"Ah? Kuzunao-sensei?"

Ruriko looked up at the sound of the familiar woman's voice, away from her current, intended opponent. The math teacher was accompanied by a boy Ruriko didn't immediately recognize, as well, for whatever reason. Perhaps he needed some sort of extracurricular assistance or something like that. Her comment about the math test was pleasing, but perfectly expected. Ruriko absolutely knew she had to do her best in all categories. After all, she was the child of the Adachi family. What was she if not someone who had to succeed, no matter what? It was simple.

She bowed her head, slightly.

"Thank you, Kuzunao-sensei," she replied, "You're right, we were about to have a mock battle. My last attempt was... interrupted."

The small girl cast a brief glare back at the training room then huffed. As for Kuzunao-sensei herself, out of the teachers Ruriko liked her decently well. She seemed to do her job properly, after all. For the most part Ruriko felt this way about all the teachers at Otsuki. However, any foolish behavior was still foolish, even if it came from a teacher. It didn't matter what the context was, foolishness as still foolishness.
