7. School starts on May (Lian Er)

(Lian Er-Lan Nong)

When I actually got the permission to go to school from Sister Xiaolan, I found that there were so many troubles that were as annoying as the dust in the utility room. In the week before school, I basically followed Sister Xiaolan, who had taken a long vacation, to handle the admission procedures and purchase school supplies, which made Sister Xiaolan and I mentally exhausted.

But in general, we have overcome all the troublesome preparatory work together! On May 23, this memorable day, my Lian'er finally took an important step in her life for the first time, like other children, carrying a cute schoolbag and heading towards the mysterious and intellectual campus.

Uh-

Actually, even though it’s important, I don’t feel it’s that important. I just think it’s fun…

Since today is the first day of school, Meng'er the fool accompanied me to school.

Since pets are not allowed on campus, when we arrived at the school gate, we had to send Xiaoban, who had been accompanying us, back to the stone house. Xiaoban is a very smart modified dog, so we were not worried at all that he would get lost. However, he did not seem to have a good impression of the school. As soon as he arrived near the school, he started barking non-stop.

After finally seeing Xiaoban off, Meng'er and I walked into the campus together.

The school that Sister Blue enrolled me in was the Wallace Memorial Academy where Tris attended. It was a half-day middle school that covered everything from junior high to high school, and I was enrolled in the first-year Class E of this middle school. I was originally in Class A, but after Sister Blue had a long talk with the campus grandfather, I ended up being in Class E like Tris.

According to the school schedule, we go to school from 7:00 to 1:00 every day. We have to have breakfast at home and lunch at school. I heard from Tracy that the nutritious lunch for school didn't seem to taste very good, so Sister Xiaolan asked the kitchen to make a lunch box for me. But actually, I would rather it was made by her herself - even though it's not as delicious as Uncle Stallone's.

Before class, we reported to the principal's office first.

The principal was the old black man with a mustache who had met us a few days ago. He was friendly and polite, and wore a pair of gentle gold-rimmed glasses. When we arrived at the principal's office, another female teacher dressed in a suit was already standing there. She was a young girl with long aqua blue hair. I knew her name and her last name.

"Doris—"

Seeing Doris appearing strangely in the principal's office, Sister Meng'er screamed rudely.

As a parent's child, I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when I saw the slightly troubled expression on the principal's face. But the reason why Meng'er Fool is Meng'er Fool is that she is very smart at heart, but on the surface she still looks like a silly and irritable girl. I don't know if she is deliberately pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, or if she is born a fool.

"There's no need to be so surprised, right? Ruan has to find a job after graduation. Recently, my mother has stopped giving me pocket money. If I don't support myself, will you support me?"

Compared to Sister Meng'er's flustered reaction, Sister Doris seemed much calmer. After mocking the president, she turned her gaze to me and said with a smile, "Sure enough, there is a destiny between Lian'er and me. I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way in this vast sea of ​​people."

I was genuinely happy to see Sister Doris again, so I smiled back at her.

Facing my smile, Sister Doris exchanged glances with the principal, then cleared her throat and said to us formally and solemnly: "Let me formally introduce myself. I am Doris Kant Caesar, the homeroom teacher of Grade 1 E. Lian'er, you can call me Teacher Caesar. From now on, I will be responsible for teaching you Chinese, mathematics and basic practical skills."

I had intended to politely greet my future class teacher, but Sister Meng'er ruined all my preparations before leaving with just a few words: "You're going to teach so many subjects? And they're Chinese, mathematics, and practical combat? You should know Bai Ye and Ms. Isabella from our guild, right?"

"Strictly speaking, Teacher Isabella shouldn't be considered a member of our guild, right?"

Faced with a monster parent like Stupid Meng'er, Sister Doris rubbed her temples helplessly.

At this time, the silent principal interrupted their conversation with grace: "I am so sorry, President Ehard of the Stone House. In fact, our school is essentially a civilian school that adheres to the principle of universal education. Although we believe that our teachers and equipment are first-class, they can't be the best in the world. If you want to train your children to be the best talents, then perhaps -"

Before the gentle old principal could finish his words, the stupid Meng'er hurriedly apologized in a low voice: "I am so sorry, Mr. Principal of Wallace Memorial Academy! I didn't mean that just now. I just said something unlucky against a staff member of your school based on personal grudges. From now on, our Lian'er will rely on the teachers and principals of your school to take care of her."

After a lot of effort, the extremely stupid sister Meng'er finally said something more decent.

We didn't stay in the principal's office for long. Sister Doris looked at the clock in the room, then stretched out her hand to me and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Lian'er, let's ignore your sister Meng'er. The teacher will take you to the classroom of Class 1-E now. The children in our class are all naughty kids. You'd better be mentally prepared and don't let them scare you."

"Ahhhhhh!"

I shouted with confidence, and every shout was a determination to fight to the death!

(Although I'm not sure what the idiom "burn the boats" means.)

"Come on, Lian'er! Make a grand entrance!"

Even after I followed Sister Doris out of the principal's office, I could still vaguely hear Meng'er's idiot cheering.

Even if I didn't turn around to look at the source of the sound, I could vaguely imagine her stupid look as she waved her arms and shouted.

