At the front of the classroom, the history teacher with pale hair was passionately sharing his views on the Three Kingdoms.
When he spoke of Cao Cao's "I enjoy killing people in my dreams," the bell signifying the end of the class rang.
He reluctantly put down the chalk, dusted off his hands, and said, "Everyone split into four groups, select one character from the Three Kingdoms as your topic, and we'll discuss it next class. That's all for today."
Since this was the last class of the day, the sound of footsteps filled the chaotic classroom.
Some chose to stay in the classroom to study, waiting until they could leave for cram school—this required being on good terms with the club minister, otherwise, they'd be marked absent.
Others couldn't wait to grab their bags and head to their clubs, and who knows whether they were really attending the club activities or if there was someone there they liked.
