Nine years have passed since Tenku lived in the Karitoshi residence. He was fifteen years old now and was already in his teenage phase. Tenku grew up to be a tall boy compared to other children his age. Even though he didn't look handsome, he wasn't ugly either.
Tenku has black hair and brown eyes. He looks pretty attractive as a man. The most striking thing about him is his eyes always look lazy like he doesn't care about everything around him.
"Are you ready? We mustn't be late for the new admissions ceremony." The person who spoke in annoyance was a girl with long brownish-black hair. She is Akina. After nine years had passed, she had grown into a beautiful girl.
Akina is the same age as Tenku. Both are wearing the same uniform because they attend the same high school. They were used to it because the boy and the girl had always attended the same place since elementary, middle, and now high school.
Misora had purposely enrolled them in the same school so that Tenku and Akina could become closer and care for each other.
"I'm ready. We can leave now." Tenku replied calmly. But his reaction made Akina even more annoyed.
"You have to remember! At school, you can't greet me and act close to me. I don't want anyone to know that you live in my house! Please do as we usually do in elementary and middle school. Pretend we didn't know each other at school!" Akina reminded Tenku with a severe face.
Although time has passed and they live under the same roof, their relationship had barely changed from when they first met. After the robbery incident, Akina's attitude had indeed become a little soft towards Tenku.
But Tenku responded very casually and instead seemed to be avoiding Akina. Tenku was only gentle with Misora in that house and indifferent to Akina and Kouta. His attitude annoyed Akina. After that, she was always cold to Tenku to cover up her feelings.
Akina is a girl with high self-esteem. She was always spoiled since childhood by her parents. Because of that, she felt annoyed when Tenku ignored her.
Even though Akina wanted to chat with Tenku, her ego didn't allow her to start the conversation first. It continued for years and brought them into their current situation. Their relationship is not good for two people living together in the same house.
"I understand." Tenku answered curtly.
"You!" Akina felt angry at Tenku's attitude. She stomped her feet on the floor several times while cursing him silently.
"Have you eaten your breakfast?" A middle-aged woman came out from inside the house and asked them. That person was Misora. Even though nine years had passed, her face had barely changed.
"We've eaten it." Akina answered, and Tenku gave the nod to Misora.
"Do you want me to take you to school?" A man appeared behind Misora. That person is Kouta. Unlike his wife, he looks older with a beard and some wrinkles on his face. As usual, he is still indifferent. His attitude towards Tenku still hasn't changed until now.
"No, you don't! I prefer to go to school by myself!" Akina quickly refused. She was happy with her father's care, but she didn't like being pampered at her age because it was embarrassing.
"Alright." Kouta shrugged his shoulders and said weakly. He felt a little lonely because his daughter always refused to go with him after she entered puberty.
"Okay. Mom, Dad. Now it's time for us to go to school. We don't want to be late for the admission ceremony. Goodbye, see you later!" Akina kissed Misora's cheek and waved her hand at Kouta. Then she left the house in a hurry.
"We are leaving." Ziel lowered his head to them and followed Akina from behind.
"You have to be careful on the way to school!" Misora smiled as she waved her hand at Tenku and Akina.

pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ After leaving Karitoshi's residence, Tenku walked behind Akina and kept a few meters distance from her. It was Akina's request, and he had used it since elementary and middle school.
Akina occasionally glanced at Tenku but quickly returned her gaze to the front while grumbling and complaining in her heart. After a twenty-minute walk from the house, they finally arrived at their destination.
The words "Suisei High School" were printed above the school gate. In addition, the two buildings next door also have the same name. "Suisei Middle School" and "Suisei Elementary School". The three schools with different levels are in the same area and have the same owner.
Tenku and Akina have attended this place since elementary school, then middle school, and now they will also attend high school in the same place. Misora decided to send them to that school because it was close to where they lived. In addition, Suisei is also one of the best schools in Japan.
Akina passed through the gate and looked at Tenku behind her. Just as she was about to remind him again to keep his distance from her while they were at school, a girl's voice interrupted her.
"Tenku!" a cute and sweet girl with double ponytail hair ran up to Tenku. When Akina saw the girl, she snorted and immediately left him.
"Can't you run slower, Asuka!?" a boy with short black hair chased the girl breathlessly.
"Why are you in a hurry? Isn't there still fifteen more minutes before the new admissions ceremony?" Tenku smiled slightly and asked the two people.
They were Tenku's childhood friends from elementary to middle school, and the three were always placed in the same class. The girl's name is Asuka Hanabira, while the boy's name is Takaya Kitamura.
Tenku and the two enrolled together at Suisei High School a few days ago for the same reason that the school was close to where they lived. That way, they have been together from elementary school to high school.
"We won't get a front row seat if we go in at the last minute. In addition, this sleepyhead would almost be late if it weren't for me coming to his house and picking him up." Asuka puffed out her cheeks and complained to Takaya.
Takaya and Asuka's house was only a few dozen meters away, and they often went to school together.
"You asked my mother to wake me up while I was dreaming with my harem! It bothers me a lot!" Takaya complained back to Asuka. Tenku could only sigh and shake his head when he saw their bickering.
"Gross!" Asuka looked at Takaya in disdain and slightly distanced herself from him.
"You!" Takaya was annoyed when he saw Asuka's reaction to him.
"Okay. You can continue your fight later. We must head to the auditorium immediately, or we will be late." Tenku walked away from them because he was too lazy to take care of it.
"Tenku! Wait for me!" Asuka ran after Tenku and linked her arm around him. Their relationship is very close and almost like lovers. But Asuka firmly denied it and said it was natural for a childhood friend.
Their relationship became that close ever since Tenku accidentally saved her from a fallen billboard when he was in elementary school. At that time, Tenku was walking right next to Asuka after school and reflexively pushed her away when he saw the big object fall. From then on, Asuka became attached to him.
In elementary and middle school, Asuka kept following Tenku wherever he went, making him uncomfortable. Tenku and Takaya looked at each other and sighed when they had to deal with Asuka's behavior.
Not long after, they arrived at a large auditorium within the school building. They had also gotten their seats but not in the front row as Asuka wanted.
Tenku raised his eyebrows after feeling a sharp glare from behind. When he looked for the source of the gaze, he found Akina looking at him with an angry face but immediately turned her face away.
Tenku sighed and returned his focus to the stage in the middle of the auditorium. During the ceremony, the principal, new student representatives, and the student council president will give their welcome speech.
The welcome speech from the principal ended quickly and tediously. Then a boy stepped onto the stage and excited the female students. He was a handsome and tall man who represented the new students. As he smiled refreshingly, the female students shouted, making the auditorium noisy.
After his welcome speech, all the female students, including Asuka, clapped their hands in appreciation of him.
"He is very handsome!" Asuka said with sparkling eyes.
Tenku and Takaya looked at each other again and sighed. They knew that Asuka was weak against a man with a hero-like figure like that.
"Furthermore, a welcome speech from the student council president." The emcee said, and the next person who would give the welcome speech walked up to the stage.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The entire auditorium fell silent when the student council president had her turn to give her welcome remarks. Tenku turned his eyes back to the stage after chatting with Takaya and opened his eyes wide when he saw a girl with long straight black hair standing on the podium.
