"Like water on a taro leaf, Today is Monday.
No need to rush to school too early, a little late won't hurt, right?"
"I learned from yesterday that, 'patience and perseverance are more important than excessive enthusiasm. Slowly but surely."
"Maybe I need a calendar," "Who would have thought that I would go to school on Sunday, how foolish of me."
"I went to school, as usual I passed my favorite place, which is the back. Skillfully I jumped and landed perfectly."
"Darn, I'm really great."
"Late in the afternoon, lazy." Said Hayden while lying on the warehouse near the fence.
"A little late won't hurt, right?"
Hayden decided to sit, then he yawned "late? What's that, it's already break time."
"Yeah, what else can I do, it's already too late." I said
Hayden stared at me with a strange look. "What is the government really doing, people like you can rise?"
I felt a little stung by his words.
We decided to go to class together, and sit in our seats.
The class looks more lively now, with students chatting freely. It seems that a more cheerful atmosphere has been created after Rey and his group were defeated.
Hayden continued to sleep in his chair with his face covered by a book, while many people greeted me. Somehow, maybe because I don't have the firmness like Rey, I am considered trivial.
I feel boredom creeping into my heart, even though yesterday everything was so much fun.
Seeing the cheerful smiles on their faces, busy chatting and joking, made me lost in thought. I started to think, "Maybe this situation isn't as bad as I imagined, I once read this, 'loneliness is not the absence of people around us, but the absence of meaningful relationships with them.'"
But it still remains a question in my mind, why do they want to follow Rey. Even though Rey is not the strongest among them.
Basically, fear does not arise because of Rey, but because of their large number. They gather and speak loudly like a pack of barking dogs.
The sound of the bell rang.
Someone is seen entering the classroom, it turns out that it is Bu Celsi's class now.
When she started teaching, I looked at her face. The cheerful face that was usually hidden, now radiates again. Maybe it only appears when she is teaching, making the classroom atmosphere more enjoyable.
In the middle of the lesson, we heard noisy voices from outside, it sounded like there was a fight. In my mind, the question arises, "Could it be that Rey is back? Isn't this going to be exciting?" A smile inevitably crossed my face.
Suddenly, the classroom door slammed open.
A man wearing a black hoodie, and wearing ant-shaped earrings is seen.
He was holding someone's hair who fainted, I saw the scene behind him where many students also fainted.
Hayden took the book off his face, he slowly opened his eyes and saw the man at the door, it seemed that Hayden was not fully aware yet.
"Who's the leader here," the man said casually, although the hidden anger behind his words was clearly felt.
No one replied but everyone looked at me. Because of that the man realized that I was their leader.
After that, he was already in front of me. I saw him from earlier how he could already be in front of me.
Hayden also realized that, his eyes widened. He couldn't believe in that speed.
I didn't have time to dodge, as a result I was thrown into the air. I tried to maintain balance by swinging my legs to the classroom ceiling. And slid towards the man.
Seeing that, the man also launched a punch towards me, his reflexes were good, even though I slid quite fast.
I spun and landed behind him, as a result his punch missed. I took advantage of it by launching a punch to his face.
The punch hit him, the effect of the punch made him bleed a little. He was slightly surprised, I took advantage of it by launching another attack.
Strangely when my attack almost hit him, I was thrown back.
My nose was bleeding, the pain was still tolerable, but still disturbing. I was really surprised by what happened.
I tried to stand this time, I put on a fighting stance. Anticipating a surprise attack.
At a time like this, Hayden was just sitting comfortably in his seat. he seemed to be enjoying this spectacle.
The man briefly glanced back, then looked back forward. His face showed a slight surprise.
He looked at me with a sharp gaze. "You're quite something," said the man with a smile.
He approached me, but I couldn't predict what he was going to do. His presence confused me, I couldn't make the right decision and was a little surprised when he passed in front of me, patted my shoulder, and left just like that.
I didn't move because I didn't feel any fighting intention from him. "Who is that guy," I muttered.
