Chapter 332 COP (1/2)
”Okay, back to serious business now,” Principal Godric began, clapping his hands three times loudly, his demeanor now all serious.
The students quietened down, paying full attention.
”As you know, our very own Student Council President, Kyle Smith, has become a bit of a minor celebrity with this upcoming John Wick movie.”
Claps filled the Hall. Some teachers, namely Ms Julie and Mr Andrews, weren't quite happy but they maintained a neutral expression. These were the teachers in charge of the Community Outreach Programme that Kyle had started last year but was never around to do the details.
Their impression of him wasn't quite good due to that. Despite the gushing Principal Godric did about Kyle, they were the types that only would judge as per what they saw and they haven't seen much. The idea was from Kyle yet the work was done by Beatrice. While he was gallivanting all over the place making a movie.
”I would like to remind you that while he may be a rising star out there but once he is in this hallowed halls of Sakura Academy, he is a regular student. This is a school of learning, and we are here to learn,” Principal Godric said sternly.
Then, for good measure, he said as his eyes swept the entire hall, ”Kyle even told me ... if his presence here disrupts classes, he will transfer out. Along with his sister. Most likely the other Elite Five will as well.”

There was pin-drop silence at that bombshell.
”You know how much he values school and everyone here. He's not just the Student Council President, but also the Leader of Sage Class. He has done more for this school than anyone can imagine. So, Sakura Academy Students. Are we here to learn, or we here to ogle at Kyle?!”
Silence.
”Okay, fine. You can ogle at him but do it at a distance,” Principal Godric said with a laugh.
The students cheered.
Some of the teachers sighed. Never before have they seen such a Principal. But, he did get the job done. Also, their pay was slightly higher than the normal teacher's pay due to him fighting for their 'specialised status'.
Since each class was catered to specific types of teaching, they had obtained additional certificates of skills, which allowed them to be qualified for the higher pay bracket. For that, they were grateful to him. And the working environment here was very good.
”But seriously, remember what is important,” Principal Godric said, ”School, not disruptive ogling. Be it Kyle, or any other student here at Sakura Academy.”
Amongst the students, Sayuri listened to all of this with a shake of her head.
The way the Principal was talking, it was as if Kyle was such a gem of the school. What? Just because he was good looking? Smart? Well-loved? Hard-working?
However, the more Sayuri went on, the more she realised there were a lot of positive traits of Kyle. She gritted her teeth in annoyance at first then she hit herself (which made the student next to her stare weirdly at her).
Sayuri didn't see this, however, for she was so focused on berating herself to notice anything else. She was scolding herself for doing it again. Letting her prejudice and personal feelings affect a proper judgment of the target.
This was much, much harder than she thought.
Once she got her thoughts back, it was only then she noticed the girl next to her giving her a certain look. Another weakness she has to overcome. She should be on high alert at all times yet the safe environment has made her lax.
Sayuri gave a nervous smile to the glaring girl, saying, ”Sleepy”.
