12. Meeting Someone

As one of the top 10 scorers, Akira easily enrolled in the course that he wanted.

It's already past ten when he finished and since he did not eat breakfast in the morning, his stomach already grumbled. He passed by the University's Canteen and planned to eat his brunch there.

The canteen was so big and spacious but he could already see a crowd of people lined up at the counter. Akira joined silently as he thought of what food he should order. He was in this state when suddenly someone bumped into his back.

"Oops! Sorry, sorry. I'm so sorry."

Akira saw two guys. Probably also a student. The one who bumped onto his back is a clean cut but a curly light  brown haired young man. One looked and you could tell he had mixed blood. He stands at the same height as him. He has eye glasses on but Akira could clearly see the light brown irises on both of his eyes. The guy is currently holding a book in his hand. 

The other guy on the back of the mixed blood guy was a little taller. Pure Japanese but also good looking. The guy looked like an athlete in his physical appearance.

"I told you to stop reading when you are walking." The taller guy reprimanded then looked to Akira and said;

"Sorry about that. This guy did not mean it."

"No, it's okay." Akira pardoned then returned back to the line as there was already a wide gap between him and the first person before him.

"You didn't warn me." Akira heard the mixed blood guy complain.

"My sister chatted with me so I didn't notice."

"Whatever. You are such a siscon."

"Hey, hey, stop it already okay?"

Akira was now putting some food on his tray while the duo on his back were already silent while also picking on their own food.

Akira chose a secluded corner to eat. He just got his first bite when he saw the duo walking towards his table of course in the lead of the mixed blood guy while the taller guy at the back looked a bit embarrassed.

"Hello there, can we join you?" The mixed blood guy charmingly asked which made Akira hard to decline.

"Yeah, sure." Akira answered after a few seconds. Although he preferred to be alone, he really can't say no since this is the canteen and truthfully he did not own the table.

"I am really sorry about earlier. I was so engrossed in reading the book." The guy said after sitting in front of him.

"No, it's really fine." Akira answered, then he continued eating his food.

The mixed blood guy smiled as he signaled the taller guy to also take a sit.

"By the way, I'm Ozaki Tomohiro and this guy is Ko Masayasu."

Akira gulped the food he chewed before he answered.

"I'm Yanase Akira, a freshman."

"Oh! So you are a freshman. In what department?"

"Pharmacology."

"A bit hard huh. Well I am in the Psychology department. This is my third year. Ko is in his second year in Mechanical Engineering. So if you have some problem with your vehicle you can ask him. He is quite good in that aspect."

Ko gave Akira an approving smile when he looked at him after Ozaki's introduction. 

The three then silently finished their food after some introduction.

"Hey, Aki-kun. Would you like to explore your new university? We would love to be your guide." Ozaki said as he did a gentleman bow while Ko at the back just smiled. The three of them were in the moment of leaving the canteen.

"Yeah, thank you." Akira was surprised to hear himself accept the offer. Though he had already explored the campus last time together with his late grandfather Akira still accepted the invitation.

Ozaki happily guided Akira. He was introduced to some place he did not enter last time. He also noticed that Ozaki seemed to be quite popular in every department they had gone to.

The last place they had stopped was the favorite place where the two usually hung out. It's still within the campus perimeter but it's quite secluded.
