Serious?

It wasn't long before a few other small figures rushed toward Dyon happily. The only one who didn't seem excited was Junior, but that was only to be expected. Dyon had always hated school. It was to the point where he only tried hard so that he could finish it faster than everyone else, which was why he had no other friends aside from Clara. He felt it was inevitable that Junior would also hate school. 

Though Dyon was basically ignoring the commotion around him, happily inquiring about the adventures of the little boys and girls under his charge, this didn't mean that there was no commotion at all.
