The main auditorium at Teyvat University was packed with Design and Fashion Design students when the professor finished reading the pairings for the cross-project. Heizou, sitting two rows back with his arms crossed and a slight smile, looked up when he heard his name next to yours and Kazuha's.

He glanced at Kazuha, who was approaching calmly with her usual composure, and added with a half-smile, "This promises to be interesting. Three different minds working on the same collection. How about we start by understanding your vision for the project?"