I tried to look back towards the source of the sound.

“That’s really the case…”

I wordlessly averted my gaze from the fool in front of the principal's office, and covered my burning cheeks with my hands in shame, but a smile appeared on my lips involuntarily, as if something sweet melted in my mind, making me curl my eyes with great happiness, and use my feelings to remember the touching moment.

"After all these years, she's still the same fool as always!" Sister Doris smiled down at me.

I nodded in agreement, lowered my hands from covering my cheeks, and raised both thumbs.

"Indeed, with a big fool like her around, boring life can always become interesting."

When talking about Sister Meng'er, Sister Doris showed a moment of nostalgia, but she quickly returned to her work mode as a teacher. She held my little hand and led me to the classroom, explaining: "When we get to our classroom, don't be nervous. I will introduce you to everyone. You just need to follow my instructions."

Introduce yourself...

I thought seriously about introducing myself to my classmates the whole night last night. I thought about using a writing board to display my name, and I also thought about introducing myself in the form of a comic strip. But in the end, while thinking about it, I fell asleep completely inadvertently. When I woke up, the sunlight had already leaked into the room.

However, since Sister Doris wants to introduce me, then I don’t have to worry so much.

"When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight~~When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight~~"

The principal's office is located on the top floor of the school, and the first-grade classrooms are on the first floor of the school building.

For some reason, the campus that was full of students just now suddenly became deserted. It was not until I walked from the stairs to the corridor on the first floor that I realized that the students had already gone to the classroom and sat down in an orderly manner. The neatly arranged tables and chairs looked like a formation of guards, giving me a feeling of solemnity and making me a little nervous.

When we walked to the corridor, Sister Doris let go of my hand and walked a little faster. This made me, who was behind her tall figure, have a more clear understanding of our teacher-student relationship. From today on, in this Wallace Memorial Academy, I should regard her as Teacher Caesar, not Sister Doris.

Chirp, chirp, chirp—

In a blink of an eye, we landed under the nameplate of Class 1E. The corridor and the open door were filled with noise and chaos. It felt a bit like the state of the Stone House Tavern District, but not so lively or violent. It was an indescribable vitality. Suddenly, this vitality stopped in an instant.

Why did it suddenly become quiet?

Out of curiosity, I followed Teacher Caesar into the classroom.

hula.

As I stepped over the low threshold, a mysterious voice seemed to whistle past my ears -

Sight. Sight. Sight.

Many gazes were cast upon me all at once. I thought I had gotten used to people's gazes a long time ago. Even when I was surrounded by many older brothers and sisters in the stone house, I had never felt afraid. However, at this moment, the gazes filling the room frightened me so much that my legs went weak and I almost fell to the ground in public.

"Tris..."

I looked around for Tris, but there were too many unfamiliar faces, and it seemed impolite to check everyone one by one, so I was unable to immediately find Tris, who might have made me feel at ease. Teacher Caesar over there gently put his arm around my shoulders and took me to the front center of the classroom.

"Good morning, classmates. Yes, you read it right. After Tris, our class has a new transfer student. This is Lian'er - Lan Nong, your new classmate. Unfortunately, Lian'er was born with a speech problem, so she can't speak directly. In short, you should find a way to get along with each other! Don't bring me unnecessary trouble."

Unlike the friendly image I knew in the past, Teacher Caesar was cold and stern in front of the students. After a brief introduction of the transfer student, she arranged a seat for me. It was the second to last seat on the right hand side by the window. Sitting in front of me was a rabbit boy, and behind me was a girl sleeping with her arms buried in her hands.

None of them took the initiative to greet me.

After I sat down, the whole classroom began to make tiny crackling sounds, as if a large clockwork machine was operating rigorously according to some unknown rules.

8. Midterm exam? (Lian Er)

(Lian Er)

Buzzing, buzzing...

It felt like a thousand little bees buzzing in my ears.

I had only been sitting down for three minutes and the chair was not even warm yet, but I vaguely understood why Sister Xiaolan was so worried beforehand.

That's because going to school is really not an easy thing.

"Um, the new guy in front, can you pass it to me?"

There were two small thuds, and as the request was made, the bottom of my chair was gently kicked twice.

My nerves were tense, and I immediately shrank my neck and quickly turned to look behind me.

A tired-looking girl's face came into my sight. She had long flaxen hair that was not neatly combed and tied up in a simple ponytail. She had dark circles under her eyes and looked lifeless. She held up several books and urged, "Why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and pass on the lessons──yawn──"

After being complained about, I immediately took the books and, like other students, patted the shoulder of the beastman boy in front of me and passed the books of the girl behind me to the front. The passing went very smoothly. The boy did not say anything, but just quietly put away the books and passed them to the front for the students closest to him to collect and organize.

"It's like a transport team of ants..."

I recalled with regret the transparent ant house in Sister Bai Ye’s room.

After finishing the homework, the classroom activities gradually entered the next step. Teacher Caesar talked about the school trip. The unfamiliar students showed excitement and actively discussed the location of the trip in groups of three or five. Finally, the location of the trip was voted to be a ranch in the suburbs near Panlong Forest.

