Clack— as the door swung open, Instructor Niel immediately frowned upon seeing Suga standing right in front of the door. Suga attempted a smile and took a few steps back to maintain some distance. As he adjusted his gloves, Instructor Niel snorted and redirected his gaze to Suga.
"What's wrong?" Instructor Niel said.
Suga was taken aback, not expecting the man to initiate the conversation. He had thought Instructor Niel would simply walk away.
"Instructor Niel... Do you know where Yuki is now?"
"Yuki?"
"Ah, I mean Instructor Nakajima."
"I don't know." With a curt reply, Instructor Niel began to walk away, and Suga, following closely behind, continued, "I've asked nearly all the instructors here, and they've given the same answer."
Realizing he was being trailed, Instructor Niel abruptly halted. Suga approached the man and added, "I'm a bit worried."
