Mrs. Dale (Class 1-A teacher), started the roll call the moment all seats got occupied.
"Liam Hades"
Liam stood up and introduced himself in front of the class. Everyone clapped and the girls started gossiping how attractive he is. Liam who's tired and used to it immediately sat down and started staring at the window.
Mrs. Dale: Liam, I congratulate you for having the highest score on our entrance exam. Everyone, let's clap for Liam.
His classmates and teacher clapped for him but rather than being happy, he got frustrated.
His thoughts are currently filled with
"Did the future really change?"
"In the past, Yui got the highest score and I was second."
"Is it because I know all the answers now?"
"Did something really change?"
"Will I ever see her again?"
His face doesn't show it but he's definitely anxious on what will happen. When the roll call finished, their homeroom teacher said she have to go to the faculty room and announced that there will be no classes the whole day.
Indeed there's no classes but your subject teachers will visit in order to introduce their selves, Mrs. Dale said that and left the room. After their teacher left, everyone started to talk to their acquaintances except for Liam who doesn't have any friends and old classmates. He wants to talk with his past life's friends like Julius and Leih but he's got reasons why he's not approaching the two.

He heard the girls gossip about him but he didn't even bother listening to them until Julius interrupted the girls talk.
Julius: Fuck, Liam there Liam that. He looks fucking gay so what do you like about him?!
Yes, Julius is an asshole. Liam only became friends with him when he won against Julius on a game of VR.
He do feel insulted by the "gay" but he decided to ignore him.
That was the plan but...
Julius approached him and said,
"Do you like the attention?!"
"I hate it"
Liam replied with an empty look on his eyes. He's about to walk out but a hand stopped him. It was Iris.
Iris: Julius, you should get along with Liam. He didn't do anything wrong to you right? Will you apologize to him?
Everyone sided with Iris thinking she's a "saint". Julius who's originally stubborn got swayed on her sweet voice and apologized to Liam.
Julius: Sorry man that was rude of me haha
Liam: Yeah it's fine
Iris smiled at Liam and everyone thought "They look good together"
"I guess we have a winner"
But those thoughts immediately got interrupted when Liam said this to Iris with a cold glare:
"Now that this nonsense fight is over will you let go of my hand now? I don't like germs."
A girl started snickering and said
"Pft, that's what you get for being flirty"
Iris got offended but ignored it because she doesn't want her reputation to be ruined.
She said sorry and immediately bowed before Liam.
Liam: You better not touch me again without consent.
He finally got to walk out and he slammed the door. He then looked around the 1st years rooms but he didn't see Yui.
Even though there's no sight of Yui everywhere, he decided not to give up.
He went to the second floor and he approached one person who could help him out and that's Izumi. He's Yui's cousin.

Luckily, Izumi is on Zian's class. He talked to his sister and asked her to go get him. Zian is a bit confused but did get Izumi in the end.
Izumi: What do you need?
Liam: I want to talk to you privately.
Izumi suggested that they should go to the rooftop. When they arrived there, Liam finally asked
"Where is Yui?"
Izumi: How do you know her? Do you need something from her?
Liam: Answer my question first.
Izumi: Listen here, you might be Zian's little brother and I get along with you normally but how do you even know Yui?
How do you even know the fact that I know her?
Liam: You're a spitting image of your father, Arata Izumi.
Izumi: Do you know my father?
Liam: I only know his face.
Izumi: Hmm. Then how do you know Yui? I won't tell any information about her unless you answer my question.
Liam: I met her 6 years ago.
Izumi: So?
Liam: I just want to ask what state she's in.
Izumi: Is she your puppy love or something? I remember Yui mentioning the name Liam before but who knew that would be you.
Liam: I don't know about that puppy love, I just want to know what she's doing.
Izumi sighed and said
"After she got into comatose"
Liam panicked and instantly replied,
Wait a minute! A comatose?!
Izumi: You didn't know? And here I thought you're aware that she's the girl who got comatose after the ship incident.
Since you don't know, I guess I have no more reason to tell where is she right now.
Liam: Wait! Please tell me more!
Izumi cut him off by telling that he's got a class to attend within 5 minutes.
After he left, Liam became speechless with a despair look on his face.
