Chapter 394: Starry Academy Days – II – Season Break
Yue took a deep breath as she seemed down on the crowd of scholars beneath.
It was the auditorium. And proper now it was crammed to the brim with youth. Kids barely over a decade previous. In comparison with the time she had lived, and even to the time her Meggie lived, it was simply an infinitesimal speck. Lower than mud within the wind.
They could not see her, after all. The design of the auditorium was such that there was a floor stage, an open seating association, after which a non-public sales space overlooking all of it.
That sales space was the place Yue at the moment stood, calming herself earlier than the massive second.
Shifting her gaze away from the scholars beneath, she checked out her faint reflection within the one-way window.
A neatly braided pony tail. Thick-framed glasses to present an air of seriousness in addition to try to blunt her pure magnificence.
The operative phrase was ‘try.’
Her beloved husband had stated that it truly simply modified it as a substitute of blunting something, however Yue would take what she may at this level.
There have been her garments, a neatly tailor-made grey go well with and pants, paired with sneakers that her husband referred to as ‘loafers.’
After months of analysis, it was Yue’s secret weapon for her new pet mission. The final word outfit that might guarantee everybody took her significantly.
…Her husband nonetheless did not, however then once more he not often took something significantly as of late.
Apart from his work with Mission MirAIs, however contemplating the Valentine and White Day incidents, that was to be anticipated.
At the moment, there was a knock on the door. Shortly after, a neatly dressed girl with curly black hair and lightweight inexperienced eyes walked in. Trying over at Yue, she stated, “The scholars have all gathered, Headmistress. We could delay a bit longer, or would you want to start?”
Yue glanced on the crowd of scholars yet one more time. And as she did, she noticed some acquainted faces stroll in from the again.
Meggie, her rambunctious daughter, working round with that Tsuki lady whereas being stared at by 4 impertinent brats.
After which, strolling in on the guardian’s facet of the auditorium, John, her beloved husband.
As all the time as of late, he wore his enterprise go well with out in public. Clutching a black binder below his proper arm and sporting a blue tie, he instantly glanced up at Yue and smiled.
Yue blushed after which shortly seemed away. Clearing her throat, she seemed on the girl and stated, “We will start. Since there’s the highschool opening ceremony after this, we should hold a good schedule.”
It would not do to mess up. Not when this was the primary time she needed to present her pricey husband that she may correctly do issues on her personal with out his assist. And particularly when she may present that she wasn’t only a mom who went loopy over her cute, beautiful, and intensely proficient child girls-
“Headmistress?”
Yue blinked after which cleared her throat once more. “Apologies. Please, cleared the path, Miss…”
The girl… What was her identify once more? One thing like ‘Village Air’ on this land’s tongue?
The elevator doorways chimed after which slowly opened. The second they did, a low murmur crammed the air. The sounds of the youngsters and numerous mother and father speaking within the auditorium whereas they waited.
Yue stepped out of the elevator.
She was nonetheless out of sight. The elevator was situated in the back of the stage and out of line of sight from the bottom.
Miss Muraki stepped out behind Yue after which waited by the elevator to supply some ethical assist.
Yue glanced at her one final time after which nodded, slowly making her method in direction of the sting of the curtains concealing again stage. As she did, Yue picked up the fragments of dialog from the youngsters.
“How for much longer are we gonna wait?”
“I am unable to imagine Father despatched me to such a far-off land…”
“I heard that a few of our Senpais may very well be idols!”
“Will this place actually assist us get into good universities…?”
A mixture of inane considerations and infantile marvel.
Surprisingly, Yue did not hear Meggie in any respect. However that will merely be attributable to her daughter being self-conscious about being overheard by each of her mother and father.
However in any case…
Yue stepped out from behind the curtains of the stage and approached the rostrum.
The second she did, a hush fell over the gang.
Seeing that, Yue had to withstand the urge to smile.
A end result of laborious work. Fastidiously gained authority and status from numerous hours negotiation and researching. Numerous extra crafting proposals, curriculum, and textbooks. After which much more trying to find the right candidates for the workers.
All of it resulted within the sight earlier than her. Even kids falling silent at her look.
…Or maybe it was what her pricey husband stated and extra attributable to her bodily look and aura, however she wish to assume in any other case.
In any case…
Yue stepped as much as the microphone on the podium and stated, “College students and workers. Dad and mom and guests from a far.” She placed on a superb smile and stated, “Welcome to Hoshigawa Academy, the place we aid you navigate the starry river of future.”
