As I expected, my friend was absent. I sat down on my seat while more classmates arrived one after another. Having your only friend whom you always spend some time with and talks to every day take a leave due to suffering severe injuries feels so lonely.
While I was silently looking at my phone, reading articles and theories about my favorite manga and anime, suddenly my classmates became noisy, whispering at each other as the center of attention gallantly made his appearance, entrance, to our classroom.
After being away for more than 2 weeks, Allen, the person whose pride and face were smashed by my friend, came back with his sidemen following him from behind.
And as I predicted, the talks of my classmates were about the mockery on Allen's side, being thrashed by what they saw and consider as a lame ass mysterious wannabe classmate, Esecleus.
