The Grimhour Institute, commonly abbreviated as GI, is a prestigious private university with a unique history. It was established as a learning facility to educate the best prospective teaching graduates. For 20 years, it has ranked in the top 5 most prestigious universities in the country and has a solid reputation.
Many talented students are born into respected families. Its students are mostly people who are educated and trained to become competent teachers, although not all of them. At least that is the perception of the surrounding community based on this place. There is even a cool nickname for the students who study here, they are called Hourans.
The institute is quite large, covering tens of hectares in one educational area. As mentioned earlier, the majors offered here are to educate teaching graduates. In this case, the faculty naturally has an educational vibe.
Being a top university, it's not surprising that there are many high-class vehicles in the parking area. A silver SUV has just landed in front of the campus in a very elegant manner. A familiar car where the owner is none other than "The Queen Bee", along with the person who serves as the chairman of the Student Faculty Council for the Faculty of Science and Technology this year.
Without further ado, the driver in front of the car quickly got out to open the door for the passengers. Several people who were still in the front yard also turned their gaze, including others who could still see the car from afar.
The first step is someone getting out of the car. We can see a pair of white sneakers adorned with black stripes, followed by long legs wrapped in stockings that almost touch the knees. Then, she comes out, a girl wearing a light blue jacket and carrying a sling bag, radiating a fresh and sweet expression. Her sapphire eyes, along with the cute front bangs, resemble typical Asian girls, while the back of her hair is tied in a ponytail with wavy hair that reaches her waist.
"Finally, we've arrived..." Although her voice isn't too loud, the girl's words make everyone who sees her smile. It's no wonder because she is also an idol for everybody.
"Don't get too excited. We still have four reports to finish today," someone interrupts as they exit the car.
Besides the girl, the car also carries a guy. Judging by his appearance, he looks handsome and authoritative. A guy who is tall and dressed neatly like a mascot for exemplary students. He tidies his college suit and combs his blonde hair to make it even neater. His facial expression quickly becomes more serious, reflecting wisdom as he sees people around.
"Hmm! You can't be as casual as usual, can you?"
"Of course not, it's our duty as student leaders to always be disciplined."
Surely, the academic community knows them both. They are the members of the organization, better known as Student Officials. You can differentiate them by looking at the council sign on their arms.
For now, the focus was on the chairman of the organization who was highly respected, and even his name was known throughout the institute. His influence was no less than that of the Student President and he was one of the most respected individuals. The chairman of Student Faculty Council, Dellon Harrison, and his first secretary, Aidera Tassania, who was adored by the male students.
"If you can't relax, you'll age faster, you know~"
"Sigh! Once again, you're using advice from the ancient people that can't be reasoned logically."
"But... Ahh! It's frustrating when I try to make a joke but you respond seriously. You're really not perceptive."
"Whatever, I don't care either way."
Although it was still early in the day, these two people were arguing as usual. But despite their apparent lack of harmony, they were very close to each other. In fact, many people thought they were actually a couple.
From afar, someone was seen running very fast towards them. He was carrying something that looked like a piece of clothing. And what was surprising was that this person was also a member of the organization's officials. Running made her out of breath.
"Miss Aideraa!!.. hah- haah..."
"Oh, as usual, you come early."
The girl immediately handed over a red suit that was a symbol of this institute. Aidera happily accepted it. She took off her blue jacket and immediately replaced it with her beloved outerwear.
"What else can I do? I can't possibly disturb your departure."
"I told you not to talk too formally on campus, we're friends after all," Aidera sighed. Of course, she was annoyed because she was still being treated like a princess who needed to be flattered.
"But it's my responsibility"
"Did you hear that? You'd better work on the financial report data for next month's project that is still unstable before we all get into trouble," Dellon interrupted.
"I'll do it right away. I apologize for not being a good treasurer for both of you yet."
"Hey, hey, I told you not to be too formal!"
"But..."

Meanwhile, on the second floor balcony of Building A, in front of classroom A41 (Building A, 4th floor, room 1), there were many students eagerly observing the arrival of the chairman of the council from the neighboring faculty. Although the distance was quite far from their view, Building A was close enough to the main car park.
"Our seniors are pretty cute"
"Yes, especially miss Aidera"
There were already six new students thinking the same thing. Among them was a guy with with long blonde hair style, just like a European. Being able to observe one of the beauties in the morning might be a mood-booster for this student named Kriss.
"If I register as a member of the organization, does that mean I can meet them? Right?"
"To have dealings with the council... Ahh, I don't know! Anyway, I will only be involved within the scope of my major. I don't really understand how the system works," Kriss replied.
BRAAKK...
Suddenly, the sound of a door being slammed very loudly was heard. Of course, the conversation of the group of students standing in front of the classroom was distracted. One of them was even startled by the loud noise.
"Ouch.."
A guy who had just arrived was immediately unlucky. He had just arrived and was hit by the door. Perhaps because he was in a hurry or something. His school uniform was still a bit messy, and his hair was wet as if he had just taken a shower a few minutes before. The onlookers chose to remain silent rather than laugh. After all, they had just met each other.
"Hey, are you okay?", the class president asked.
Instead of accepting the help, the guy stood awkwardly leaning against the door that he had just slammed into.
They were suddenly confused by this student. In addition to his messy appearance, what was surprising were his eyes. His eyes stared sharply like an eagle and his pupils were as red as blood.
"I'm sorry, it's okay. I just forgot to bring my glasses."
"Wait a minute! How will you attend classes later?" Kriss interjected. "Hold on! How did you manage to get here without wearing glasses?"
This blond guy tried to read the situation while talking. He had been curious about this person since yesterday. Kriss had actually tried to get to know all of his classmates except for this one person, But he also knew that some friends would be naturally introverted at the start of college. But now he seemed to know why his characteristics were like that. According to his explanation, which he forgot to bring his glasses, he could only guess that this person really had a visual impairment.
"Your name is Zeyn, right? If I'm not mistaken. Hehehe~ Nice to meet you, my name is Kriss Howard! Just call me Kriss."
Kriss, without further ado, pulled Zeyn's hand to shake hands. This small moment in front of the class made some students laugh. A giggle that caused a strange feeling because it seemed like they were being laughed at.
"Huh? What?"
After looking around for Zeyn, Kriss realized that the guy had already passed him and was heading to his own seat, and he had actually shaken hands with someone else instead. More precisely, Kriss felt like he was shaking hands with someone, but without realizing it, he ended up shaking hands with the class president.
"What!? Why did I end up shaking your hand instead?!" Kriss confused.
"Don't ask me! You were the one who pulled my hand. Geez!"
Kriss was sure he had held the other guy's hand. It was impossible for him to be fooled by his own vision. But what had happened, why did he end up holding the hand of class president? Instead, Zeyn was behind him and walked past him.
"Is it just me or...?"
This event successfully made the blond guy the subject of his friends' laughter.
