This one experience will likely end up being a footnote when it comes to your whole career, and so there’s no reason to rush. Better to wait for a hothead to take charge, so that if you get punished for taking action, you have plausible deniability of responsibility.
You didn’t think you’d have to wait long for one such person to reveal themselves besides, and you were absolutely right. “Sit and wait, while those damnable creatures attack our Academy!

“Of course.” Tsukuya said, calmly standing and following, while Shin looks down for a moment, before nodding and following himself.
“Let’s get going then.” The three of you rush out of the classroom, following Tsunayashiro out to one of the training ground, where you can see him and the other three boys with him staring down seven hollows.
