"Live a long life?"

"doesn't mean much when you go and die yourself," nobara scoffed as the the three of them sat one the stone steps

"is it your first time having a partner die?" the brunette asked her two other classmates who wore the same downcast looks as her

"First time for one my age" Megumi answered

"Not really" Shiori hummed

"You seem to be taking it well considering," Nobara muttered

"Kugisaki, are you okay?"

"Of course. I only knew him for two weeks, I'm not the kind of girl who breaks down balling when a guy i barely know dies" she said but both of her classmates could see her lips quivering

The students lamenting was interrupted as they looked up to see the one and only maki zenin standing infront of them

"What's this? You're looking more glum than usual, Megumi" she said with her hands on her hips "And you're infecting Shiori"

"Zenin," Megumi said

"I already told you! Don't call me by my last name!" the girl yelled

"Hi Maki" Shiori greated, feeling too low to get off of the steps

"Maki! Maki!" panda said

"I'm talking here!" maki snapped

"You actually don't know why they're down??" the panda whispered as inumaki stood by him

"What do you mean?" she said plainly

"Someone really did die yesterday! One of the first year boys!" The panda confirmed

"Bonito flakes" The other boy said leaving Maki with a mortified expression

"You should've told me sooner! Now I look like some heartless ice demon!" she cried

"That's exactly how you came off." Panda continued

"Tuna mayo," the other boy said

"You're supposed to try and make me feel better!" maki wailed as the three first years stared at her

"Who are those guys?" nobara questioned

"Our second-year upperclassmen," Shiori answered

"Zenin is the best of all the students at wielding cursed tools." Megumi said pointing to the girl with glasses

"That's the cursed speech user Inumaki he can only speak in rice ball ingredients," Megumi said talking about the boy with light hair

"And panda"

"There's one more, okkotsu, who's the only one I genuinely respect" Megumi mumbled before getting up

"But he's overseas right now"

"You're not adding more about the panda named panda?" Nobara murmured

"He's panda" Shiori shrugged

"The truth is we'd like for you all to participate in the Kyoto sister school exchange event." panda said with a meek smile

"Kyoto sister school exchange event?" Nobara repeated, "what's that?"

"It's a get-together with the other tech school in Kyoto" Megumi answered

"Isn't that event mainly second and third years?" Shiori brought up

"Yeah and those stupid third-years are suspended right now so you need to participate" Maki said

"What do you do at this event? Smash bros? I won't lose if it's the WII version. I'll meteor smash so you can't come back" Nobara smiled
