Killer Whale Baby

“Um, Miss Laila…”

The person who called Laila with a flustered expression was Camille, a teacher from the Alpha Class.

Camille, who was also a distant relative of Laila, generally never lost her composure, but this time was different.

Laila understood Camille’s expression very well.

“So, is it possible to possess this kind of power without awakening the power of water?”

Laila herself had a similar sentiment.

“Laila awakened the power of water. Please tell us.”

“That’s right, Miss Laila. What on earth is this…”

Aika, a ghost and assistant teacher in the Alpha Class, responded with a bewildered expression.

In particular, Aika’s face showed a combination of astonishment and the expression of a reporter who had just come across a scoop!

“Truly, amazing…”

Was Aika’s foster grandfather a stingray or something…

While thinking briefly about the assistant teacher’s family, Laila felt that today’s events would spread in just one day.

No, this time it might spread to the extent that everyone in the school would know.

At least, in the 30 years she had been here, there had never been a sperm whale that caused such an incident immediately after enrollment.

It was a record that even her brothers, who held titles such as troublemaker, gangster, and crazy, had not achieved.

“By this point, I should have known better…”

Laila’s expression became more serious.

“We really have another powerful successor.”

However, a small smile that she couldn’t hide appeared on her lips.

If Laila had overlooked one thing, it was that this time it wasn’t just for one day.

In just half a day, all the rumors had spread.

“We did it!”

“She’s cooler than my mom!”

Charon had tidied up neatly, and an hour had passed.

I used to find the kids adorable, but after hearing the same thing over and over again, I got tired of it.

“Teacher, please teach me too!”

…It’s nice to receive admiration and praise, but one hour isn’t that long, kids.

Sperm whales are hierarchical animals, and Charon, who broke through the ranks with a single blow, knew it instinctively.

I pushed that guy to the back.

So now Charon pitifully sat in the back.

I gave him a chair and called it the “thinking chair,” and the kids laughed and liked it.

It turned out that except for a few sperm whales in this class, most of them had been beaten by him.

No, when did I ever hit the kids?

I was lenient with whales other than sperm whales.

‘Where are the kids who love peace like them?’

Fights should only happen between kids who like to fight.

If there was one aspect where I acknowledged and liked my brothers, it was that we always sparred with sperm whales.

“No, did I ever spar with that guy?”

Anyway, the one who cornered the guy who was quietly sitting there…

My memory has quite a distortion.

‘The third guy was just a crazy guy with nothing like that.’

I nodded my head excitedly.

Meanwhile, the children’s applause continued without ceasing.

“Hey, kids, didn’t you do your assignments today?”

Even the teachers standing there seemed dazed and clueless.

I couldn’t help but resign myself to the situation.

“Everyone, quiet down.”

I ran my hand through my hair and placed my index finger over my lips, gesturing for silence.

The children, who had been giggling and laughing, stopped as if they had been waiting for my signal.

Some even covered their mouths with their hands.

Ah, they can be so sweet sometimes.

And the mixed-breed whale children had already sorted themselves into their respective ranks.

Ah, it’s convenient as well.

“Take your seats, everyone. A great whale needs to study hard.”

“Yes!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Three years old. The first day of Alpha Class.

Enrolling in the class.

“Ha, this is the power of a boss. The attention given to a boss.”

That’s what I achieved today.

…Even if I had this thought while lying in bed and kicking the blanket in the evening.

* * *

On the way back after finishing the day’s classes.

“Ah, it was a rewarding day.”

I walked, still carrying the bag I brought in the morning.

Now I had to go down the stairs that I had climbed so eagerly in the morning. I let out a slight groan, but what can I do?

I am a whale who achieved the position of a boss today, so I can endure this kind of trial.

The problem is that now my classroom is down there, so I have to suffer this grueling path every morning.

“Well, I should think of it as the price to pay for being in the top class.”

By the way, Charon, who was rearranged in the ranks today, couldn’t get up from the “thinking chair” all day.

Even though the teachers warned me, I couldn’t care less.

Both the main and assistant teachers of the top class were whale clans.

That’s why they didn’t intervene in the rank fights.

It was also a kind of implicit acknowledgment.

Rather, the assistant teachers of this class would sometimes look at me with shining eyes, as if feeling a bit burdened.

Once the teachers warned, they didn’t bother me with their words.

“You won’t be changing classes anymore. I even thought I wouldn’t be able to see you for long in this elementary institution.”

Laila left a word for me before returning home after the class ended.

“I think school life will be more enjoyable from now on.”

Well, if things go according to my plan, I won’t stay here for long anyway.

Above all, I only plan to stay here until I’m 10 years old.

In other words, I have to show remarkable achievements before the age of 10 and leave.

‘I’m confident.’

I raised my hand and looked at the stairs in front of me.

For now, I’ll put aside thoughts of the future and face the small trials of reality.

‘Well, let’s think of this as a necessary trial to show Grandma my growth.’

Damn it, who made these stairs so high?

I let out a small sigh and began to descend the stairs with a grunt.

“Princess!”

“Princess!!”

When I raised my head, I saw two children with very light-colored hair looking at me.

With their pale hair and unusually large pupils, these kids resembled dolphin children.

‘Are they beluga whale kids?’

Beluga whales, also known as ‘Beluga’ were known for their high intelligence among whales.

They appeared quite young compared to me, but I still had to look up to them.

“Why did you call me?”

“We wanted to say hello!”

“Hello!! Hello!”

After spending the day teaching them, I realized that these kids were not only smart but also among the top students in the class.

Beluga whales, known for their high intelligence among whales, could communicate with humans in my world.

Moreover, due to their love for peace despite their mischievous nature, they had a particularly different temperament from the killer whale kids.

‘They probably went through a lot of bullying.’

As mentioned in the previous chapter, there were no other kids who could speak as politely as they or the dolphin children.

They were smart, generally righteous, and did not want to do anything that went against their will.

It was natural that they didn’t get along well with the generally tyrannical and unruly killer whale kids.

‘I only do what I want to do. I’m smart, so it’s okay.’

But once they was older than me, I had to look up.

‘What kind of greeting is that?’

As I recalled my loyal subjects from before, I couldn’t bring myself to chase away these small twins.

I had to hurry home and then go to Pierre’s house.

“You saved our class!”

“You saved us!”

“You’re a hero!”

“A hero!!”

‘Well, if it’s that kind of greeting, give me ten more.’

With my arms crossed, I nodded my head.

If it was praise for greatness, I could receive it a hundred times today.

“I like it when people say I’m great because I’m a killer whale.”

“Do you like it?”

“I like it!”

“Princess is the best!”

“You’re awesome!”

“That’s right. I am awesome.”

I decided to show a little more recognition and walked down the stairs with the beluga whale twins.

I didn’t want to show them the sight of me grumbling down the stairs, but I felt good now.

“Charon hit us so hard! My forehead is all dented.”

“My head got dented too.”

“It’s his fault. But your heads are usually squishy, aren’t they?”

“Oh, how did you know that?”

“You know?”

“Until you’re ten years old, your skin is lighter. Isn’t that true for all beluga whales…”

As I recalled vague knowledge from the previous chapter, the beluga whale twins suddenly looked at me with bright eyes.

“Do you know about beluga whales, Princess?”

“I know a bit.”

Although it was an indifferent response, their eyes shone even brighter than the substitute teacher from earlier.

“This is the first time I’m interested in theory!”

“The first time!”

“You have to treat the person who is interested for the first time nicely! So, I’ll treat my dad nicely too!”

“Me too! I’ll treat him nicely!”

“…Isn’t this not the first time since you mentioned the first time?”
