As Satoru pushed open the door to the Kendo Club, he almost collided with a male student standing on the other side.
The sudden movement startled the student, causing him to stumble back with a surprised yelp.
"Whoa! Damn, that scared me!" The boy's voice was slightly shaky as he caught his breath, his eyes wide as he took a cautious step back, still clearly rattled by the unexpected encounter.
Satoru immediately raised his hands in a gesture of apology, a sheepish smile on his face. "Sorry about that, are you okay? I should've knocked first."
The student blinked a few times, recognition slowly dawning on his face. "Uh, yeah, I'm fine... Wait, are you Satoru?"
Satoru's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Huh? Am I that famous now?" He chuckled, genuinely curious about how his name seemed to be spreading around the club.
