CHAPTER 365: CHAPTER 204: THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL IS THE DAY WHEN THE POPULARITY COMPETITION ERUPTS!

Opening day.

Saint Karno School was abnormally lively, and even set off fireworks during the day. Two loud bangs echoed now and then in the sky, followed by a cloud of white mist.

Many welcome-back banners were strung along both sides of the school path, flowers were placed everywhere, and there were countless stalls selling various small goods.

Shami was witnessing this kind of scene for the first time. She picked up the pet box at her feet and slowly walked toward the school gate.

Behind her, a group of maidens were also holding their enrollment certificates, arriving at Saint Karno School.

"I say, Shami doesn’t need to walk so fast now, does she? Trying to ditch us or what?"

"Indeed, if you start the school year walking beside four beautiful maidens, you’ll definitely become the number-one enemy of the freshmen and the old students alike."

"I don’t mind being misunderstood really... After all, only the strongest students deserve the school idols inside..."

"Ultimately, this reflects a lack of internal maturity. Shami is still far from becoming the king of the freshmen, so for now, aim to be the king of delinquents."

"Why did you suddenly set such a weird goal for me! The more you talk, the more skewed it’s getting!"

Shami turned around to look at the four maidens dressed in Saint Karno School uniforms.

The upper body was a predominantly blue-purple uniform jacket paired with a vest and white shirt, the lower body was a star-purple knee-length skirt with free choice of black and white long socks, and black female round-toe leather shoes.

These excellent campus uniforms worn by the four maidens perfectly demonstrated what is called Outerworld beautiful maiden JK.

"Because I’m going to the faculty office, not to the classroom."

Shami sighed slightly, explaining.

The four maidens took a look at the freshmen’s enrollment guide in their hands.

"It seems we’re not all in the same class, huh."

"Which academy are you all in?"

Magical Girl: "Magic Academy."

White-haired Maiden: "Swordsman Academy."

Dragon Race Maiden: "Wis, Wisdom Academy?"

Elf Maiden: "Gryffindor."

"What is Gryffindor? Does this academy really exist?"

"It really does."

The Elf Maiden pointed at her academy, quite proud.

"It’s a special academy, Shami wouldn’t know, it’s quite normal."

"Which class is Shami in?"

"I told you, I’m a teacher!"

"Catch you later."

The five parted ways at the school gate.

The four maidens went to find their respective academies.

Shami, on the other hand, went to the specialty teacher’s office at Saint Karno School.

Saint Karno School is practically considered a comprehensive university, with different academies divided within it.

Among these, specialty teachers are not assigned to any specific academy.

Specialty teacher courses are for all school students, similar to interest-based public courses, with a dedicated specialty teacher’s office located near the public teaching building.

When Shami arrived at the office, she encountered Rooney.

The two had already interacted several times before; Shami had visited the school a few times before the start to familiarize herself with the environment and undergo training.

"Mr. Edogawa, is this the Slime you raised?"

Rooney squatted down in front of Shami, peering through the pet box’s transparent glass to see the Slime inside.

"Luster full, body plump, eyes lively, Mr. Edogawa raised it well!"

Rooney hadn’t seen a Slime in a long time. The ones encountered in the wild usually had a fierce expression and required elimination.

Now, seeing this friendly-eyed Slime, Rooney was thrilled.

Shami chuckled.

"Ah, the title of Slime Breeding Master isn’t for nothing."

Rooney stood up, leading Shami to an office and providing a class schedule and handbook.

"The detailed training was conducted earlier; this is your teaching schedule. The first week of school will be relatively relaxed; classes will gradually increase afterwards. Familiarize yourself with your office. There are still quite a few induction tasks to settle. If you have any questions, just find me. I have to go organize the freshman opening ceremony soon."

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Rooney."

Shami accepted the handbook and schedule.

Rooney turned and left.

Shami opened the office door and stepped inside her office.

It’s undeniable, the treatment for teachers at Saint Karno School is quite decent. Every teacher gets an independent office, although not large, only around 15 square meters, it’s sufficient for working.

Shami flipped the sign hanging on the door to read "Busy at Work, Please Knock if Needed", then closed the office door.

Surveying the office environment, checking for possible eavesdropping crystals, while glancing at her pet box.

"Sorry, it’s quite stuffy inside the pet box, right."

Shami let Jelly out.

The space within the pet box is not large, and Slime by nature is lively. Staying inside for extended periods can lead to feelings of oppression, causing unhappy emotions, which are not beneficial for experience growth.

Jelly jumped out of the pet box and sat on the office chair.

"You cheeky fellow, understand who’s the teacher here! I let you out to rest, not to replace me, damn it!"

Shami tossed Jelly aside, sat on the office chair, and glanced at her teaching schedule.

The first week had practically no classes, but required sorting through quite a bit of induction material.

Shami began organizing her office.

Before long, lively noises echoed throughout the campus.

Shami walked out, the fifth-floor corridor just happened to overlook the central plaza of the school where the opening ceremony was taking place.
