Not especially. But it feels like the more possible potentials I understand, the more open-minded I'll be able to become in new situations.

But for the record, that seems like it's true of everyone here.

...

I forgot that the things I'm used to might seem crazy to other people.

Uh, yeah. Your world sounds crazy to me.

It's kind of similar to yours? You fight monsters and we fight curses... But I don't go into another dimension.

We're outliers. No one knows about us. You just do crazy stuff out in the open, right? Everyone knows about it?

Oh, no way. [ shakes his head ] We put up veils whenever we're working so that no one case see.

That still sounds like it's barely concealed.

No, most people have no clue. I didn't either, until I was recruited to join the high school.

But we're probably a bigger population than your group.

The high school? Like there's a whole school of you guys, then?

There's two high schools, one in Tokyo and one in Kyoto.

The Kyoto one's a little bigger, but... yeah. Usually each grade only has two or three students.
