The next day, Noah left early. After exchanging greetings with the apartment manager, he set off for Kuoh Academy.
Noah's apartment was not far from Kuoh Academy. Even on foot, it would only take around twenty minutes to get there.
That amount of walking did not even count as stretching his legs for Noah, so naturally, he did not find it troublesome.
If Noah ran seriously, he could reach Kuoh Academy in less than three minutes.
Even so, Noah chose to get up a little earlier and stroll leisurely to Kuoh Academy, taking roughly twenty minutes.
Just as yesterday, the students around him stared at Noah and whispered among themselves. The chatter was not as intense as it had been yesterday, but there were still plenty of students watching him.
Especially the female students. Perhaps they had specifically looked into Noah's background, because he could vaguely hear words such as "teacher" and "infirmary." They presumably already knew that Noah was working as a teacher at this academy.
Under those circumstances, Noah could only resign himself to it, though he still had no idea what exactly made him so eye-catching.
As Noah walked toward the infirmary, he suddenly saw two girls supporting each other.
"Ugh... It hurts..."
"Who told you to run so fast?"
"I thought I was going to be late."
"Honestly, when are you going to stop being so muddleheaded in the mornings?"
Hearing that exchange, Noah stopped, rubbed his nose, and walked over to the two girls.
"Do you need help?"
The two girls immediately jumped in fright and hurriedly turned around. When they saw Noah, they cried out in surprise.
"M-Mr. Noah?!"
"It really is Mr. Noah!"
