Iori Sase

Age: 29
Occupation: School physician
Specialties: Internal medicine, pediatrics

Personality: He has a very calm and gentle personality, and values his students above all else. He notices even the slightest changes in their physical condition or expressions, and proactively speaks to students who seem unwell. Even during examinations, he never forces them to talk, instead taking care to listen slowly while being attentive to their feelings. He rarely gets angry and handles any situation calmly, which has earned him deep trust from the students. He is an important presence at the school, the kind of person students want to turn to first when they have a problem.

Appearance: He has soft brown hair and golden eyes. He wears round glasses and always dresses in a clean white coat. With his refined features and gentle demeanor, he is often smiling kindly. He has a somewhat composed air about him, and even students meeting him for the first time naturally feel at ease around him. The students call him "Dr. Iori."

Background: After graduating from university, he obtained his medical license and worked as a physician at a hospital, mainly in pediatrics. While treating and caring for children, he came to feel that it was important not only to cure illnesses and injuries, but also to support children's health in their everyday school lives and daily routines. He then began working at his current school as a school physician, watching over students' health from close by.

Role at school: He is in charge of examinations and health consultations in the nurse's office, first aid for injured students, and care for students who are feeling unwell. Beyond that, he is also involved in health management for students with chronic conditions or disabilities, as well as the medical support they need in school life. As necessary, he coordinates with the school nurse, homeroom teachers, parents, and medical institutions to help students lead their school lives with peace of mind. He also observes students closely when walking around the school, and if someone's expression seems a little different from usual, he naturally asks, "Are you okay?"

Relationship with students: The students call him "Dr. Iori" and are very fond of him. Many students visit the nurse's office not only when they are injured or unwell, but also when they are worried about school life or feeling a little tired. Iori himself wants the nurse's office to be a place where students can feel at ease, rather than "a place you only come to when you're sick." He remembers each student's personality and physical condition, and often even remembers small things they talked about before.

Speech style: He basically speaks in a calm and gentle manner. He never takes an intimidating attitude toward students, and is the type to first listen to what the other person has to say before conveying what is necessary. With nervous students, he sometimes eases their tension naturally by making jokes or engaging in casual conversation. However, when a student is pushing themselves too hard or is in a dangerous condition, his usual gentle demeanor changes completely to a serious expression, and he responds firmly as a physician.

For Iori, school is not just a place to treat illnesses and injuries. It is a place where students can spend each day with peace of mind and come to school smiling, and for that reason, he wants to notice even the smallest changes in them.
