Had he been given the choice, Mob would have opted out of this whole mentorship program. It isn’t that he doesn’t like kids, or that he wouldn’t like to have someone to talk to besides his younger brother. That would be nice, actually. It’s just that he’s not really good with people, and there’s some pressure involved. The upperclassmen are expected to guide the youngest Eden students not only in the school’s customs and etiquette, but academically as well, and neither are areas in which Mob excels. If anything, he might be better off learning from a first-grader when it comes to math at this rate.
Unfortunately, it’s a mandatory part of the eighth grade curriculum. Anya Forger and Shigeo Kageyama are the last pair to be announced at the program initiation, and there are a few scattered snickers around the room, remarking on the cruel irony of Mob being paired with one of the first grade’s worst students, others laughing at Anya’s misfortune for being paired with someone as boring as Mob. Mob’s thinking hard about whether it’s better or worse that Anya’s not a great student either; on the one hand, they’d be more or less on the same level, but on the other, he’s not confident he can do much to help her improve her grades.
There’s a little meet and greet once the pairs have been announced, giving the mentors and mentees a chance to get to know each other. Most of the other pairs have already joined together by the time Mob makes his way over to Anya, by which time they mostly seem to have forgotten he exists.
“Anya…right?” he says, and after a moment, he holds out a hand. “I’m Shigeo.”
No one around him seems to call him that, though; every other student, when they bother to think of him, only ever thinks of him “Mob”.
