So far, it's been about an hour or so since the Zhongguo students started the entrance exams. Katyasha was filling out some paper work when she looked at her wrist watch. The analog clock showed it as 10:53 A.M.; an hour and 53 minutes had passed. The Ukrainian nurse then looked up from her wrist, checking on how the Asians were. What she saw, shocked her; they were all doing their own things and not taking the exam!
Two of the Asians (Yao and Hong) were asleep with their heads on their desk, their arms as pillows. Another one (Yong Soo) was trying to balance his pencil on his nose with what seemed like his twin (Hyung Soo) glaring at him. Next was another boy (Kiku) teaching two others (Binh and Jun) how to make origami elephants; the older one with glasses made it successfully, while the younger one with glasses was struggling. Finally, the two girls in the group seemed to be playing with their hair. Or the younger girl (Mei) was playing with the older one's (Lien) hair.
"I-is everyone already d-done!" Katyasha really was speechless. Everyone but the two sleeping Chinese boys turned to her, nodding their heads, "Oh my! And you all had an extra hour left!"
"Well actually, we all finished like 30 minutes ago da ze!" Yong Soo said with a cheerfully smile. It was true though, all the Asians finished around the same time; ranging from 30 minutes ago to an hour ago.
"D-did you look over your answers?" The Ukrainian nurse really didn't know how to handle this. She didn't expect them to be done so quickly. When they all (but Yao and Hong) nodded their heads again, Katyasha said, "W-well, I guess we're going to get your exam scores scanned early. Would you all like to come?"
All the Asians looked around at each other, all shrugging. Once they got up to follow the school nurse, Binh walked over to Yao and Hong, trying to wake them up.
"Yao! Hong! We have to go now ana!" Binh said, trying to shake the two awake. Hong woke up first, yawning as he stretched. Yao however, was another story. The rest of the group waited outside the classroom while Binh and Hong tried waking up Yao.
"Yao-Ge, food..." Hong finally said. Yao suddenly got up, accidently knocking over Binh.
"Food aru!" Yao looked down, noticing Binh on the floor. "Oops... Sorry aru!" Yao nervously chuckled, helping his Thai friend up.
"N-no problem ana," Binh nervously chuckled back, rubbing the back of his head, "Well, the nurse said that she was going to get our tests scanned and checked and asked if we wanted to come along ana," With the small explanation finished, the three exited the classroom, joining the rest of the group.
The 10 of them started walking back towards the office, exam packets in hand. When they had arrive at the large building, Katyasha lead them inside. It was a lot bigger then what it looked like on the outside. "Everyone," The nice Ukrainian started, getting the Asians' attention, "This is the main office building which also includes music rooms, art rooms, and the auditorium. Down this hall we are walking down is where the office is. This room," Katyasha stopped, her hand motioning towards one of the doors, "Is the office and where you go when you are late or leaving for an early dismissal. The door next to it is my office; the nurse's office," Katyasha continued touring everyone around the building, showing them the copying room, custodian office, security office, etc.
They had finally reached the test scanning room. Inside the room were a whole bunch of machines! Katyasha first scanned what was mostly the answers, in a couple of the machines, then popped the packets into the machines.
"Sorry but, it may take a while to get the packets scanned and corrected, so let's just continue with the tour~"
The Ukrainian nurse showed the Asians everywhere. First, it was the rest of the main building and it was WAY bigger than it looked on the outside. Both band and orchestra rooms were huge, and the auditorium was like an opera house! Next, she lead everyone to the regular classrooms, which were basically the same as the second year building they took the exams in. Then, Katyasha showed them the athletic based places. Hetalia academy had a field and arena for practically every sport. Katyasha explained how almost all the students go to all the sporting events. Even the music and drama ones, too. Finally, they saw the cafeteria. It wasn't exactly as big as everything else, but that was because everyone ate usually someplace else on campus. Even so, the cafeteria was built to still fit the whole school.
"I hope you really enjoy how our school is," Katyasha smiled sweetly. They finished the tour around 1 o'clock and were sitting around the large fountain in the courtyard, "I can just tell you all passed with flying colors and your scores will be mailed to you in a couple of days. Hope to see you all attend Hetalia Academy!" And with that, Katyasha said her goodbyes and left, the Zhongguo students doing the same.
