2 days later...

Something tells me that today's not my day today... First of all, I have a headache and I can't explain why. Secondly, this classroom is noisy right now.

"Can you help me review?! I was busy with chores all day!"

"I'm gonna fail if I don't at least read!"

"Oh no... I lost my reviewer!"

"WAAAAAAAAHHH!! WE'RE DOOMED!!"

This headache started when I woke up today, and now it's getting worse with people who didn't review. YOU'RE IN THE TOP SECTION FOR FUCK'S SAKE! IF YOU WANT TO STAY HERE, FUCKING ACT LIKE IT!

"Can you all sit down right now?! I'm not in a great mood right now!" I shouted to them, and they all went silent.

"We're sorry, Mr. Alrose. Being in the top section is so stressful... And to top it all off, we all have our housework. It's tough." They have the same situation as Syrra, except they can just literally say that they're doing something for SCHOOL.

"I don't mind doing housework and whatnot... But you need to set your priorities. Do everything you need to do first before you proceed to do anything else!" LIKE IT CAN'T BE THAT FUCKING HARD!

They all went silent, looking down. They probably got sad at what I said. I groaned in misery, literally feeling the headache.

"I'm sorry, I'm just not in that mood today... I have a suggestion. Why don't you all partner up, in twos, three, or fives, and start reviewing altogether? That usually does the trick. I may have teaching experience, but studying comes from all of you. If you don't act responsible, you won't be going anywhere." And at that moment, everyone nodded and followed my suggestion.

They all grouped themselves and started reviewing together. It was still noisy, but I can tolerate it this time. There are still a few minutes before class starts, so I thought I should sleep since I reviewed everything a few days back.

But I felt a tap on my back and noticed Jessie.

"What brings you here, partner..." And before anything else, I got pulled out the door and was dragged to the stairway where Syrra also stood, and...

Fey?!

Why is she here?

"Your Japanese is so good!" Syrra complimented her.

"Arigato! (Thanks!) Wish I could teach you..." Fey said before finally noticing me. She went closer to me.

"Fey? What brings you over here? I thought you had classes today." It's odd how she is here.

"I just needed to tell you something quick before actually heading to school. I have something important to tell you." Something important to tell me.

As she did so, she pulled out an article. It's about their school.

"Class Monitor Suddenly Went Missing: Last Witness Account Said He Wasn't Alone

It was reported yesterday nighttime around 7:00 pm that 17 year old Robert Douglas, the Class Monitor of D-1, was missing. The parents were worried about him but his phone wasn't picking up. Several witnesses were questioned. Among those accounts, only one was able to reveal that he was with someone though they were initially unsure if it was him. Though she was unrecognizable as they couldn't notice all of her features. She was wearing a black shirt and gray pants. We are still looking for the suspect."
