NEVER HAVE I EVER , SCARAMOUCHE

V. NEVER HAVE I EVER SKIPPED CLASS

As Cyno and Y/n entered the office, Cyno's gentlemanly nature shone through as he pulled out a chair for Y/n to sit beside him. Y/n smiled gratefully and took her seat, feeling the warmth of this small gesture. They both settled down, and a comfortable silence enveloped them for a moment before they dove into their usual lively conversations.

"So, Y/n," Cyno began, his voice tinged with mischief, "the age-old question: apple juice or orange juice? Which one do you think is better?"

Y/n chuckled, knowing that Cyno always had a knack for starting quirky conversations. "Well, Cyno, I have to say, I'm on team apple juice. The sweetness and crispness just can't be beaten."

Cyno raised an eyebrow, pretending to ponder the choice. "Interesting, but I have to respectfully disagree. Orange juice wins for me because of the tanginess and refreshing taste. Plus, it's great for Vitamin C or whatever."

Before Cyno could fully express his love for orange juice, their conversation was abruptly interrupted by one of the office staff members walking into the room. A hint of panic flashed across both Y/n and Cyno's faces as they realized they couldn't be caught in the office without a legitimate reason.

Quick on his feet, Cyno subtly stood up and greeted the staff member with a polite smile. "Oh, excuse me. I have an appointment with Y/n. It's quite urgent, actually." His words flowed smoothly as he improvised.

The staff member eyed them curiously for a moment, then shrugged dismissively. "Alright, just make sure it doesn't take too long. We're quite busy here." With that, the staff member left the room, leaving Y/n and Cyno in a mixture of relief and amusement.

Y/n couldn't help but let out a soft giggle. "Phew, Cyno, that was a close call. Thank you for coming up with a quick save for us."

Cyno grinned, pride evident in his eyes. "Of course, Y/n. Friends have to watch out for each other, even in situations like this." He sat back down, and they both shared a moment of silent gratitude.

Once Cyno informed Y/n that he needed to grab a paper from the front desk, citing research on a student he had an appointment with, Y/n nodded understandingly and assured him it was fine. Cyno excused himself and left the office, leaving Y/n alone with a sense of curiosity lingering in her mind.

A couple of minutes passed, and Y/n found herself growing a bit bored. With a hint of mischief in her eyes, she quietly decided to delve into Cyno's desk, unable to resist her nosiness. The desk was filled with files on all the students in Akademiya, but it was the peculiar ones that caught her attention. She stumbled upon a file titled "Two Female Students, Arlecchino and Coloumbina Found Making Out in the Women's Restroom." Her eyes widened in surprise at the scandalous discovery, marveling at just how eventful school life could be.

As Y/n continued sifting through the files, her gaze landed on a document about her seatmate in fourth period, Haypasia. The revelation that Haypasia was the science teacher's daughter surprised Y/n, making her wonder about the dynamics within that family. But what truly caught her attention was Scaramouche's file.

Y/n's eyes scanned it carefully, noting the regular details such as his appearance and grades, but the fact that he consistently scored perfect grades intrigued her. It was unusual for someone with a reputation as a delinquent, and it piqued Y/n's interest.

After her adventure of nosing around Cyno's belongings, Y/n grew tired and decided to put everything back where it belonged. Just as she settled back into her seat, Cyno returned, carrying the paper he had been searching for. He explained that it took a bit longer than expected to find it, as it included a student identification number that he needed to cross-reference with their grades.
