Teyvat Academy

2 - The Announcement

Time check: 2:30am
The front door slowly opened, creaking can be heard, but not loud to wake someone up. Fischl just got home, her mood seemed happy, since she was smiling even after she got in the house. She immediately checked her phone, she opened an app and texted someone, she's feeling so much butterflies in her stomach, and couldn't contain her giggling. As soon as she got her stuff down a table, she opened the lights to grab a drink from the refrigerator, though, she was met by someone unexpected. "Late again?" Fischl was stunned, she was caught red handed, and she didn't even feel nor saw him in the first place. "B-Bennett! Hey! Uhm... sorry, the project was-" She wasn't able to complete her sentence, since she was cut off by her boyfriend replying to her actions. "Project? Your friends told me they weren't with you, didn't you say you were supposed to work with them?" Bennett said harshly, he was crossing his arms as he was leaning on the table. Fischl couldn't find any more excuses, but she was trying to find anything in the house that can put the situation away from her being interrogated. "Wh-what?! Benny, why are you awake at this time? I told you to sleep earlier!" Fischl complained in the most annoying tone the male have heard.
"Don't try to change the subject, freak."

"Well I have heard that the students from the second building will be visiting ours." Barbara said as she was unwrapping a candy. Childe's eyes widened from the information he heard, and wanted to know more, since the second building was filled with low- class students they last bullied. "Seriously? You've got to be kidding me, B, do you believe her?" Barbara and Childe looked at Bennett, who seemed to be frozen in place, facing his locker. Childe walked up to him and patted his shoulder, trying to get his attention, but was unresponsive even by his actions. "B, you good?" The male finally snapped and closed his locker aggressively, causing it to make a loud bang that can be heard everywhere. Barbara slowly approached the two, eager to help but she doesn't know where to start, though, she did notice that one of Bennett's cheeks were redder than usual. "Benny, you okay? Your cheek is red, looks swollen." Childe then also took a closer look, yeah, it did look very red that you'll mistake it as a tomato. "I confronted Fischl when she went home at 2:00am this morning, but slapped me countless times for calling her a freak and staying up so late." Bennett finally responded, crashing down with an answer long enough for the 2 of his friends to understand the situation. Barbara cupped her hands together, and was apologizing for the trouble that made him miserable this morning, while Childe kept his hand on his friend's shoulder and spoke. "Freak, damn, I mean its true that she's an asshole for her having less time with you, but my man, you used to call her many mean names? What happened to the usual weirdo? Was Razor on your mind while you were speaking?" Childe explained, then letting out an awkward laugh at the end. Barbara understood the words Childe had said, they bullied another person, but she doesn't want to snitch on her childhood friend. "Fuck you man, I'll make sure you'll pay for that." Childe then didn't hide his laughter, and bursted out right in front of his friends, getting the attention of some students around them.

"Attention Teyvatians!" Their speakers suddenly chirped out, disturbing the main session the students are in.
"The students from the second building will soon move to their assigned section. Your teachers will give out papers to you, and you will move to different sections, or even possible, move to the second building! Us, personnel of the Teyvat Academy, thinks this will be a great idea for students to bond and get along with each other even more! One more thing, lower-class students will finally get to see upper-class Teyvatians, since we will assign a classroom to have 2 sections, one side will be the upper class, and the other will be the lower class, so all of you are on track on the latest learnings! Although, newer students will still stay on one classroom, due to the fact they they still need to familiarize faces and the main school, but students are always free to visit! Thank you Teyvatians, and I wish you all a good day. Always remember the motto "Teyvatians WILL make a difference!" From your school vice president, Jean Ronimoel."

Did the students hear that right? Switching sections? Oh this is bad timing for Childe and Bennett, due to the fact they are going to be in the same section as the people they bullied for being in the lower classes. Bennett stopped and dropped his pen due to him overthinking he'll be the same section as Fischl, or his reputation will be ruined by the lower level students. Childe was also flabbergasted by the information, Barbara was right after all, she wasn't lying. It wasn't long before their adviser walked in the room, holding stacks of paper and setting them on the table. "I will call you all one by one, and as soon as you heard your name, please grab your paper and find your assigned classroom.
"Alatus, Xiao"
"Ampulla, Sucrose"
"Canis, Gorou"
"Calamitas, Bennett"
The boy nervously stood up, getting his backpack and slowly walking over to the table, after getting his paper, he looked at Childe one last time before leaving the classroom, Childe put up two thumbs-up and smiled at him, making Bennett less anxious about the situation. He waved goodbye and left the classroom.
"That's the spirit, B."
"Delznufs, Childe"
"And that's me."

Walking through the corridors, Bennett had never felt this large amount of panic and anxiety revolving around him, after the situation with him and Fischl earlier in that morning, he couldn't imagine him being embarrassed by her when both of them are in the same classroom, or how much he'll be beaten up by revenge from lower class students for the trouble he have caused. He's never felt this scared, without the comfort of his friends. "Section A3 - Bartobas. That's one weird name." He spoke to keep himself calm, and taste his own sense of humor to make himself relieve from all the negative thoughts that's been swirling around his mind. Only his footsteps were heard as he gets closer to the door of his new section, new students, and new atmosphere. His hand reached the doorknob, and he inhaled deeply, before entering the classroom, and finally opened it.
Cold winds greeted him, and eyes surrounded him, everyone was quiet, and indeed making Bennett panic even more. He rushed walk to a seat without making eye contact to anyone, he knew that all of those eyes belong to the people he tortured. As he sat, he organized his thoughts, he kept himself calm, he fixed his breathing, and said to himself, "It's just a new section, nothing to worry about." His eyes finally met the classroom, it looks like his old one, but with new faces, and new outline. Desks were clean, the walls were decorated with strings and origamis, plus the classroom had a fixed bulletin board, unlike his old one. "It's not as bad as I thought it would be." He spoke to himself, finally getting used to it, until he looked at his seatmate.
He sat at the final column before the slice between upper and lower classes, and his seatmate, was the person he terrorized at lunch yesterday. His head was down, but he can still see bandages wrapped around it. Bennett had lost the sense of speaking due to the fact he's sitting right next to his victim, as soon as he was about to move, their new adviser walked in, amazing timing.
(But, he's a new student, how is he here? Isn't he supposed to be in a different classroom?)
("Although, newer students will still stay on one classroom, due to the fact they they still need to familiarize faces and the main school, but students are always free to visit!")

