"Teacher, it's fine for you to stand here... because you're a bit farsighted, standing too close would make it difficult for you to see Bloch's face clearly..." Adina moved her gaze away guiltily.
"At least try not to tremble, okay?"
"The teacher is just feeling a bit cold, please don't mind..."
"Cold?" I looked at the dazzling sunshine outside the corridor and the lush trees. "Isn't it summer now?"
"Well, actually, the teacher was once sprayed by the breath of an ancient frost dragon while hunting, leaving me with a chronic cold leg problem... so please don't mind."
"...Why is your face red, teacher?"
"Full of energy!"
"Why did it turn yellow?"
"Wax for cold protection!"
"..."
Liar! The breath of an ancient frost dragon can freeze everything within hundreds of meters into ice, no defense can withstand it, not even other types of dragons. If you only suffered from a chronic cold leg after being hit, that's really impressive!
Can't you come up with a more normal excuse?
"Seeing that you two get along so well, I can rest assured." Loran, who was standing in front of me, also trembled, but from her hand covering her mouth, it was obvious she was holding back laughter.
This guy, enjoying herself.
"Adina, I'll leave it to you now." She said, turning towards the staircase.
"Eh? Wait, Headmaster! Weren't you supposed to keep an eye on him?" Adina panicked suddenly.
"I'm going to take a nap... I mean, deal with some work now. With the collar and activation crystal, there won't be any problems. Moreover, beastmen are civilized races, and Bloch is a reputable student, don't you trust him?" Loran gave her a thumbs up.
Did she just say she was going to take a nap?
"Uh..." Self-dug Adina had nothing to say.
"Well then, see you two later." Loran left without looking back.
"Ah!" Adina raised her hand and stretched out five fingers, looking desperately at her retreating figure.
Silence persisted for a long time.
Ding, ding, ding, dong——
"Teacher?" I tried to speak.
"Eh! What, what is it, Bloch?" She who was left behind could hardly speak without stammering.
"It seems the bell rang."
"Oh no, class has started? Come with me, the classroom is here..." She led the way and then quickly turned back to check the distance between us, "Ah, don't walk too fast, it's okay to take it slow, slow down..."
Aren't you already running like a rabbit?!
Arriving at the noisy classroom, Adina asked me to wait at the door.
"Your enrollment has been notified to all academy students, so make a good self-introduction later. Unity and friendship are one of the school mottoes, and everyone will definitely welcome you. Let's work hard together!" She said.
Although the words were full of positive energy, your voice was still trembling, and seeing how you're so timid, I have my doubts.
Adina walked into the classroom and said: "Classmates, class has started."
The classroom noise did not decrease; it seems that this teacher did not have much prestige.
In our beastmen's class, if a teacher said "Quiet down, little rabbits, whoever dares make a sound will get a shoulder throw," no student would dare make another sound.
"As you all may have already heard, today the academy is welcoming a new student from the beastmen tribe."
Suddenly, the classroom became as quiet as a graveyard.
Hmm? The atmosphere changed a bit too quickly.
"His first class will be here, so, Bloch, please come in." Adina beckoned to me.
No matter whether I shrink back or stride forward, it's just as well to make the best of the situation!
I gave myself a confidence boost, stood at the door, and took a step through the entrance.
Bang!
Probably due to being too nervous, my foot accidentally kicked the door frame.
But I didn't stumble; instead, I left a dent in the door frame.
"Ah, sorry, I didn't do it on purpose." I quickly apologized.
The elves' door frame is not very solid.
"It-it-it's fine! Come on in!" Adina almost bit her own tongue, "First, come to the podium and introduce yourself to everyone..."
I slowly walked to the podium, facing the students in the classroom (don't know why they all seem to be female elves), cleared my throat, and began with the first words of my class: "Hello everyone...""Ahhhhhhhh--"
Rumbling...
The originally dead-silent crowd in the seats suddenly screamed in unison, the sound so loud that it almost shattered the ceiling. The students were seen standing up from their seats one after another, fleeing in a panic towards the back door.
Scattering like birds and beasts - this description seems quite appropriate, doesn’t it?
In the blink of an eye, the classroom is left with only the bewildered me and Adina in front of the podium.
