48 Gerhardts introduciton (1/2)

After all of the gift bags had been opened the students seemed much more comfortable talking to each other.

”Alright everyone, I have another surprise now so I'll go get it,” Ensen said.

”Oh is it the cake?” Warren asked in curiosity.

'I said it was a surprise! Well only two of them haven't seen the cake though.' Ensen thought in defeat.

”That's right, I just need to get it from a fridge so I'll be right back.” He said in a defeated tone.

Slowly walking towards the teacher's lounge, Ensen hummed softly in happiness as he opened the door.

As Ensen walked in, he noticed a tear in space in the center of the room.

'Oh, look's like Gerhardt is here. I can't wait for the students to meet him. I just hope they won't want to dye their hair purple like his hair is.' Ensen thought in excitement.

Walking up a little closer towards the crack in space, Ensen stopped a few feet away and watched as Gerhardt began to gradually appear.

A few moments later as he began to regain control of his body, he began to open his eyes.

Unlike when they first met, Gerhardt was wearing a casual outfit although it would still be considered formal by the standards of this world.

He wore a clean white wool shirt with what seemed similar to a black blazer overtop. While the clothing itself was not too peculiar, there was an odd vibe around it that gave off an indescribable aura.

Clueless as to what the reason of the aura would be, Ensen purged the thought from his mind for the moment. After all, his students were waiting for the cake and you don't mess with cake.

As he slowly opened his eyes, he was taken aback for a moment at Ensen already being there to welcome him.

”Greetings Sir. I'm sorry I'm a little late, there were some matters I had to attend to.” Gerhardt said in his usual elegant vocabulary.

”No it's fine, it would be a great time to introduce you now. Also please call me by my last name or just principal from now on so the students don't feel something is wrong.” Ensen said after considering for a moment.

”I understand, principal,” Gerhardt said calmly.

Waiting for a second, Ensen began speaking as he was walking to the nearby fridge ”Alright we should go now. Let me just grab the cake.”

”Cake? Excuse me but I do not know what this cake you speak of is.” Gerhardt said.

”Oh really? It's… hard to explain if you don't know the concept I guess. Well, we will have some soon so you'll understand.” Ensen said, unsure how to properly explain it.

After a word of understanding, Gerhardt stood in place with his back straight and his arms neatly by his side.

'Wow that is amazing posture, I am jealous.' Ensen thought to himself.

After grabbing the cake they began to make their way to the cafeteria.

Once they entered the cafeteria Ensen noticed that his students were all talking to each other to pass the time. Except for Anabella of course, but she was listening so Ensen took that as a win.

As the students realized that their principal had returned, they realized that there was somebody strange following behind him.

Although the students knew that they shouldn't judge people on their appearance, he was simply too odd for them not to have a reaction.

After all, a man who looked around 60 years old with bright purple hair was not something that was seen every day, at least for the students.

There was also a generally mysterious vibe that they could feel even from nearly halfway across the room.

As they saw the man approaching them, the conversations slowly fell silent.

After a moment, Ensen stood in front of them and used his hand to gesture towards Gerhardt, although it was completely unnecessary as everybody was staring at him.

”This will be your English teacher, he just arrived from a long trip so please be easy on him. Would you like to introduce yourself, Gerhardt?” Ensen asked after a moment of thought.

”Very well. Greeting everybody, it is nice to meet you. My name is Gerhardt and I will be your English teacher from now on. If you ever need help don't hesitate to ask for help.” Gerhardt said.

As all of the students lightly clapped, Warren couldn't hold himself back anybody and loudly said ”I love your hair, it's so cool! I wanna dye mine now.”
