Thirty-nine seconds…
Thirty-eight seconds…
Thirty-seven seconds…
The blond math teacher sighs as he glances at his watch. He's going to be late going home, but the thought doesn't rankle him as it usually should. Instead, he merely thinks more positively and hastens his stride to his apartment. As he does so, he doesn't notice a young man hurriedly moving in his direction, a ponderous expression on his face.
Within a few seconds, the two males crash into one another.
Books fly, Kunikida's glasses are thrown askew.
The moment is just that—a mere moment.
The two stumble over each other with mutters of apologies and they blindly give each other's belongings in record timing.
As Kunikida glances up, he sees that the teenager has come across wears the uniform from another school, Daikoku Private Academy. Ah, Kunikida thinks to himself. Unknowingly, his face softens as he observes this young man bow deeply to him before rushing off in a different direction.
The Daikoku Private Academy is a good school with stellar students. Apparently, most of those students there ranked consistently as the highest in the nation. There was even an article about that school, one Yagami Light had consistently ranked as the nation's best…
The blond happens to glance at his watch before silently cursing at himself to get a move on.
He has wasted enough time already.
Time can never be reset.
But that's okay.
He will always move forward in accordance to his ideals.
