The teenager raised his head. He smiled at Takumi.
"Yes, this is my first day of school here. Please help!" The teenage figure bowed towards Takumi.
Takumi frowned.
"But you don't look like a citizen here."
"Yes, I do come from abroad. I am of Japanese-German descent. Introducing, my name is Inukawa Len. Please help!!" Once again the young man who claimed to be named Len spoke excitedly.
It is true. At Takumi's school, Ashiya International School, is an international school. And many of the students here also come from abroad.
"Ooooooh." Takumi just said oh joy. He then extended his hand towards Len.
"Nice to meet you too! My name is Takumi Akazawa. Please cooperate too."
The young man immediately grabbed Takumi's hand. This was their first meeting, but Len gave an indescribable smile.
"So you came late on the first day of school, did you?"
"Yes, Akazawa-san. I'm very sorry." Len said, looking sad.
Takumi then patted his left shoulder. "Get up! Once at the top, help me up too. I always do this when I'm late," said Takumi, boasting about his disgraceful act.
Len frowned. Didn't he hear wrong? The man she had just met was going to help her get past this barrier? They even just met. Ah, what a good man, thought Inukawa Len, the young man who claimed to be of Japanese-German descent.
Len didn't waste the opportunity. The important thing is to arrive at the building behind this high wall. He didn't want to tarnish his good name.
Len stomped his right foot on Takumi's thigh, followed by his left foot that went up to the teenager's shoulder. After struggling to sacrifice the teenager's thighs and shoulders, Len finally managed to climb up. He extended his hand towards Takumi.
"Come on up too!"
Takumi who was still below smiled kindly. He took Len's outstretched hand and climbed up easily. It seems, Takumi has often done this action before.

As usual, all students at Ashiya International School come to school to study. However, that's not entirely true. Some go to school just to fulfill their parents' wishes, some are really looking for knowledge, some just want to be in a band, some just want to meet a friend or someone they like.
Takumi has a reason to just snack and play with his friends.
After a few minutes of running, Takumi finally arrived at his class. Takumi was the first whimsical school at Ashiya International School and his class was at the end of the hall, near the gym equipment warehouse.
Takumi, Riku, Itsuki and 20 other friends are placed in class 1-7, or better known as the troubled class. Exile class is a gathering place for students who are problematic, less intelligent and also naughty.
Takumi entered his class with unsteady steps, tired too he had to run until he finally arrived at this school. There were many tragedies from this morning too, making Takumi less enthusiastic. Not to mention the pain in his leg from the sprain earlier.
Unfortunately, Takumi who was excited about school earlier only existed in his dreams. In reality Takumi was still the same as his usual figure. Students who often come late and are often remedial.
When he looked into the classroom, Takumi immediately let out a ragged breath. He was tired of seeing Itsuki and Riku who were always surrounded by beautiful girl friends every morning.
Takumi doesn't know what made his two friends popular, so Takumi is annoyed with himself. Why is he the only unpopular one? Even though his father was also very popular at school, his mind screamed.
Takumi just walked past Itsuki and Riku's bench. Takumi went straight to his seat which was in the back seat, near the window. Even though it's in the first year, it's already obvious that Takumi isn't smart.
In yesterday's midterm alone, Takumi was ranked 22 out of 23 in his class, and ranked 169 out of 180 students in his class.
Takumi immediately sat down and placed the bag on the table.
