The Second Life's

IX - Winston House

In class.

The usually quiet classroom atmosphere, was now rather boisterous. The students who were always paying attention to their respective affairs, were currently gathered into several groups and discussing something very intensely.

Feline who was initially a bit restrained is now becoming very free with her new friends. Naturally, because there has been half a year since the arrival of her and her brother in this new school.

And these two little girls themselves have also attracted a number of close friends with their own personal charm and uniqueness.

Felice herself also slowly changed her personality little by little into a rather mature little girl. This change was not so sudden that it was easily accepted by his sister. Their class was boisterous because of the annual event that was about to be held.

This event can be said to be one of the most interesting events and has become a tradition at this school. Anyone can participate in this event be it students or teachers and there are many categories of competitions held such as art categories, sports, and so on. Outside the matches, there are also offerings from teachers and students as well as exhibitions. Now Felice's class is discussing who will represent their class to participate in those contests.

Felice wasn't particularly interested in the show, but her sister was different. Feline has been very enthusiastic since knowing this event. She's been moving around from next to her brother to every discussion group of their friends and now this little girl is settling down next to Derrick. 

The relationship between Feline and Derrick over time became increasingly familiar and now the two can be said to be good friends.

"Sister."

Felice who was reading the novel turned her head back when called by her sister. 

"We both have plans to take part in a relay swimming race, but we are still short of 2 more members. Brother want to come?" said Feline with a sparkling look and a clear face that she knew would make her sister melt.

Unexpectedly, Felice turned her gaze back to her novel and replied, "Not interested."

Feline was dumbfounded, but she did not give up and shook her brother's shoulder from behind as she called out, "Kak~"

"Come dong Kak~"

Felice closed her novel before turning around and catching both of her sister's ignorant hands with an amused smile. Feline, whose hand was still held by her brother, smiled innocently and said, "Follow it up, sister is also good at swimming and has nothing to lose from participating in sports contests."

After saying that, Feline turned her face to the side and gave Derrick a gesture using her eyes. The boy who had always been silent at the side nodded slightly before following Feline to make a clear expression with sparkling eyes.

Felice, "..."

Looking at the two little children who were looking at her with cute faces, a glimpse of helplessness squeezed out from the bottom of Felice's heart.

Finally he sighed and nodded.

The two boys who put on a face of compassion finally smiled brightly and tos each other to celebrate their excitement. Seeing the pure happiness of these two little angels, Felice was somewhat infected with this joyous atmosphere. He's not a real kid anyway.

For some reason since being reborn in this world, Felice who had an ice-cold heart in her previous life was able to melt into a child. Felice had long since been unable to feel compassion for others. Not only that, his hidden illness had not recurred for half a year either and his mind was very fresh.

Felice also realizes that her personality becomes softer and when facing others, she again does not only judge or try to dig up as much information from others as machines, such as machines, but he will try to understand others emotionally without intending to take advantage of others.

But after re-analyzing his current mental state, Felice realized that the current situation was far different from his past life. His current surroundings were not a trap labyrinth that could potentially attack him from all sides at any time. This was a peaceful life and he did not need to lift his defenses to the highest point, perhaps...

He was allowed to relax.

Felice sees her brother traveling with Derrick to find another member to complete their team. Peace grew to warm his mood.

......................

The bell rings indicating that the time to go home has arrived.

Class 2 members put together their belongings and prepared to leave the class. Several students gathered together or three to discuss their still unfinished topics while walking out through the door in an orderly manner.

Felice helped to arrange her sister's belongings before going out together with her sister. The two little girls said goodbye to Derrick before walking towards the homeroom office.

Feline knocked on the door before slowly opening it. As expected, Vendry was working on a stack of books and papers on his desk with a laptop that opened in front of him.

The two little girls walked into the office before politely greeting and declaring the purpose of their arrival.

"Sir, we would like to register for a relay-style swimming contest" Feline said.

Hearing his students' wishes, Vendry took out a piece of paper from his side drawer before placing it in front of his two students, "This contest requires 4 people in a team. Are your members complete?"

Feline nodded obediently, picked up the paper and filled out the registration form, "Already sir, our team is complete."

After filling out the form, Feline hands the paper to her homeroom teacher and leaves the office, but when they both want to leave, Vendry calls Felice and asks her to stay for a while.

Feline looked at her brother and got a small nod from her brother then obediently walked out of the office and closed the door. After her sister came out, Felice's expression turned a little subtly cold.

Vendry took out another paper from the drawer and said, "Many other teachers recommend you to participate in the art exhibition at this annual event. Are you ready?"

In this half a year Felice has shown an extraordinary talent in the field of art especially painting. Felice's first work in her painting class has sent a sensation in her class and gained the attention of her painting teacher. Then Felice also often made works to be displayed in the school mading. Each of his works always sent a vibe of anticipation to the person who had tasted his art.

Feline was fascinated by her sister's work. She never knew that her brother turned out to be this great in painting. Of course Felice knows that showing too much ability can backfire on himself, especially from people around him who know him well. Therefore he tried to restrain himself, but still what he learned was still too excessive when paired with a small figure of 7 years old.

Felice's fame increased until almost all of the school's residents knew her, so it's no wonder she was recommended by the teachers.

Felice took the paper and replied, "Yes, I'm willing."

There is no harm in participating in activities like this.
