I stood inside Nasaki-sensei's office, and Asanuma-san was right, Kazai-sensei was on rage. The mean professor who failed me twive

"She can't! She already failed! Why does she need to stay in this school?! She needs to drop off the school-"

"Shut up, sensei!" I turned to Asanuma-san who was smirking "she's staying, and she will sign a contract with Dandelion now. You cannot change that fact. Just because she rejected you, are you crazy?"

"A-asanuma-san... h-how did you know...?"

"Ah, I listened to all your voice samples, and there's one specific recording mixed to it"

I made a deep thought and tried to remember the voice samples I had, but I didn't have anything on my mind

"Don't underestimate me. It's really fun listening to your voice samples, that I listened until the end" I blinked fast and still at lost "I sent that to the chairman, the result will be here soon"

And as what he said, the chairman arrived and talked to Kazai-sensei privately.

When they left, Nasaki-sensei told me the change on my schedule and I would be signing to Dandelion agency later. Asanuma-san was there, smiling creepily.

And the next thing we heard from the announcement, Kazai-sensei was fire out.

"This is really fun" I heard Asanuma-san commented behind me.

This is the person who inspired me to become a seiyuu, and now the person pushing me to be a pro. But somehow, he's doing it for his own pleasure.

"Now then, let's go. The director is expecting you today."

I excused myself as I followed Asanuma-san. And my curiosity was at peak

"Asanuma-san, what were you doing here in this school? Are you one of those once in a blue moon seiyuu who gives one chance to the students here?"

"What are you saying?" He asked me back and sighed "I know one of the professors here. She is helping me with a project"

"Oh so you are not that once in a blue moom seiyuu. I am thankful but this is still unbelievable. It's escalated so quickly"

"Now be prepare on the changes that will happen to you from now on. It will be a hectic one. It will not be an easy one, but make sure to have fun."

"I am nervous! Don't expect me to get used to it so easily! It is so sudden!" I whined but he laughed at me.

I met with the director and of course did a couple of recording to do. He was impressed, and Asanuma-san was so proud of himself.

I attended school the next day, but I attended 2 new classes, and both classes I had a beautiful professor.

And as we were in the middle of our lecture, a familiar face entered our class, making all of my classmates shouted in excitement

"Yahoo~! I am dropping by to see how things going on here!"

"Oh my gosh! It's Asanuma Shintaro-san!" They giggled and kept on backing out. Why are they running away from him?

"Oh, you are really here!" He laughed approaching me "I am here to give you this. Make sure to read it carefully and properly, by yourself" he winked as he handed a folder to me with my name on it

"Great Asanuma Shintaro, you are interrupting my class. Get lost"

"I am here to give these important files to my beautiful kouhai. And also, the files you asked me, I am here to deliver them. I am sure that you needed them today"

Asanuma-san handed a folder to her and somehow it makes sense now, the person who he always meet with here in this school. I wonder what is their relationship?

Ahre? Why do I feel someone stabbing me?

Our teacher excused herself and Asanuma-san followed her. But of course before she left, she gave us stuffs to do. And Asanuma-san,

"After my job, I need to talk to you. About the files I gave you. It's very important, so keep that on your mind"

"Yes, I will" I responded and looked at the folder in front of me but before I open, I flinched when my new classmates gathered around me, their eyes glimmering

"OMG! You are that (L/N) (F/N) who easily got in the agency of Dandelion!"

"Ah, y-yes..." they fawned over me and asked me how I did it. It hit me now. These were the students who passed all the prerequisite classes since there was no news about that one chance opportunity "I also don't know what happened" I responded since I remembered the director told me to keep the reason for now. They said to reveal it when I made my own name.

"Then what did Asanuma-san give to you?" They asked and I told them that I also didn't know and I must read it by myself.

They asked me questions and when they finally released me, I read what was inside.

Audition for a drama cd
Audition for Bandai Namico game

My eyes widened and felt nervous all of a sudden! Wait! Wait! Wait!

This is too much!

"I'm back! Did you read it?" Asanuma-san entered the class and again my classmates giggled

"Yes. I am surprised!"

"Me too! That was fast. That will be this coming Friday."

"This Friday?!" I asked in disbelief

"That's why you are coming with me"

"Huh?"

"Pack your things. We're going now"

And I couldn't help but rode on his fast pace, so I hastily grabbed my things and followed him.

"Asanuma-san, is it okay for me to leave school?! Also where are we going?!"

"It is okay. That's one of the changes. Your manager can get you out of your class anytime and it's normal."

"I see. Then where are we going?"

"I have a recording for an anime. I will bring you there and you need to observe and learn. This time, you will be in a real recording studio."

I felt nervous all of a sudden but I knew that it one day I would be in this situation. But it was really so fast.

~
We arrived on the recording studio, and I introduced myself, feeling the lump on my throat. He then introduced me to the other seiyuu that were there

I sat down beside Asanuma-san and not long after, they started the recording. I couldn't help but be entranced from their performance. As expected from pro seiyuus. The timing of how they stand up, the lips synchronization, and even the deliverance of their dialogue, everything was perfect.

I, I really wanted to be like them and I wanted to stand next to Asanuma-san, the person who inspired me, the reason why I wanted to be a seiyuu.

As I was entranced by them, I noticed that they suddenly looked at me.

