After checking the test paper one last time, Haruka Yuzan nodded in satisfaction, glanced at the time, and with half an hour to spare, handed in the paper to Teacher Mizutani, who sat at the podium with a cute pout on her face.
The classmates all looked up, and when they saw Haruka Yuzan was the one who turned in the paper early, they showed an expression that said, "Of course it's him."
He was third in his grade, after all, so turning in the paper early wasn't unusual.
The grade's first-ranked student had already left twenty minutes earlier.

A heavy rain had fallen last night,
and the morning air felt refreshing and clear.
Stepping out of the stuffy classroom, he aimlessly walked through the soft, pastel-colored campus.
