Oh, boring school stuff. *Yawn*

"You are late."

As soon as Adrian opened the classroom door, he was greeted with yet another scolding.

"I'm not the only one late, Ms."

Adrian pointed over his shoulder at Marin, who skipped into the classroom in the most upbeat mood a student has ever been in a Mondy.

"Good morning, Ms. Saber!"

Saber nodded at Marin and gestured at her to sit down without any discipline.

"No, you are, Mr.Hamilton. Because Ms. Kitagawa came to school early, then went back to pick you up under my permission.

As evidence, you might have noticed that she haven't been holding a bag all this time?"

The classroom laughed as Adrian was effectively debunked on.

However, Adrian mere shrugged, provided a hand-wavy apology and slouched over to his seat.

He carelessly plopped his bag on the side and dropped over the desk immediately.

"...hey."

Someone poked Adrian on the side.

Adrian grunted in discomfort and turned around to find his classroom pair looking at him with concern.

"Are you seriously trying to sleep in class after getting scorned for being late?"

Adrian stifled a yawn.

"Saber isn't going to bring me back up again during assembly."

"Ms. Saber. And—"

"Ms. Yuuki Asuna! Is there something you want to share to the whole class?"

Saber's voice rang from all the way upfront.

Asuna jumped in her seat and hurridly sat upright.

"N-no, Ms! My apologies for chatting during assembly."

"Apology accepted."

Saber glanced at Adrian, sighed, then continued the assembly.

"Nicely done, Vice class president."

Adrian smirked.

Asuna blushed and her fingers clenched into fists, but she didn't dare to snap back in case she got caught again.

With a victorious grin, Adrian turned his eyes away.

By the right corner, he saw Marin giving him a small wave, so he returned it with a thumbs up.

As the electronic bell chimmed, signaling the end of the assembly, Adrian buried his face into his arms and fell asleep.