The way home was awkwardly silent. Wu the bus driver had picked them up again and even noticed the intense air. When the Asians got off the bus and after it had left, Yao finally broke the silence.
"Anyone else very over whelmed aru?" To answer, they all raised their hands, "Okay... Anyone else prefer not to go aru?" They all left their hands up, and all sighed knowing that their social lives at Hetalia Academy, were going to be horrible.
When the nine students arrived home, Lin was sweeping the porch. The said monk looked up from his sweeping when he heard footsteps. Lin perked up and trotted over to them, eager to hear what their school was like. "Is it as big as it is rumored to be?"
"Even bigger..." Jun answered.
"How was the test?"
"Actually pretty easy," Kiku answered.
"Great! That means you all are going to Hetalia Academy!" Lin didn't know it, but his comment stabbed all the students. No one wanted to say anything, they didn't want to hurt the sweet monk's feelings.
"Y-yeah..." Yao strained a smile. Lin didn't catch it and went back to sweeping, smiling.
"I can't believe I have to do this. A couple of students aced their entrance exams and I have to tell them in person," Arthur grumbled to himself. Katyasha had told him the following day after the exams about the Zhongguo students and how they passed all their exams with 100 percents. She had asked him, the class (and school) representative, to tell them in person. Arthur couldn't refuse, the Ukrainian nurse was too nice for anyone to be mean to her.
"Are we even going to the right place! All I see are bloody fields!" Arthur growled at his driver. The driver was also a bit unsure; he had never driven to such a place. The driver constantly looked at the address and he knew he was going to right place.
"Um, Young Master Arthur, it seems the road has gotten a bit smaller and I cannot drive through," The driver nervously said. Arthur was already pissed and now was even more. The young Brit pinched the roof of his nose, annoyed from the news, then sighed.
"Fine, I'll walk from here..." Arthur took his book bag and opened the door. He first looked around this surroundings. It was the complete opposite from what he was used to. "Which way?" His driver quickly gave him directions and off Arthur went, "Who the bloody hell would live in such a place?" Katyasha didn't give Arthur any information on the new students, just their scores and address. Arthur had no clue who they were going to be and what they were like.
After a while of walking on a plain dirt road, Arthur was about to head back, doubting the directions and address. A few steps later, he finally found a gate with the same address as what he was given, on it. Well at least he knew he made it, but Arthur was really wary to who the new students were.
"Katyasha owes me new shoes..." Arthur grumbles after noticing how worn his fancy shoes were. He finally made it to the house and it was surprisingly big compared to how the surroundings were. Well, lots of people did live there, but Arthur didn't know that. The Brit knocked on the door and was soon greeted by a young monk, "Hello," Arthur said politely. The monk looked at Arthur from head to toe. He was wearing a dress shirt and dress pants, also wearing a tie around his neck. His shoes were still worn out, but still a lot more high class than anything he'd had seen. When the monk noticed the book bag, Arthur noticed his eyes widened and the monk slammed the door shut on him. "The bloody..."
"We're not interested in selling our land! Go away!" Arthur heard someone shout, "Go away! And don't come back!"
"Hey!" Arthur growled again. The young monk slightly opened the door again, a ladle in hand.
"My cousin taught be how to use this, and not just for cooking!" He said nervously. Arthur raised a bow, not at all frightened by the young monk's threat.
"I'm here to inform you about your scores on the Hetalia Academy entrance exams," Arthur was even more wary of the new students; were they all like the teenage monk. Was he one of the students?
Arthur was even more confused when the look on the monk's face changed from nervous and scared to practically sparkling. "Oh! Please do come in!" The monk opened the door wider, showing Arthur in, "And place remove your shoes..." Arthur did so and followed the young monk.
"Are you one of the students who took the test...?"
"Oh no!" Lin shook his head, "I'm Lin, and I already learned all that stuff from my master at a young age and don't need to go to school! The others however, still have to go to school."
"Your 'master' didn't teach them?"
