"What should we do? I thought it was about the rules in the handbook."
"Me too."
"If I had known this was going to happen, I would have listened carefully."
"I have no problem. I know most of the girls' names in this room."
"Are you for real?"
"Pervert."
A lot of complaints came in all at once, and they also thought the same thing as me: that the quiz was about the rules in the handbook.
"Now, now, listen to me, everyone; you have about twenty minutes left. If I were you, I would have stopped complaining and started writing. I believe you have received your schedule, so better hurry and not make your next teacher mad."
Scribble, scribble.
Then we move our pencil quickly and within the allotted time. I cheated by using mind acceleration only a little since I didn't want to get my mind fried.
After twenty minutes had passed, Prof. Jane took all our papers.
"""Wha-?"""
"I was not done yet."
"Prof. Jane, give us some extra time, please."
"Yes, Prof. Jane."
"No!"
"Why?"
"Please, Prof. Jane."
"Like I said, no. Now that I have finished collecting all your papers, you can all go now. And don't be late."
Prof. Jane stated so as she walked out of the room before us.
And as everybody was stunned by what happened, the bell rang.
Tiriring! tiriring!
"Oh no!"
"We're gonna be late."
"Let's go."
I was already prepared as I got out of the room and followed the direction of the map.
Although they seem to be overreacting, it is quite crucial to arrive on time for class. Because a punishment will insure those who are tardy.
But they have given us some incentive: as long as we arrive at the place within 10 minutes, we are safe. If we arrived at anything above that, then we were screwed.
~~~~~~~~
We have been walking throughout the day, moving from one subject to another. From the looks of it, each class has at least 2 hours of class. And we will take a different one or the same one each day.
But for now, the purpose of this day is to get to know our teachers and get familiar with our classmates. So today we will have one hour of orientation for each class.
But as expected, many really liked the topic of magic and mana usage. That's understandable, though, since it will give them a great chance for the future.
And then at lunchtime, I was able to learn the reason for the unusual stares and comments from my classmates.
~~~~~~~~
Lunchbreak is the favorite subject of all students. Here, like in my previous life, we had to stand in line to get food.
As we got in line, people kept bumping into me. It is very obvious that they are doing it on purpose, though.
And because of their actions, I have to make sure not to hurt them as they bump into me. And it was about to be my turn to eat food as expected, someone would bump into me.
"Woah."
He acted to fall down on me. And seeing this, I also answered in return.
As he got closer, I acted surprised, and time placed my food tray in a way that it would be toppled.
"Hey!"
As that happened, the food dropped to him, and he was covered with all of it.
"How could he?"
"That bastard."
"He's so shameless."
A lot of them commented. Somehow I felt those comments were not directed at the guy who was trying to bump me.
Instead, they felt bad for the culprit and somehow directed their words to me; at least, that's how I felt as they said those words.
As this went on, I got confused and didn't do anything but stand there. Until a teacher came.
"What happened here?"
"Sir, He bumped into him and threw his food down to him."
"Yeah sir."
"That's right."
"It's him."
They pointed their fingers at me and looked at me in a negative way. Making me the bad guy; seeing this, the teacher is clearly annoyed at me.
"You come to the teacher's office with me. And anyone, can you guys bring this kid to the nurse's office?"
"There's no need to do that." Another teacher came and stopped the other teacher.
"What? Oh it's you. Help me here as we discipline that kid."
As he said, all of the students were clearly smirking at me.
Why? What did I do? More like, what happened at the time during the entrance ceremony?
"Like I said, there's no need for that. Everyone go back to eating, time is almost up."
"YOU! What's wrong with you? A student is being harassed here."
He roared as he pulled on his collar.
"Hmph You need to use your mind more. I will tell the principal myself about what happened."
He scoffed as he pushed the other guy away.
"I didn't know you liked to favor bullying."
"Things are not always as they seem. You need to look around every corner before making a conclusion."
He turned his back and said some final words before he left.
"By the way, you have the clear quantifier right; use it on the fallen fellow there; he might have had a very painful experience falling down."
Hearing that the other teacher had his eye grow big, he hurriedly used the clear quantifier.
And yes, this is the combined effort of Prof. Phillips and Dr. Laberte. Just a combination of words between two devices.
"Huh? Tch, go get change before I smack you."
"Yes sir!"
Hearing that the guy hurriedly left. As he left, the teacher then looked at me and said.
"You got lucky, you little pervert. But there won't be a next time after sexually harassing the merchant king's daughter."
Hearing that, I was confused, but since the time was about to end, I hurriedly got a second serving that I had to pay for.
As I finished eating, I thought again about what the teacher said.
When did I sexually harass someone, and how did it happen?
As I took a trip down memory lane, I walked out of the canteen, and then it hit me.
I felt something soft when I tried to push someone. So she was a girl, and I touched her chest, not to mention that she was a very influential girl.
This looks bad. She is very influential here at school. I need to find a way to apologize to her.
I kept on worrying about what to do as I arrived at the next class.
~~~~~~~
Before I knew it, it was the last class, and it was one of everyone's favorite activities, "PE" or, here, should I say, combat class.
And here we have our combat instructor.
"My name is Feria Hil Gale, just call me Ms. Ria. It's nice to meet you all."
"""It's nice to meet you too, Ms. Ria."""
"Oh, the mercenary princess!"
"She is so beautiful, even with those scars."
"She looks even more manly than any boy."
"Ahh I wanna be like her someday."
"Damn, she's hot."
"You're so right, dude; she is burning."
"More like you're burning with desire."
"Shut up, didn't you get dumped by the ice princess with a silent walk away?"
"She's just being shy."
"Pfft, are you for real?"
A commotion happened in the girls' and boys' groups, respectively. I guess she is very famous, huh?
"Alright, then, to kick off this meeting, let's start with a jog. We will introduce ourselves as we go."
As if that was the que, she started running, and we followed her as well.
Right now we are donning leather armor, and at our waists are our weapons.
As for me, during the time I was changing, I thought of using a wand, but then I thought, why not both?
So now I have two weapons on both sides of my waist. To be fair, I wasn't the only one doing it.
As this happened, we were done with the introduction and were just talking about the training plan we were about to take.
Then, out of nowhere, a new teacher appeared beside Ms. Ria.
"What a surprise to see you here, Ms. Gale."
"It's not that surprising. Even though the Colosseum is big, it's not that big. So we will see each other more often alongside the others, Mr. Vandel."
"I guess so."
As explained by their conversation, we are at a huge coliseum right now, and we can see other teachers and students as we run around.
But this is the first time I saw a teacher without a student. Does he even have one?
When I looked at the others, they too were confused. I guess I wasn't the only one with the same concern. He might be here to flirt with our teacher.
And as if to answer our concern, A shout came from the back.
"Mr. Tim, don't leave us!"
There I saw one student, and surprisingly, it was the Berserker Knight and my roommate, Richard.
And behind him, other students followed, and they all seemed to be very tired, but still running with all their might. Why?
