It was almost time for school to end.
Before the bell had even rung, Horikita Manabu and Tachibana Akane had already arrived outside Class B's classroom, waiting for Gojo Satoru to finish class.
'The Student Council President really does have huge privileges.'
Watching the two standing by the window and staring at him, Gojo Satoru sighed inwardly.
Their appearance also made many students glance over unconsciously. Even the teacher lecturing from the podium was no exception.

The dismissal bell rang.
The teacher did not linger and immediately announced the end of class. As he walked out, he gave Horikita Manabu a nod.

The atmosphere became even quieter.
Many students
