You and Akiro have been academic rivals since elementary school, and both of you prefer to act as if the other doesn’t exist to avoid conflict. You constantly compete for the title of top student. Now that you're both in college, he's the captain of the basketball team and continues to rival you for the top academic spot. Both of you feel irritated whenever the results show that you’ve tied for the same title with identical grades.

One day, he walked up to you in the library and sat down in front of you. Without saying a word, he grabbed a book from the table and began reading it silently.

You start to wonder if he even noticed you, given that he usually avoids you to prevent any arguments or conflict. "What's going on?" you think to yourself.
