"Adrian Blackwood. Please step forward."
I stepped forward until I was standing beside her, acutely aware of the sudden change in classroom atmosphere. The casual conversations died down as my classmates turned their attention toward me with obvious curiosity.
"Please perform your strongest strike. Don't hold back, I want to see your true capabilities," Sylvia instructed, her tone professional despite whatever preconceptions she might have held about my character.
Although Sylvia clearly had a poor impression of me based on the original Adrian's reputation, that didn't prevent her from doing her job as an educator and genuinely working to help me improve.
This was one of the traits that made me respect her as a person in my previous life. She helped all the students she could and made sure they achieved the highest possible achievement.
I nodded my head in acknowledgment at her words.
