I found myself in the classroom with a slightly feeling of gloominess. A guy who just kicked me earlier paid heed on his attention onto me while I pretended not to notice. The class's atmosphere remains the same as earlier. It's not surprising cause everyone is experiencing their first day here.
The wall in my several classmates can be easily seen through my eyes. A barrier that won't allow us to communicate and associate with them either.
"I am Fred Dereck, Nice to meet ya!"
"... uhhh yeah, nice to meet you"
Fred Dereck, a muscle man who sits beside me, as I explained, he was the guy who got his screws went loose for a moment. Perhaps his stupidity made him exist in this place like I do.
He seems like a friendly gorilla to me but it doesn't mean that he would be a person to be rely on.
A middle-aged man showed up with a serious entrance show. Like an emotionless wrestler who just appeared goes up in the ring.
"Get on your seats everyone"
A few people have taken in their proper seat, others are sitting improperly and the rest acted like the teacher wasn't around, words won't get through their ears.
"I don't want to repeat this but, get on your seats."
A haughty gal who was standing in the corner sensed something on the teacher's serious eyes that were glaring at them. Although, our teacher was wearing a pair of glasses, the reflection of the gal's image was displayed in the lens, she sat on a nearby unoccupied seat.
And then there's another problem.
A young delinquent guy who rushed out towards the teacher attempting to grab his collar.
"don't you dare order me. You've got some nerve to do that in front of me."
"that's because i'm your teacher, aren't you supposed to behave like an ordinary student"
That guy is low tempered and his mood right now seems annoyed. He threw his palm to grab his collar and threaten him or something.
Oi, oi seriously. This guy's pride is crossing the line here.
The girls here are little bit scared; it can be easily read just by noticing their body languages. I'm a bit scared too but not about that delinquent guy, what I'm scared is what would happen next.
Other guys ignored the situation and they just sat and wait for the time to pass by but their eyes have an intention to do something about this. Perhaps they observe again at times like this.
"Umm, please stop it, Jake. You won't gain anything for causing a ruckus here. So why wouldn't you just listen to our teacher."
"haah what did you say??? Say another word again, i'll kill you after the class!!"
"i'm sorry!!!"
A chubby nerd shrank down when he tried to suppress a mad person with words and now, he is frightened to a man who was about to resort a violent act.
It wasn't the Fred guy who just attacked me out nowhere but rather someone who is like him. No, a little different. If I compare my seatmate to that annoyed guy, Fred much more muscular than him.
Some punks know how to look brave in the fight and later they whimper like an injured dog. But now, the scenery in front was about to justify of what I have said.
A middle-aged man who is around 30s remained calm and his face is so close to that delinquent. He still remained composed as his own student made a scene inside a classroom.
"Hey you, old fart why doesn't you just shut the fck up and don't give a damn. It's still a first day. Just dismiss it for today."
"I'm afraid I won't do that cause it's my job to teach you. Now then, would you please return to your seats, I don't like this to cross the line"
"tdddk!!!!"
The teacher was pushed and was got hit in the face, resulting his pair of glasses to fall on the floor. Students inside the classroom have their mouths half opened in surprise of having that guy finally did it.
As he was maintaining his balance after he got pushed, a kick was outgoing towards our mentor. And it hits his right abdomen making himself bend his stomach to feel that pain.
Besides, it was only one person who wanted to stop this fight and intervened the issue.
"Now, now, calm down, it's our first day of class and we didn't think it starts with a heated issue."
A calm guy who looked like a gentle person who is suitable for leading this class and it seems like he wanted handle things in this class peacefully. Just think of him as a person who seeks cooperation like that red head.
"Ughhh"
"Shut up, why don't you just have your ass on your fucking seat. If you want it to be doing things alright"
That guy punched the calm person in the stomach, a painful part that shouldn't been hit. Damn, I feel bad for him being involved with it.
Well, he tried to block it but the fist was surprisingly fast but not for my eyes.
He didn't fight back in order to avoid the problem to escalate. Instead, he kept his patience on the mean time.
"Are you, Jake Froutart? Am I right?"
"Yeah, so what"
"I hope we get along this year and I hope you'd become a fine student."
"douuuuuggggg!!!!!!!"
Our teacher just picked his glasses that was recently fell on the floor and he immediately did a clean roundhouse kick towards 'him' it was a sudden surprise attack that is likely hard to be dodged and to be predicted. I didn't see that coming but that kick is enough for me to get impressed.
That kick was so strong enough to put down a target. Not to mention it landed on the left chest.
"It would be better if you listened to me earlier and behave like an average student."
He gently smiled at his fallen student and left his word. For sure, he lost his patience but he intended to hold back at the moment he tried to execute his move.
That gentle classmate went back into his seat with a slightly relieved feeling, the same as the classmates who felt a bit scared.
Our teacher fixed his uniform and said something to us, not leaving a single glance at the misbehaved student. Well, he wasn't unconscious, he was just groaning in pain and managed to back to his respected seat.
It was kinda funny that I think of him as a country who just hid their fangs after their city got bombed by a hostile country. That was embarrassing for me though, I'd better be careful.
"I apologize for showing such an unfortunate scene and we should forget about it. Now then, let's proceed."
"*clears throat"
"Let's start with introduction, we wasted a bit of time so I need it to be fast paced and please give everyone a brief Introduction."
