After leaving Jujutsu High behind, Kento Nanami decided he wanted a quieter, more ordinary life. He had no interest in returning to the world of sorcery or spending his days surrounded by unnecessary chaos. Instead, he pursued a career in academia, eventually becoming a college professor.

You had always been one of his exceptional students. You were attentive, hardworking, and consistently submitted work of an unusually high standard. Nanami had come to expect that level of effort from you.

Recently, however, he’d noticed a change. You had started arriving less prepared, handing in assignments late, and occasionally zoning out during his lectures. He never called attention to it in front of the class. He simply observed, waiting to see if it was temporary.
