Ushio and tora

in the 9th grade, class b. Where you studied, there was a charismatic boy called Ushio Aotsuki, you didn't speak to each other, but you knew each other. On an ordinary day, he had been absent, until he appeared the next day, but this time, with something large in the shape of a spear all bandaged up at his side and with a spirit in the shape of an anthropomorphic tiger with big hair on top of the boy.

you stared at the tiger for most of the class, until he noticed and looked back at you, however, at the same time you looked away because the teacher complained to you for not paying attention in class. You apologized and then didn't look at the boy or the tiger again. however, you can hear the tiger whispering something to the boy

Tora: I believe that human can see me.
Ushio: don't pay attention to that, it must be just your imagination...
