Chapitre 181: School Activity (2)
* * *
"N-Nice to meet you, Mr. Mo, I'm teacher Francis, Lancel's homeroom teacher," The teacher said as soon as she was a meter away. Even though she was as tall as Daniel, she was slouching down timidly while looking through her large and thick eyeglasses. However, despite how she looked with the way she dressed like an old lady, as per Daniel's judgment, teacher Francis couldn't hide her beauty.
Daniel didn't know for sure since he couldn't smell any pheromones from her but it was safe to say that this teacher might be an Omega.
"Nice to meet you, thank you for taking care of Lan all this time. I also apologize for his absence," Daniel said, extending his hand to shake hers. He came today as Lan's guardian, so he should at least thank her for always looking after all the children in her class.
"Lancel is a very good student. Even though he was absent for a long time, he could still keep up with our lessons, so no need to worry about his grades. He'll definitely top the class rankings effortlessly again this year," Teacher Francis said with a sweet and tender smile as she looked at Lan.
"That's good to hear," Daniel smiled as well.
"Anyway, since you're already here, let me guide you to your seats. The program is about to start. We are just about to call all parents and guardians to the event hall," Teacher Francis informed then, earning a nod from Daniel.
Looking at the four girls that had been following Lan all this time, Teacher Francis sighed helplessly and said, "All of you, go tell your parents to gather at the event hall." The girls slightly complained, wanting to follow Lan and Luangmin more but still did what was asked of them.
Soon, Daniel and the rest walked towards the hall and from the looks of the design of the stage and the students running around in costume, it was easy to tell there will be a play. And since the teacher said that the program was about to start, Lan was asked to go back stage just like the other students who will be performing for the first half of the day.
"Minmin, I'll go somewhere now, okay? You can see me later and when I'm finished, we can play," Lan told Luangmin, knowing that he won't be able to bring him back stage or else his adorable little cousin will be eaten alive by his classmates, seeing how cute the two year old was again today.
"Okway, hurry bwack," Luangmin pouted and said, making Lan smile dotingly. He rubbed Luangmin's hair and soon left along with the other students. April then quickly took over and picked Luangmin back up in her embrace.
"Today is the second grade students' talent day so we're having the students showcase their talents. Lancel was supposed to be the Prince of the play based on the parents and teacher meeting that Mr. Andrews attended, but since he was absent during the practice, we decided to cast another student. However, because Lancel is the only student that doesn't have anything to perform, he volunteered to recite a poem." Teacher Francis narrated. It was her task today to escort Daniel Mo since she was Lan's homeroom teacher.
When she was told about this earlier, she was so nervous because it'll be her first time meeting someone from the Mos. Well except of course, Lancel and his mother Ian Andrews, who just recently came out as a Mo as well.
Daniel Sullen Mo on the other hand has a different reputation, he's the beloved wife of the most powerful man in the country. Even more powerful than the president of the country himself as they say, due to the fact that he supports more than half of the country's economy. Mo Laotian's downfall means the country's downfall and now she was standing next to his wife. She never dreamed of the day she could stand side by side with such a person.
"I was worried because he only had a few days to memorize the poem he chose, but he said he could do it and mentioned Mr. Andrews used to read him that poem," Teacher Francis chatted with a smile as she finally led Daniel and April to their chairs which were at the front.
"Oh really? I hope he'll be fine," Daniel replied while nodding at her as thanks for offering chairs for them.
"I'm sure he will be, he's a smart kid. Anyway, is it okay for me to leave you two here? The program is about to start, I'll just have to make sure all parents and guardians are inside," she replied with a proud smile. As Lan's homeroom teacher, she absolutely feels proud whenever her students achieve something. She likes children and takes pride in her job, she takes her teaching very seriously and she treats each and every student like her own children.
"Yeah sure, thank you so much Teacher Francis," Daniel nodded. After that Teacher Francis left and did what she said exactly.
"Hmmmn, do you think she's an Omega?" April asked, leaning closer to Daniel, making Daniel laugh.
"I think it's best for us not to talk about someone else's second gender," Daniel said. There are a limited number of Omegas in the world, just like Alphas, while the majority of the population are Betas. Although Omegas are now being accepted compared to before, there are still some Omegas that don't accept themselves and prefer not to talk about it. Teacher Francis indeed looked like an Omega but what is that for them?
"Well yeah, just asking. She had such a pretty face but she's hiding that behind her glasses and dress. If I had her face I could think of a lot of things to use it to its full potential," April mentioned with a pout, making Daniel laugh again.
"April, what are you talking about? You are as pretty as she is," Daniel mentioned and couldn't help but pinch his friend's cheeks making her pout.
"Really?" She asked doubtfully while putting her palms on her cheek.
"Yes, silly," Daniel assured, which made April blush. Daniel continued to flatter April until they noticed that the program was about to start. The whole room suddenly turned dark as an emcee appeared in front of the stage.
