A week passes and it's time for the sports clubs to start practicing again. The membership drive is in two weeks, so managers are busy preparing for the event.

"Have you heard that Kitou-sensei retired?" Yuuka mentions as you two walk to the gym.

You recall the elderly man, who was the club's adviser. He sat on the bench overseeing the practices and drank tea while cheering up the students. The coach tended to be strict on her team, so it was Kitou-sensei's gentle approach that softened her harsh blows.

Most of the girls called him "gramps" since it felt as if he was everyone grandpa. A sad smile appears on your face at the thought of him leaving. "That means we have no club adviser?"

"Yes, I wonder who they replaced him with," Yuuka sighs. "We're going to have to coordinate a lot with the new adviser and get them up to speed with everything."

"I hope it's someone easy to talk to..."

You pause when you hear a commotion in the gym. Worried, you two rush inside to see a mob of girls. They all are fawning over someone in the middle, and due to their height, you can clearly see the perpetrator's face.

"Ikeda-sensei?" Yuuka gasps. "What are you doing here?"

"Ahh please help me," he calls out.

You both glance around and notice how majority of the girls aren't even part of the basketball team, though Aya is front and center in adoring the man. "What do you want to do, Yuuka?"

Yuuka stares the girls down and begins to yell, "IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE GIRL'S BASKETBALL TEAM, YOU ARE TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW!"

No one budges, and they only give her a fraction of their attention before returning to Ikeda-sensei. Her determination deflates, but you quickly hand her the clipboard with an idea. "I have the roster here. We can do a roll call and those who aren't in it can leave."

Yuuka smiles at your quick thinking. "ROLL CALL! IF YOU AREN'T CALLED, YOU WILL BE FORCEFULLY KICKED OUT!"

As soon as Yuuka starts calling out the names, the basketball team forms on one side of the gym. The rest of the girls are awkwardly standing there, and when the tension becomes too much, they begin to disperse. Thankfully, the coach shows up with a stern look on her face that instantly makes the lingering girls scram.

"That was quick thinking, you two," Ikeda-sensei hums in approval as he waltzes over to your side. "I thought I'd be eaten up by them."

You tense a bit and keep your gaze on anything but him. It's up to Yuuka to respond. "Right, well... [Name] is the one who thought of it. I just implemented it."

"Hmm... my students sure are smart."

Yuuka notices your discomfort and continues to talk. "Well, it IS the advanced classes, sensei. Anyways, why are you here?"

"Oh, I'm the new club adviser," he states plainly.

"I see. Well, I'm the head manager for the club, and [Name] is the assistant manager," she explains.

He nods his heads. "Having you guys in my homeroom will certainly make my job easier. I look forward to working with you two."

"Likewise," Yuuka beams.

It appears your withdrawal from the conversation concerns your teacher, and he peers intently at your face. "[Name]?"

"Ah!" You gather up your courage and look him in the eye. Again, their dazzling color draws you in, but you still refuse to trust this man. "L-Let's have a nice season," you bow your head slightly before scurrying off to find some work to do.

And once again, your actions peak his interest and a small smile forms on his lips. "Yes, let's."
