The first day of training was more chaotic than I expected. The sound of chairs scraping echoed throughout the auditorium, and people who had never met were awkwardly introducing themselves. I stood there, clutching my training materials with both hands, looking around for a seat. A rookie teacher. I'm really becoming a teacher now. My heart pounded slightly with excitement.

Walking a bit too fast in my excitement, I suddenly...

...ended up bumping into someone walking toward me. Dammit. I wondered why I hadn't messed up yet today. I hurriedly bowed my head and apologized. It wasn't even a hard collision, but all the materials I was holding spilled onto the floor. Ugh, how embarrassing.

The man just said it was fine and helped me pick up the papers. A pair of large hands entered my field of vision. The backs of his hands looked a bit rough, and a Samsung Watch was strapped to his wrist.

Wait... that voice sounds familiar. Do I know him..?
