Staring at the nameplate for my group, Goat, on a door on the second floor of the cruise ship, I sighed as I stepped forward, opening the door.
Inside, there was a table with chairs arranged in a circular formation.
I noticed that the room itself was still pretty spacious though, and also noticed that there were places to sit other than at the table.
But it seems that everyone was sitting at the table already.
"Am I the last one?" I mumbled, counting all of the heads.
It seemed so, and I closed the door behind me.
Just like I thought, there were only a few faces I recognized, and I noticed the face of one specific class C boy pale as he noticed me walk towards the group.
The moment I sat down, an announcement came over the speakers installed in the room.
"From this point onwards, we will begin with the first group discussion."
Followed by silence.
Looking around, it seems that everyone realized that someone would need to take action and do something, but nobody was doing it.
The air was rather awkward, and it wasn't getting better.
I cleared my throat, and all eyes turned on me as I came to a stand.
You can do this.
They're not judging you, observing you, picking you apart piece by piece in their minds, not really anyways.
"Well, um, I understand that nobody who's here really wants t-to be here, and that we'd all probably like to be eating something nice, or enjoying the sun, or the water or a nice massage right now, but regardless of t-that we're all here right now, so let's at least try and get along so that we're not counting the minutes down. If everyone is fine with it, w-why don't we start off with introductions? I'll go first."
Taking another breath, I continued.
"My name is Shizukana Tensai, and I am a part of class D."
Next to me, Onodera rose a hand.
"Hi! I'm Onodera Kayano, let's try and have fun!"
Wang smiled kindly as she went next.
"Hello, my name is Wang Mei-yu, I hope we all get along."
"Nice! What a great way to start this off!"
I smiled at the energetic man who gave me a thumbs up.
He stood up next, a big smile on his face, reminding me a bit of Hirata, but more free-spirited.
"Hey there! I'm Shibata So, and I'm in class B, it's a pleasure to meet you all."
He sat back down, and the others from his class also introduced themselves.
A shy looking girl weakly rose a hand.
"Hello, my name is Ninomiya Yui, it's nice to meet you."
Immediately after another girl rose her hand.
"Hey there, I'm Minamikata Kozue, I also hope we can have fun."
She seemed like a pretty sporty and kind girl, basically Onodera but kind of different?
It's like the key traits got flipped to another category.
It was then that someone with a face that could scare even adults spoke up.
Good old Kito Hayato.
"Hello, my name is Kito Hayato, I am in class A."
Simple, to the point, and made everyone think "creepy."
