first day in ninja school

After having breakfast with my father, who was strangely quiet today, I left home and headed to school.

The weather was quite hot today, even though it was early in the morning. After walking a few kilometers under this heat, I could see the school I was going to from afar.

Strangely, there were no students in the school garden or around the school. I told myself that I left home too early and walked slowly towards school.

When I entered the school gate, I heard the teachers' voices coming from some classrooms and then I realized that I was not actually early, on the contrary, I was late.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a wristwatch on my wrist. When I was reborn into this world, I promised that I would never stress myself again, so I never wore a wristwatch or even looked at the clock at home whenever possible.

This new habit has not caused me any harm so far. I was actually a little sad because I was late for school on the first day.

As far as I remember, the first days in ninja schools started with an iconic self-introduction process. I wanted to be there to make fun of Kakashi when he came up to the board and introduced himself with a blank face and said he wanted to be a strong ninja like his father in the future.

While I was lost in thought, I had already arrived at the door of my own classroom. After a brief hesitation, I knocked on the door and walked in, thinking "What's the most that could happen?"

The first thing I saw in the classroom was a male teacher in his mid-30s who was pointing at a bunch of writings on the board and yelling at the class.

After the teacher saw me, he stopped for a moment and looked surprised. After a few seconds he woke up from his daze and started scolding me.

"Your name was Eren, wasn't it? I wonder if this boy hadn't joined my class. Where have you been until this hour?"

No matter how angry the teacher got, I was sure that he couldn't do anything to me because of my father's identity, so I didn't bother with his scoldings too much.

"I don't use a watch"

The teacher looked at me a lot to see if I was serious, but I didn't compromise at all.

"Anyway, since today is the first day of school, I will ignore you. From now on, use a watch and come to class on time."

"Yes sir"

There was no benefit in clashing with the teacher, and I wanted to learn a lot about ninja techniques.

I went back to the classroom and looked to see if there was a place I could sit. First, when I looked at the window edges, I saw that every place was occupied. Then, I looked at the wall edge and found an empty place there.

The place I decided to sit was definitely, and by absolute coincidence, next to the girl I was planning to get close to during the ninja school entrance exams.

When I sat in the empty seat next to Yuhi, there was a surprised expression on Yuhi's face, of course it wasn't too hard to guess the reason. She probably thought I was angry at her because of what happened at the entrance exam.

Of course, I'm actually a little angry, but you know, revenge for a man is like a meal served cold. To take revenge on Yuhi, I could have waited for her to become an adult first

Meanwhile, Yuhi looked at me with disgust at whatever she saw in my expression and moved her little body a little bit away from me.

To be honest, the only thing that interests me about the little girl next to me is watching her get upset and angry. The person I was really interested in was the mature older sister type of person she had become by the time the main story started.

I saw that the teacher was continuing to explain the subject of the lesson passionately and I listened too, but the things he was talking about were not things that interested me, he was mostly talking about our future lesson program and the training we had to do.

While the teacher was continuing to explain, his eyes suddenly fell on the clock hanging at the back of the classroom and he immediately stopped talking.

"Eren, come to me"

I was confused as to why the teacher suddenly called me, so I went to him without hesitation.

"When we first started the lesson in the morning, everyone stood up and introduced themselves, but you were not there at that time. Since unity and solidarity are very important among ninjas, I decided to spare the last 10 minutes of my lesson as an introduction time for you and the class."

The teacher started reading the students' names one by one from the list in her hand.

The student whose name was read stood up and introduced himself briefly. Within a few minutes I learned the names of everyone in the class.

Finally, it was my turn and I introduced myself as the teacher said.

"My name is shimura Eren and I am 7 years old"

"The things I like are sherbet or milk desserts, the things I don't like are people who act planned and my sleep being interrupted."

"My dream is to be a person that no one can give orders to me in the future and sleep 16 hours a day."

After I finished my speech, I saw that the whole class and even the teacher were watching me without making a sound.

While I was thinking what was wrong with these guys, someone from the back of the class started laughing, the laughter quickly spread to the whole class and everyone started laughing.

The only ones in the entire class who weren't laughing were the teacher and Kakashi. While the sounds of laughter continued for an unnervingly long time, after a while I began to make mental notes of people laughing.

The teacher probably guessed what I was thinking as she carefully looked at the students one by one, and she interrupted everyone's laughter by putting her hand on my shoulder and then yelling at the whole class.

The sound of the bell ringing reached our ears at this exact moment.
