Ryuu sighed as he tossed aside a bunch of papers on his desk.

"And there goes tomorrow's lesson plans," he muttered to himself as he got up.

Ever since he became a teacher at Athalia Academy, the otaku realized how aggravating a line of work could be- especially under the supervision of Maria Cross. She was the type who would go "OH MY GOD, THIS IS SO BORING" and throw all of her paperwork in the air and potentially shove it into the hands of random faculty members.

And that was not exactly the most pleasant thing to do at the academy. Not when he had his own work to fulfill.

But he did understand Maria's perspective, for he soon shouted to himself while clutching his head, "OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS SO BOOOORING!!!"

The dark-haired teacher sighed as he shook his head. He decided to refresh his brain.

Walking out of his classroom, the sunglasses-wearing teacher put his hands in his jacket as he walked down a hallway like a bored gangster. Some habits never died, and that truly was the case with the emotional aura he emitted all-too-easily and his idle actions.

[i]I'm gonna go crash at a bench or something,[/i] he thought as he turned to find Andromeda flying towards him.

[i]So this is one of those days, isn't it?[/i]

"[b]AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-[/b]"

As the man screamed, Andromeda crashed straight into him, her knee colliding against his face as he propelled towards the ground. Landing roughly, the otaku let out a pathetic cough before he returned to reality as he looked up at Andromeda's direction.

A girl was on top of him.

A three-dimensional girl that totally existed was on top of him. Unlike the sexy two-dimensional women he encountered, Andromeda did not feel like his hand.

And he totally did not want to think about why that popped up in his mind.

"Watch where you're going, Andro!" The otaku exclaimed as a bit of blood seeped out of his nose (not because of the impact). "Geez, your luck with stairs is going to go to places if this keeps up."

He knew of Andromeda for quite a long time now. Though they never talked all too often, they still found each other to be good people. Perhaps they were even friends, considering that they knew each other for over years at that point.

"Also," Ryuu commented as his face continued to redden, "if you don't get up, I don't mind, but... at the same time I do mind.

"...

[H3]"JUST GET OFF OF ME!!!"[/H3]

A dark-haired girl sat next to a shelf in the library, flipping pages at a moderately slow pace. Her frail form lay still in one of the less visited corners of the place, the book on her knees the only thing she focused on. One by one, a page was flipped as Aurelia Triniel read an autobiography of an inventor.

She continued to read in silence.