I heard that the ranch has many rare animals, and you can have barbecues there and fish by the river. It's a travel destination full of rural flavor. I should have been looking forward to it, but as soon as I heard that we had to go together in groups of four, the novelty was immediately swept away and turned into deep distress.

Fortunately, Teacher Caesar seemed to be aware of my situation. She did not ask us to submit the group list immediately, but said that we would discuss this matter in the class meeting a week later.

When the class meeting was over, I officially started my first junior high school class in my life.

The first class was basic runes. The teacher of this subject was a friendly middle-aged man with a big belly. His last name was Utah. Since Meng'er taught me fighting knowledge on a daily basis, I also recognized some of the knowledge in the book. But in general, the content taught by Teacher Utah was obviously beyond the progress of Meng'er and me.

Because I couldn't keep up with everyone's pace, I spent most of the class in a daze.

"Should I ask a question? But everyone seems to understand..."

"Class is unexpectedly... not fun."

Time seemed to be absorbed by an endless black hole. When I came back to my senses, the clock had already rung and it was time for a break. At this time, Trish, who was assigned by Teacher Caesar to help me adapt to the environment, came to my side. She greeted me with a joyful smile and said, "Come on, I'll take you around!"

It seems that people need a little buffer time to switch from daze mode. I spent a few seconds silently thinking about the meaning of Cui Si's words. Then I nodded at her woodenly, dragged my body that seemed to have turned into a plant and stood up. As the viewpoint moved from low to high, I suddenly found that there seemed to be a lot of eyes around us peeping at us.

"How strange... classmates..."

I frowned in confusion, and Tris quickly noticed this and shyly covered her cheeks. "What's wrong? Am I really not suitable for such a refreshing way of speaking?"

A refreshing way of speaking?

If she hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed it.

Tris seems to be a person who thinks carefully about everything. She thinks carefully before speaking every word, and her excessive seriousness often makes her tone of voice become hesitant. In my opinion, that is a very personal way of expression, but she herself seems to think that it is a shortcoming that must be corrected.

After being disturbed by Trish's words, my mood suddenly improved a little.

I took out my writing board and said to her, "Hurry up! There's not much time to rest!"

I tried hard to encourage myself, and excitedly grabbed Trish's hand and led her to the outside of the Class 1-E classroom.

"By the way, where are we going?"

I rushed out the door without any plan and looked at Trish in confusion.

Her face was very red at this time. Was it because the weather was too hot?

I loosened my grip on her hand, touched her forehead, and spoke tentatively.

"Uh-huh?"

"Ah Yaya... shall we go to the music room first? Oh! No, there is no music room in this school!"

As if a strange switch was turned on, Tracy looked around panickily, and her two black eyeballs kept rolling around, which made me imagine that they suddenly lost control and fell off. Because of this wild fantasy, I successfully made myself laugh, and laughed heartily without paying attention.

Because of my laughter, Cui Si stopped her exaggerated reaction and changed to a worried tone: "Lian'er, did you do that on purpose just now? You were shaking...shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking on purpose...It's okay, please pretend I didn't say anything! Let's go for a walk in the gym! We have classes there this afternoon!"

Tris is such a strange girl. She often becomes suddenly emotional. Even if you question her, she will just keep saying that it's okay. If you push her too hard, she will run away. If she really runs away, she will not appear for a long time. Her temperament is even more unpredictable than Augustus.

Under Tris's diligent leadership, I quickly toured the entire Wallace Memorial Academy. The academy was very large, about the size of three stone houses. The gymnasium alone was half the size of a stone house and was filled with a variety of training equipment. Just the advanced and brand-new weight training equipment made me almost unable to walk.

In addition to the gymnasium, the library here also has a rich collection. Although it is not as good as the public library in the city, it is small but complete. The book classification method used is exactly the same as that taught by Teacher Isabella. Before leaving the library, I borrowed two sequels of the knight novel and understood the procedures for borrowing and returning books.

Just by taking a simple walk around the campus like this, I started to look forward to campus life again.

There are three classes in total in a day. In the next second and third classes, I must bounce back and strive for the best performance!

The second class is basic practice, a course that sounds very dangerous.

The gathering place for the basic practical class is not in the classroom, but in the practical training ground on the third floor of the gymnasium. There is the same protective magic circle as the basement of the stone house, which can ensure that students will not be seriously injured in battle. There are also professional first aid personnel on site. If anything happens, students can get treatment immediately.

The teacher who taught this subject was none other than Mr. Caesar whom I knew. When I arrived at the practical training ground, other students had already changed into full equipment. They were neatly lined up in eight rows and four columns in an open space, and Mr. Caesar himself had also changed his morning attire and put on a more defensive magic robe.

I was late and followed behind Tracy, quickly hiding at the end of the line.

After briefly counting the number of students, Teacher Caesar cleared his throat and said seriously, "I also talked about this in the last class. Today is the midterm exam for this course. The topic is single-player combat. The time limit is five minutes per group. You don't need to worry too much about the success or failure of this exam. Just put the knowledge I taught you into practice."

take an exam?

It’s only my first day of class and I have to take the exam right away?
