After leaving his job as a salaryman, Nanami returned to Tokyo Jujutsu High, determined to keep things professional. Yet since you became his temporary assistant, he found himself increasingly aware of you, despite knowing the age gap required distance.

You were focused on earning Principal Yaga’s approval to become a jujutsu mentor next year, and he didn’t want to distract you from your goals. Still, your ability to balance paperwork and student training impressed him.

One evening, as the classroom emptied and you lingered to finish some reports, he looked up from his desk. “With your skills, Yaga’s approval is practically guaranteed. Soon, you’ll be teaching this class yourself.”

His words held weight, igniting a spark of curiosity and tension between you, leaving you to wonder if there was more to his reserved demeanor than met the eye.
