Chapter 155: start of class

BECAUSE of Luo Yan's height, he was seated on one of the seats at the front.  When he introduced himself earlier, he quickly counted the number of seats.  There were 20.  Four rows vertically with five seats each.  With his arrival, all the seats were now filled.

"In case some of you still don't know who I am, I'm Wu Hai.  I will be in charge of this class and I'll also be your Math teacher," Teacher Wu started to say, introducing himself.  "The class schedule and academic calendar have already been sent to your e-tablets."

The e-tablets the teacher said was similar to the one he used when he was taking the exam.  Each student of Guizu Academy was given one upon enrollment.  The tablets were modified in a way that only the Apps installed by the school would be there.  Of course, these Apps were all academic related.  An App for taking notes, an App that contained a collection of academic books, and a lot of other more.

The tablets had a fingerprint lock.  The students had to register their tablets using their student ID.  That would serve as their account for the rest of their stay at the academy.  Important announcements, even assignments would be sent to that account.  There was even a forum where all the students could post and interact with one another.  The academy had its own private server that made it possible to do that.   

Luo Yan got his a week after he took the exam.  He must say, this tablet was really convenient.  At least he didn't have to write notes or something.  Heck, he could just take a picture of the board and that would be it.  Being rich really had its advantages.

"If you have already read your class schedule, then you know that Math is your first subject of the day.  Being that this is the first day of class, I would give you a reprieve and let you have this time for yourselves.  I'll send the syllabus for this subject later to your account.  Be sure to read that and try to review the topics written there.  Well then, I'll leave you to it."

After saying that, Teacher Wu walked out of the classroom.

Luo Yan didn't expect that he would just leave like that.  And here he thought, the teacher would be the strict type.  Maybe despite looking like he had OCD or something, he was actually pretty laid back?  Well, that would be a huge gap indeed.

He already checked the class schedule.  Class starts at 8 am.  There were five subjects in the morning, 40 minutes were allotted to each.  Then there was another 40 minutes for self-study.  Lunch break was at 12 pm, lasting for an hour.  There were four subjects in the afternoon with the same 40 minutes allotted to each.  And then there would be 20 minutes, again, for self-study.  Class would end at four in the afternoon.  If a student had a club or other extra-curricular activities, they could proceed to it after class.

It was almost the same when he went to high school during his first life.  The exceptions were; students were not forced to do morning exercises, there was no nap time after lunch, the class ended at four instead of five in the afternoon, there was no evening class, and there's no class during Saturdays.

Luo Yan guessed that it's because this academy had a much more advance curriculum compared to other schools.  He had already noticed that when he took the exam.  If he was not reborn, there's a high chance that he would have failed the exam.  The students here had been exposed to that kind of educational system since middle school.  That's why there's no need for evening classes or an extra class every Saturdays.

He definitely preferred this school's class schedule.  At least he's guaranteed to be back home by five.  Which only really meant one thing – he had more time to play Arcadia.

Luo Yan was about to take the e-tablet from his bag when his desk was suddenly surrounded by a group of people.  Three girls more accurately.

He raised his head and looked at them.  "Yes?"

The three stared at him with eyes shining, as if they're looking at some interesting toy or something.

"Are you really the second young master of the Luo family?" asked one.

Although only the three walked to Luo Yan's desk, almost all the students in the class were interested in this new classmate.  That's why when the three girls walked to Luo Yan, all their ears were up to listen to their conversation.

"Yes," Luo Yan answered.

Hearing that affirmation, although they were already expecting it, they were still a bit surprised.

"So you're really the second young master of the Luo family?" another one of the girls said.  "But how come you look so young?  You look like you're in middle school instead of high school."

The last girl elbowed the one who just talked.  "Hey, don't be so insensitive.  He's been in a coma for years.  It's only natural for him to look like this.  He probably hasn't gotten his growth spurt yet."

The girl before seemed to realize that she must have said something wrong because she went on saying, "Oh, I'm sorry.  I didn't mean anything by what I said.  I hope you're not offended.  In fact, even though you look like a middle-schooler, you're probably the prettiest one here."

"Yes, your skin has no pores.  Do you have any particular skin care routine?" the first girl asked.

"I think it's all natural.  Have you seen Luo Jin?  Although he's more of a handsome type while his brother here is more of a beautiful type.  Bottom line is, they're both good-looking.  This is clearly the wonders of genetics." 

Luo Yan smiled naturally and smoothly said, "But I think the word 'pretty' is more applicable to you three beautiful sisters."

The three immediately turned red and then proceeded on introducing themselves.  They even became more enthusiastic in talking with Luo Yan.  Seeing the success of the three, others who had been wanting to talk to Luo Yan also crowded around his desk.  Introducing themselves and talking to him.

Beautiful people always had the advantage of getting the goodwill of the people around them.  They could just stand there and people would naturally gravitate to them.  It's especially true for Luo Yan's case.  Being a boy, add that to his current petite build, girls wouldn't feel jealous of him.  Except, of course, for those who had a narrow-mind and wanted everyone's attention to be always on them.  While boys of the same age wouldn't feel the least bit threatened of him.  Although some would probably feel conflicted because of how beautiful he was.

However, there were still those who would hate him for some other reason.  Just like the guy sitting two seats behind Luo Yan.
