Their new homeroom teacher, Anggita Melasari, invited the students in her class to introduce themselves.
The class now consisted of only 20 people, whereas before there were 35. Introductions started from those sitting near the exit.
"Give me your full names, in order from my left," Anggita said.
"Introducing, my name is Vina Aryanti, born in Kaendah. I'm in the painting club."
"Introducing, my name is Shinta Rinama, born in Kaendah. I'm a member of the music club."
"Introducing, my name is Johan Sena, born in Kaendah. I'm in the soccer club."
"Introducing, my name is Renal, born in Alans. I'm in the soccer club."
"Introducing, my name is Almira Sada, born in Barya. I'm in the theater club."
"Introducing, my name is Laras Leskar Mentari, born in Kaendah. I'm in the helper club."

"My name is Steven Levante, born in Grandbir, from the helper & game club."
"Introducing, my name is Radit Akarim, born in Kaendah, from the club of helpers."
"Yaho... Introducing, my name is Amelia Zaskia, born in Alans. I'm in the auxiliary and theater club."
"Introducing, my name is Hana Shinohara, born in Taila. I'm from the helper club."
"My name is Raka Hamirad, born in Kaendah, from the club of helpers."
"Introducing, my name is Leonardo Amarta, born in Kaendah. I'm in the club of helpers."
"Introducing, my name is Fina Alfiani, born in Alans. I'm in the theater club."

"Introducing, my name is Elena Leina, born in Bely. I'm in the archery club."
"Lastly, let me introduce, my name is Aurora Nilma. I'm in the girls' basketball club."
And all of them, the students in the class, have introduced themselves.
"Wow, look at our class now, there are a lot of girls. Even our two school idols are still there," said Raka, looking around.
"Shut up, and your language is too harsh," Leonardo said.
"Ok, you've all introduced yourselves well. So, now it's time to learn," Anggita said.
"Eh...!" said all the students in the class, expressing their disappointment that they had just entered school and started studying.
"Hahaha... just kidding, really. Today there is no study agenda, but at 8 o'clock you will all go to the field," Anggita said.
"What's going on, sis, at 8 o'clock?" said Shinta.
"Please don't use the nickname 'Ibu' for me, but just use 'Kak' because I'm not married. Remember, students," Anggita said, intimidating the class. Everyone just nodded yes.
"It's good that you understand. So later you will hear the opening words from the principal and the inauguration of the new name and also the new system of this school," Anggita said.
"Wow, I hope the lecture will be short," said Steven. Other students also showed their laziness as they were about to listen to a long lecture.
"Relax, this will be a fun announcement," Anggita said.
"Then, I'm going out. In half an hour, you'll all go to the field. I'm going to the office first," Anggita said, then left and closed the classroom door.
The classroom was quiet for a moment.
"The jolly homeroom teacher," Leonardo said, breaking the silence.
"Then we're free to do whatever we want!" said Raka and the class started to get noisy again with chatter.
They were busy chatting with each other. Before we knew it, it was 8am.
"Steven, come on, it's already 8. Let's go to the field," Radit said.
"Oh, it's already 8 o'clock. Come on, bye," Steven said.
They both got up and headed for the exit, but were called by Raka.
"Dit, where are you going?" asked Raka.
"It's 8 o'clock, time to go to the field," Radit replied. Hearing that, Raka looked at his smartphone and it was indeed 8 o'clock.
"Oh, that's right, it's 8. Then I'm coming," said Raka and Leonardo also stood up.
"Han, Nal, let's go to the field together," Leonardo invited.
"Yes, let's go. Han, let's go," Renal said, standing up and Johan also stood up.
Seeing the boys leaving the class to the field, the girls also came out to the field.
The hallways leading to the field were filled with students and they arrived at the field. They were told to line up in order by class by the teachers.
When all the students were lined up, they saw the new principal walking towards the stage.
All the students saw the appearance of a person with charisma, an upright posture, fierce, and like a knowledgeable person.
He walked up to the microphone that had been provided and stood before the students.
He looked at all the students standing on the field facing him. He saw that the students were giving him an intimidating look, as that look made the students quite tense.
But the students' expectations had been mistaken with him.
After seeing the students, he suddenly walked and got off the stage, but he was immediately dragged by one of the female teachers to get on stage again.
After a while of standing on the stage again, she came back down, but was pulled up again by the female teacher, but now assisted by two male teachers.
On the stage came the sound of conversation, clearly heard by the students as it was close to the microphone that was already on.
"Hey, don't try to get off the stage again," said a female teacher.
"Mr. Head, please don't be embarrassed," said male teacher 1.
"Sir, don't run, just say what we said earlier," said male teacher 2.
"Hm...? Did you say something earlier?" said the principal.
"Why don't you listen to me, I was talking," said male teacher 2.
"I knew it would be like this, here is the text. Just read this," said the female teacher who handed over the speech text to the principal.
"Oh... hm... ok," said the principal.
"Ok, then read this quickly," said male teacher 1.
The three teachers left the stage and the principal was left standing.
Hearing the conversation made the students doubt the greatness of the principal. After a few moments of silence, the principal began his speech.
"Ha-halo, students," said the principal.
Hearing the lethargic voice and reluctance to speak made the students even more convinced that she was not special.
"Introductions, my name is Leopold Rashid. I am the new principal for this school. Hm... in this speech, I would like to welcome you back. Perhaps some of the students have noticed that the school signboard in front of our school door has changed its name. In this speech, I announce that the name of our school has changed from Jaya Negara High School to First National Academy of Supernatural Power High School," said Leopold.
Listening to the announcement of the new school name, all the students applauded the inauguration.
"That's a cool name," said Radit.
"Well, not bad naming," Leonardo said.
"Uh, didn't you already know?" said Steven.
"Of course not, all fools," Leonardo said.
"The name of this school has become strange," said Raka.
"From an ordinary private school to a supernatural school," said Renal.
"Isn't that cool?" said Raka.
"Then we will have our superpower training, right?" said Johan.
"This is amazing!" said Raka.
The principal talks about what's new in the school, and in a few moments another teacher explains about the infrastructure, lessons and stricter rules.
After almost an hour, the announcement had entered its final part. Principal Leopold who had looked like an unreliable person now had a completely different aura and expression.
He looks fierce, decisive and responsible.
"This is the last part of the announcement. It's not on the agenda, the teachers are a bit against it so that you kids don't remember bitter things. But for me this is necessary, because history is not to be forgotten but to teach lessons to be stronger," Leopold said.
"So let us remember in our hearts and pray for those who did not survive this worst tragedy in history. May your classmates, your playmates, your best friends, and the teachers who taught you and the staff who helped you during your schooling who did not survive the tragedy have peace of mind," Leopold said.
Everyone, students, teachers and staff who heard this bowed their heads. Many of the students cried because they had lost their friends who used to play, study and joke with them.
The teachers were also unable to hold back their emotions and shed tears, even the staff.
For five minutes the principal just stood and looked down, then spoke again.
"Students, keep your spirits up! Make the next day brighter than the last. Thank you," Leopold said, then stepped off the stage.
After she came down, the female teacher who pulled the principal up on stage stood in front of the microphone.
"For these three days, you will not be studying and are free to do anything at school. Thank you and this announcement is over," said the female teacher.
Some students immediately got out of line and some were still standing on the field.
"What a strange principal," said Raka.
"Yes, but it's amazing and looks very reliable," said Radit.
"Really?" said Raka.
"Yes, I'm sure of it," said Radit.
Everyone could move freely without lessons for the three days given by the school. Radit and his classmates returned to class, some of them went straight to class.
With this, a new school system based on supernatural powers has been inaugurated.
