Sora Fujimori (Student President)
Freshmen, please welcome your representative, Haru Minamoto.
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
Haru!!! Go go!! You look so confident omg.
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
Riku, your fans are staring again.
Unlucky.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
Good morning.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
As freshmen, we should focus on our goals instead of getting distracted by silly campus legends…
Haru Minamoto (FL)
For example, the campus heartthrob.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
I heard he’s not even that impressive in person.
Other Students
SHE SAID WHAT
Other Students
Haru what have you done
Other Students
SOMEONE RECORD THIS
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
…Riku
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
She means you.
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
In case you’re confused.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Yeah, I kind of figured when 300 people turned to stare at me.
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
Haru
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
HARU
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
That’s HIM.
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
The senior in the second row.
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
THE ONE YOU JUST ROASTED.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
She looked straight at me.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Didn’t even flinch.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Interesting.
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
Bro why do you look amused?
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
She just declared WAR.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
But she doesn’t know what she just started.
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
Someone save Haru
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
She didn’t mean it
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
Probably
Haru Minamoto (FL)
…I’ll take responsibility for my words.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
It was an honest opinion.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Is that so?
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Then I’ll respond honestly too.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Let’s see how long you can keep that confidence, Minamoto.

Haru
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
HARU
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
Why are you walking so calmly??
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
You roasted the academy’s most popular senior.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
It was an example.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
And I didn’t know he was that Riku Hanazawa.
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
Everyone knows him!!!
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
He’s literally on the school pamphlet!!
Haru Minamoto (FL)
I didn’t read it.
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
Riku
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
Stop fixing your hair every two seconds.
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
You’re clearly bothered.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
I’m not bothered.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Just thinking.
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
Thinking = plotting.
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
I know that look.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
She said I’m “not that impressive in person.”
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Should I prove her wrong?
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
Oh god.
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
You’re actually serious.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
…You’re blocking the path.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Didn’t notice.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
If this is about my speech—
Haru Minamoto (FL)
I didn’t mean it in a bad way.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
You didn’t?
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Because “not impressive” sounded pretty clear.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
Then maybe prove me wrong instead of standing here.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
You’re bold.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
Should I apologize?
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
I don’t want an apology.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
I want a chance to change your opinion.
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
WAIT WHAT
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
DID HE JUST SAY THAT???
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
Riku
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
Are you flirting or starting a rivalry?
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
Pick one.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Not sure yet.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
Then I’ll decide for both of us.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
If you want to change my opinion…
Haru Minamoto (FL)
Try being impressive in class.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
Not in crowds.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Challenge accepted.

Haru we’re in the SAME class as him
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
WHAT KIND OF DRAMA NOVEL IS THIS
Haru Minamoto (FL)
Calm down.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
He’s just a senior.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
It doesn’t matter.
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
He is THE senior
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
The heartthrob senior
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
The one you roasted
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
We are literally sitting three desks away from him
Haru Minamoto (FL)
He’s just sitting there quietly.
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
Riku
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
She keeps glancing this way.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
No she isn’t.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
She’s pretending I don’t exist.
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
…Which means she’s definitely thinking about you.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
That’s not how logic works.
Teacher
“Alright, students. Pair up for the orientation task.”
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
Partner with me, Haru
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)

Looks like you’re stuck with me.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
I can work with anyone.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
Don’t let it get to your head.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
You talk a lot for someone who roasted me on day one.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
If you can’t handle honesty, that’s your problem.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Oh, I can handle it.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
I’m just waiting for the day you admit you were wrong.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
Keep waiting.
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
I’m watching them argue from here
Mei Kisaragi (FL's Best Friend)
And I swear they look like a married couple already
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
That’s not arguing
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
That’s flirting
Yuto Asakura (MC's Best Friend)
Riku doesn’t banter like that with anyone
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
So… what’s the first part of the task?
Haru Minamoto (FL)
Interview your partner.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
Write a short profile about them.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Ladies first.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Tell me something about yourself.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
“I prefer people who earn their reputation.”
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Alright, my turn.
Haru Minamoto (FL)
Go ahead.
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
“I prefer people who judge after knowing me…
Riku Hanazawa (MC)
Not before.”
