Chapter 138: Sanctity of Peace - Part 3

The surroundings were quiet, with only the looming buildings in sight. As I walked towards the school's main building, I took a deep breath of fresh air. The cool breeze tickled my skin, and I felt invigorated.

I didn't glance back to see where Kinoshita went, but I felt that she was still watching me from afar.

With each step, I made my way to the school's main building. The hallways were deserted and devoid of any noise, except for the sound of my footsteps echoing in the vast space. Upon reaching the classroom door, I stopped and slowly reached out for the handle.

Suddenly, a voice pierced through the silence and disrupted my peaceful thoughts.

"Can you be, a little bit faster?"

The voice belonged to someone standing behind me, but I didn't bother turning to look.

"Sure," I replied casually and picked up the pace, though not too fast, as I was not one to be easily swayed.
