"Uh? That's strange. I don't see her in her classroom," Agatsuma Zenitsu thought to himself as he peered into a First-Year Classroom, only to notice that he didn't see a particular brunette present at all. Shrugging his shoulders then, he proceeded down the stairs as he had to conduct his duty as a Disciplinary Committee member, which he never wanted to be part of the committee in the first place.

It had been a week ever since he had just started his final year in high school, and ever since the first day, he had been attracted to a particular first-year student, whom he has yet to find out about who she is and what was her name.

He only remembered the gentle sound she had radiating from her soul and how beautiful she looked. But he was known to be a simp, in fact, often whenever he bumped into a girl by accident, he would get down on his knees and beg for her to marry him.

Earning him slaps on the faces most of the time.

"Agatsuma, why are you still here? Don't you have duty to proceed with?" and Zenitsu tensed up as he turned to look and noticed Tomioka Giyuu, the Gym Teacher of Kimetsu Academy, was right behind him with his bamboo sword held in a hand, resting upon a shoulder.

"I-I'm going now!" Zenitsu cried out as he took off running towards the front gate. His eyes then widened as he looked at the time as it was a minute past the start of the homeroom period that always happens before the start of the official lesson.

He then sighed as he was excused from homeroom period, given how he had duties to carry out and he looked forward, only to have his brown eyes widened as he heard the familiar sound of the girl he had been looking out for earlier on.

He swallowed the lump in his throat as he had no choice but to stop her, given how Giyuu was right at the entrance of the school building where the lockers for shoes were placed at, and Zenitsu was at the front gate.

"Please stop," Zenitsu spoke out as he held a hand out, stopping the girl from running into the school building. He noticed how disheveled her hair was in and how she was panting slightly, probably due to running all the way to school.

"Ah? But... " she whispered out.

"You are late, I will need your name," he spoke out as he opened the Disciplinary Committee book and held a pen out. Her dark blue ocean eyes widened slightly at what he had just said and she had a rather unhappy look on her face.

"I'm late for only a minute, senpai," she spoke out and Zenitsu swore his heart was about to give way as he tried to stand his ground. He could feel the intense stare coming from Giyuu at the back, and he watched as the girl was hesitant to give her name.

"You are still late. Write down your name and class," he spoke out and the girl let out a sigh as she grabbed hold of the book and proceeds to write down her name and class. She then hands it back to him and she then looked at him.

"Akane [name], better remember it," she whispered out and soon took off running.

"Hey, I didn't say you could go!" he yelled out only to watch as she waved and ran past Tomioka Giyuu who didn't bother to stop her at all.

Zenitsu then smiled softly then as he looked at [name]'s name that was written in the book and he couldn't help but let his heart pound hard against his chest.

"Now I know her name," he whispered out and soon felt a punch on the back of his head.

"GET TO CLASS!"