"Never fear, Yoimiya's here! And I'll be your adviser for this section! Goodmorning, everyone." Our new teacher proudly greeted us, and we greeted back as well, almost all of us, my seatmate didn't respond, but his head was up, and whatever it is, he's ready to listen. As soon as everyone got back to their seats, one student rose their hand to ask a question. "Yes, Chongyun?" The teacher quickly entertained the student and is prepared to answer whatever question it is. "Ma'am, one of our students here just got in the school, and he's mixed with us upper classes? Aren't new students supposed to be in a separate room where all of the newer students are also in?" The boy explained the question in detail to where the teacher can understand it. "Oh, I knew one of you will ask that, and I've got the answer!"
"You see, his older brother is one of the Valedictorians in the school, and is one of the Highest leveled student in Teyvat Academy. Due to that, his brother had thought many things to him right before he has entered this Academy, and was able to ace the warm-up exams that can lead you from being new, to lower-class position. He's here because he had a great potential in academic excellence and is qualified to do whatever it takes to be in a class position."
The teacher explained thoroughly, and it almost sounded like a story, but instead of an applause, everyone laughed. "Ha! So the reason why he's here is because of that damn brother? He isn't qualified for anything!" One student spoke out loud. "He probably cheated, he doesn't deserve to be in a class position, its unfair! His brother already thought him the basics!" Another one followed. "Ma'am! We should kick him out, he doesn't deserve it!"
"Don't think to highly of yourself, you got here because of your brother!"
"We are here because our knowledge is natural, and yet you used someone's brain to get in a position, how clever."
"I can't believe it, I thought you were better than this."
"Get out."
"Get out"
"GET OUT, FREAKZOR."
"Students! Calm down! Let me speak." Our teacher finally stopped the chaos that was emerging from the deep sea. Everyone looked at her, then looked back at Razor, disgustingly mocking him. Everyone then sat back down, though, my seatmate's head was still up, and his eyes doesn't resemble any form of tears or sign of crying. "You all should be lucky to have a student like him, he knows stuff that I know some of you don't, you shouldn't judge him too quickly!" Ma'am Yoimiya responded to us, and everyone was quiet due to the fact her tone changed from happy to disappointed, it was the time my seatmate finally put his head down, and exhaled. "In return, you all are getting a book report and it is due after two days, the book shall be about the archon war and the yakshas, YOUR ANSWERS MUST BE EXPLAINED IN YOUR OWN WORDS." She snapped, and everyone gasped, we haven't discussed anything about the archon war yet, nor about the yakshas, but we do know one of my once classmates, know so much about them, so I guess Xiao will be crowded with work and questions. "And I mean you all, except Razor. Its your act to apologize to him."
"Fuck you, freakzor."

We were free from all the boring sessions since the teachers had spared us time in reviewing for the book report, and everyone seems to be having a hard time. As I said, everyone kept crowding Xiao as they seek the answers about the yakshas and their past, though me, I'd like to keep things simple, and I'll start doing the book report tomorrow. "H-Hey... Ben..nett?" A student appeared in front of me. "What do you want?" I asked, he opened his book and started flipping many pages and stopped after some time, he then traced his fingers on certain parts of the book and finally found the question he was looking for. "Will you be my partner for this book report? I've asked everyone." Damnit, I wanted to work alone. I quickly scratched the back of my head, and shook it in response, which made him frown, a bit. "Wait, how about this- I feel like you and... Chongyun! Would be a great partner." I quickly added to remove the awkwardness seeping in. "Chong..yun? Ah, sure, thanks for your suggestion." He said right before walking to the guy I mentioned him about, phew, that was a close one. Though, my seatmate had gone to the bathroom quite a while ago, I wonder what happened to him? Eh he's probably crying, imagine being so breakable.
-
Just some time after everyone got home, I went back to my locker to get the books I have prepared, surely none of them would probably have any related stuff to the war and yakshas, but its worth trying. The books were thick and heavy, I don't know if I'm able to finish it tonight, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna fail this. As soon as I was about to close my locker, I felt a light touch on my shoulder, so light, I almost mistook it as a ghost. "WOAH- woah-... wait, what are YOU doing here?" My tone became harsh, its him, its the freak. He was holding some sort of cards that had ink imprints on their backs, what is he trying to do? I'd rather not trust him. Bennett slapped the cards off his hands and kicked him right below the fence of the balcony, he then crouched and grabbed him by the collar whilst his other hand removed the bandages wrapped around his head. The boy whined in response, which made Bennett smile. "Aw... does that hurt?" He teased and kicked his chest once again, right before dropping him to the floor and throwing the bandage on top of him, kicking the cards to his direction as well. "Whatever it is, I don't care." He responded.
"You're in a class position, yet doesn't know how to speak, nor defend yourself." I added right before I walked away, leaving him injured on the floor.
