[6 days, 8 hours, 32 minutes, 57 seconds left before the arrival of Dimensional Gate.]
While Keith McDowell was gazing at the scenery outside his classroom window, he opened the system timer that indicated the descent of the Dimensional Gate.
'Only a week more to go. It has been a week since the red-haired girl transferred to my class.'
'I'm still frustrated that my Eyes of Heaven can't see through her existence. I never felt this defeated in my life.'
When those thoughts entered Keith's mind, their class adviser entered the classroom with the attendance book in hand.
-Thud!
Slamming the attendance book on his desk, their class adviser lazily looked at them with disinterest.
But after remembering that he was paid for this job even if he was underpaid, their class adviser had a look on his face that meant "just deal with it". Of course, he was referring to himself.
"Quiet down. I don't know why but we are having another transfer student."
"It might be because of Class B's incident that our Mint High became popular. Or Raymond Beach died and brought publicity to our school. Either way, the death of those losers became useful so let's praise them that they didn't die worthlessly."
"But I digress. Nevertheless, I don't need to remind you all what to do with the transfer student since all of you are big boys and girls."
After informing them about a new student that would transfer to their school today, their class adviser sat on his chair and opened the attendance book.
But contrary to one's expectation, he didn't ask for his students' attendance. He had better things to do than ask his student whether they existed or not.
Not to mention, he had already checked all of his students' attendance even if they were absent.
With that in mind, their adviser ignored them while he was reading a manga with some buff men and menacing texts in the background.
But before their adviser could finish reading the good part where a pink-haired cherry lover was punched by a time-stopping vampire, one of his students interrupted him from continuing his manga reading.
"Teach, I have a question!"
"What?"
Since he was still their adviser, he decided to respond to his student's question even though he was annoyed and close to slamming the manga on that student's face.
"Could you tell us more about the transfer student?"
"What would I get in return?"
The student with a buzz cut who asked that question paused for a while when he listened to his adviser's question.
But after noticing the manga that his adviser was reading, the buzz-cut student knew what his bargaining chips would be.
"I have all volumes of Joemoon's Bizzare Adventure. I will give all of it to you as long as you tell me more about the transfer stud-"
"Deal!"
Before the buzz-cut student could complete his sentence, he was interrupted by his teacher who immediately became enthusiastic.
"The transfer student is a girl. And before you ask, yes, she is beautiful. As for how beautiful, then if I were to compare her with Amelia, the transfer student is slightly more beautiful than Amelia."
"But I will suggest you to not court her. Courting her is like courting death."
"I don't know why, but I felt that she is dangerous. And after I did a background check, I found out that a murder case was slightly linked to her. But since the evidence wasn't solid enough, she wasn't jailed for murder."
"I felt like she is a serial killer. But I don't know man, I'm a teacher, not a detective."
"Then again, it doesn't matter even if she is a serial killer. After all, it's not like we don't have a serial killer in our school."
After shrugging as if it wasn't a big deal, their adviser continued reading his manga since he had already done his end of the bargain.
Hearing their adviser's words, they weren't surprised since one of their upperclassmen was indeed a serial killer. As for why he wasn't jailed, it was because of his powerful background.
But when they listened to their adviser's warning, they heeded it. They weren't death seekers who would waste their life just to touch a thorny rose, even if it was beautiful.
Just as usual, they waited for the arrival of the transfer student while their adviser was reading his favorite manga.
They didn't wait for long. After several minutes had passed, the door opened, revealing a girl with long flowing bubblegum pink hair reaching up to her waist.
Contrary to their expectations, the pink-haired girl possessed a sunny and soothing temperament around her. Her jade green eyes glistened with kindness as she gazed at them.
Without needing their adviser's instructions, the pink-haired girl started her simple yet attractive introduction.
"Hello! My name is Sherry Blossom! Nice to meet you all!"
