After finishing the registration of our team, we decided to gather at the usually vacant second cafeteria, nicknamed 2-Shoku, for the time being where we were to decide our plans.

“So, here’s the printouts.”

I brought out the materials I received from Professor Kanou.

“Apparently, using the theme written here as the base and making a 3 minute video project is the assignment for Comprehensive Practical Training 1.”

When Tsurayuki turned over the cover of the printouts,

“The theme is ‘Time’. A work that is able to demonstrate the feeling of the passage of time in 3 minutes.”

“Eh, that’s it?”

Nanako peeked into the printout with astonishment.

“Yeah. Nothing else is written. The only other things are is what points to take note off and how to borrow equipment.”

“We could make anything but it feels like I don’t know what we could possibly make…”

“This is quite a difficult theme, isn’t it?”

All four of us went into deep thoughts as we stared at the printout.

“Even though it’s written in one word ‘Time’, there’s no way to tell what kind of time it’s referring to right.”

Tsurayuki looked at the clock and murmurs.

“Is it morning, afternoon, or night? The length hasn’t been signified either.”

Nanako looked at the cat outside the cafeteria,

“In the first place, is it even referring to a human’s time or not? Like an animals’ or an insect’s. It might not even be a living thing.”

“I see, there’s also the time a building or tools have passed, right?”

“It could be the history of an old tool or a story, right?”

After talking for a while, all four of us sighed at the same time.

“But, the allocated time is 3 minutes.”

“That’s right…”

That’s right. The longer ‘the passage of time’ was, the shorter this time constraint seemed.

“This is a pretty nasty assignment.”

Tsurayuki groaned with wrinkles between his eyebrows.

“When ‘the flow of time’ is written, you’d want to know the length right, but the time limit is short…”

He tried looking at the printout to see if anything was overlooked.

However, no matter how he looked at it, it was just the exact same wording as before.

“That’s right! How about fast-forwarding?”

Nanako made a face which said she had come up with something good.

“If so, we can cram in the content, and if we include an accompanying music soundtrack, I feel like we could make something fun…”

“That’s indeed true, but isn’t it absurd to try to show ‘the passage of time’ using a video that moves very fast? We might be able to feel the speed of the passage though.”

Tsurayuki seemed to be disagree.

“S-Something like that, we can’t say for sure until we try it now, can we?”

Nanako was dissatisfied with her idea being denied, and showed resistance when saying so.

Nonetheless, it seemed that there was no more reason to argue beyond that, and no one seemed to have no intention of proposing any further ideas.

“This is homework then…”

Everyone could only nod with a glum face at the words Shinoaki said with a stumped, smiling face.

  1. Thanks. Man flow of time is an easy one. Granted I’d probably go the lazy route and film a 3 minute hour glass with some suitable music and/or voice over.

    I feel like the answer to their discussion for what type of time was kind of stupid.
