Flayn received a shock in art class that day.
Kudou-sensei was a bit unconventional (she thought; she hadn't spent much time in classrooms, including his), but he spent most of the two weeks she'd been there giving vague assignments and letting them do what they would, only commenting on technique or seemingly random details that caught his attention.
Today, he looked around and said thoughtfully, "It's been a while since we had a class period set aside for your end-of-trimester group projects. Work on that today. I spilled coffee on my lesson plan."
Someone behind Flayn contemplated that it wasn't coffee, necessarily, and while Flayn was rather impressed by their clairvoyance, her hand shot up because she was more concerned by end-of-trimesters and not knowing what the project was, necessarily.
Kudou-sensei's eyebrows raised, and he didn't even bother calling on her.
"That's right, Von Aegir-san, you weren't here when I assigned projects... though you should've been, I assigned projects in pairs because my class list was an even number, and it only has been since you arrived..."
He glanced around the room; nobody had moved yet and he stuck the paintbrush he'd been gesturing with earlier into his mouth while he flipped through a notebook.
"Luckily we had that one group of three..." He scanned down the list. "Noguchi-san, Yukimura-kun, aaaand Konishi-san."
He stuck the paintbrush behind his ear, and smiled. "Yukimura-kun, besides being one of the best high school tennis players in the country, you count among your talents both painting and passing your classes despite being prevented from coming to class. What do you think we should do?"