"Well... Um... no," Lin chuckled nervously while Arthur sweat dropped, "Anyways! They should be around here! Oh, there's one of them!" Arthur noticed Lin trot over to another teen. The two Asians talked for a while and second Asian turned to Arthur. Arthur twitched a bit, but the boy turned back to the monk and nodded before walking away. Lin trotted back, "That was Kiku. He was one of the nine who took the exams. Kiku's gathering everyone right now. Would you like some tea while waiting?" Lin offered after leading Arthur to what seemed like the living room. Arthur agreed to some tea and was left alone in a somewhat large room with a small coffee table and a couple of pillows on the floor.
Arthur heard some footsteps and turned to where it was coming from. He noticed another Asian glaring back at him. This Asian seemed to be younger than him. Arthur was about to be polite and say hello, but the Asian quickly left. "That was rude..."
"He's always like that..." Arthur heard. He turned and noticed yet another Asian next to him. The Asian popped out of nowhere, scaring the crap out of Arthur, also making him jump a bit, away from the said Asian.
"Where the bloody hell did you come from?" The Asian raised a brow, then shrugged and remained silent. After a while, more and more Asians entered to room. Lin had came back after the 6th Asian appeared.
"Looks like Kiku's doing a good job gathering everyone here," Lin said, placing a tray of tea on the coffee table. There were 11 cups filled with hot tea. "Let's see, there's Hong, Binh, Jun, Lien, Mei, and Yong Soo," Arthur looked at all the Asians and they were looking back at him. Arthur didn't see the rude Asian from before and now knows that the Asian the scared him was Hong. "Oh, here comes Kiku and Hyung Soo!" Lin said as the Asian boy from before started pulling the rude Asian from before in. It was a bit of a challenge though.
"Come on, Hyung Soo-San! Lin-Kun said to meet in here!"
"I don't want anything to do with westerners!" Hyung Soo tried pulling back, but now Yong Soo, Binh, and Jun were helping Kiku pull him in. Hyung Soo lost the little game of tug-of-war. "I'm sorry Lin-Kun. I couldn't find Yao-Nii-San,"
"Oh, well it's fine, I'll go find Yao later with, um... With..." Everyone watched as Lin's cheeks start to tint pink, "I'll sorry, I haven't even asked your name yet," He nervously chuckle while all the Asians face-palmed.
"N-no worries, chap," Arthur smiled warily again, "I am Arthur Kirkland, fourth child of the Kirkland family," The Asians started looking around at each other, nervous looks on their faces. Once they heard the name 'Kirkland', they started to be very wary of Arthur like how he was with them.
The Kirkland family was one of the most powerful families in the world. They run many major industries and could do anything they want. And now, one of the most spoiled teens in the world was in their house. Fantastic...
"I am also the school representative and am here to congratulate you on passing the entrance exams. You all passed with 100 percents. Now, I need to speak to your guardians about sighing some paper work," Arthur said, pulling out everyone's entrance exams and the said paperwork. Everyone took their exams, still warily looking at Arthur. Lin gulped, unsure really what to do.
"Um, I guess you all can go now. I'll go get Master Shin," And with that, everyone but Arthur and Lin disbursed, "Um, you can go look around, I suppose. I'll come and find you after I get Master Shin. He's the head monk and everyone's guardian," Lin left before Arthur could say anything or ask any questions. This was starting to get very awkward for Arthur.
The British teen got up and started walking around. He first went outside, not really sure if he should be looking around the home of some people he just met. Once he got outside, he noticed it was still pretty bright out with some clouds up in the sky. He didn't see a single modern thing around. Curious about the world outside the modern world, Arthur started walking around in the field. He didn't care about his shoes, he was about to get new ones anyways.
Kneeling down from the side of a thin pass to get a closer look, Arthur noticed the plants were growing in water. How strange...
Arthur looked up from where he was when he noticed someone walking up to him, and saw someone looking back down at him. In his perspective, he was looking up at a pretty girl with a side ponytail wearing a straw hat. In her arms was a basket, holding some of the plants. Arthur noticed that she was somewhat muddy and standing in the ankle high water, too. "What are you doing aru...?"
