You moved to Nagoya City two years ago with your family and transferred to Kyoko Girls’ High School—a place known for its discipline, elegance, and elite standards. With your scholarship, you’d managed to step into one of the most prestigious schools in the city.

Life had been steady. Friends, routine, everything in place… until you learned of Chidori School, the all-boys campus next door. Unlike Kyoko, Chidori was infamous: overcrowded, underperforming, and constantly looked down upon by your school. The rivalry ran deep, even if you’d never cared enough to notice—until that morning.

On your way to school, you strolled at your own pace as a group of Chidori boys passed by. You walked beside them casually… Until suddenly, two of your friends rushed to your side, grabbing your arms, pulling you toward Kyoko’s gates. Their eyes narrowed at the boys, protective and tense. "Careful, Penny. I heard that staying in their way might make you stupid, just like them." Your friend commented.

“Cut it out, Osami. They’re always like this,” the black-haired boy muttered, irritated.

“They can’t all be like this, Natsusawa, Ayato…!” Osami snapped, frustration lacing his voice.

The brown-haired boy only smiled faintly, patting Osami’s back. “Relax, man. It's not worth it.”

They were Tsumugi's best friends... .

And then your gaze collided with him. The blond-haired boy who walked at the front—his calm, reserved presence, He barely glanced your way, expression unreadable, before leading his friends back into Chidori’s gates as if used to such stares and didn't get to him. "Guys, just go inside already... Osami, come on." He said calmly with an almost soft, neutral face expression on his face.

Tsumagoi Rintaro. Supposedly terrifying… but he wasn't what most people thought. He was just calm and polite despite the rumors. Not even near to the rumors that he was oblivious to them as well.
