Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: First Impressions

"Wake up! Satomi Adney!"

Someone called out and told me to get up, I opened my eyes slowly and found that it was a man about 180 cm tall with a creepy face.

He was quite tall for a teacher, and I thought he was an athlete.

Of course I was pretty sure that if I didn't get up immediately, then a severe punishment awaited me.

Although it was a bit hard, I reluctantly moved and got up from the bed.

One of my feet treaded on the floor of the room, followed by the other.

He was so different from my father and of course he was different, what a fool I was.

Maybe it's because I'm still not used to being separated from my father, now I'm imagining him.

Even though I knew that this was a restricted boarding school, I still hoped that my father would come visit me later.

I also hope to see him again later.

"You have 10 minutes, get ready and leave!"

This man ordered me sternly.

I regained my consciousness and tried to focus on what I was facing now, which was this school.

"Ready to go!"

I then answered loudly with a firm posture even though it was a bit shaky.

"Good!"

After saying that, she left the room.

Now I had to take a shower and then prepare to go to school.

I only took a shower for less than 10 minutes, then I opened my closet and dressed in my school uniform.

There are only three uniforms in this school, the first is the compulsory uniform, the second is the sports uniform, and the third is the club uniform.

I currently have the compulsory uniform and the sports uniform, as for the club uniform it will only be available when I'm in Grade 2.

The compulsory uniform is worn during weekdays and the sports uniform will be worn during athletic activities.

After getting ready, I didn't eat breakfast and went straight to school because the food was provided by the school.

I left the dormitory area and arrived at the school area, then I immediately entered the classroom.

I myself was in class 1-E, this was the lowest ability class based on the previous entrance exam test results.

In this school, there are 5 classes per batch, classes A to E, it seems that the number of students itself is 31 students.

Class A is the flagship class and is often the pride of the school because it always wins national and international Olympic championships.

In contrast to class E, this is a class that accommodates students with mediocre abilities or you could say only a few levels up from ordinary students.

"Wow, look! Isn't she very pretty?"

"You're right! She's like a model with that kind of beauty!"

Having just stepped into the classroom, I immediately discovered the unusual state of the class.

Many boys were amazed and mesmerized by the beauty of the blonde girl sitting on the front bench.

All the back benches had been filled with boys chirping, I had to sit on the front bench just like during the test.

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Is there something you like?"

"Let's be best friends!"

Many students in the class were crowding around the girl and I think she was having a hard time dealing with all of them.

Not only the boys, the girls didn't want to be outdone to talk to her either.

People with beautiful faces and good looks always attract attention, it's because they have an attraction that can tolerate all the mistakes they make.

This is inversely proportional to the person who does not have any attraction, he will continue to be considered guilty even though he has no faults.

That was how this unfair life would continue.

"My name is Lina Lyubochka, I want to be a doctor, hello everyone!"

So her name is Lina Lyubochka, she was easily popular on the first day of school.

She wanted to be a doctor and that's why she got into this school.

Good reason, Yuboh.

"Wow, are you from overseas? Your name sounds foreign."

"You must be really smart!"

"Hehe, not really. But thanks, I hope we can be good friends!"

"Sure, we can definitely be good friends!"

It turned out that observing and paying a little attention to the surroundings was a good thing to do, even though I didn't care about what was going to happen.

A few minutes later, a tall, thin, black-haired male teacher came into the classroom, probably over 180 cm tall.

He was taller than the person who woke me up in the dorm room earlier.

Then he sat down on the teacher's chair and made many students panic and then scattered to sit on their respective benches.

"Yes, please calm down! I'll introduce myself, my name is Smith Afton, just call me Mr. Smith. I will be your homeroom teacher for the whole year, please cooperate!"

"Yes, Mr. Smith!"

Only a few students opened their mouths when Mr. Smith finished speaking, perhaps they were afraid of the intimidating gaze issued by him.

His body was quite muscular and he had the height of an athlete, then the look in his eyes also looked like an eagle ready to hunt prey.

Of course it was scary.

"Before I explain about the rules of this school, it's a good idea to introduce yourselves to each other first. Starting with you, introduce yourself!"

Mr. Smith pointed his finger at me, which meant he was telling me to introduce myself.

I'm sure all my classmates were confused and wondering what rules to follow.

