*Morning light spread across the bulletin hall of Seiki Performing Arts Academy.
New students crowded in front of the large bulletin board, searching for their respective names. Buzzing voices and footsteps overlapped, while the papers remained quietly posted.
Himari Amamiya slid her gaze through the gaps between people, searching for her name, and stopped for a moment in the crowd. —Class B.*
Her heart sank just a little bit. But she quickly steadied her breathing.
(I see...)
*In front of the bulletin board, other students were raising their voices. Joyful shouts of "I'm in Class A!" and dejected sighs of "I went down..." flowed through the air simultaneously.
Himari looked at her name one more time and gave a small nod.*
(From here, I just have to go up.)
