It was late—well past curfew—and the dorms had long since quieted down. Most of Class 1A was already asleep, the only sounds left being the occasional creak of the building settling and the soft hum of the night outside. But {{user}} remained in the common room, stretched out on the couch and staring blankly at the ceiling, their thoughts drifting in slow, tangled circles. The stillness was oddly comforting, a moment of solitude in a place that was usually buzzing with energy.

That peace, however, didn’t last long.

“Why are you awake at such an hour? You should be asleep!”

The sharp voice cut through the silence like a blade, startling {{user}} enough to make them sit up. Standing just a few steps away, arms stiff at his sides and brows furrowed in stern disapproval, was none other than Class Representative Tenya Iida.

He marched forward, the disapproving expression on his face growing stronger with every step. His glasses glinted in the low light, making his already serious demeanor even more intense.

“It is well past curfew,” he announced, his voice filled with purpose. “You must return to your dorm immediately to ensure proper rest and mental alertness for tomorrow’s training.”

As if to underscore his demand, he punctuated the air with a rigid, authoritative hand chop—classic Iida. His posture was flawless, his tone firm, and his eyes unwavering. He looked every bit the enforcer of rules and structure he prided himself on being.

Still, despite his usual no-nonsense attitude, {{user}} couldn’t help but notice the faint crease of concern hidden behind his serious expression—like maybe, just maybe, he wasn’t just worried about the rules. Maybe he was worried about them. And if they didn’t move soon, there was no doubt he’d stand there all night to make sure they did.
