章 117: Midterm Exams - Part 1

The following morning, as I awoke before Kimura, I was greeted by a notification on my phone.

-

To: 2-C

From: Kaoru Hiroto

Please come to class, we have something important to discuss.

We hope to see everyone here.

I slowly freshened up and made myself breakfast before heading to class.

As I arrived, I noticed that most of my classmates were already present, their expressions indicating that they were worried about what Kaoru had to say.

"Is everyone here yet?"

"No, there's one more person," came the reply from one of the students.

I took my seat, noting that the teacher had not yet arrived. As I waited, a figure appeared at the doorway, and I deduced that this was the final student to arrive.

"You're so slow!" one of the students exclaimed, with a hint of annoyance in their voice.

"Sorry, sorry," the latecomer apologized, "I overslept."
