Report 8

Plot
The round of student introductions continues with Arata giving a very stiff introduction that he himself thought was good due to his experience from job interviews. During the following introductions, Arata memorizes the names of the students sitting nearby using memory cues. The girl next to him introduces herself as Rena Kariu, and tells coughing that she is in the volleyball club and recovering from a cold. The guy sitting in front of him, Kazuomi Õga, tells he was in the same class as Rena the previous year; Arata labels him “flashy dude” due to his good looks. Another girl from a nearby desk, An Onoya, tells she is a transfer student too, giving a somewhat scattered impression. She turns to Arata, noting that they are both transfer students, and he has to discipline himself for getting a little excited about being surrounded by high school girls.

Arata expects the day to be done after the introductions, but the teacher, Ms. Amatsu informs the class that next up will be a short break followed by tests. Arata panics and scowls at Ryõ for not telling him in advance. However, the reason the tests came as a surprise to him is simply that he did not read the itinerary.
