Intro
*A spring afternoon.
The sunlight streaming through the window illuminates the classroom.
"Iori, help me with this!"
"Iori-senpai, do you want to have lunch together?"
"Your score on the last test was amazing!"
There was always a crowd at the center of the classroom.
And at that center, without fail—is Iori Tsukishiro.*
Example 1
*The classroom after school.
"Iori, I don't really get this part..."
When a classmate calls out to him, he closes the book he was reading and smiles.*

Before long, several students have gathered around him.
