Budo Masuyama was angry when he realized that his classmate had hurt the girl he likes but, he kept his cool as he pulls in a cheerful look on his face as he tries to direct Ayano's attention to something else.

Before Budo can say anything, a voice is heard from behind them. Budo and Ayano turn around to see Ayano's best and only friend in the whole school; Midori Gurinish: a teenage girl who stood at 5'4 in height, long emerald green hair that reaches her mid-back, pale tan skin, dark green eyes, and in the full female uniform of Akademi. The only things that were different was that she had emerald green crew cut socks, green and white sneakers and a green and white backpack on.

Midori greeted Budo and Ayano a good morning, but stopped when she noticed that Ayano's eyes were slightly red. Indicating she was crying. And imdeatly she began to nearly shout as she asked Ayano dozens of questions a minute, wanting to know who made Ayano cry. As this was going on, more students were walking past the three with confusion or amusement on their faces. Eventually Ayano managed to calm down her hyper active friend and told her that she was fine, but that she will tell Midori what happened later. And with that, the three students turn back to face the school and walk towards the main entrance.

Passing the school gate where the gym teacher, Kyoshi Tachibana:  a tall woman in her mid 20's with shoulder length blond hair, dark tan skin, an athletic build, and is wearing a red track suit with a single white strip down the arms and legs, red and white sneakers and a silver whistle around her neck.

Kyoshi-sensei was saying good morning to all the students who walked past the gate and head for the main entrance were the students shoe lockers were kept. The students walked towards their lockers and changed out of their outdoor shoes and put on their school issued white and blue indoor shoes. And after that, the students were free to do as they pleased.

Once Budo, Ayano and Midori left their shoe lockers and began to walk down the hallway. Eventually Budo told the girls that he will be heading towards the Martial Arts Club, and told the pair to come there where ever they want to, but he make sure to tell Ayano to come to him if she is not feeling well.

She agreed and Budo gave her one last hug, before he released her and wished her a good day at school, as he walks up the stairs and heads for his club.
