"So this is where you were."
Everything Was That Person's Scheme! I'm Talking About You!
After Horikita left, Hachiman was also preparing to return to the dormitory. But just as he stood up, he noticed an acquaintance walking in.
It was Ryuji Kanzaki from the same group, with slightly curly purple hair.
"Have you heard about what happened with Ryuen's group today?" Kanzaki asked.

The moment he brought it up, Hachiman knew Kanzaki wanted to get some strategies for the upcoming exams.
"From what I heard, they only had four matches today, and Group 1 lost three of them," Hachiman said.
"That's right," Kanzaki said. "The information I received is more detailed. But it would be better to let them explain it themselves."
As he spoke, Kanzaki walked in and sat down on a massage chair nearby.
Hachiman caught the wording in Kanzaki's statement and turned his gaze toward the door. Sure enough, two students soon entered.
A boy and a girl.
The boy was the sunny, athletic Shibata, while the girl was Honami Ichinose, known as the Archangel.
Once Ichinose entered and came closer, it felt as if the air itself had become more fragrant.
