Senjin had almost doubled over to laugh as soon as the flustered girl's demeanor changed instantly.[i] "Nice to see your enthusiasm's still top-notch - keep that up and we can be good friends!"[/i] Maybe his last year won't be as monotonous as he'd thought.

Within the next few seconds, another girl had approached the two. Senji gawked at her brightly-colored hair as she introduced herself as "Emi".

[i]"Yo! I'm actually a third-year fella. Can't say the same for Taru right here, though."[/i]

The elder boy took a few steps forward and swiveled around to face the both of them, [i]"Looks like fate has been sending all these newcomers my way... must be my lucky day aye? WELCOME TO TAKAHASHI HIGH, GIRLS! Let's head into the auditorium now, before one of you decides to go MIA all of a sudden."[/i]

He led them both into the wide hall where most of the students should have gathered up for the opening ceremony that was to commence soon enough. There were three seats left untouched, Senji noted as he made his way towards the middle row, gesturing Emi and Hotaru to take a seat next to him.
