“Again…. Another year another batch of students, hopefully they perform better than last year” Ms. O’Brain, the head instructer said out loud to the faculty of the school, she was wearing a light blue blouse and a long, blue skirt, with long Blond hair tied up in a ponytail, and blue eyes, being covered by glasses
“I do not know what you are talking about, last year’s graduates have actually been doing really well in their respected regions as gym leaders, and some are moving into other fields too” Mr. Hewitt retorted, wearing his white suit, and light blue tie, having short, white organized hair despite his age of mid 20s
“Rozen, you haven’t ever taught a day in…” Mr. Wright started, this year changing his suit in for a flame designed shirt with dress pants, him having short, brown hair and brown eyes.
“Sh, don’t make him angry Bjorn” Mr. Patel silenced, still having his blue sports jacket, green undershirt and short blond hair “His company is the school’s biggest financial contributor, plus he is a teacher too you know, you saw his credentials too, besides, he’s only going to be teaching for one year”
“Ya, a year too long” Bjorn retorted
“Come on, he is a head gym leader himself, he is still a practicing gym leader, and you do know that provides with that” Mr. Patel explained
“Hey I was a practicing gym leader!” Mr. Wright argued
“Ya… for two years, you are a great teacher Bjorn, but you have to realize that like it or not, he does have a level of real world experience in the field more than all of us” he reasoned
“Ya…. But why did he decide this year to take part huh? Why not last, why not next?” Wright asked
Patel just gave an unsure shrug as the students boat ported “Come on, relax for now Bjorn”
