The Ranch

Classes (2)

The other child look around the room with curiosity. They have never been in a room that looked like this before, some of them didn't even know what college was, as it wasn't something that existed in the place they lived in. With peaked interest, the sixty to seventy children quickly spread around the room, checking out every nook and cranny. Private Scott was too busy trying to look after them to notice two individuals slip away at this time.

At this moment, Tih had already look over the whole room and wanted to look into the other rooms for observational purposes. Without thinking anything of it, he walks out of the room unnoticed by others. Kai, who was with him the whole time, did not question his choices and follows along, continuing to chat.

Tih walks back into the hallway and moves towards the door opposite of him, room 1. He opens the door and walks though in complete silence. Kai, influenced by Tih and the quiet surrounding, also stops talking and follows Tih.

After opening the door, a voice travels into the two's ears. "Technique and application. These are arguably the two most essential principles one needs to learn to achieve a high quality level of production."

They walk into the room, Tih casually taking silent steps and moving without making noise, and Kai, who's crouched low and is trying his best to not make a sound.

One silently striding into the room and one tip-toeing in an awkward way behind him, the two take a seat in chairs as they continue to listen to the lesson. "Can anyone tell me how to achieve this?"The instructor's eyes move around the room as he waits for someone to answer. A couple people try to answer the question, but are immediately denied by the instructor as incorrect.

"I think we're in Culinary Fundamentals," Kai whispered to Tih. Although Private Scott didn't click on Culinary Fundamentals and therefore the children didn't know what room number it was, judging by the responses and little information the instructor gave him, Kai guess they were in the cooking classroom. Kai mumbles to himself,"the answer should be..."

While Kai is thinking and the instructor is focused on the students, Tih takes this time to observe the culinary instructor. On the short and stubby side with the body shape of an oval, the instructor is wearing a white chef's outfit with its sleeves folded back, revealing his burly limbs covered in hair. A single bronze star is pinned on the outfit. A well-groomed handlebar mustache lays underneath a Roman nose, brown eyes, and well-trimmed eyebrows. His short messy hairstyle is been with hint of grey. The man looks to be in his early forties, with slight wrinkles forming in his face.

The instructor seems to feel the intense stare coming from Tih,"You! In the back, are you a part of this class? I don't remember seeing you yesterday..." He inspects the two boys. Although he's not familiar with everyone yet, since classes only started yesterday, but he was always proud of his good memory and he doesn't recall seeing the two soldiers in the back.

Immediately caught, unlike normal people that would panic at this point, neither of the boys' emotions fluctuate. Kai comes back from his thought to look at the instructor,"Sir! Is the answer, practice?"

Surprised, the stumpy man pauses before saying,"Correct...Through practice, you can gain experience and improve yourselves. It is especially important for Culinary, as you should eventually be able to make dishes purely based on muscle memory." Forgetting what he was questioning the soldier about, he moves on and continues his lesson.

After letting the newbies look around for a while, I make them regroup and we move on to the next classroom. I decide to bring them to Psychology for dummies, the instructor there is relatively laid-back and won't mind the intrusion.
