Zach stopped in front of them with unreadable dark expressions. The mist was catching up from behind and Azuma knew that if they delayed even a few seconds, things can get worse real quick.
But perhaps Zach understood that too.
Because he quickly tossed his car card to Azuma. The latter caught it, but Azuma was still wary of this situation.
It was Zach.
Why would some typical school bully help him?
Simultaneously, he unzipped his school hoodie with a grim expression and coldly declared.
"I am only doing this because of Masumi. Give me your coat."
Azuma exchanged the hoodie with Zach quickly. They could not waste time by staying there, and so, all this happened while they were hurriedly striding down the left side of the corridor.
There were no glass walls here, and that bought them both the cover and some extra time.
