A new day arrived and not a regular one on top of that. The start of the new university year went in, a lot of new faces walking around the campus leisurely. Some came because they really wanted to succeed in their respective course, others wanted to try it out and see if it fit their mindset and others… well, they just went because they had nothing better to do or didn’t feel like working yet. The sun broke through the clouds today, making the temperatures rise. It wasn’t that hot yet but it was starting to feel good finally. Only needing a cardigan or something now to put around to walk around in. It was not the time yet for cherry blossom viewing but it was coming close. An excellent day trip to go watch them when one had time. Also, one of the more popular tourist periods as crowds would form at the more known spaces such as Shinjuku Gyoen.
Yoichi and Toma made their way into the direction of Tokyo Uni where they would be working together for another year. It was a nice place to work at after all, the pay was pretty good too. What was there to hate about. The students? Well, sometimes… Everybody could have a bad day. Yoichi was full on talking while Toma just responded with the occasional hum or short words. It went like this most of the time as Toma didn’t deal well with early mornings. Not really needing to walk for since they both lived about fifteen minutes away by foot. The perfect location as how they would describe it.
Upon arriving, the two of them parted ways as Toma had a meeting with the other professors because of the new schoolyear. They needed to do some preparations for the upcoming days or at least discuss about what they were going to do. Most would just start with their introduction lesson, letting the students become comfortable with the subject or regret their choices at that exact moment. Yoichi however didn’t need to do that, instead he wandered around the campus and helped out with sticking posters to the walls for optional “clubs” the students could join. The most popular one was the rugby team so it seemed.
Trying to juggle the flyers on one arm and stapling with the other. It was going fine but he definitely was having some trouble with it, hoping that no strong breeze would set up or everything could go flying at once. Meaning that he would need to scramble and pick every one of them up again. Talk about a serious chore… Meanwhile Toma arrived in the teacher’s lounge where they could assemble to talk about things. Everything was still fairly relaxed, not all of them had arrived yet so they could eat their breakfast now they still could. Going for a coffee to wake him up for what was about to come. He didn’t exactly want to fall asleep on the spot which had already occurred in the past. It wasn’t a pretty sight as the principal wasn’t too happy with it.
