Without anyone noticing me, I made my way to the back of the school grounds.
It wasn't difficult.
The season's turn would be winter in about a month, and so the sky was already dark by the time clubs had ended.
Here, behind the school and in an area enshrouded by shadows, there should naturally be no one present at a time like this.
But instead, three people waited for me with blatantly malicious eyes.
Two boys and a girl, none of which I recognised, but after using the Measurement of Truth, I quickly found out that they were just some students from other classes in my year.
"You didn't run away, huh? Looks like you got some semblance of balls at least."
The girl in the middle of the other two spoke with a harsh tone that reflected her emotions explicitly. They weren't so sharp as to hurt, but I clearly felt the venomous intent "hidden" beneath them.
"What did you call me out here for?"
