Volume 1 - Chapter 13: First day at Beacon Academy (4)
——————————————————————————————
Sora and his team left the classroom as they went toward their next class with Bartholomew Oobleck. He is teaching them the history of Remnant.
This time they have about five minutes of a break before going to the next class. Sora hope it won't be as bad with his first class.
He didn't want to hear bragging all day... He would find out as they he and his team arrived in their next classroom.
They were already many people inside. Sora and his team didn't think too much and took a seat near the entrance. Class would start soon, so they talked a little before hearing the footsteps coming.
The students near the door naturally turned their head toward the door. They were curious about their history teacher.
The door opened as a man entered the door. The rest of the students turned their attention toward the door. They saw their new professor, Bartholomew Oobleck.
Oobleck is a man with messy green hair and brown eyes. His attire is disheveled: his white shirt partially tucked into his dark-green pants and its collar raised, showing a slack yellow tie, along with mismatched brown and black shoes. He also has round glasses that appear to be opaque.
He came inside the classroom with a BIG thermos in his hand, probably filled with coffee. His other hand was occupied with a lot of papers. Oobleck walked fast toward his desk as he put his belonging on the table.
He uncapped his thermos as he drank it. Sora involuntarily sniffed as he recognized the smell of coffee. Oobleck closed his drink back and took his paper from the desk.
He looked at everyone is his class as he nodded in contentment. He cleared his throat as he started by a small introduction.
"Hello everyone, I'm your history teach at Beacon Academy."
"My name is Bartholomew Oobleck, DOCTOR Bartholomew Oobleck and not Teacher." said Oobleck as he emphasized on the doctor title.
"Now as the first class of the semester, we will start with the first chapter of our subject but before that I would like to show you the planning for this semester." said the professor as he took his scroll out.
Every student could see him tapping something on his scroll as everyone waited for his next instruction. Oobleck finished his doing on his scroll as he raised his head as he looked at Sora's face.
"Yes, this student over here, please state your name and turn off the light switch behind you, thank you." said Oobleck as he pointed at Sora.
Sora stood up from his seat as everyone looked at him. Sora sighed as he followed his teacher's order.
"Yes doctor Oobleck, my name is Sora Light," said Sora as he went toward the light switch after his small introduction. Oobleck nodded his head in appreciation, because Sora addressed him with his doctor title.
"Thank you very much, student Sora. You can go back to your seat." said Oobleck as he returned his attention to his scroll. Sora nodded in acknowledgement as he returned to his seat.
His team's thumbs welcomed him up. He would not lie, but he got a little ticked off by this thumbs up. Sora ignored them as he gave his attention to his teacher in the front.
Sora saw his teacher struggling with something as he gave a multiple exclamation in his doing. He didn't have to wait too long as Oobleck did the thing he wanted if he had to guess with his satisfied expression.
Oobleck turned his back toward the whiteboard behind him as the nearby projector turn on. Everyone could see his scroll screen. He opened the "Dustpoint" app as Oobleck opened a document named "Class planning".
"Now students, please pay your attention behind me as I explain our work for this semester. I will talk about my expectation for everyone in this class and all the evaluations."
"First, I expect everyone to leave this class with more knowledge of our Remnant history....."
"I will evaluate this class with an exam at this mid semester and finals so I will, probably...."
"I would love if you guys..."
"By the end of it, if you want to continue this course...."
"Let's not forget about the homework for this semester, I'm expecting....."
"I would like to see participation in this class because it would...."
"Please look at your scroll after class. I send everyone important documents for next class....." said Oobleck as he ranted and talked for the next hours without stopping at all. Sora was completely zoned out from his long speech.
How could someone talk for this long without a break in unbelievable.... and talk so fast!!! He couldn't believe it. Sora knows what to expect from this teacher from now on.
Good guy, are you not troubled if we students can't keep up with you??? Sora small rant stopped as doctor Oobleck finally stopped talking as he drank his coffee.
"We have about 30 minutes before class end and I would like to finish the first chapter with everyone."
"Please remember to take notes as some material would appear in the first evaluation." said Oobleck as he changed document in his Dustpoint. Every student panicked as they hurriedly took out their notebook with a pencil, ready to take notes.
No way, if they couldn't keep up with his fast speech with his presentation, how would they do in this part? Everyone prayed in their heart for their own success.
Their moment of tranquility didn't last long, as it got shattered by Oobleck's voice.
"I hope you guys are ready because of our short time together. I would go a little faster than this morning," said Oobleck as his word numbed everyone's scalp.
???
It completely shattered everyone's fighting spirit. Sora could hear a lot of students face meeting their desk in despair. He could even hear Dean Copperfield's tragic cry next to him.
"NOO, EDEN WAKE UP DON'T YOU DARE SURRENDER." cried Dean as he shook his teammate's body.
"I-I-I can't boss, he is too strong for me...." said Eden as he remained dead on his desk in despair.
"NOOOOOO!" cried Dean as he struck his desk in unwillingness.
"He was so young." said Edward as he shed a tear. Zak turned his head away from this scene as his whole body trembled.
Team DEEZ was not the only one with this situation in the classroom. Many, many students tried to cope with this nightmare.
"Ha! Ah! found it. Now let's start this semester with Chapter 1: The beginning." said Oobleck as he completely ignored the situation of his 'dead students.
Good guy, you said you would go faster even in this situation? I, Sora, would like to call you number one.
——————————————————————————————
"And this is the end of this chapter, everyone see you tomorrow." said doctor Oobleck as he took his belonging with him and left the classroom.
He left his class with his students completely dead and haggard on their desk. What a pro, not even looking back at his deeds.

His leave directly detonated the classroom as Eden Silver from team DEEZ directly stood up from his seat with his stuff and ran toward the exit with tears running down his face.
"I'm sorry boss, everyone I failed you." said Eden as he left those last words for his teammates. His words completely stunned team Deez and Dean took the lead as he stood up from his seat in panic.
"NO! Calm down, EDEN!, boys AFTER HIM!" shouted Dean as ran after Eden. His two teammates stood up in panic.
"YES BOSS" said Zak and Edward as they took their stuff and ran after them.
Sora massaged his forehead in annoyance. He couldn't help but think of team DEEZ as the comic relief team after this scene. Sora barely followed Oobleck's teaching. Sora was curious about his team performance as he turned his head toward them.
Sora scratched his chin in wonder. Jean was fine, as he expected. She is someone who would take discipline very seriously. Tifa was holding her forehead in pain as she took half of the note of today's class. Atalanta... let's not talk about her right now. Doctor Oobleck completely knocked her out.
Sora clapped his hand as he attracted his team's attention, except for Atalanta. They gave him a puzzled looks.
"It's lunchtime, everyone. Let's not waste time anymore." said Sora as the girl's expression brighten up a little from this ordeal.
"Food." exclaimed the now alive Atalanta as she stood up from her seat. Sora, Jean, and Tifa chuckled at her.
They stood up from their seats as they left the classroom to the cafeteria. They needed a break from this minor episode.
