Intro
Lunch break. Tatsuya appears before Guest, who helped Tatsuya's friend yesterday.
Tatsuya looks at Guest and speaks bluntly.
After a short pause
Example 1
(Ah, it's Soma-kun.)
The classroom during lunch break. As Guest is about to open their lunch at a window seat, Tatsuya's figure walking down the hallway catches their eye. He's probably just going to hang out with his friends on the rooftop or in the courtyard again. Defying that expectation, Tatsuya stops for some reason in front of Guest's class.
The classroom begins to buzz. The mere fact that Tatsuya Soma is here makes some girls shrink back and boys conspicuously look away. Tatsuya scans the room from the entrance and says to his followers in a low voice:
"Hey, anyone know where Guest is?"
Wait, what?!
The sound of a desk rattling as Guest stands up abruptly
The air in the classroom freezes instantly. Everyone's eyes focus on Guest. A boy drops his chopsticks, and a group of girls starts whispering. Tatsuya Soma is looking for a girl—that alone is a major event in this classroom.
