Eriri's frustration was, arguably, expected by everyone, as everyone knew about Kaede being confessed to by girls last year, and it wasn't just once.
It could even be said that this wouldn't just happen now; when everyone moves up to the third year next April and new first-year students enroll, this kind of thing will highly likely happen again.
And it wasn't just Eriri's side; slightly further forward, on the boys' side, Takasu Ryuji and Uchimaki Subaru also overheard the conversation of the first-year boys next to them.
It was similar to the girls' discussion, talking about the Seniors they had seen after enrolling.
Rubbing his chin, Takasu Ryuji quietly asked, "Uchimaki, when we first enrolled last year, were we like these first-year students?"
"Hm?"
Looking at Takasu Ryuji, Uchimaki Subaru shook his head and said, "I don't know about others, but I certainly didn't think that way."
"Indeed, but students nowadays are getting more and more blatant."
After sighing, Uchimaki Subaru continued to listen to Kaede's speech. Honestly, having a friend give a speech on stage as the student representative was quite rare for him.
Kaede's speech content didn't include any gimmicks; it was just a very ordinary opening ceremony speech, naturally including so discussion of Toyosaki's advantages and things new first-year students should pay attention to regarding their studies.
While speaking, Kaede also found Eriri staring at him in the crowd, and he flashed a smile in her direction.
Eriri naturally received Kaede's gaze and smile, and likewise put on a bright smile, gently waving to Kaede.
Eriri's actions were also seen by the first-year girls nearby. These girls, who hadn't seen Kaede and Eriri co to school together that morning, imdiately beca curious about this blonde Senior.
However, Eriri had waved with her right hand, so they hadn't seen the ring on Eriri's left hand. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have been guessing here.
After the speech, Kaede calmly walked off the podium to the backstage amidst everyone's applause.
Once inside, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew, it's finally over. Thankfully, nothing went wrong."
Kitamura Yusaku smiled and patted Kaede's shoulder, saying, "I knew you must have practiced several tis; it was very smooth. Keep it up, you'll definitely be giving the opening speech again next sester, I'll recomnd you."
"Don't ss with , you. Next ti, let Kasumigaoka-senpai do it instead." Kaede refused without hesitation, "Her effect on stage would definitely be much better than mine."
Just then, his words were overheard by Kano Sumire, who walked over and teased with a smile, "I'll definitely pass that on. Coincidentally, she and I are in the sa class this sester."
"Uh..."
Never mind, Kaede was used to it. After all, similar things had happened before, and given their current familiarity, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Moreover, what Kaede said was from his heart; for such things, a girl on stage would naturally attract more attention.
The opening ceremony was almost over. Kaede said goodbye to Kitamura Yusaku and went straight back to the classroom.
Today was the first day of school, and there weren't many classes in the morning. After the opening ceremony, a class eting was scheduled. After everyone introduced themselves, they started arranging seats.
Kaede was casual about this. After drawing his seat, his luck was pretty good; it was a spot in the middle-to-back, which was perfect given his height and abilities.
Eriri, on the other hand, was in front of him to his left, not far away.
The only regrettable thing was Aisaka Taiga. As ntioned before, even if that girl drew a back-row seat, the teacher would definitely pull her to the first three rows, making it impossible for her to slack off.
After arranging seats, everyone was quite satisfied, except for Aisaka Taiga, who slumped onto her desk as if all her energy had been drained.
During the break, Eriri saw the girl's appearance and, feeling a little sorry, walked over and patted her head: "Taiga, are you okay?"
"Ugh... I'm fine."
Aisaka Taiga turned her head, looked at Eriri who had co to her side, and said, "It just feels a bit unfamiliar sitting so far in front. It wasn't like this last sester."
Kaede also walked over at this mont, smiling as he said, "No choice, the horoom teacher has that kind of personality. The class did this last year. Mainly, your height is really a bit... well, regrettable. You can't escape it."
Her eyelids twitched. Aisaka Taiga glanced at Kaede, then turned her head back, saying in a calm tone, "...I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now. I'll let you have your mont today."
This girl, it seed, was truly disheartened by the teacher's actions earlier. After all, unlike facing peers where she could say whatever she wanted, Aisaka Taiga's personality had also llowed quite a bit over the past year.
Kaede looked at the girl, then exchanged a glance with Eriri, both showing helpless smiles.
Just then, soone in the class shouted, "Sawamura, soone's looking for you!"
"Huh?"
Eriri heard soone call her and turned around in confusion, then saw two small heads curiously peeking into the classroom doorway.
It was none other than Takanashi Rikka and Dekomori Sanae, whom they hadn't seen in a while and who had caused so disturbance to Kaede and Eriri.
"Hiss!!!"
Without thinking, Eriri imdiately gasped, then pulled Kaede's arm and walked towards the classroom door.
"Hey, hey, hey! Eriri, why are you pulling ?"
As Eriri walked, she whispered to Kaede, "I can't handle these two kids by myself, Kaede-kun, you have to help !"
"...Alright."
Takanashi Rikka at the door saw Eriri co out, imdiately raised her hand to cover her right eye, and said in a serious tone, "After a long sealing, I finally— Ugh!"
Seeing that the girl was about to utter a Chuunibyou remark, Eriri completely disregarded her image and directly delivered a hand chop to Takanashi Rikka's head.
"Shut up!"
Seeing her Master being disciplined, Dekomori Sanae beca anxious, swung her twin-tail weapon, and her eyes beca dangerous: "What are you doing? Don't— Ugh!"
However, Eriri had played with twin-tail attacks countless tis. With a flick, her own twin-tails precisely interrupted Dekomori Sanae's "Hamr of Thor," breaking her casting wind-up.
Kaede watched from the side, and seeing this scene, he couldn't help but clap. Even Takanashi Rikka, seeing this, followed Kaede's rhythm and clapped.
"Oh!!! Amazing, amazing!"
"You two!!!"
