alright, now there's only one student left."

Ryota Mitarai, the Ultimate Animator.

Hope's Peak Academy, 77th class.

Although he is a bit timid, he is a serious boy with a strong sense of justice, but he is also sometimes teased by his eccentric classmates.

——————

"This guy has absolutely no talent."

"His parents are idiots too."

"Mingming's family isn't very wealthy."

As Hajime Hinata, a student in the preparatory class, looked in the direction of the Hope's Peak Academy teaching building, he recalled the whispers and comments his classmates had made about him.

Just as Hinata Hajime was lost in thought, Nanami Chiaki, who was engrossed in the game while traveling, bumped into him.

With vacant eyes, Nanami Chiaki stared blankly at Hinata Hajime, whom she had bumped into.

Unable to bear such stares, Hyuga Hajime spoke first.

Are you alright?

"Um."

At that moment, Hyuga Hajime noticed the game that Nanami Chiaki was playing.

"Is it gyoro-w?"

"Hey, do you know this really old game?"

"Uh-huh!"

"This is a masterpiece! A super masterpiece!"

"Yes! I once completed the game five times in a row."

"Really!"

Yes, really!

"It would take me ten weeks to do that."

"Then you're better than me!"

"But I've never met anyone this amazing before, besides me."

"Hmm, it's not that amazing!"

Hinata Hajime felt embarrassed by the praise and scratched his head.

At that moment, a voice from afar interrupted the conversation between Hyuga Hajime and Nanami Chiaki.

"It's here!"

Yukizome Chisa was seen dragging Mitarashi Ryota along as they rushed towards Nanami Chiaki.

"You must be Nanami-kun!"

Xue Ranqiansha waved and greeted everyone as she walked.

"I am Yukizome Chisa, and I will be your teacher starting today."

Please give me your guidance!

Seeing the overly familiar teacher, Chiaki Nanami, who wasn't very good at socializing, simply nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

Yukizome Chisa also noticed Hinata Hajime standing next to Nanami Chiaki.

"Are you wearing a uniform because you're a preparatory student?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing the words "preparatory course," Chiaki Nanami began to have questions.

"Preparatory courses?"

"Didn't you know? The new department established last year can accept general students. The only downside is that the tuition is very expensive."

"Oh, I see!

While Yukizome Chisa was speaking, Mitarai Ryota prepared to sneak away.

However, Yukizome Chisa quickly noticed her when she turned around.

"Stop right there!"

"Alright! I'm determined to make a victorious escape. Oh! Why did you throw a dagger at me?"

"It's okay, I'll avoid your vital areas."

"That's not the problem!"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Seeing this, Hyuga Hajime said with some embarrassment.

"Undergraduate students are even more unruly than I imagined!"

"I thought it would be more of an elite style!"

"But you all do indeed possess extraordinary talents."

"If only I had talent too..."

Hajime Hyuga looked at his palm and said longingly.

After listening to Hinata Hajime's words, Nanami Chiaki, who had been playing video games, also spoke up.

"Even if you don't have talent, it's no big deal."

"Because that's not the goal."

"You are more free, that's true."

"All I have are games."

"But you can reach any level, and you can become anyone."

Even though Nanami Chiaki spoke in a very calm tone, Hinata Hajime could still sense her gentleness.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Yukizome Chisa dragged Mitarai Ryota, who had just escaped, back again.

Yukizome Chisa poked at Nanami Chiaki's face with her finger, who was engrossed in the game.

"Yes, we should go, Nanami-chan."

"Um."

Then Yukizome Chisa turned to Hinata Hajime and said.

"I'm sorry, I have to take Nanami with me."

"No, you don't need to apologize to me."

"Seriously, Nanami-chan, you're staring at the game again."

Yuki-ran Chisa bent down and lifted Nanami Chiaki up with her right hand.
