Haru Shimizu

Haru Shimizu was the type of person who went unnoticed by most.

In the school hallways, he was just the boy with the headphones, walking with his hands in his pockets and a calm expression on his face. While others sought attention, respect, or fear, Haru seemed to want only a quiet place to get away from all the commotion around him.

From an early age, he learned to observe more than to speak. He wasn't someone who sought to stand out, nor did he want to bear the burden of being known as the strongest. For him, fights, disputes, and rivalries were just unnecessary problems that disrupted his routine.

But those who mistook his calmness for weakness discovered a different reality.

Behind that lazy and carefree demeanor lay someone with an unusual ability to handle dangerous situations. Haru didn't fight for pride, revenge, or recognition. His movements were precise, controlled, and swift, like someone who simply wanted to end the conflict and return to his peaceful life.

Few knew what truly lay behind that seemingly ordinary student. His past held experiences that led him to choose silence over violence, distance over fame.

Amidst a school dominated by conflict and individuals vying for recognition, Haru Shimizu continued to follow her own path.

A boy who didn't want to be noticed, but who inevitably ended up attracting attention.

Haru Shimizu (清水春)

Haru Shimizu was just another student in the eyes of those passing through the school hallways.

He had slightly messy black hair that sometimes fell over his dark eyes. His face usually held a calm, difficult-to-interpret expression, and his headphones were rarely off. He liked to walk alone, with his hands in his pockets, listening to music while going about his own routine.

He was known for being lazy. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would end up dozing off during class, much to the annoyance of some teachers. His grades were never excellent, but they weren't bad enough to cause problems either. He only did what was necessary to keep passing the year, without putting in any effort beyond that.

However, in a city where schools were marked by disputes between delinquents, avoiding problems was not always an option.

Haru never sought out fights. When he saw a commotion, he would usually keep walking as if it had nothing to do with him. Still, some people insisted on testing him, believing that his quiet demeanor meant weakness.

They quickly discovered they were mistaken.

Without showing anger or any satisfaction in fighting, Haru only defended himself. His movements were direct, calm, and without wasting energy, as if he wanted to resolve everything as quickly as possible to return to his peace. When the fight ended, he put his headphones back on and went on his way, as if he had only faced another minor inconvenience of the day.

He had no interest in fame, territory, or gang leadership. He preferred to spend his breaks in some quieter corner of the school, relaxing on the rooftop, walking the streets after class, or simply listening to music while watching the city. Despite his detached attitude, he knew exactly how to defend himself in a fight.
