Alfred walked towards his class, he was stopped midway by a student.
"Alfred" the voice called softly. Alfred stopped and turned towsards the direction of the voice. He saw a girl walking towards him. She giggles shyly. "Ummm, am lily. Miss Roche asked me to inform you that the new members are waiting in the conference hall"
"That's great. Thanks Lilly" Alfred replied excitedly. Lilly smiles shyly. Alex changed his direction. He was happy not because the punishment was interesting but because he gets to complete the most boring punishment first. Normally he would wait for a month or more before new students arrive. That meant extending his punishment period.
"She asked you to behave". Lilly added.
"I will" he left.

*In the conference hall*
"Hello everyone, am Alfred. I will be your tour guide and I will give you a boring yet interesting history of this noble Academy. Not by choice though, I'm serving my punishment" some giggled.
"Behave Alfred" a voice rang in his head. There weren't much students there. 5 girls and 7 boys.
"Follow me"
"Who is he trying to impress?" A guy asked the girl beside him looking displeased. Alfred heard him but choose to ignore him.
"He's not looking bad. He's in great shape". The girl replied. He scoffs
"Show off"
"Like I said before this is the worse job but I still have to do it. Loitering, skipping classes, and bullying are highly prohibited and punishable by miss Roche." He halted in front of the section. "This is called sectioned building. There are six sections in total. Each section has an A,B and C. Section 1&2 are begginers class. Section 3 intermediate, 4 advanced, 5 skilled, 6 is the pro class. They are used for discussion and gym classes. The building we came from was the conference hall"
He showed them the karate palace, the dorms, the church, the fields, garden, cafeteria, meseum, pool house, indoor games building and every corner of the academy. He explained that 'Roche Academy's was not a school but a skill acquisition centre, Where you learn skills like karate and gymnastic skills. And the side skills included a few sewing, knitting and cooking. He explained the meaning of the giant statue in the middle of the compound. The statue was a house on a rock still under construction.
" A house buillt on a rock stands firm and when people work together they achieve a lot" Alfred looked at them "that's the end of the tour, you can go to that hall over there for a skill test. A class will be assigned to you after that. It was nice being your tour guide. I'm Alfred in section 6a. See you around. Bye"
"Thank you". Some replied. Alfred left hurriedly and a guy ran after him
"Excuse me" he halted and looked at the guy. He looked 17. It was the guy that thought he wanted to impress girls "I'm sorry for misjudging you. You're the one my brother talked about"
Alfred "-- -----"
"I thought you were showing off earlier... All I'm saying is that you were the one my brother talked about. D Alfred. The way he described you, one can easily pass you off as a legend". He sighs "where are my manners. Am Luka Whyte, Ethan's younger brother". He extended his right hand for a handshake. Recognition dawned on Alfred, he did look like Ethan. The same body stature, height and same eye colour.
"Nice meeting you Luka" he took his hand "Ethan did mention you'd be joining us but I wasn't expecting you until.... I don't know. Just not yet" Luka laughed.
"It's the holidays, so why don't I start now"
"You have a point" the alarm goes off and students start walking out of the section. "Well Luka, I have to serve my punishment now"
"I thought that was a joke"
"Nope."
"can I help you?". Luka asked.
"Thanks but, no thanks. You wouldn't want to get on Roche's bad side on your first day." Alfred replied.
"if you say so." He smiled.
"Alright Luka, see you around."
"you too. bye"
"Bye". Alfred replied and left for the janitor's closet to get a bucket, mob, detergents and disinfectants. He went into the section pressed a button and the section divides that looked like walls were lifted. He looked around the hall and sighed. "It's gonna be a long week". The chairs has been properly arranged at a corner, he guessed his friends must have heard about his punishment and helped out. He began dusting. When it was time to start cleaning he became bored and decided to do a lazy job. He turned on some music and spilled water all over the floor. He began to slide from one end to another. He soon began to sweat so he removed his shirt. He heard excited chatter and giggles from outside the window. He turned to find some girls gawking at him. He smiled at them. One of them winked at him before they left. He continued his lazy work.
