Meeting in the strangest place

As Ryuji stepped into the room, his eyes were immediately drawn to a familiar sight: a blonde woman's body hurtling backwards, on the verge of collapse. Reacting swiftly, he reached out, his hand finding purchase on her arm, preventing her from hitting the ground.

"Kya!?"

Her lovely voice echoed, and she struggled momentarily before looking back at Ryuji. Her eyes formed a sharp gaze before she realised who he was, and they seemed to loosen.

"Ryuji, the transfer student?"

"Ah, the hot girl with a cute smile. Erika, right?"

Alan, who entered a moment after, could only look at his newest investment with a strange look. 

"Are you picking up women again, Ryuji?"

"Technically, yeah," Ryuji answered while his hand literally held her in the air, causing Erika's face to turn pink before she hopped from his arm. Her long blonde hair was tied in a high ponytail, but the thickness made it look like an enormous tail.
