A week had passed since I helped Rose find out about the person who had been stalking her for a long time.
I don't know about her current situation.
Does Rose know that the culprit is Harry?
Has Harry apologized to Rose?
Has Rose forgiven Harry for what he did?
I can only hope for the best between them.
Maybe from now on I can't go to Rose anymore, the reason is because I'm too lazy to walk to the second grade area.
Besides, learning has already started today.
The new students didn't study at all in the first week, they just did free activities except during meal time.
But now, the students will get ready for the surprises that are in store today.
Surprise, that's anything that comes out of the blue and is unexpected.
Returned item surprise, cell phone surprise, and finally point system surprise.
I'm pretty sure that they will be surprised, because it's called a surprise.
"Wow, what is this?"
When I was near my classroom environment, I saw a lot of people looking at something.
I still couldn't see it because my view was blocked by them.
"Isn't this a drink machine?"
"I guess it is, but how do I buy it?"
"Maybe using coins?"
"I don't know."
I listened to some of their conversation.
Oh, I guess they were just looking at the drink machine near my class.
It wasn't there before, so it was only natural that they were surprised by it.
Well, I already knew a few things about the drink machine, so I didn't care much about it.
I walked into the classroom and sat down in my seat.
I was curious about my classmates' reactions after learning about some surprises that would happen today.
"Hmm?"
This cupboard, wasn't it not there before?
It seems like my classmates didn't realize the existence of the cupboard.
I guess it's only natural that they didn't notice it, since there were very few people in class yesterday.
Perhaps most of them chose to wander around the school environment rather than being in the classroom.
As for me, who chose to be alone, I spent most of my time inside the classroom yesterday.
I couldn't relax on the grass of the park because it was quite far from my class.
I could have gone there, but I was just too lazy.
"Satomi!"
Someone patted me hard on the back again.
I was sure that it was Fisa without checking.
"What's wrong, Fisa?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to keep you company."
"Is that so? You're not playing with the others?"
"Yeah, I already have a lot of friends, anyway. Instead of making a big deal out of it, let's show your expression now!"
Since yesterday, Fisa has been eager to see me with an expression other than a flat face.
I don't know what her purpose was in telling me to do that.
Even though I don't care, but she feels quite annoying if it continues like this.
"Sorry, I can't do it."
"Come on! Try lifting that skin off your face!"
"Umm... like this?"
"Ha-ha-ha! What the heck is that? You look like a robot with a malfunction! How funny."
As I tried to follow her orders, she burst out laughing and said that I looked like a robot with a malfunction.
"..."
I could only stay silent as I watched her laugh like that.
As I kept looking at her laughing face, Fisa did look cute.
I waited for her to finish laughing.
I guess she also has a jovial nature.
With that kind of nature, will she feel very surprised by the surprise?
I'll find out later.
"Hah, hah... my stomach hurts."
"Had your fill of laughing?"
"Sorry, Satomi. I didn't mean to mock you, but your face does look strange."
"I don't mind, you looked cute laughing earlier anyway."
"Eh-heh! W-what did you suddenly say?!"
Again like this?
Fisa's speech sounded stuttered just like before.
I didn't understand.
"Please take a seat, the lesson will begin now!"
"Eh, Mr. Smith?!"
Fisa, who was surprised by Mr. Smith's presence, immediately walked to her own seat, as did the rest of my classmates.
Mr. Smith told the students to sit down immediately and it didn't take long for them to comply.
When the classroom situation had begun to calm down, Mr. Smith began to open his mouth.
"Good morning, all of you! How was the free activity? I hope you enjoyed it. Before we start today's lesson, I'd like to explain a few things first."
After giving his opening greeting, Mr. Smith went to a cupboard that was not in this classroom.
Then Mr. Smith began to unlock the cabinet, although I couldn't see the contents of the cabinet, I was sure that it contained many cell phones.
Most of my classmates were confused by what Mr. Smith was doing.
