Mrs Sun leaned forward Zhang Yuxi's ear and whispered " I suggest you stay as far away as possible from her. She is well known for creating trouble for others. Why don't you sit in the front?"
Yuxi glanced at Mrs Sun with a broad smile. Mrs Sun also flashed a smile thinking she helped her dodge a bullet, however..Yuxi bowed to the teacher before advancing towards the corner seat
Everyone, including the teacher, was stunned.
"Teacher, I wish to sit beside him, the one at the second last corner. I like window seats, as I feel suffocated easily." Niao's voice rang, breaking the awkwardness in the classroom.
Once again everyone's eyes landed in a certain direction. It was the earlier boy who pushed his friend, Quan Feng.
"With me?" He was amazed by the sudden mention.
The boy sitting beside him objected " How can you say that when I am still sitting next to him-"
The poor guy has pushed away once again.
Quan Feng cleared the desk before saying merrily, happiness clearly beaming on his face " The window seat is all yours."
Since Mrs Sun didn't care much about Niao, she agreed to her seat arrangement.
While Niao walked towards her seat, she peered at Yuxi, her eyes showing pure concern. Noticing her gaze upon her, Yuxi didn't stare back at her, instead peered beside her at the girl, who was sleeping soundly with her arms crossed and head dozing off here and there.
'Don't worry, Niao. I will be okay.'

*Ring*
"Okay, Class. This much for today. Class President, I want everyone's last week's assignment on my desk before the break. Have a good day.," Saying that, Mrs Sun left the class.
"Hey, Can you give me your notes? I haven't finished my assignment yet."
"Bold of you to assume I have even touched the notebooks. I don't even know what the assignment was."
"Oh, Dear Class President Kim Zihan, Can you please inform the teacher that I did the assignment with all my whole heart but forgot to bring it. Please?"
"Lol, As if the teacher will go with your lame excuses. Don't you remember me who used the same excuse and eventually got the punishment to rewrite it 5 times? Now, I will rather submit it incomplete than rewrite it again many times."
"Is there no one who really completed it? Can you donate your notes to this dying classmate here?"
Such chatter could be heard across the classroom as soon as the teacher left. While some encircled Zhang Yuxi with excited smiles.
"Zhang Yuxi or Liz, What should I call you?" A boy inquired.
"Anything is fine." She replied.
"Liz, Can I get your autograph? I am your fan. I have seen all the dramas you have played. You were awesome. " Another boy spoke, passing a note and pen.
"Really? But I have only played in movies, not any dramas yet. I wonder whom you saw in those dramas?" answered Yuxi, tilting her head in curiosity.
Ashamed, the boy couldn't help but return to his seat.
"Haha, that serves him right. Ignore him. Liz, Since you are our classmate, We are friends, right?" This time, A girl wearing thick makeup and curly hair asked with a huge grin.
Niao, who was watching silently to the commotion, scowled at the girl who was getting intimate with Yuxi.
"*Chuckle* Yeah, I guess you can say so." voiced Yuxi amusingly.
"For Real? I can already feel that we are becoming best friends. Wow. Let's take a selfie first to remember our first-day friendship. Smile.." The girl took out her phone to take a selfie with Yuxi when Niao stood up and grabbed her phone.
"What do you think you are doing?" The girl cried out, by the sudden interference.
"Don't take selfies or pictures with her while she is in school. Also, If you are found taking pictures of her secretly without her consent or posting any, you will be charged accordingly. So, stop pestering her into doing stuff against the rules." Niao stated loudly enough for everyone in the class to hear.
The girl was stunned for a moment before regaining her arrogant composure "*Scoff* Liz herself didn't even refuse. Who are you to say that? Her Number one fan? Her manager?"
Yuxi silently sat there, staring at Niao, curious how she would handle the matter.
"My identity is not necessary here. Did you ask her first whether it is okay to take a selfie with her? Either way, you can't take pictures with her. Take your phone back." Niao voiced, giving back the phone.
The girl aggressively snatched her phone before dashing away. The remaining students also lost interest and returned to their seats. Niao glanced at Yuxi to see her reaction. Yuxi slightly nodded her head, making her sigh in relief.
"So Noisy." An annoyed voice aroused beside Yuxi. Looking at the girl, Yuxi noticed she was talking in her sleep.
"Good Morning, Class."
At the arrival of the teacher, Niao was about to head back to her seat when she found someone staring intently at her.
"Is there something in my face?" asked Niao.
Quan Feng nodded his head. He softly replied " Beauty."
"Hmm?" Niao raised a brow.
"I mean, You were cool. I like you- I mean I like it." He hastily spoke, no longer maintaining eye contact.
Niao shrugged her shoulders, before sitting down.

Tiffin Break:
Zhang Yuxi's Private Room:
"Master, I have isolated the room. We can converse freely now." Niao uttered.
Yuxi just nodded her head without speaking while laying on the spacious sofa.
"Master, Are you hungry? Should I bring you something?"
"No, I am good."
There was stillness in the room, but none of the two was feeling awkward instead...
"Niao, If you have something to say, speak your mind. Stop fidgeting your fingers."
"Master, I am sorry. I have this uneasy feeling. You know what I am talking about. The black auras. "
"Continue."
"I know every human has a black aura in them since no one in the world is pure. The students here are no exception at all. I noted in our classroom alone there are ten students whose bodies are surrounded by a beyond average black aura meaning they must've committed deliberate immoral acts." expressed Niao.
She continued with a pensive tone " And, the strongest one who has ten folds of average black aura which means the person has sinned taking the life of another one is the.."
"..The girl whom you decided to sit with. Xu Rei. You told me not to worry, but why are doing the things that might harm you?"
