Chapter 321: Prologue: Horikita Manabu’s Monologue. 12


    There are some things people would find strange if they were to hear about it. The truth is, I didn''t choose this school because I had something I wanted to carry out or anything. I had lived with the intent of bing a talented person yet I had no particr destination in mind. Politician, doctor, researcher, I didn''t aim for any of that.


    For better or for worse, I''ve lived my life making sure to not stir anything up. I indifferentlyplete my assignments and spent my days that way. Being a ''role model''. Being ''exemry''. I believed that to be the right thing to do and never once questioned it. However, Nagumo Miyabi took one action after another as though to directly oppose me. A person who cuts their way through, that may how that man can be described.


    As a matter of fact, until I graduate, I had already given up on taking action. I had failed to make a friend I could say I trust from the bottom of my heart. I have yet toprehend it. After 3 years, I''ve finally realized. My own ''mistake'' and the ''regret'' it led to. And, that this is the ''beginning''.