A few seconds later, the cupboard door opened.
Sure enough, inside was a medium-sized cell phone, probably the size of an adult's palm.
"Wow, is that a cell phone?"
"That's great!"
"This school is the best!"
Of course, those who had seen that it was a cell phone started to get excited themselves.
"Can we play games on that phone?"
"I think we can!"
"Don't get your hopes up!"
They didn't seem to be scared of Mr. Smith anymore and started talking to each other until the class became crowded.
"Yes, please be quiet!"
When Mr. Smith told them to be quiet, the class immediately became silent.
Mr. Smith was indeed very good, with just a few words he could silence the crowded classroom.
Then the cupboard was closed by Mr. Smith and he went back to sit in the teacher's chair.
"As you can see, they are cell phones, and you will have one each."
"..."
This time they were silent, probably afraid that Mr. Smith would get angry.
"I'll call you one by one to take it. Satomi, come forward!"
"Okay!"
Then Mr. Smith called us one by one to get the phones, of course I was the first to go.
"Open the closet and pick one! Don't take too long, because they're all the same!"
"Okay!"
I quickly approached the cupboard and picked up a cell phone that was in my sight.
Having done so, I returned to my seat without being told to do so by Mr. Smith.
"Satomi, please don't play with it before I let you!"
"Okay!"
"Good, next is Danna!"
Just like that, all my classmates eventually got a cell phone each.
"Listen! The cell phones are not for playing around with, because the contents are only related to this school, and also these phones don't have internet, you can only access anything related to this school! Do you have any questions?"
"Can we still communicate with this cell phone?"
Lina raised her hand and asked.
"Of course you can, but it's very limited. You can only communicate with people in this school, such as sending messages or making phone calls. You will not be able to contact people outside the school."
Then Mr. Smith answered Lina's question.
I understand, so this school forbids its students to have contact with the outside world and only focus on the business here.
"Mr. Smith, what are the uses of this cell phone?"
Danna, who had been silent, asked Mr. Smith.
"The most important thing is that you can shop using this phone and the currency is points, for points you can get them in various ways."
"How?"
Lina then asked after Danna.
"That will be explained later, and for today you will only be given a cell phone!"
"..."
"You will be given 1,000 points for your initial entry, one point is worth one US Dollar!"
Mr. Smith added to his explanation as many students still didn't understand.
"What?! One thousand dollars?!!!"
They did not understand, but upon hearing the word Thousand Dollar, they were immediately shocked.
Of course they were surprised by the word a thousand dollars, because I think it's a pretty big amount for some teenagers.
Hearing all the explanations, I could conclude that I could buy anything using only this cell phone and the currency was points.
"Please calm down!"
Mr. Smith again calmed down the students who were starting to get excited themselves.
Those who were calmed down began to fall silent.
"Now please put your phones away, if anyone plays with it then I won't let them use it again!"
Hearing Mr. Smith's order, all of them including myself then put our cellphones in the desk drawer.
"Next, I would like to tell you one thing. Starting today, your belongings will be returned to the place where you used to live, including even the essential equipment, of course money is included too."
"..."
Everyone was almost silent because they didn't understand, but then they started to get excited because of the sudden announcement.
"What does that mean, Mr. Smith?"
"Why is it being returned?"
"My parents gave me a lot of money!"
Well, I understand.
When people are down, they no longer fear what they fear.
Mr. Smith didn't look angry and didn't tell them to calm down, I guess he was waiting for the situation to calm down on its own.
No matter if it takes seconds, minutes, or hours, I'm sure Mr. Smith will still be waiting.
"Because you'll be living on point."
When he felt calm, Mr. Smith began to open his mouth.
"..."
They fell silent again.
"If anyone still protests, you can go out now and protest to the school!"
"..."
They remained silent.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. Let's start the lesson now!"
Even when Mr. Smith started the lesson, they were still petrified silent as if feeling confused and depressed.
