"Good morning, everyone. It's good to see everyone in a good mood." Watanabe replies cheekily, a smug smile tugging at his mouth. 
Tsuyoshi watches the seasoned seniors talk with a mixed expression. On his face, there's as much overwhelming excitement as there is anxiety, but he rides the backseat in the conversation while Watanabe banters with the other teachers. He makes sure to catch every face in the room, repeating their names in his head to remember. Then, he notices a younger face. But before he can form any impression, Watanabe gives him a hardy slap on the back. 

"Go ahead, Suzuki, introduce yourself." 

He holds in a squeak of surprise and quickly bows. His sudden movement causes his stiff collar to unfold, sitting awkwardly on his neck as he comes back up. 

"R-Right! I'm Suzuki Tsuyoshi! It's a pleasure to meet all of you! I'm excited to be working together." Without thinking he holds up a peace sign, a habit he picked up during his college days. He quickly covers the peace sign with his other hand, balling them both up into a fist. He hoped it would put a quick end to any more embarrassing moves. 

Watanabe looks at the staff member Tsuyo had noticed before. His weary eyes seem to light up with an idea. "Right. Sugiyama, you're still young and spry compared to all of us geezers here, hm? Why don't you get Suzuki properly settled in, then?"