"Starting today I would be your homeroom teacher, pardon my late introduction. I am Christopher Borris. Just address me as 'Sir.Chris' so, everyone please be polite and it would be a pleasure to teach you, my students."
Introduction huh, it was kinda bummer for me. I haven't gone to school for several years and the last time I personally introduced myself is when I was around in elementary school.
All I do back then is to do home schooling.
Now, for a gamer like me who uses electronic devices and socialize or communicate with anyone in internet should be anxious in introducing yourself in front of your classmates. In Diskord or any messaging apps, introduction isn't necessary, the chat heads have its username so, all you need to say 'greetings, hi, or something.
"I am Henry Kolfs, I'm from Australia. I was delighted to be your classmate; I don't have anything special in particular so I hope we get along"
And then one by one introduction from the side to side. Until the last row. I consider myself lucky for being at the last but feel embarrassing at the same time. If I were at the last, everyone's senses would be at me of course, which is i'm not comfortable with it.
I'm such a pathetic gamer who deserved to be rejected from the society. Gladly I rejected society first.
"Aria Kanae, I don't have anything i'm good at but I will spend my year with you all. It's a pleasure to study with you"
The same phrase as the previous student huh. I guess it's considerate but I think they were just lying, 'they don't have anything they're good at' is very transparent that I can see through it, clearly.
I believe this academy chooses people with unique skills and capabilities to become an official student. Not just that but they also focus on their characteristics, something that is worth having here.
It's kind of funny that I made a long sentence in such an obvious part.
"Glenn Rosswalt, I officially became a student for a certain reason and with me being here, I wanted to graduate and become successful in life.
I'm not superior enough to do that but I guess I can rely on you guys and I was looking forward onto this year, everyone!"
Glenn Rosswalt. I think I heard that name somewhere. My memories are vague enough to cannot remember but I have a feeling that I have heard this name and it is sounds familiar.
Whatever, my headache would likely to deter if I think more about it.
If I were to decode his message delivered, he seems like he wanted to rely on us for his self-interest. Although, everyone has their own self-interest so it's nothing weird.
And so, one after one, the introduction has reached onto me. Now that it's my turn to introduce myself. Some of the scary looking classmates intended to not introduce themselves but our teachers' eyes are staring seriously towards us. Their might as a bad guys gave up and introduced themselves but it's a lousy one.
The teacher didn't really mind about it and just said 'next' after that. Well, they've witnessed of how scary our teacher is with that incident earlier and that delinquent tends to be quiet and obeyed the teacher's words as an aftermath but still his irritated expression remains on his eyes, feel bad for him.
Should I just introduce myself with a stiff and lousy tone. I'm already gloomy looking in terms of outside appearance and my ability to associate with someone is below average (of course not anxiety, rather not having someone I can relate into).
Never mind. I'll just tell them my name and that would work.
I stood up from my chair and quickly opened my mouth without hesitation.
"I'm Dash, my actual name is not really worth remembering so please don't mind about it."
I just introduced myself using my nickname and other didn't mind and so is Sir. Chris. For sure, Sir knows my actual name so I won't bother saying it.
Then, my introduction gradually finished. But their attentions are scary though, it made me feel like I wanted jump right the window beside me.
I exchanged glances with that short haired cutie again and she was looking at me with a cute innocent looking face. My head feels light about it but don't worry, I don't have any interest within her.
Averted my eyes for a moment and I heard someone laughing at me.
"guahaahahh, what a beautiful name. You must've savored your name from me and told us your name when it's really necessary.
You're kind of cold guy but a boring person.
Mr. Dash, I was just testing for earlier and don't be scared about it. I don't tend to hurt shrimps"
He gave me a thumbs up with his dazzling smile showing up. He insulted me but in a different way, not really an insult but a mere fact. At that time, he just kicked me out of the blue, he looked scary enough for a weak man like me and what's good is that he didn't have any hostile expressions written within his face.
The teacher didn't mind me introducing my nickname and there were no violations after all. Just letting them know what to addresses me or call me is more than enough.
In case if I don't remember their names, I can just check theirs in my smartphone. My name "Dash" in my ID is already published so my full name wasn't be shown in an app or in a ranking table. So, it wouldn't be surprising if some of the students here will try to check or investigate me.
It's like I'm anonymous though, it just that it gives me the same feeling.
The teacher took out something from a hand bag and passed it onto the students close to him. Huge pile of papers was divided into 5 which means to be distributed to the students within 5 rows.
"Get one and pass"
Students from the front row began to took their sheet of test paper and passed it on the back silently.
The person beside me just got his test paper while I haven't received it yet. I bothered leaning on the front and found a clumsy guy who scatted the papers attempted to fix it. He was sitting in the 3rd seat of my row and he delayed the time for a few seconds.
And lastly, I received it in a seconds later.
At the first glance, it seems very hard but the moment i analyzed the test before it started, the test is too impossible for me to answer it correctly.
With all of us have our hands on the sheet, the teacher left us a word before commencing a start.
"This exam isn't the same as the previous exam you've just taken before. However, this test is in purpose to serialize your knowledge.
There are no risks taken so rest assured but it would be better to give it off a good shot to that it can give a huge impact on your statuses. I'm forcing you to do better, I'm just telling you as an advice.
Good luck then"
And with that, the first test in my school life had just begun.
