43. Competitive top students

The next morning, September 2nd.

Inside Classroom 1 of the first-year high school students.

Four main subject teachers stood on the platform, taking turns introducing themselves to the forty new students below.

The freshmen were all very quiet, listening attentively the whole time.

It wasn't because they were particularly meek by nature, but rather because these students were still not very familiar with each other and interacted somewhat cautiously, unsure of what to talk about.

"Alright, students, the four of us on the stage have finished our introductions, and now it's your turn to come up and introduce yourselves so everyone can get to know each other," the homeroom teacher said, looking towards the girl sitting in the front row on the left with a smile, "Let's start with this young lady, and then we'll go row by row in order."
