That was why she had been chosen as the representative: because of her affability and ability to unite people.

She held the class together.

And that created a problem.

Ichinose's abilities were suited to a supporting role, not that of a commander.

"The teacher sent me a message saying there was something she needed to inform me about," Ichinose said.

So that was why