"She is a kouhai of mine. You can use her if you want" I heard Asanuma-san said, and I couldn't process what was going on

"Okay, Asanuma-san, please tell her which part."

Asanuma-san sat down next to me and he was having a mischievous smile

"What's going on?" I whispered

"You are going to voice one of the students."

"Eh? W-wait-

"Make use of this opportunity. When everything goes well, you'll gain not just the experience but also the confidence for the audition." I wasn't able to retort from his reasoning and he started explaining to me the character I should voice. He gave me advises, and as expected, he gave me the critical points.

"Will I be able to do this properly?"

"Don't worry, you will. Calm down and visualize what I told you."

"Asanuma-san, you look so excited"

"Of course! I am having fun in this situation. This is very interesting you know"

I knew it!

Not long after, it was finally my turn, I would be talking to Amamiya Sora-san. This character is Amamiya-san's middle school classmate, a bubbly girl but in reality she is a sadist and very scary. Since the scene was when my character met Amamiya-san's character in their school festival, and I would be meeting her while she was being bullied.

I stood in front of the microphone, waited for my queue.

I started my lines in a high spirit, a different voice from my usual voice while greeting Amamiya-san's character asking what are they doing. Since my character has a split personality, at first my character was agreeing with what they do to Amamiya-san's character. However, !s what Asanuma-san told me, I changed my voice into cold, icy one, even my expression changed. It was the part when I asked them that I would be doing the same thing to them

And there was an interval, and the dream I only dreamt, Asanuma-san stood next to me as he and Sakurai Takahiro-san's characters showed up behind me. From the icy, cold one back to the bubbly one. I was so nervous, but good thing I was able to calm down and set these feelings aside.

And after that scene, I got an okay from the director and a round of applause from all of the seiyuu inside.

I couldn't help but be moved from this sudden success.

I turned to Asanuma-san, and as expected he was having a victorious smile.

There were more scenes and I was able to deliver them perfectly.

~skip time~

Because of that sudden opportunity given to me, I was drafted for another anime, with the same director. I also passed the audition. It was a minor character for the game, but for the drama cd, I got the villain part. Ah, they loved my icy, cold voice.

And everything was all thanks to Asanuma-san. And to make it more interesting, in the drama cd, Asanuma-san is my subordinate. I was with him lots of time, and my feelings are gradually changing, and I look at him differently from before. I look at him as a person who inspires me alot, but now... very different.

"How was the recording yesterday?" I turned to that voice and it Moriyama-sensei, the beautiful sensei who was so close to Asanuma-san

"Everything went well. Though the director asked me to changes some lines so that it would fit in" I responded to her. I became so close to this teacher since she said she wanted to get closer to her students, and since I am Asanuma-san's kouhai.

One reason why I didn't have confidence on my feelings towards Asanuma-san is because of sensei. They are so close, and she is so beautiful.

It was then I was surprised when Sensei sat next to me, and her face was so close to mine

"U-uhm..."

"You are so close with Shin, and my raging jealousy is at peak. You are beautiful and talented."

"Sensei?"

"Why? Why Shin of all people?"

I gazed away and felt nervous all of a sudden "h-he inspired me and helped me. I was a fan, but it suddenly turned differently" I shyly responded

"Can it be me?" I turned to her with my eyes widened and in disbelief "I was the one who told Shin to go to you that day, and it was the biggest mistake of my life!"

"Uhm..."

"(F/N), I-"

"Hai! Stop there you pervert woman! I told you, hold back on your desires and don't pick up with your students! How many times should I remind you?!" I felt relief when Asanuma-san entered the room, saving me from this farce "don't put (F/N) in such an awkward situation. She suffered enough from that last sensei"

Moriyama-sensei clicked her tongue and sighed as she stood up and looked at me

"She's beautiful and very talented. I cannot-"

"Stop it. Go back to your office!"

I finally breathe when sensei left, followed by Asanuma-san's loud laugh

"Is this funny to you?!" I glared at him

"Of course! From the very beginning I know it. She was so concerned and worried of you from the other building so I just went to see it this person she was interested to, and to think that my fan who think of me differently now"

"...y...you..."

"Yeah I heard from the very beginning. And I actually remember you when you told me your name. But I remained silence, because it is really fun" I could see his smile snickering and as if he was teasing me "anyways, let's go"

I stood up that made him surprised and looked at me "Asanuma-san, thank you very much for everything! You were the first seiyuu that I met, who inspired me and the very reason why I wanted to be a seiyuu! And it turned out into this situation that I have a progress on my dream. And day after day, my feelings changed... and I..."

"I know"

"Eh?"

"I know all of that even what are you trying to say. But don't say it"

I felt disheartened from his response and I couldn't help but gazed away. "I understand..."

"It's in my policy not to let a woman say it first. So wait for me to say it first instead."

"I see... I under-... eh?" I blinked fast once I realized what he said and slowly looked at me, and I my heart beat so fast as he smiled at me, a very gentle smile

"Let's go, (F/N)." He left first and when he called my name again, I returned to reality and realization that Asanuma-san knew about it, but for his own pleasure of seeing my expressions, he won't let me say it and let me wait for him to say it first.

"Asanuma-san, you sure are having fun, huh?"

"Of course. I am in such an interesting situation, I cannot help it but get excited. I am obviously having fun"
