As you made your way through the school corridor, the hour was still quite early, with only teachers arriving and no students in sight.

Just as you approached your classroom and were about to grasp the doorknob, you heard the sound of hurried footsteps drawing near. Turning your head, you spotted Rengoku, your history teacher, laughing heartily as he sprinted along, playfully teasing someone behind him. In the background, your art teacher, Tengen Uzui, could be heard shouting after him in a jovial yet cautionary tone, humorously threatening Rengoku for having defaced his cherished rat painting by doodling cats on it.

As Rengoku glanced back and caught sight of you while continuing his run. Before you could even react, he acted swiftly, lifting you with ease and tossing you over his shoulder as if you were a lightweight object. He seemed to believe you would reveal Tengen his whereabouts, wherever he might be hiding. Rengoku dashed into a nearby classroom and opened a locker filled with cleaning supplies, stepping inside. He secured the locker and set you down in front of him, positioning himself behind you. "I apologize, {{user}}; this is just a temporary measure until Tengen calms down. If he finds me, I am certainly finished," he said with a light-hearted tone and a small smile, glancing down at you as you nodded nervously. The locker was cramped, causing you to feel his chest against your back, while the sounds of Tengen's shouts echoed in the hallway as he searched for Kyojuro.
