Watching the Past

Chapter 7

     The screen showed a busy street with people walking everywhere. It was a city. Tall buildings everywhere with huge screens on them. Restaurants and shops all open, waiting for customers. Cars honking and bicycles ringins. People looking at their phones and calling to each other.

     "Woah." Eva breathed, astonished by the other world. She wasn't the only one who was amazed. The whole audience had their mouths dropped open, their eyes wide.

     "What are those technologies?" Otomai exclaimed.

     "Transportations and communications." Vini answered.

     "Cool!" Chibi and Flopin exclaimed.

     "That is a whole nother world." Alibert said, also amazed.

     Suddenly, the scene changed. This time, there were no tall buildings and cars. There were no huge streets and lights. There was a huge wide field covered with green grass. Trees were growing, but not a lot.

     Amalia smiled. She didn't see any green in the scenery before, and was worried for a moment that there was no nature in that world.

     "What a peaceful place." The Sadida king mumbled. Everyone in the theater took a moment to relax, even Vini.

     "I really want to visit there." Coqueline smiled. She began missing her animal friends. She left them behind at the tower. Kali gently patted her head.

     "Maybe," Vini shrugged.

     The scene changed again, and showed a school with students, looking to be teenagers, walking through the gates. They were all wearing short-sleeved shirts; it was summer. It then showed the classroom, where students were chatting and playing with each other.

     "Where is that place?" Eva asked, amused.

     "A school."

     "What's a school?" Dally asked this time. Vini put her hand on her chin.

     "A place where you learn. They are separated into groups and classes." Vini said, and frowned. "It's the easy definition."

     "Why do they wear the same clothes?" Flopin questioned, holding his hand up.

     "To represent that they go to the same school, and some other reasons." Vini replied and turned to the screen again.

     Suddenly, the door opened and a tall man with dark blue hair walked in. Immediately, the students took their seats. 

     Otomai's mouth dropped open. He didn't expect to see himself on the screen, ever! Ogrest smiled and hugged his father, who also unconsciously hugged back. His eyes were still fixed onto himself in front.

     "Who is he there?" Master Joris asked.

     "He's going to introduce himself now." Vini answered.

     "Hello, class. Some of you might know me already, but anyways, My name is Otomai. And I will be your homeroom teacher for this year for class 3-1." Otomai introduced. "Any questions?"

     "A teacher, huh?"

     "Well, Otomai is smart, after all."

     "It suits him."

     Otomai smiled at the people's words. He, too, liked his role in the other dimension as well. He had never taught before, but for some reason, he always thought it would be an interesting experience.

     "I like my job." He nodded as Ogrest smiled.

     "What's 3-1?" Eva asked.

     "3 is the grade, and 1 is the class." Vini said, trying to keep things simple.
