Mr. Kirrell was savoring his last moments of relative quiet. Despite his propensity for grouchiness, John was still an early riser. He always wakes up without the aid of a Snooze button to make his bi-daily run around his neighborhood, then returns to his house in the Uran district to get ready for the day. It was once again time for John to receive a freshman class for homeroom, as the new year of classes has started. He hadn't been too fond of the departing senior class he had charge of, but nothing could grate the nerves quite like the stench of false confidence and worldly ignorance. Sipping the black tea he had brought from home, (he would never drink the vile stuff they named coffee) he wondered if this freshman class would give him as much trouble as he feared. They're probably a bunch of perfectly untrained ruffians, foaming at the mouths from being distracted from the television, John huffed into his cup. He would just have to set them straight.
Sighing as he realized that not a single drop remained of his tea, Mr. Kirrell braced himself for mental exhaustion to come, picking himself up from the seat he had claimed the first year he had taught at Valevay, and leaving the teacher's lounge, cup in hand. Reaching his classroom, he set down his tea cup and searched his desk for a hair tie. Mumbling to himself until he found a black one loosely wrapped around his stapler, he pulled it off and tied his hair back into a ponytail. This was usually the last step before he was ready to become the most hated teacher in the school. Who cares if it is his homeroom class? They needed to learn fear, and that was Mr. Kirrell's specialty.
