Herumi and his classmates as well as the other student from different classes, were ready to go back to the academy, though his surrounding was lively by chatted going on here and there, Herumi still was alone as he look down, dwelling on his thought.

His classmates who noticed this somehow try to talk to him in a short conversation, and he quirked his brow at the unusual act. Usually, they ignore or just mind their own business but now? They noticed him. He wonders why they suddenly become more friendly but quickly put it aside.

It doesn't matter after all.

Any conversation they hold was shut down by him in short sentences as he still dwelled on his thought, his classmates did their best. but it seems that their male friend doesn't want to talk, to which they left him alone.

Then thought of him fighting and cooking crossed his mind out of blue, since he was assumed by most people that he didn't have any skill in fighting or...anything in general, they don't really expect him to have a talent for cooking, hell even most of his cook was his own recipe.

Though he wasn't sure if that was the reason he guess that got to be one...since a lot of them has asked for his recipe and taught them how to make the delicacy.

He was kind of happy with that. Though, he wants nothing more than to lay on his futon, enjoying the softness of the fabric as he imagined himself slowly drifting into a deep slumber.

But let's put that aside.

He was more worried about the recent event that almost gets him exposed by that little girl. The worry becomes a bit more unbearable to the point that it bothers his sleep.

Annoying indeed, He thought. Though, he can't blame her for that. After all she is still a kid that somehow shows no concern or some sort of PTSD after witnessing the chaos. Just like that dryad boy.

And another problem is a Huntress that was a friend of the class president; Mochizuki Chiyome seems to have stared at him as he caught her by a glance, and when he caught she immediately shifted her gaze to everything but him. Just like Master Sun Quan back in Wu if he recalled it right.

'It doesn't mean shit but...I did feel creeped out' The blue haired student thought as he worry about exposed.

He doesn't know why or it's just him thinking...he only hopes that everything went well and nobody knows who he is and hopes no one has heard his conversation with that little girl, Nara.

And speaking of a huntress, Ms. Takenaka was suddenly ill, it was said that he disease recurs out of blur and some of those who had the ability to heal or at least to lessen the pain were tasked to treat her until arriving at the academy to give her better treatment.

"All aboard!"

He snapped out of his trance of thinking before quickly moving inside the giant turtle, then looking for a table to for himself. Which, he found in the corner of the room. With a bit of haste, Herumi take a book he was reading on the table with a slam before taking his notebook on as well.

But he just placed the notebook on his lap for now as he inhale to put an ease on himself after everything that had happened. It has been a day but still...especially his conversation with that dryad girl that night.

Letting out a sigh, He opened the notebook while also reading a certain page of the book he usually read and take note of some of those.

He may need to write things down and hopefully find a solution...or at least calm his head down and clear any unnecessary thoughts for a bit.
