A Quirky Welcome

"Settle down in your respective seats. Over there." 

The Instructor pointed Rey and Lucielle in the direction of their seats, to which they nodded and obediently walked towards. 

Since the chairs and desks were arranged in five rows and four columns, there was sufficient space for Rey and Lucielle in the fourth and fifth column. Per the instruction of the Instructor, though, they ended up seated right beside each other.

It was a very convenient arrangement, and Rey found both himself and his partner sighing in relief as they ventured to their seats.

Once they settled in their respective chairs, the three-horned man proceeded to speak.

"Welcome to Class 1-A, which I already assume you've already been briefed about in your Orientation. We're the best among Stage 1 Students, which is why both the number of available seats and students here are the smallest."

Indeed, Rey and Lucielle already knew all of this.
