They teach students the traditional ways of their forefathers but still keep the value of innovation and change.

                A tall guy with a void black medium length hair, his fringe in covering is right eye while his left eye has a visible sign of lack of sleep, wearing a black winter uniform in mid-November, walking by the hallway, people seems to avoid him.

                “Yeah, better keep a distance from that guy.” Another girl says.

…

                In class 1-3, people are lively chatting with each other, smiling, laughing and other things normal people do. But, one student is different from them. A boy sitting at a window seat, second to the last row where the seat behind him is free, do nothing but to keep himself silent while looking outside the window, watching snowflakes touching the frosted window. As the majority of the students continue with their chattering, a tall, medium sized body built man, carrying a suit case on his right hand and a book squeezed besides his arm and side. When the man reaches the table in front of the class and places his case and book in the table, the students’ stops in what they’re doing and all of them stand up straight.

                “Good morning sensei.” The students say.

                “Good morning class, please sit down.” Their teacher instructed. “Today, we’ll be having a new transfer student here in our class.” The teacher says.

                The majority of the students started to murmur and they all talked about what’s with the new student. Most are asking their selves if it’s a boy or a girl or is he or she cute and so on.

                “Everyone, settle down and keep quiet” Their teacher instructed.

                The students quiet down and anticipated of who is this new student is.

                “Ryoko-san, please come in and introduce yourself.” The teacher waved his hands towards the open door.

                A short girl with long amber red hair tied just about in her shoulder, wearing a high school girl with long socks showing a bit of her snow-white-like legs  enters the room, she writes her name on the board. Then she faces the students in front of her to introduce herself. Before she can say anything, the students started to murmur again and talk about how cute she is. Their teacher slaps his table to get the students attention and listen to the new girl’s introduction.

                “I’m Ryoko Neefa; I’m a bit new to this place so I’m hoping to have good terms with you all.” She said clear and calmly.

                “Ok Ryoko-san, you can take the seat behind Akahono-san.”  The teacher pointed at the free window seat behind the silent boy.

                “Thank you, sensei.” Neefa said agreeing.

                As Neefa took her seat behind the tall boy, she noticed that she can’t really see the front. The boy looked behind him and nods to himself and look at their teacher who started to browse his book apparently to start the morning class.
