Just as they passed through the gate, they noticed Yuya and Shunta standing infront of the entrance of the school building, waiting for them.
A magnificent three storey tall building which stretched wide in both direction was covering a huge chunk of land. With each floor consisting of several sliding glass windows, the white coloured school building looked like a modern five star hotel instead.
‘Woah!! Look at this building!! It’s damn huge!! The window alone is like 5 feet tall and 8 feet wide. And there’s literally more than 50 such window’s in each floor.’ He thought to himself while staring at the majestic building infront.
A wide trail paved by stone which started from the main gate stretched towards the entrance of the school building. The trail however didn’t end at the entrance of school. Instead it continued to stretch towards it’s left and right, bordering the whole school building.
And infront of the entrance of the school building was a magnificent bronze statue of an old man erected on a stone platform.
At either side of the paved path were grassy green fields consisting of several plants and trees which looked like gardens instead.
However atop those grassy fields and beneath those lush green trees, students of Kawasaki Middle School sat laughing and gossiping with their friends.
“Seems like those guys still have some conscience in them.” Shun mumbled after noticing the sight of Yuya and Shunta.
Since both of them had boarded out of the bus without waiting for them, Shun was somewhat pissed.
“The building infront is the main building of our school. Also there’s more buildings behind, so don’t assume it the only building of our school.” While escorting him towards the main building, Shun began to talk about the school. ．𝚌ｏ𝚖
“And there’s a also large gymnasium and a footbal ground behind the main building. I’ll guide you towards the back of the building later in the lunch time.” Shun continued.
“And this here is the statue of the founder of our school Daisuke Iwasawa. And his gandson is the current principal of our school Yosuke Iwasawa. So do remember about that.”
While walking towards the main building, Shun kept on talking about the school. And only after they reached the entrance of the main building, he stopped his explanation.
“You guys!! Why didn’t you wait for us?” Shun asked Yuya and Shunta.
Hearing his questions, Yuya stepped closer towards Shun and replied in his playful voice; “We did. Look we are still waiting for you.”
Upon hearing Yuya’s response, Shun turned speechless.
Afterall technically, Yuya wasn’t wrong. Since he and Shunta were indeed waiting for them infront of the school.
“Now let’s go escort him towards the teachers office.” Saying such Yuya and Shunta began to walk inside the building.
Hiro and Shun followed them as well.

Chatter!! Chatter!!
Inside a large spacious classroom which consisted of 37 students, students were chattering with each other in the absence of their homeroom teacher.
While the students in the front seat were immersed in their textbooks, the scene was a lot different at the back seat.
A meek looking obese guy was sorrounded by group of five guys. And those five guys were body shaming the obsese guy and were forcing that obese guy to do pushups against his will.
“Come on Fatso! Today this good friend of yours will help you lose that fat from your body. So why don’t you do as I say?” A big guy with huge body mumbled and burst out into laughter.
“Yeah Masato is only trying to help you lose weight. So just do as he says.” Another guy with lanky body and big nose joined.
It was clear that those guys were bullying that meek looking obese guy. However despite noticing that broad daylight bullying, nobody in that class stood up to those guys. All of the other students turned a blind eye to their behaviour.
The guy who was being bullied couldn’t muster up the courage to fight back as well. Without replying anything, he just stood there without doing anything with his gaze lowered at the floor.
“Hurry up!! Masao!! We don’t have all day.” Masato insisted the meek looking guy to hurry up and do as he say.
Masao on the other hand kept on nervously fiddling with his hands without doing anything. Neither could he fight for him nor could he muster up the courage to say no.
Slam!!
Masato slammed his hands at the table infront.
“Masao!! You’re testing my patience now.” Yelling such, Masato stood up from his chair and stomped towards Masao while cracking his fingers.
Masao’s unwillingness to do as he say had triggered Masato.
“Looks like Masao’s gonna get some beating.” The other four guys laughed while watching Masao’s face filled with fear.
“And here comes the superman punch.” The guy with big nose commentated.
Thud!!
But just as Masato was about to raise his fist, the door of the classroom opened all of a sudden.
From within the door, a guy in his mid thirties, casually dressed in white shirt and grey pants made his appearance while holding a maths book in his hand.
Neatly combed black hair, fair-skinned combined with a pair of glasses, he was the homeroom teacher of class 7-A.
Noticing their teacher, the group of five guys quickly ran towards their seat, undetected.
Even so Masao didn’t run back. Infact he was so scared that he didn’t even hear the arrival of the teacher.
“”Good morning teacher”‘
And as the homeroom teacher entered the classroom, everybody rose from their seat to greet the teacher.
“Good morning everyone. Please have your seat.” The teacher greeted them back.
“Thank you teacher”
With that everybody lowered themselves and sat down.
“Why are you standing over there Masao? Go have your seat.” The teacher intoned sounding somewhat annoyed after noticing Masao standing at the space behind the back seat.
The teacher simply thought that Masao was acting mischievously and thus, he didn’t even bother to question the reason behind him standing there.
After hearing the teacher’s voice, Masao assumed his seat without replying anything.
“Now then. I’d like to introduce you all to your new classmate. And before you all start to gossip. No he’s not a new transfer though. He was with all you during the online class. And because of some personal reasons, he couldn’t attend the orientation together with you. So I want all of you to welcome him with open arms.”
Saying such, he finished his sentence and gestured Hiro who was waiting outside the door to come inside.
