She realizes the last empty seat was beside me. She is shyly approaching the chair and glancing at it. Then she came up behind me and sat down alongside me. As she rustled through her sling purse, looking for her phone. Then she found it. She quickly scans the barcode, then types her whole name, and a brief flash appears.
I'm staring at her as she searches for her phone.
Hmmm... Why does she look so stylish? No, why is everyone here looking so stylish? And her sling bag too... It looks expensive.
Then she spotted me staring at her as I finished typing. After coming over here, she merely sat down next to me without making any attempt to engage in conversation.
Teacher: "Alright! The time is coming. Because everyone is already here, then please stand up. We will be going to the main hall for the ceremony."
As he begins to stand up, so do the other students, including myself. Then, all of a sudden, everyone's body vanishes from the bottom to the top.
Wait what just happened? *As I raise both of my hands, they vanish.
It appears to be devouring my entire body. Until it got to the eyes. My focus shifted to another location. It all happened in a millisecond.
The other student was standing in line, and we were all standing without a chair. We were transported into the main hall. With this size and grandeur of the hall, it was almost like a theater hall.
The hall was enormous. All of the students teleported in the same manner as us. As the students began to converse, the room quickly became full. It took them all by surprise. The floor, including the stage, was covered in vinyl. The entrance hall has a stage with a higher-level floor and a double short stairway leading to it. One was on the left side and one on the right. It has a podium in the center and a microphone on it. The stage has large garnet curtains that may be closed to conceal the stage.
Taka and the girl who had arrived late were still standing near me. Taka maintains his cool, putting both hands into his hoodie pocket and staring towards the stage, waiting for someone. While the girl is perplexed by what has just occurred. She continually glances left, top, right, left, top, right. Even though her dress is quite stylish, she looks adorable.
Hmmm... Where is Myra... *I attempted to look around.
Oh...
She was directly behind me on the right side. She closed her eyes and crossed her hands. In comparison to the typical reaction, both people appear to be rather calm.
But, with so many students in this hall, I couldn't identify a single teacher.
Then someone joined the stage unexpectedly. He entered from the stage's back right corner. It was a very short man dressed in a long-sleeved aristocratic suit. His hair is long and golden in tone. The hair is tied in the center and lines the long side hair. His eyes are blue at the top and indigo at the bottom. Within his suit, he wears a double-long shirt. The first layer shirt is white with a black neck crease and black sleeves. The second shirt is gold in hue with crimson at the waist and blue sleeves. His golden suit hides both of his shirt sleeves. The golden suit sleeves were folded, revealing a portion of the shirt sleeves layer by layer. The suit has a double wrinkle. The initial layer is white and shines, followed by a golden layer with a white-collar crease. The undersuit was the same color as the sleeves of the second shirt. He's dressed in long black slacks and black loafers.
*Author: I swear my head just spinning tried to explain this character design. Hope you will understand my meaning.
As he walked up to the stage, he paused at the podium and attempted to speak. From our vantage point as students, we could only see through his eyes. Only a few strands of hair are visible at the top of the podium.
"He'gheeemm..." He pretended to cough while remaining as formal as possible. After he did that, the crowd became silent.
Then someone I'd seen before appeared quickly from the right side of the backstage. It was the tall girl with aqua hair I saw in the parking lot as I walked approaching this building. She was carrying a tiny wooden chair with a circle on top. Then she placed it immediately after his foot.
Ah... That girl... So she was the principal assistant?
Then he uses it to assist him in reaching the podium mike. We finally get to see his face. The female takes a few paces back before coming to a halt behind him. The silence is deafening.
"He'gheeemm." *Fake couching again.
"Welcome to the Whale Coast Academy. Let's start with an introduction first, shall we? I'm the principal of this academy, Hadate Kojussai. As the principal, I will say all of you here are great candidates to be heroic people who would defeat and save our city from evil. I've seen from here every single of you-" *As he moves his gaze from left to right. "-has a very unique power that can be useful both for this city and you." *As he pronounced the word 'you', He smiled briefly before returning his gaze to me. I notice he is staring at me. He then takes another glance around. "Without any more talking, as a principal of the Whale Coast Academy, I'm announced the second season of this school, will be started." Then he clapped his hand near the microphone.
Everyone began to cheer as well... The applause was loud, and it motivated everyone in the room, including me. Taka and Myra were both smiling for a brief moment. The girl next to me was clearly moved by it, as she did not clap but instead held both of her hands in front of her chest.
Why did he look at me for a second?
Hadate: "Then..." *Slowly, the clap came to a halt. "I believe our students would like to immediately start their classes. I will close this ceremony by saying thank you and goodbye to my student." As he spoke, the girl behind him placed her right palm on her head, attempting to take a deep breath. "I hope everything you learn from here, the intellect, practice, and trust would help my student journey to level up, as the best of yourself. The power does not come by itself, but it will come as the brave person going through the pain. That's all, and I'll be waiting for you on top there."
As he completed the word. The audience begins to applaud. The clap was even louder this time. The student begins to speak since they enjoyed the motivational speech.
Wow, so this is the principal... If he was the principal, how high is his level right now?
System: "Question confirmed. There is no maximum number of the level. The greater the level, the more powerful the person is."
I see... I'm asking about his level not the system level.
System: "You required that kind of information first before attempting to know the level of another person."
As the system attempts to complete the statement. He takes a step down and walks away from the girl, while we applaud.
Hadate: "Teleport them all right now, Azuka." As he came to a halt near her, he smiled and looked away from us.
Azuka: "Yes, I understand." He came to a halt near her, turned away from us, and smiled at us.
She lifts her right hand as the audience continues to applaud.
Azuka: "Etheric Transfer."
Then she snapped her right finger. *Click!
After that, our bodies started to vanished again from the bottom to the top.
Then we were teleported back to our Twilightshade room, where we were standing in the exact same place as previously. The teacher is then teleported back to the front, exactly beside the chair.
Hooo... So that's the girl's power. How is that even possible?
System: "It was teleportational power. It allows the user to teleport a person or an object to another location."
He checks his phone. It was already 08.30 a.m.
"*Sigh. When you wait for the time, it becomes slower. But when you don't it will be faster."
He uttered it in a hushed tone. We couldn't understand a word he said.
"Alright, sit down. We will begin with a class structure introduction."
He also takes the first seat. The other student, as well as me, begins to sit down.
Hah... The chair is not soft but it's better than just standing up like that. Hmmm... I feel like the principal knows our pain as the student, he just quickly finishes up the ceremony. I just like this kind of principal.
"Ummm..."
It was the girl's voice next to me. She tries to communicate with me.
