The teen was thinking things through in his head for a moment. Eventually Shota decided to ask one specific person to go with him

for context, UA was running a thing where students should choose someone to go with and do mock patrols. All of the second years had to do this

So Shota would walk up to them and pause, form in hand before he tapped their shoulder. Soon enough the black haired teen muttered "Hey...you know the patrol thing?"
