"Today I have some announcements to make," Dante said as the children slowly settled into their seats, the earlier chalk incident already fading from their attention like morning fog.
The moment he spoke, every pair of eyes turned toward him.
Drake leaned forward immediately, his earlier sleepiness completely gone, replaced by the alertness of a dragon sensing food.
"What announcement?" he asked, curiosity bright in his voice. "Is it food related? Please say it is food related. Please please please."
Dante glanced over the room once, making sure everyone was listening. His glasses caught the light, giving him an even more professorial look.
"In the upcoming week," he began calmly, "we are organizing two activities."
The class leaned in slightly, breaths held.
"Plantation," he said, "and Sports Day."
For a second, there was silence.
Then—
"WHAT?!"
"Sports day?!"
"GAMES?!"
The classroom burst into excitement like a volcano of tiny supernatural beings.
