First Year, Class B.
"Honami, how did you meet Katsuragi-kun?"
Miyake, a cute girl with short, light blue hair that stood out in the crowd, whispered to Honami. She was outgoing and got along great with Honami.
She was very curious how Honami met the mysterious young master. It can't be one of those prince and Cinderella stories, right?
The girls nearby heard Miyake's question and gathered around. Even the shy Chihiro Shiranami joined the gossiping group. She looked at Honami with big, curious eyes.
"That's..." Honami looked a little embarrassed and lowered her head. She decided not to tell them how she and Ren met. She was afraid they would keep asking questions if she did.
"Alright, alright, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine." Miyake saw Honami was uncomfortable and stopped the rest of the students from pressing her.
She asked the next question: "Honami, what kind of person is Katsuragi-kun?"
They were all very curious about the mysterious Ren, wanting to know what secrets were hidden behind his perfect facade.
"I think... he's a little scary..." Chihiro added to the chat. She was timid, and Ren had scared her on the first day.
"Hmm, what kind of person is Ren-kun?" Honami touched her lips with her finger and thought for a moment. "He's bossy, reliable, gentle, and a little cute."
"Cute...?"
The girls were stunned by that word. How can she think Ren is cute?
Oh no, Honami's love filter is that strong?
As Honami spoke about Ren's good points, a gentle smile appeared on her face. The other students were lost in thought as they watched her.
"Damn it! My goddess Honami!"
"That Katsuragi Ren!"
"Why don't you say that to his face?"
The girls' circle was always the center of attention. When the boys saw Honami's expression, many who dreamed of a "kind leader falling for a quiet boy" felt their hearts break. Some were furious at Ren, while the clear-headed guys mocked the dreamers.
"Honami, you look just like a girl in love in a TV show." The girls were happy and joking around, unlike the disappointed boys. They loved the "gentle leader x bossy delinquent" pairing.
"Oh, really?" The usually confident Honami covered her face, a little shy from the teasing.
"Well, what about you, Miyake? Do you have someone you like?"
"Nope. I feel like shipping Honami and Young Master Katsuragi is enough for me."
The blushing Honami was even cuter, so Miyake reached out and patted her head like a fan. To make the pairing even better, she made sure to call Ren the "Young Master."

First Year, Class A.
Arisu Sakayanagi, with her silver hair and wearing a beret, sat gracefully. Because of her health, her skin was pale. She wore white stockings.
She elegantly blew on her teacup and listened to the little dog, Masumi Kamuro, report on the other classes.
"The leader of First Year Class B is Honami Ichinose, and the vice-leader is probably Ryūji Kanzaki. The class is very friendly, and no one has started a rival group."
Kamuro emphasized the words "rival group" on purpose. Kamuro never expected to be so unlucky. She had been caught by the white-haired girl on the first day and was now Sakayanagi's slave.
Full of resentment, she added her own thoughts to the report, showing her unhappiness about Sakayanagi forming a separate group within Class A.
"Ara ara, the little dog has an attitude. Continue the report." Sakayanagi ignored her tone. She drank her warm tea, and the heat flowed through her body, making her eyes narrow happily.
"The situation in Class C is unclear, but I've noticed that most of the boys have injuries. There must have been some kind of fight."
"As for Class D... begging your pardon, but there's no need to watch them. They're worthless."
"Class D... worthless. Kiyotaka Ayanokōji." Sakayanagi didn't react to Kamuro's report. After getting the information she wanted, she sent her away.
Kamuro turned and left immediately, without hesitation. Tch, you little dwarf. You think I want to serve you?
Sakayanagi didn't care about the departing "little dog." She faced the window, enjoying the warm sunshine. She murmured, "Kiyotaka Ayanokōji."
The reason she ignored her father's warnings and came to this school was because she accidentally found out in one of his calls that he was coming here.
Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, the best work of the "White Room," known as the artificial genius. I wonder what kind of trouble my childhood friend will cause after all these years. I can't wait.

Teacher's Office.
Chie Hoshinomiya was looking through many files for Ren's personal information. She couldn't find anything. She had tried to look him up online, but there were no results.
A picture and a name were all the information available on the internet.
The more someone hides, the more curious you get. Since the internet didn't work, Hoshinomiya put her hope in his entrance exam, hoping to find a hint about the boy.
Her persistence paid off. She finally found it.
