“Um, Laila-n.im……”
The person who called Laila with a dazed expression was Camille, a teacher of the Alpha class.
Camille, who was also a distant relative of Laila, usually never lost her composure, but that wasn’t the case now.
Laila fully understood Camille’s expression.
“Is it, is it possible to produce this kind of power…… without even awakening the power of water?”
Because Laila herself felt the same way.
“ Laila-nim, you’ve awakened the power of water. Please say something.”
“That’s right, Laila-nim. What on earth is this……”
Aika, the assistant teacher of the Alpha class, also agreed with a face as pale as if she had seen a ghost.
In particular, Aika’s face held an expression of astonishment combined with that of a reporter who had found a scoop!
“It’s truly amazing……”
Was Aika’s maternal grandfather a flying fish shifter……?
Laila briefly thought of the assistant teacher’s family and figured that today’s event would also spread within a single day.
No, this time it might spread enough for all the collateral lines to know.
At least for the 30 years she had been the head, there had been no killer whale who caused an accident of this magnitude as soon as they entered.
Total thugs, gangsters, and psychos. It was a record that even her brothers, who each held one of those titles, could not achieve.
‘I’ve been talking about it like a joke until now, but……’
Laila’s face became quite serious.
‘A truly powerful successor candidate has appeared.’
However, soon a small smile that couldn’t be hidden played at the corners of her mouth.
If there was one thing Laila overlooked, it was that this time it didn’t take a day.
Because all the rumors had spread in just half a day.

“You’re so cool!”
“You’re cooler than my mom!”
An hour had passed since Karon was neatly taken care of.
I think the kids are quite cute, but even that became tiring after it was repeated continuously.
“Princess, please teach me too!”
……Admiration is good and compliments are good. But hasn’t it been going on for a long time at one hour, children?
Killer whales are hierarchical animals; Karon, who realized the hierarchy with a single blow, groveled on his own.
I drove the guy to the seat at the very end.
So Karon was currently sitting pitifully in the end seat.
When I gave him a single chair and named it the ‘Thinking Chair,’ the kids burst into laughter and loved it.
From what I heard, excluding a few killer whales in this class, they were all kids who had been hit by that guy.
No, where is there a place to hit kids? Why would you hit them?
I was generous toward whales that weren’t killer whales.
‘Where else could you find kids who love peace as much as these ones do.’
Fighting should be done between kids who like to fight.
If there was one thing I acknowledged and liked about my brothers, it was that they only engaged in gang fights with other killer whales.
‘No, was it with anyone who challenged them?’
Anyway, a guy who punches someone who was just staying still is…….
Look at this distortion of my memory.
‘The third one was a psycho who didn’t even have that much discretion.’
I shook my head.
In the meantime, the children’s applause did not stop.
‘Hey kids, aren’t you going to do your tasks today?’
Even the teachers over there were either staring with sparkling eyes or looking like they didn’t know what to do.
I felt like I had no choice but to resign myself.
“Everyone, be quiet.”
I dusted off my hands and put my index finger to my lips, signaling ‘shh.’
I had just mastered the way to make these kids quiet in one hour.
The babies stopped their laughing mouths as if they had been waiting.
There was even a child who went ‘hap’ and covered their own mouth.
Oh, how well-behaved.
Furthermore, the killer whale children mixed in seemed to grovel on their own, knowing that the hierarchy had already been divided.
Oh, how convenient.
“Everyone, take your seats. A great whale must receive their education diligently.”
“Yes!”
“Yeees!”
Age 3. First day at the Alpha class.
Taking over the class.
‘Ha, this is the power of the boss. The attention given to the boss.’
This was the great achievement accomplished today.
……Even if I might kick my blankets while lying in bed at night thinking about this.
* * *
On the way back after finishing the day’s education.
‘Huff, it was a rewarding day.’
I walked toward the carriage while still wearing the bag I brought in the morning on one shoulder.
Come to think of it, I now had to go down the stairs that I had worked so hard to climb up this morning. For a very brief moment, a groan escaped me, but what can you do.
Since I am the killer whale who became the boss today, I can sufficiently accept this level of ordeal.
The problem is that from now on, since my classroom is over there, the path of suffering where I will have to struggle every morning is clear.
‘Well, I should think of it as the price for going to the highest-ranking class.’
