Peter was smiling widely while putting his hand on his back. If a stranger looked at him, they would thought that this man was very friendly. However, for the student here, it was nightmare. Despite only attacking once, it give the student sense of fear.
What they fear most was not the power but the officer's personality. At one time, he was smiling so friendly, but suddenly it could change 180 degree and he became brutal. After that he smiling friendly again as if what he had done was nothing big.
This unpredictable personality was what made the student scared because they could not predicted this officer at all. Moreover, they could not defended themselves and fight back because of the difference in power.
"Now... " Peter said while smiling. He still wore a friendly expression with his hand on his back. However, when the student hear what he said they felt like a disaster gonna come to them. Some student even had their leg trembling.
For Auron, although he was shocked by the brutality and the unpredictable personality of the officer, he could still composed himself. After all, he had 10 years experience as a top ranked player in all of Gaia. He already when to the war zone many times before.
"Now, can you guys line up properly?" Peter sounded very friendly like a kindergarten teacher telling his student.
The student who heard this felt shiver on their body. Many thought appeared on their mind.
"Is this officer crazy?"
"Is this officer has a split personality?"
"Will he get angry again?"
"Is this just an act and he is testing us?"
...
However, none of the student brave enough to voiced out what was on their mind. They hurriedly line up in front of the officer. Some even fell down because he was so nervous, but he quickly stood up ignoring the pain and quickly went to the line. The student who was attacked also quickly stood up with difficulties. Although, he was not coughing anymore, but he still held his stomach with his hand in a pained expression. He quickly joined the line.
Auron also quickly joined the group without saying anything. His calm composure also shown in his face. No trembling. No fear. Only calm face, he stood up and stared to the front of him like there was nothing that could disrupted his gaze.
"Ho..." Peter sensed the difference in the student in front of him. He also spotted Auron and a little bit shocked by Auron's attitude.
It only took 3 minutes for all the student to line up. When all the student already lined up, Peter raised his finger and pointed into the group. Seeing this action, a sense of fear came to all of the student once again. The trembling student trembled more even in the brink of collapse. All the student looked at the pointed finger.
Some of the student relieved because the finger was not pointed to them. All of the student quickly traced the finger and trying to find out the student who was in trouble this time. The finger pointed at the back of the line. All of the student saw a handsome student with ragged clothes, such a contrast between the student's face and the clothes he was wearing.
The finger was pointing at Auron. When the student found out that Auron was the one who was pointed at, they felt pity on him. However, what followed after that shocked them.
"From now on, you are the class' captain. You will be in charge of this class." Peter said.
Auron was also shocked by the news. However, before he could say anything, Peter continued, "Now, this place would be your place to study. Also you have heard before that your learning session would be on tight schedule. Let me tell you something. You can forget about your home or comfortable bed because for almost 24/7 you would be in this place or other place in the main building. So, let us begin our first lesson."
"Your first lesson was to clean and fix this place. 25 of you would clean every corner of this place and also fix the hole in the rooftop."
"You have to clean and fix this place before dinner. At dinner time, I will come back to check everything."
"You cannot find any help from outsider. And for lunch, just think it among you guys." Peter explained.
After stating that, he walked to the door with a following gaze from the student who was very scared to move. When Peter arrived at the door he turned his head and said "Oh yeah, if you guys not finished by the dinner's time, I would be very happy to help you guys." Peter said it with a very wide smile and continued went outside.
However, when the student heard it, they shuddered. All of them only thought one thing, "If they are not finished by dinner's time, they would be dead." When Peter had left them and went downstairs, suddenly many of them felt weak on their knees and they slumped down to the ground. They could not think about the dirty and disgusting floor as they felt very weak and they even didn't have the strength to stand up again.
"Ehm..." Auron tried to break the tense atmosphere. All of the student looked at Auron.
"My name was Smiling Wizard. I know you guys are in a tense mood right now. But, we had only little time to clean this big place."
"How about we rest first around 10 minutes. In the meantime, let us introduce ourselves. So, we could know each other better." Auron suggested.
After they went through all the incident before, they felt scared. Moreover, this guy was the class' captain that Peter had chose. However, from the look, it looked like this guy was friendly and it was not an act like their officer. They gradually felt relaxed and calm. All of them nodded and they started to introduce themselves one by one.
