“First of all, welcome to all of you who have come to our friendly school, Shenyu High School. Your presence adds brilliance to our school."
At this moment, we are in the gymnasium, and the one speaking on the stage is the chairperson of Feng Yu High School.
The chairperson is a mature and steady woman, dressed in a business suit, with a smiling face. The beauty mark at the corner of her mouth is particularly eye-catching.
"We are also honored to be here at your school, and we hope to have a pleasant campus life together during this period."
Standing up to reply is one of the twenty of us, a girl. Clearly, there are twelve boys among us, but not a single one stood up to speak. It's really embarrassing.
Each of them lowers their heads, afraid of being seen.
If it were me, I would definitely…
Oh well, I should also try to avoid the gaze of others. After all, this is the opening ceremony, and the whole school is here.
So, I really admire the courage of this girl. She is indeed a representative.
"Since we are here at this school, we hope that you can treat this school as your own."
"That goes without saying."
"If there is anything that is not good, please don't hesitate to point it out. After all, our school still has many areas that need improvement."
"Madam Chairperson, you are too kind. The environment of your school is amazing, and both the school uniforms and facilities are either beautiful or very well-equipped."
"You flatter me."
The chairperson smiles slightly. This girl is really good at flattery.
"That's why we are honored to come to your school for further education. This opportunity is rare in a hundred years. We are really grateful that our school's principal proposed such a meaningful plan, which not only deepens the friendship between our schools, but also gives us more opportunities to learn from your school's excellence. Thank you so much."
Tsk tsk tsk, she really knows how to speak. Should I applaud?
Hearing you say that, as the chairperson of the school, I am truly delighted. The expected outcome of this proposal is indeed full of confidence. To be honest, I was worried that the students from the friendly school would be resistant to coming to our school. But it turns out I was worrying too much.
"It is our honor, and we will never have any resistance."
"That's good."
The chairperson smiles and at the same time signals for the representative to sit down.
After the representative sits down, the chairperson gives her final speech.
"In the new semester, I hope everyone will study hard and make progress every day."
There is applause from the audience.
"Alright, next, I would like to invite the student council president to talk about some matters."
After saying that, the chairperson steps down from the stage, and the student council president salutes and steps up to the podium. With a pause, the student council president would give the speech.
Every school has a student council president, and this student council president gives the impression of being serious. She has deep blue hair tied into a single ponytail.
Her downturned eyes give her gaze a sharpness.
She looks over the audience.
"Just now, the chairperson welcomed the students from the friendly school, and of course, as the student council president, I also welcome you. However... the school's regulations must be followed by everyone, and there should be no reckless behavior. The members of the student council will patrol frequently, and if caught, they will be punished according to the disciplinary system. This treatment is fair to everyone. Let me take some preventative measures."
Alright, it means talking about school rules and regulations, so there is no way to have fun anymore.
"First, the school uniform should be worn neatly and not be worn crookedly. No graffiti should be painted on the school uniform, and it should not be modified casually. The school uniform is a symbol of the school's dignity, defacing or damaging it tarnishes the image of our school. Second, there is a curfew after 10 p.m. Boys and girls are not allowed to leave their dormitories without permission. Violators will be punished. Third, food in the cafeteria should not be wasted. Wasting food is shameful. And fourth, dating is not allowed in this school. If a male student is found to have intimate contact with a female student, a warning will be given. Multiple warnings will result in punishment."
In short, the student council president spoke a lot, and towards the end, I was getting sleepy.
"In conclusion, I hope everyone can follow these rules and regulations and together we can build a campus with a great environment and excellent discipline. Thank you all."
The student council president bowed to the audience and then walked confidently towards the backstage.
Of course, there had to be applause.
The opening ceremony thus came to an end.
After that, it was about class assignments.
I don't know if it was luck or someone pulling strings behind the scenes, but Zhiye, He Yuqing, and I ended up in the same class.
It was quite amazing, but also a good thing.
"Hello, everyone! I am your homeroom teacher, Zhong Meiya."
She was a friendly-looking woman with wavy hair.
"I have only been a homeroom teacher for half a year, and there are still many areas where I am lacking. I hope everyone can be understanding."
This teacher was quite modest.
"I hope to lead all of you well, and I also hope that everyone can cooperate and assist me, so that our class can become outstanding."
"Okay!" There were scattered voices from the audience.
"Not united enough, let's try again."
"Okay!" This time everyone was on the same page, and Zhong Meiya wore a satisfied smile.
"Now, please sit according to the seats you have chosen. If anyone wants to change seats, you can bring it up later. We are all teachers here, including students from the Oracles High School, so let's get to know each other."
No matter which school or class, this was an essential step.
After Zhong Meiya finished calling names, she arranged some class leaders.
