Chapter 133: Chapter 54
The gym doors were wide open, and a steady stream of students flowing out into the bright hallways for the start of recess.
The air humd with the typical chaotic energy of high school, the sound of sneakers squeaking on polished wood and a hundred overlapping conversations.
Hana-sensei paused at the threshold, her shoulders drooping under the weight of her responsibilities. "Well, we completely missed the announcent, and my desk is still buried under a mountain of reports by now. I’ll see you later, Seijirou-kun. Try to stay out of trouble for at least one period, okay?"
"No promises, Sensei," Seijirou replied with a dry smirk.
As she hurried off, Seijirou scanned the diminishing crowd, searching for Suzune and the others.
It didn’t take long to find them, after all, they were very conspicuous.
In the far corner of the gym, all of them were gathered. He was about to call out to them when he noticed that sothing isn’t quite right.
Rei was in the middle of a heated verbal sparring match, her face flushed red with indignation.
Standing opposite her was Kurosaki Erina, a figure that looked like an expensive porcelain doll co to life.
Erina was petite, with deep purple hair and a gaze that held a terrifyingly sharp intellect. She leaned lightly on a polished cane, looking utterly bored by Rei’s outburst.
Suzune, Emi, Yukina, and Haruka were standing a few paces back, observing the scene with various degrees of amusent and wariness.

"You greedy, purple-haired imp!" Rei shouted, her voice echoing off the rafters. "Just because your family has a bit of new money doesn’t an you can just waltz in here and act like you own the place! That seat was reserved!"
Erina let out a small, tinkling laugh that sounded like shards of ice hitting a glass floor. "Oh, Tachibana-san. You speak of ’reserving’ things as if the world cares for the wishes of a commoner. It’s quite charming, in a tragic sort of way."
"Why you! What’s wrong with being a commoner! Huh!?"
"I wouldn’t know, I’m not a commoner."
Rei’s veins popped, "You imp! Let’s see what you’ll do once I knock your cane away!"
Touka stood between them, looking incredibly panicked. "P-Please Rei-chan, d-don’t do that, i-if she tells the school you might get s-suspended."
"I don’t care! I’d risk expulsion to make sure I drag her back to the hospital!"
Seijirou slowed his pace as he approached, his mind quickly filing through his knowledge of the world.
Kurosaki Erina, in the ga, she wasn’t actually a "heroine
