Kapitel 31: 31 School

"Line up in three rows, regardless of gender, and arrange yourselves by height, with the shorter ones in front and the taller ones in the back." Roger barked orders at a group of kids who were in complete disarray.

Upon hearing Roger's shout, some of the older children who apprenticed at the factory immediately started to form lines, while those who came from civilian homes nearby were still a bit chaotic.

However, as some children began to line up, driven by curiosity, others too followed and stood in three rows.

The few girls, who were in the minority, were quite shy and didn't speak, only standing there with bowed heads among the crowd, getting pushed around by the boys passing by, looking very much like little oppressed creatures.
