The atmosphere outside was completely chaotic. Classroom windows, no wider than the desks inside, were now filled with students' faces pressed against the glass, desperately trying to peek inside.
"Move aside! I can't breathe!"
"I was here first!"
"They're so beautiful! I have to meet them!"
"Hey! Let us in!"
"Stop pushing!"
The shouts echoed through Diamond High School's hallways, transforming the typically elegant institution into something resembling a disorderly marketplace. The source of all this commotion? Five mysterious girls who had appeared like goddesses descended from heaven. Everyone was curious—the magical energy radiating from these five girls automatically drew the attention of every human who saw them. For the girls, this was quite troublesome, just like what was happening right now.
Students from all over the school crowded the hallway leading to the classroom, pressing against the windows and door that had been locked from inside. The crowd kept growing, fueled by rampant rumors and overflowing excitement.
Inside, ignoring students from other classes trying to break in, the students of Rose A2 had already taken the initiative by swarming around the five girls.
"Are you transfer students? Why didn't we see you during orientation?"
"Do you have boyfriends?"
"Your skin is perfect! What skincare do you use?"
"Want to hang out after school?"
These questions were just the tip of the iceberg facing the five girls. Everyone scrambled for their attention, as if afraid their voices would go unheard if they didn't ask quickly enough.
While Liza, Bella, and Suzy tried to handle the crowd, Luna chose to stay near the window. Her gaze was fixed on the courtyard fountain visible through the glass. Secretly, she used her long-range magic to make the fountain water form various shapes—hearts, teddy bears, and her favorite, pandas. "Hehe," she whispered softly, completely unconcerned with the surrounding chaos.
But soon, she suddenly sighed. Stopping her playful activity, Luna opened her phone and accessed a locked file titled "Fun High School Graduation Photos Collection!" Her finger scrolled down, searching for the school the principal had mentioned earlier. It turned out to be true—they were all alumni of the same school. "Will we really survive this time?" Luna thought, remembering what Suzy had said in the hallway earlier.
"Are we really not going to get caught?"
Suzy smiled faintly upon hearing this. She gently tapped Luna's forehead and said, "You're so naive! Is this our first time doing something like this?"
Suzy's words were true, but for Luna, who suffered from excessive anxiety, it still bothered her. Finally, she decided to calm herself by resting her head on the desk, seeking some peace.
Yoona, seeing Luna looking gloomy, was about to approach when her attention was diverted to the basil plant she had brought. Carefully, she sprayed her beloved basil plant as if the chaos around her meant nothing. However, her calm shattered when a jostling student accidentally knocked off a leaf. Her eyes immediately narrowed, shooting a sharp glare with a threatening growl while protectively clutching the basil pot in her arms.
At another desk, Liza wasn't faring any better. Her tense face clearly showed how extremely uncomfortable she felt. She narrowed her eyes, deliberately putting on a scowl, hoping to intimidate the crowd into backing away. Instead, the students grew even more excited, interpreting her fierce expression as the ultimate coolness. "Kyaa! So awesome!" some exclaimed, adding to Liza's growing fan list.
The demon was defeated. She dropped herself onto the desk while waving a white flag.
Beside her, Suzy could only offer faint smiles while avoiding direct eye contact. She was afraid that if she accidentally made eye contact, they would ask even more questions. Meanwhile, Bella secretly used her powers to knock over classroom objects—books, pens, bags—hoping to distract her admirers. However, no matter how many items fell, none succeeded in diverting their attention. Annoyed, at the last second she pulled out her chili lunchbox to calm herself down. Indeed, the five girls' appeal proved far stronger than any distraction Bella could create.
There was a good reason why these five captivated everyone. Their mysterious aura as supernatural beings hiding among humans created an undeniable magnetism that drew everyone's curiosity. To those seeing them for the first time, these girls were truly mesmerizing.
BAM! BAM!
The previously noisy classroom suddenly fell silent. Loud knocking from behind the door captured everyone's attention. The crowd outside mysteriously disappeared, their shouts replaced by an eerie silence. One brave student peeked through the window curtain—his face immediately pale as he warningly signaled to the others.
Outside stood Mr. Arnold, the most feared teacher, his face red with anger. Ready to teach, he instead found his classroom door locked.
"You little brats! Open this door now! I'll tan your hides one by one when I get in!" Mr. Arnold's roar shook the classroom.
The students froze, remembering the teacher's notorious temper. They exchanged guilty glances, silently blaming each other for the idea of locking the door earlier.
Two students who had been competing with Bella in a chili-eating contest had to cover their mouths while enduring the spiciness. Bella watched them relaxedly while eating chilies with confusion, and Yoona ignored the shouting while obsessively eating basil leaves one by one from their stems.
The lack of response from inside made Mr. Arnold even more furious. He banged on the door more violently while continuing to shout loudly.
"OPEN UP! If this door gets broken because of me, you're all paying for it!"
Gulp!
The tension peaked as Mr. Arnold banged harder on the door with the large wooden ruler he always carried. This old-fashioned teacher clearly had a heap of punishments prepared. One thought haunted everyone: whoever opened that door would die!
Luna, who had initially been asleep, now woke up to the increasingly loud knocking. Her excessive fear returned, and Bella, seeing this, immediately came over and hugged her.
"Are the demon armies attacking our classroom?" Luna asked worriedly. Bella couldn't answer—her mouth was full of chili peppers. If she opened her mouth, the chili would splash into Luna's eyes. Instead, she covered Luna's ears with both hands to calm the girl down.
Still, no one moved. No one dared to breathe, all pretending as if no one was inside.
However, calm footsteps were heard approaching. Suzy walked toward the door, ignoring the head shakes and frantic hand waves of students trying to prevent her from opening it.
Creeeak...
The door swung outward, revealing Mr. Arnold with his ruler raised high, ready to strike.
But suddenly, the atmosphere grew still. Mr. Arnold froze in place, the ruler still raised. His eyes stared unblinkingly at Suzy, who appeared with her gentle smile. The ruler clattered to the floor. His eyes widened, his mouth gaping. Suzy's dazzling angelic aura instantly extinguished the burning rage within him. Suddenly, his eyes began to tremble, a tear fell, and he began to speak haltingly.
"A... an angel?" he stammered, his legs trembling before he finally collapsed to the floor.
Mr. Arnold lay there with a foolish, happy smile—the effect of Suzy's charm magic penetrating the core of his being. This was his first time being defeated. An experienced teacher who never even blinked while intimidating his opponents had now been brought down by a single smile. It wasn't entirely his fault, for the stronger someone's emotions, the more powerful Suzy's charm worked. Mr. Arnold's constant anger made him an easy target. Fresh blood trickled from his nose, yet the happy smile never faded as he lost consciousness.
"The teacher fainted!" someone said with a mix of panic and admiration. Yet most of the class remained quiet, some students watching indifferently as if they didn't care. It was only temporary, until they all began eyeing each other suspiciously.
"This is..." Suzy had just opened her mouth in confusion when—
"HORRAY!!!" They cheered victoriously with complete freedom, some jumping with joy until others cried tears of relief, thinking their lives had been spared this time.
Witnessing this reaction firsthand, Liza almost choked on the potato chips she was eating. A well-educated demon who upheld morals and manners nearly screamed hysterically.
"ARE THEY ALL CRAZY?!!"
