"New students and teachers, please head to room 412 to grab your school ID."
The day ended with that, shockingly, as the Head of School dismissed everyone.
It was noon by now, and it's time for the sea of kids who are rushing home to prepare for tomorrow, which is the actual learning. Well, except for those mentioned in Mr. Alban's announcement.
Arel was among those people.
The ex-colonel really can't wait to go home, his head has numbened to some pain and the returning pain soaring through his chest was immense. He can't understand it, why he'd suffer so much in just a quick time when he spent all those other weeks ago surviving just fine.
He roamed the hallways, intending to grab his identity card as he deepened his thoughts, at least the ones where he doesn't end up writhing under the burn in his head.
He was mildly convinced that Yusol was the same as his general, but it doesn't seem that simple. Of course it's not, it's literally the still 11th chapter for fucks sake.. the author's not going to make it THAT easy..
But the main reason the ex-colonel could come to that conclusion was because of the innocence in the red-haired. His general had that look of experience, knowing in those yellow pupils, but the student was absolutely a kid.
Yeah, he looks like he'd killed before, but it's definitely just the way he is physically. Hopefully. Or maybe Generals just have that much training prior to the jobs.

Mindlessly wandering about stopped him from realising he'd been standing at the door of room 412. An administration room for students and teachers alike.
It's one of those pitifully large rooms that seemed more comfortable for printers than for humans, and Arel's seen plenty in his life as a colonel. Before the war, of course.
He breathes out, pushing the door as he notices a small queue of students who'd been standing ever so awkwardly. Ah, the new kids who don't know anyone, right? Despite being a teacher, the red-eyed is definitely on the same boat if it weren't for Aizen and Yusol.
Speaking of which, the blue-haired uggler was supervising the whole thing. His somewhat tan hands were crossed against his chest as he looked at the administration process, yet those lips curve upwards as he makes small talk with the kids.
A far cry from that bitch earlier, definitely.
It's great 'Lord' Aizen didn't ditch the whole day, if that's what he actually did earlier, and is acting like a decent student for these new kids to look up to.
"His finely shaved blue hair definitely seemed nice to touch, and those long locks?He's soo~ handsome," Arel could hear all those girls comment and giggle.
Seriously? The teacher didn't mean it that way..
Aizen looks like a bitch, but maybe girls just like limp dicks like him.
Arel could ALMOST feel jealous that the young student could win so many hearts, but he's got the best girl of all time.
Alcohol. Ah, no. Sorry.
The system!
Er… Alcohol in the system..
"What school did you guys come from~?"
The teen would ask the students, yet the answers fell into deaf ears as the substitute teacher was given his ID by the administrator.
His card was finely cut, and the formal picture really made him grimace. Afterall, his hair definitely wasn't the nicest to look at then, nor were the uniform firm, but he couldn't help feeling proud.
Ding.
Aha, time to leave.
The younger gave an annoyed nod at him as he walked out, clearly unbothered by the former.
Aizen's probably still pissed about earlier, right?
Ah, who cares. He'll deal with Aizen later, just not now.

Standing outside the room, Arel could only look at the notification. He'd dread this part, because he would just be reminded of how he's still in 'Goal one' despite having been here for a while.
[System online.]
Bless you, bless you. His general needs to talk again so he could curse the skilled one out for putting him in such a position. Fuck you, Yusol, don't confuse the ex-colonel here.
Even your younger counterpart is bad.

Mm. Aughhhhhg.
There's more people to interact with, Arel remembers.
Can they PLEASE. PLEASE not be bitches like those two forsaken names he won't ever say ever again at least for the rest of this volume?
Prolly not.
Well, Arel's gonna buy some food and contemplate tomorrow.
He'll be able to think once he eats, surely.
Or when the next chapter uploads, who knows.
