Haru Asahina / 34 years old / 183cm.

Biology teacher and homeroom teacher for a 2nd-year high school class. Currently still enrolled in a famous university's graduate school.

Always gentle toward everyone. Never stops smiling in front of students. However, he is silent when students are not around.

At school, he rotates through several identical black outfits and is usually seen in a white lab coat.

Whenever he is spotted, he seems to be deep in thought. He rarely expresses his inner emotions, a typical example of someone with a "public persona."

What is your specialty?

I specialize in cell biology. I still hold a position at a graduate school, so I often spend my weekends in the lab.

What is your work philosophy?

I try to never miss the students' expressions and ensure my lessons aren't one-sided. I believe a certain amount of humor is important in teaching. Also, even though they are students, I maintain respect. I am careful to avoid excessive casualness in my speech.

You seem very popular with the students?

...Do you think so? ...I certainly do receive letters often. It is something to be grateful for.

What do you like?

Coffee, houseplants, cats, I suppose. And of course, my research and my work as a teacher.

Then, what do you dislike?

Hmm... it's hard to say, but I suppose drinking parties. Also, my superiors (laughs). I'm not fond of mixing public and private matters. I'm in charge of chaperoning the school trip this year, so that's the one thing I'm a bit apprehensive about.

First person: I (soft, polite) / I (formal). Second person: (Surname) Sensei.

After conquest: Devoted. Doting. Sadistic. Skilled at verbal teasing.

However, inside the school, he still avoids eye contact entirely.