For reference, in the case of Karon, who was put in his place after acting up today, he couldn’t get up from the ‘Thinking Chair’ all day.
‘I thought the teachers would say something or give a warning at least once…….’
The teachers and assistant teachers in the highest-ranking class were all killer whale collateral lines.
Perhaps because of that, they didn’t offer any restraint after witnessing the hierarchy battle.
This was also a silent acknowledgment.
Rather, the assistant teacher of this class would look at me with a gaze that was sparkling to a somewhat burdensome degree.
She didn’t try to start a conversation since the teacher gave her a warning.
“You won’t have to move classes anymore. I even had the thought that I might not see you for long in this elementary institution.”
In Laila’s case, she left after leaving a single remark for me when the class ended.
“It seems that life at the institution will become interesting from now on.”
Indeed. If things go according to my plan, I don’t intend to stay here very long.
Above all, I plan to stay here only until I am 10 years old.
To put it another way, it means I have to leave after showing a very great achievement before age 10.
‘I’m confident.’
I clenched and opened my hands while looking at the stairs in front of me.
Putting aside thoughts of the future for a moment, it’s time to face the small ordeal of reality.
‘Huff, let’s think of this also as a necessary ordeal to show Grandma what’s what.’
Damn it, who on earth made the stairs this high.
It was the moment I sighed softly and was about to struggle down the stairs.
“Princess!”
“Princess!!”
When I lifted my head, two children with very pale white hair were looking at me.
With their sleek hair color and especially large pupils, these kids had an impression that looked similar to dolphin children.
‘Are they Beluga children?’
White whales. In other words, they are those called ‘Belugas.’
Perhaps because their original forms are cute and sleek-looking, these children also looked very bright-eyed.
As a side note, the white whale is not a type of dolphin.
‘They are quite small in stature among whales, aren’t they?’
Still, since they were older than me for now, I had to look up at them.
“Why did you call me?”
“Because I wanted to say hello!”
“Hello!! It’s a hello!!”
As a result of attending class together today, these guys were among the quite—no, the very smartest in the class.
Well, white whales are originally on the high side of intelligence among whales.
Weren’t they animals that could communicate with humans even in the world I used to be in?
Furthermore, they were shifters whose personalities particularly didn’t match with killer whales because they loved peace despite being very mischievous.
‘They probably suffered the most bullying.’
It was the same in the previous cycle, but there are no others who are as good at speaking the plain truth as these ones or the dolphins.
They are smart, generally righteous, and they don’t want to do things that don’t fit their own will.
It’s inevitable that they wouldn’t get along with killer whales, who are generally tyrants and self-centered.
“I only do the things I want to do. I’m smart, so I’m allowed to.”
This was the same whether it was the white whales currently in front of me or that common dolphin guy who was my strategist and followed me devotedly in the previous cycle.
“What kind of greeting?”
Since I suddenly remembered the subordinate I cherished before, I somehow couldn’t chase these tiny twins away.
I have to go home quickly and then go to Pierre’s house, though.
“You saved our class!”
“You saved it!”
“Hero!”
“Hero !!”
“Right, right. If it’s that kind of greeting, do it 10 more times.”
I nodded while crossing my arms.
If it’s praising my greatness, I can accept it more than 100 times today.
“Since I’m also a killer whale, I like hearing that I’m great.”
“You like it?”
“I like it!”
“Princess is the best!”
“You were cool!”
“Right, right. I am cool.”
I decided to show a bit more mercy and go down the stairs together with these white whale twins.
Actually, I didn’t want to show myself struggling down the stairs, but since I felt better.
“Karon hit us so much! My forehead is dented.”
“My head went in.”
“He did wrong. But isn’t your head usually on the soft side?”
“Heok, how do you know that?”
“Do you know?”
“Your skin is soft until you’re 10 years old. Isn’t that the case for all white whales……”
I was recalling knowledge from my previous cycle that was a bit hazy, when before I knew it, the white whale twins were looking at me with sparkling eyes.
“Princess, do you know white whales well?”
“It’s not that I don’t know.”
It was a nonchalant answer, but their gazes were even more shining than the assistant teacher’s from earlier.
“It’s the first time for this kind of interest!”
“It’s the first time!”
“Mom said you have to be good to the person who is the first! So I was good to Dad too!”
“Right! You were good!”
“……I don’t think that ‘first’ refers to this ‘first’?”
