“Is this your first time teaching children, Miss Natolie?”

“Yes, sir. I’m nervous.”

I spent the night in the teachers’ dorm and headed to the classroom come morning. Mr. Bordon keeps talking to me on the way, seeming intent on helping me relax. These hallways are so long you get tired just from walking, which also gives him plenty of time to burn through a lot of conversational material.

Our cover story goes like this: we’re five students of the royal teaching school who have come for our internship with the principal’s approval. The principal came up with all the fine details himself, and he’s also the one who came up with our aliases. Impressive, considering he did it all overnight. He was trembling with excitement when he told us about it in the morning—perhaps he’s the sort of guy who loves this cloak and dagger business.

“Oho ho ho, I am.”

...Is what he was clearly thinking inside his mind, but instead, he simply said “I am” with a gentle expression. Truly, he’s a mystery wrapped in an enigma (I’d wager good money he’s an elderly fairy in human guise).

My alias is Natolie Proserpina. Nikeh’s is Yuno Ortega. The prince became Jupiter Torseter. Satanás is now Perseus Gallo, and Benjamine goes by Andromeda Boyes. The principal even went so far as to come up with our hometowns and academic history. All this makes me slightly suspicious of him having done this kind of fabrication before, and on more than one occasion, without batting an eye.

“’Tis not something I do on a regular basis,” he’d said with a smile, apparently sensing my doubts about him.

I decide to set aside these inappropriate thoughts.

Parting with my friends was disheartening and put me on the verge of tears, but visiting a place that used to be so familiar has a way of quickly releasing your tension.

Mr. Bordon’s class is the one I am in. Rockmann is there too, of course. And the old Satanás and Maris. If nothing’s changed yet, Treyse should be in an adjacent class, the one headed by Mr. Bevrio.

“My class has many noble children, so it might be difficult for you to handle them, but remember: we are the mentors here on school grounds. Act confident.”

“Yes, sir!”

Mr. Bordon has the level of composure required of someone entrusted with our class. He has always brought us a sense of security.

“There are also only two commoners in my class, so you have to be careful to maintain the mood. Some will no doubt act high-handed, and I imagine giving them a good scolding would only make things worse. Let us treat the nobles and the commoners equally and lead by example, showing that one isn’t superior to the other.”

“...Thank you kindly.”

“Hm? What are you thanking me for?”

“Nothing, never mind! You’re right, let’s do that.”

So that was his way of thinking... I find myself deeply touched by his words.

“I keep wondering why the principal decided on such imbalanced groups of students. I am told he only made the decision yesterday.