"Welcome, Students, Teachers, Parents, and Guardians. On behalf of this academy, I would like to thank you all for coming today to witness the talents of our young ones…." The emcee started stealing everyone's attention. She said a lot more before she called the principal up on the stage to say a few things about the event and its purpose. Of course, because Daniel wanted to record everything from start to end, he was already recording when the emcee came out and started speaking.
"I didn't know you brought a tripod as well," April mentioned. She was just listening to the emcee earlier when she noticed Daniel was already setting up his camera and tripod in front of them.
"Yeah, I thought I might need it. This was the thinnest so it isn't heavy and actually very handy," Daniel replied. He bought the camera for the sole purpose of documenting Luangmin's growth, being that the little two years old is a bit late. He wanted to be able to tell if there were some improvements in his growth. The camera really helped him and now it's going to help him record this event as well.
Nodding, April listened to the speech again. Finally, when the principal's speech ended, the first performance quickly started, which was a group of ballet dancers showing their talents. Looking at the performers, they were wearing beautiful fairy dresses that both Daniel and April were familiar with. They saw these familiar dresses on the five little girls following Lan earlier.
"Girls from ballet are the most popular in the classroom. Young Master Lan really inherited his charisma from his father," April mumbled, rolling her eyes a little. It was no secret that Mo Hanlu is a magnet to all genders, like Mo Laotian. But unlike Mo Laotian, who doesn't entertain anyone, Mo Hanlu takes his time picking the best of the best from his crowd of followers.
"Hmmmn, he did. They're so alike and different at the same time," Daniel commented smiling, his attention on the performers on the stage.
"Hmmmn, don't really know what you mean but I totally get it," April replied with a frown but later shrugs. Lancel Andrews Mo was similar to his father in so many ways but at the same time different for various reasons as well. She knew that quite well, knowing the man's other terrifying identity. Thinking about it, all the hair on her body stood up feeling a chill. She secretly wished her future Master wouldn't turn out like his father. Mo Hanlu might be all smiles, but actually he's as dangerous as his older brother, because he literally smiles at someone else's screams of pain like it's music to his ears.
"Are you cold?" Daniel asked worriedly, seeing April shiver and hugging Luangmin tighter.
"Uh? Y-Yeah but I'll be okay, Master Luangmin will help me keep warm," she lied and snuggled closer to Luangmin, who wasn't a bit bothered by her as his attention was on the stage. It was his first time seeing such a performance so he was very curious. Additionally, he's letting April touch him because he was waiting for the ice cream she promised earlier.
As the performance ended, the emcee came back to the stage and said, "A round of applause for our pretty angels who just performed. As you all know, this academy started as a ballet class but later expanded to what we have now thanks to our dear director and principal." Waiting for the crowd to stop clapping, he continued, "But despite that this academy still does its best to cater to its first specialty, just look at the earlier performance" After saying a few things again to describe the next performance for added thrill, the second performers entered the stage, this time a pair of a boy and a girl. The costume they're wearing looked like they'll be dancing samba or tango.
"Ahw, they're so cute…" Daniel whined, squirming on his chair. He quickly imagined Luangmin becoming a dancer and he giggled thinking how cute it would be.
"Minmin, do you want to dance like that older brother and sister?" Daniel asked, holding onto his son's little hands. Unfortunately, when Luangmin heard what his mother just said, his prominent brows frowned. He looked at the little boy and girl dancing in front of him and then back to his mother before he shook his head indicating that he doesn't want to. When Daniel saw it, he was flabbergasted. It wasn't often that his son would straight up tell him no, it caught him off guard.
Waking up from his stunned reaction, Daniel asked his son again. "Y-You don't want to dance?"
"Nope. Minmin don't wanna dwance…" the two year old replied, shaking his head left and right again. Daniel's mouth dropped open but then he smiled, suddenly feeling so proud. There had been a lot of things Luangmin hated but he rarely straight up told him that he didn't want to. Usually when he didn't like anything he would rather show it through his actions than say he didn't want to.
"Okay, if my baby doesn't want to, there are a lot of other things you can learn aside from dancing. Whatever it is, I'll always be the most proud of you," Daniel said sweetly as he leaned toward Luangmin and kissed his cheeks and forehead. Meanwhile, hearing what Daniel had said, April decided to interrupt.
"How about martial arts, you know... Karate, Kung Fu, Taekwondo, Jujitsu. There are so many things he can learn from this and he can get stronger and stronger," April suggested. Mo Laotian was quite good at it, he can teach his son some of his techniques.
"M-Martial arts? No way! I don't want my Minmin learning such brutal skills," Daniel quickly replied. He would never want his son fighting and getting hurt in the process. The boy just learned how to run without falling, he doesn't want his son pushing his own limits.
"I understand but he doesn't have to fight you know. Learning martial arts can help Young Master build his core. He's a bit late, right? Martial arts can help him develop his body to be a healthy young man in the near future. If you're interested, I know someone really good at this," April suggested, shrugging her shoulders.