He Yuqing surprisingly volunteered to be the life committee member, class monitor, and class vice monitor, but they were all taken by others, a boy and a girl. These guys were so proactive about being class leaders, but I didn't want to take on any official roles, so I just sat in the corner.
After that, class began. Since it was the first day, the lessons were relatively simple and there was less content.
As soon as the class ended, He Yuqing started showing off.
"Hey, Youjie, I became the life committee member. What do you think?"
"It's an honor. Do you want me to give you a medal?"
"Really? Where's the medal?"
Believe it or not, I smacked him on the head. He really shone when given a bit of attention.
"If you do well, the teacher will naturally award you an excellent medal."
"I thought you were going to give me one."
Give it up. Dream on.
"Oh... If you do exceptionally well, I'll give you a big medal."
"Really? Thank you."
He Yuqing was so happy, he could almost dance. Does this guy have no sense of being a boy?
"Youjie, why don't you take on something?"
I thought he was just enjoying himself alone, but it turned out he was bothering me like a pesky fly. I couldn't say anything since he acted like we were close and we were in the same dormitory.
"I don't have the ability."
"Why don't you have the ability? Are you weak or something?"
Can I punch him? Honestly, I really want to punch someone right now.
"I don't have leadership skills. I'll be obedient and just be a student."
"Wouldn't it be a lot of fun to continue like this? School life should be experienced more, so that we can enrich ourselves and benefit in the future. Isn't school also a society? There are small societies and big societies. If we learn from the small society first, we won't be at a loss when we enter the big society and won't get confused and unable to distinguish directions."
I feel like He Yuqing is just like that student council president.
"Youjie, do you agree?"
"You are absolutely right... so right!"
"Youjie also agrees with my idea. We are truly like-minded partners. Why don't you apply for a leadership position as well?"
Well, we're back to square one.
"Isn't everything already arranged? There are no more positions available."
"Who said that? The class representative hasn't been chosen yet."
Damn it, what else can I say?
"Well, I can't do anything about it."
"Why not?"
"My grades are just average. I'm not suitable to be a class representative."
"How can you say that? You can learn and improve. No one becomes a master in one go. Everyone has a difficult process."
"I really can't do it."
"You won't know until you try."
Why is He Yuqing being so naggy like a woman? I'm about to get annoyed. Can someone save me?
"No need to try, it definitely won't work."
"I'll recommend you when the teacher selects the class representative. Which subject do you want to be the representative for?"
Now he's ignoring my wishes.
"Thanks for your kindness, but it's not necessary."
"No need to be polite. I'll take care of it."
He Yuqing patted his chest.
"Tell me which subject you want to be the representative for."
I really have no way to deal with this guy.
"Science."
"Science? That subject doesn't exist. It's only in primary school."
According to the current situation, it should be physics, but luckily he doesn't know.
"Science is related to physics. Do you want to be the physics representative?"
He Yuqing's eyes lit up. Surprisingly, he has a strong intuition for these things.
"No, no, please don't recommend me again."
"If you want to be the physics representative, are you worried that the physics teacher won't agree? Didn't I say I'll take care of it?"
Please don't be so enthusiastic, it's infuriating.
Indeed, luck is always accompanied by misfortune. After luck comes misfortune.
"..." I don't want to say anything anymore. Let He Yuqing speak alone.
"What's wrong? Are you touched by my kindness? Hehe."
Hehe, you little brat. This guy is beyond help.
Not only is he annoying like a fly, but he's also acting cute... disgraceful!
"Ah... Zhiye, classmate,"
Zhiye walked over with a serious expression.
"What are you doing, Yuqing?"
"I'm chatting with Youjie. I wanted to ask him what kind of leadership position he wants."
"Shouldn't I be the one asking Jie such things? You should stay away from Jie."
"Stay away? Why?"
He Yuqing looked confused, "Although I'm not sure if you are male or female, your appearance is very feminine. So I won't allow you to get close to Jie. Consider this a warning."
Zhiye's warning actually helped me. I really hope He Yuqing stays away from me now.
"You're too overbearing. I am Jie's roommate and also sit next to her. You can't be so unreasonable."
"This is clearly the seat I wanted to sit in. And you..." Zhiye tried to suppress his anger.
"What's the problem?"
"Just stay away from Jie, that's all. Don't say I didn't warn you."
"You're so authoritarian," He Yuqing finally obediently returned to his own seat and kept his mouth shut. Just the thought of him constantly talking in the dorm and at school made me want to leave.
"Thank you for intervening, Zhiye," Zhiye's involvement really helped get rid of a troublesome person.
"It's nothing... I just don't want Jie to have any contact with him."
"I know he's a male."
"I understand... but still, Jie should stay away from him."
"I couldn't agree more."
