Chapter 78: First Day

There are five days in the yearly event called School wars, WordBagon Academy opens its doors to the other schools, and for fun compete with each other.

Sports, Bands, Roleplaying, cosplaying, anything is possible in these five days, and on the fifth day is where the main event happens, five different schools, two choices, and only one school must stand victorious.

Last year WordBagon managed to top second place while this is the year where they believe they might stand a chance at reaching first place.

~ At Class L1 ~

Sir Charles enters the room whistling a harmonious tune while looking confident, he places his large book on the table and starts writing,

H E R E A R E T H E C A N D I D A T E S F O R T H I S Y E A R ! ! !

It was a nerve-wracking scene, some students were covering their eyes, their ears just to not know whether or not they made it into the event.

Mostly everyone was sweating like crazy, Cassidy decided to be absent for the morning just to avoid the chosen people, Gray was trying his best not to look at the board while he faces down towards his desk.

Patrisha was merely shaking from her chair while Saya was completely asleep (she ran out of batteries) Arthur and Dorothy were holding their hands very tightly, Carla didn't want to look and was facing behind the board everyone was really curious and scared to find out.

Their teacher would block the way on purpose making it more suspenseful for his students... after a minute has passed, he stretches his body and lets out a sigh of relief and takes a step backward showing the class the names who were chosen.

H E R E A R E T H E C A N D I D A T E S F O R T H I S Y E A R ! ! !

1. Gray Dawson

2. Patrisha

3. Saya

4. Carla

5. Zack and May

6.Dorothy Ritsu

7. Arthur Ackerman

Once it was revealed that some students weren't listed some let out a sigh of relief and were all relaxing right after a stressful situation meanwhile...

Arthur, Dorothy and those who were listed were all depressed and moaning a low groan.

Reid clicked his tongue as he wasn't chosen to participate for this year, He raised his hand to ask a question,

"Sir, If I may.. why are there only seven participants for this year?."

He was hiding his furious attitude but their teacher could see it even from a mile away.

"Well the other three members would be from the... Student Council."

Everyone were silent as ever when they heard that the other three members would be from the Student Council.

From hearing about this Arthur was in deep thought,

[Who would be the other three? The President?? The Vice?]

A gentle poke from his shoulder, It was Dorothy, it was obvious she was scared and nervous but at the same time she was excited, He could know because her shining glittering eyes gave it away.

"D-Do you thin we can do it?." She blinks her eyes twice

[Is she giving me the puppy eyes?]

"Yeah sure we can."

Arthur gives her a big warm smile and ruffles her hair around while the whole class was in an uproar of joy as to know they weren't chosen.

from all the chaos that occurred in the room a hand was risen, Gray had a lingering question, he said,

"Umm excuse me sir. but who's Zack?."

Silence was brought back to the room, they all stared at the number five slot and was curious too, they haven't noticed the new name since they were all anxious about them being picked.

Their Teacher didn't let out a respond but was looking for something from the back row..

Someone opens the door and says,

"Huuuuuhhh I'm here like we agreed sir. Charles."

He had white hair and was clearly tired, his eyebags were as dark as the night, he seems to be holding something in his right hand, a cellphone? a notebook?.

The object in his right hand lets out a feminine protest,

"Stop yawning Mas--- I mean Zack It's been ages since we came to the room."

"Yeah.. a few months only."

The latecomer proceeds to enter the room as if it were a normal thing and what's even weirder was that their Teacher did nothing to him.. but in fact he wasn't even a new student.

"Some of you may have noticed an empty seat in the class right?... well that's his."

Sir. Charles grabs the boy's shoulder and whispered with an angry tone,

"Zack, your one week sure's really funny since it's been three months now."

He then faces his phone towards their enraged teacher as the girl in the phone says,

"Well sorry about that Sir. something came up and we couldn't just say no to it."

He lets out a sigh, takes a deep breath and lets it all out.

"Alright, care to introduce yourselves in front of the class?."

"No..."

Everyone [That was a fast response!]

"I concur please introduce yourself, Z A C K."

The massive amount of bloodlust coming from Sir as he placed his arm on his shoulders, the immense pressure emanating from his was frightening but he was acting like it was merely nothing and simply shooed off his hand.

"Huuuh what a boring way of talking to people..."

"Zack!! you better give me a spotlight too."

"Right Right!."

The whole class was silent and were prepared to listen to his introduction,

"Uhmm.... where do I start? my name's Zack and uhh... I'm just a regular human.. not so special whatsoever."

the girl in her phone looks up as her brows furrowed while Zack continued introducing himself in front of the class.

while in other people's minds to his introduction were...

[Is he serious?]

[No way!!]

After he was done he immediately placed a stand on the teacher's table and his phone on it and stayed at the other side to give her the spotlight that she wants.

"Hmmm??.... Oh! Hello everyone I'm May! nice to meet all of you I'm the same as Zack here just an ordinary person... I'm very far away right now because my country is under lock down.. but I'm hoping to make good friends with you all."

Sir. Charles smirked and thought,

[These brats! who do they think they are trying to hide their classes.. well for May I can understand since she's far away from here but for Zack.. what are you thinking]

Once May was done with hers Zack proceeds to get his stand and phone and goes to his seat, after that Sir. Charles removes his hand from the board, he covered the numbers three and five from the start so the two wouldn't notice from entering the room.

"Ohh boyy.. we shouldn't have come today May."

He lets out an annoyed sigh as he grabs his phone and shows her what he means,

"Am I suppose to count from here?... okay so we have number 1...2.. and...huuh?."

She noticed a familiar name written on the board and a brief silence occurred for a few seconds until...

"WHYYYYY AREEE WE BOTHHH ENTERING THE SCHOOOL WARRR!!!."

Sir. Charles takes a seat on his chair and gladly explains to them their predicament..

"Well I chose you two to participate for this year... is that a problem?."

Zack raises his left hand without hesitation and says,

"Yes sir. that's a huge problem... me and May aren't cut out for th--!."

"I believe not... you're here in this room aren't you?.. then you two must have something that could help out our school in this event."

While they were going with their protests, some of the students in L1 were dozing off to the windows being envious of the students out there having fun and enjoying the event.

"It's already final and the principal has agreed with it.. so there's no point changing the list now."

Zack lets out a bellowed moan and says,

"How troublesomee."

"Now for the participants, I want you all to gather in the gym at eight sharp in the morning okay?."

Gray raises his hand and asked,

"For what Sir.?."

"We'll be training of course."
