Experimental School, Integrated Research Center, outside the third-floor infirmary.
Click, click, click.
Kaiwen's long fingers typing rapidly on the keyboard suddenly paused, then withdrew.
She, wearing a white coat and with short black hair down to her shoulders, lifted her gaze from the screen and looked towards the door of the infirmary, seemingly waiting for something. Her exquisite and flawless face showed no expression, as if her emotions were equally unperturbed.
A minute later.
Footsteps sounded from outside the door.
First, there were three knocks, followed by the sound of the latch turning.
Click—
A black-haired boy pushed the door open and entered.
Unlike usual, the boy's demeanor and even his posture seemed a bit restrained, the kind that a well-behaved child should have after making a mistake.
"..."
No one noticed that when Kaiwen saw him like this, the tension at the corner of her eyes seemed to ease slightly.
"Teacher, I'm here."
