16 Mundanely Extravagan (2/2)
”Next!” Ms. Ludenburgh signaled the continuation. A female classmate which could be classified as a ”Lolita” under the rules of an animated world then showed herself, she then inhaled thrice the normal and vociferously shouted, with rather a shy yet trying expression...
”H-HI E-EVERYONE! I... I am Charlotte Shirehart, from Britain. I may be shy b-but I hope to get along with everybody... Ha...hajimemashte! ”
Hajimemashte? Oh right, she wants to narrow down the cultural differences, but I think that was rather too superfluous to boot as everybody here came gnashing the last of their brain cells just to be fluent with the international lexicon. Still, I think that would do the trick (if I were to compare it with myself that is, who have no idea or whatsoever how to introduce myself properly without achieving some mishaps).
Ms. Loli... Ms. Shirehart I mean, sat down on her seat looking all flushed by the intense outmaneuvering of self-reserves. The class even gave her acceptable applause and you can even hear boys, 2 or three seats away from her talking all ”She's cute” and as well as Asian girls whispering ”Kawaii”, which also translates to ”cute” in English, fortunately.
”Care to introduce yourself mister?” the teacher continued. The next-in-line Asian stood up with this proud and muscular appearance, with chest out and eyes looking directly at the whiteboard.
”Daerenji Nakamura, you can call me 'Renji' for short. I am from Kyoto Japan and was the former National President of the country's Supreme Student Councils”
Oh. We got ourselves another excellency, a leader at that! If I were to guess, he will be this class' representative and its rather fortunate to have someone like him around, especially during school events. I made up my mind, I'm gonna give him my privilege of becoming ruler over this class. No wait, Celes could probably be a better candidate.
As thoughts came flying to me like that, I could hear the rapid movement of a pen over some rough paper surface at my right side. It's Celeswriting down notes, more aggressively.
I took several glimpses of her, while the future class representative is still introducing himself without a taint of mediocrity and with lengthy speeches that I considered unessential balderdash. Celes was writing faster, writing down everything that the Renji guy had been spouting so far. I guess she even wrote even the most insignificant ones. It probably is because this guy is the most appealing to be in her academic tier. A clear chance for a class rival.
And again, by Celes accepting a class office, I proved myself wrong. Someone as dully competitive as she is would probably have no interest or whatsoever on joining any school clubs or holding any class office. A consecutive honor student would be usually reading books and studying at all times, and they would rather utilize their time for some personal gain rather than for a certain population. In a more ergonomic phrase, grade-sensitive students will try their hardest to make their school lives as gray as it can be rather than rose-tainted. I can understand the logic at least cause I had been there... and I did not like the incineration.
”As for my favorite quote sensei. It's ”Leadership is not a title, but action and an example.” Mr. representative at long last ended of what was supposed to be a normal introduction, spiced to become more like the principal's despised speech on the entrance ceremony.
”Arigathanks for that none-passive introduction Renji-Kun. Well, class, you got yourself a possible class representative!” Ms. Ludenburgh said with a little annoyed expression escaping from her young stiffened face, probably because of the time consumed within that one introduction. The class then started to cheer for the Renji guy as he slowly got back in his seat, with this leadership aura.
”Whoooo! Mr. President, it is”
”We're counting on you!”
