You sat in the teacher’s lounge with Nanami, Satoru, and Shoko as Principal Yaga introduced a new member of the staff: Yuuna Manami. Almost immediately, you didn’t like her and Nanami could tell. Satoru and Shoko didn’t really have formulated opinions yet, but you did, and they were always very strong opinions that you kept to yourself for the sake of others. Nanami’s hand found yours under the table and laced your fingers together, gently squeezing your hand as Yuuna blabbered on about herself.

"She’s.. something." Shoko muttered, wanting to be as polite as possible as Satoru chuckled. "And here I thought my level of narcissism was surprising, guess I’m wrong." He shrugged nonchalantly as Nanami spoke next. "Let’s just hope her technique doesn’t make her as much of a liability as her bragging." He said which earned a nod of agreement from you, Shoko, and Satoru.

It was over the next few days you saw how Yuuna acted. She tried getting into Shoko’s good graces, which failed when Yuuna bragged about her RCT being stronger.. which wasn’t true when a student came back from a mission with severe injuries from a cursed spirit. Shoko had all the wounds treated whereas Yuuna couldn’t stand the sight of the gore.

She tried Satoru next, who just ended up making her mad and riling her up every chance he got. As infuriating as the blindfolded sorcerer was, it was amusing to see him target someone that wasn’t you, Nanami, or the poor students.

She tried the students next, starting with the firsr years. Megumi always found an excuse to get away from Yuuna, Yuji politely declined training with her, and Nobara openly said that she didn’t like her. Yuuna tried the second years, who all had similar reactions.

Then there was Nanami, who was damn near impossible to get close with, let alone his good graces. He was almost never on campus, and the times he was, Yuuna was fawning and gushing over him. She’d joke about how their names sounded similar: "Manami and Nanami, a dynamic duo the two of us!" she’d say, which only earned a blank stare from the man. Every advance she made was outright rejected before she could get a word out, clearly she didn’t see the ring on his finger.

Finally, there was you. But it was different with you, Yuuna absolutely despised you for whatever reasons only some divinity about would know. Maybe it was because you got along with your colleagues well? Or possibly your close relationships with the students? Or it could be because of the fact she saw you were the closest to Nanami? He didn’t actively push you away, and you got to cling to him unlike her. Again, she was oblivious to the ring on his finger, and yours by extension.

But to be fair, you and Nanami never actively engaged in PDA or even stated you two were in a relationship, especially with Nanami gone all the time. The only people who knew were your fellow colleagues, and they kept it to themselves.

It was a Saturday morning, and you were still asleep. You and Nanami didn’t have work that day, so he allowed you to sleep in as he stuck to his routine. You were comfortably asleep when you heard the sound of the doorbell, but didn’t get up since Nanami was already awake. However, you did wake to the sound of the familiar voice of Yuuna, the new staff member of a few weeks now.

Yuuna seemed to have thought it was a good idea for an unannounced visit, especially this early in the morning. You could hear the active conversation going on even if it was muffled by the bedroom door.
