Yuliang looked over 13 pale-faced students with a heavy gaze.

"I don't ask a lot from you," Yuliang stated when the silence in the room dragged to the point of discomfort.

"Only for your attention, your best effort and for you to complete your assigned tasks. I'm a provisional instructor here at this university. Whether or not I'm in the classroom, makes no difference in the expectation this university has of you as students." Yuliang stuffed his hands into the pockets of his sweats and leaned against the edge of his desk.

He spoke slowly, making sure to consider his words briefly before speaking so that he didn't end up swearing without intending to.

"Only four of you seem to actually remember that graduation is only guaranteed for students that pass every unit. Failing even one will result in your expulsion. Every single assignment is an opportunity for you to score under a setting of your control. Examinations will be much harder to score in from what I've heard." Yuliang shrugged, "Skipping assignments seems like a stupid thing to do when you think of it like that, yeah?" He pushed away from the desk and walked back to take his seat. "Lilou, Lachlan, Elys and Bodhi, come up to grab your papers before the end of class."