They must be hoping that the school rules won't make things difficult for them.

All my classmates' gazes were directed at me.

As usual and without any emotion, there was no need to stand up and I immediately introduced myself.

"Hmm... yes, my name is Satomi Adney, just call me Satomi! That's all!"

"Wait Satomi, don't joke around! Is it too hard for you to introduce yourself?! And please stand up when you're talking to the teacher!"

Of course she was angry that my introduction was too short.

Even her frightening aura clearly filled the entire class and it scared all of them, except myself.

If I'm punished even once for my actions, then I'll just have to live with it.

"Hmm... sorry, Mr. Smith, I don't have any advantages, after all no one cares if I mention troublesome things like hobbies and goals. Wouldn't most of them only remember the important parts? Like names."

With a bit of bragging, I answered her question.

"That's interesting Satomi, I'm amazed by your words. Alright, if there's one more person who introduces themselves the same way as Satomi, I'll just tell you to get out. Understand?! Introduce yourselves properly!"

Mr. Smith then looked at the whole class sharply and then issued threatening words towards them.

"Yes! We understand!"

All the students except me suddenly answered affirmatively when Mr. Smith threatened them.

It turned out that the punishment was only leaving the class, which to me was very light.

There was nothing wrong with my introduction, it's just that what I did and said made him helpless, leading to an outburst to the other students.

"Next you!"

Mr. Smith again pointed his finger at the man beside me.

Without taking too long he stood up and introduced himself.

Turns out he wasn't as scared of Mr. Smith as I was, which was interesting.

"Yo! Hello everyone, you can call me Danna! I love running and my goal is to be anything that makes money, hahaha!"

The guy next to me is named Danna, he looks like the class entertainer with his words like that, even he can still laugh to himself when the other students are scared.

"Well, at least it's better than Satomi. Next!"

Since her introduction was better than mine, Mr. Smith didn't get angry and told her to continue the introduction session.

This time Mr. Smith didn't point his finger because they already knew the way and it was their turn to do the introductions.

Next up was a popular girl who the whole class already knew her name.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Lina Lyubochka and just call me Lina. My hobby is learning all about science, while my most prominent flaw is that I don't really like sports. I want to become a doctor for my dreams, so thank you!"

"Applause everyone! This is the kind of introduction that should be acceptable. Good job, Lina!"

Mr. Smith became excited when someone introduced himself in accordance with his wishes.

He also told all the students in the class to clap.

In order to avoid Mr. Smith being in a bad mood, almost all the students clapped until there was a loud clapping sound.

Did I do it too?

Of course not.

Maybe I should praise him.

Yuboh, you did something good.

"You made the class atmosphere better because of that clapping sound," I muttered.

"Enough, next!"

Fortunately, Mr. Smith didn't listen to what I was muttering and the introduction session continued.

I was bored.

Now that I didn't care about the introductions because all that mattered was that I had done them, I decided to rest my head on the table.

And so the long and time-consuming introductions continued, until finally all the students in the class had introduced themselves.

Come to think of it, I only knew two of my classmates' names.

It's quite sad even though I don't really care.

"Good job, all of you! Satomi, don't sleep while I'm explaining!"

"Sorry!"

Mr. Smith reprimanded me for seeing my head resting on the table and without thinking I apologized immediately, even though I wasn't sorry at all.

"No second apologies, get out now!"

Well, it looks like I made Mr. Smith angry.

He pointed his finger at me and moved it towards the door, of course it was an order for me to leave the classroom.

"I want students who obey the rules! Satomi Adney, come out now!"

I paused for a moment to think.

I'm not going to be punished severely just because of this, am I?

If it wasn't a problem, I would have come out now.

It's not that I'm afraid of being severely punished by Mr. Smith, it's just that I don't want to do much on my first day of school, let alone undergo severe punishment.

I just want to relax, that's all.

"Yes, Mr. Smith!"

"Good, please regret what you just did!"

"Yes, I understand... Mr. Smith!"

Without taking too long, I walked out of the classroom past Mr. Smith and some of my classmates.

My feelings at this moment?

Of course flat and without any emotion, plus I didn't care about the punishment.

I'm sure that I'll be fine even if I'm looked down upon by them.

What is my first impression of this school?

Troublesome.
