Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 15

Episode 15

“Um, Ms. Lyla…”

The person who called Lyla with a bewildered expression was Camille, the teacher of Alpha Class.

Camille, who was also a distant relative of Lyla, rarely lost her composure, but she was clearly shaken now.

Lyla fully understood Camille’s expression.

“Is it possible to exert this kind of power without awakening the power of water…?”

Lyla herself felt similarly.

“Ms. Lyla, you have awakened the power of water, right? Please say something.”

“That’s right, Ms. Lyla. What on earth is this…”

Aika, the assistant teacher of Alpha Class, also chimed in with a pale face, as if she had seen a ghost.

Especially, Aika’s face showed both astonishment and the eager expression of a reporter who had found a major scoop!

“Really, amazing…”

Aika’s maternal grandfather was a flying fish Siren, wasn’t he?

Lyla subtly recalled the assistant teacher’s family, realizing that today’s events would spread like wildfire within a single day.

No, wouldn’t it spread to the point where all the distant relatives would know this time?

At least, in her 30 years as the headmistress, there had never been an Orca who caused this much commotion upon entering the school.

It was a record that even her brothers, each holding a title of notorious gangster, thug, and madman, had failed to achieve.

‘Now that it has come to this, although it was said jokingly…’

Lyla’s face became quite serious.

‘Another strong candidate for succession has truly emerged.’

However, soon a small, unconcealed smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

One thing Lyla overlooked was that this time it wasn’t a day.

All the rumors spread in just half a day.

“So cool!”

“Cooler than my mom!”

One hour had passed since Caron was neatly dealt with.

I think the kids are pretty cute, but even that gets tiring when it’s repeated over and over.

“Ms. Gongnyo, please teach me too!”

…Admiration is good, praise is good, but hasn’t it been an hour, kids?

Orcas are hierarchical animals, and Caron, who realized the hierarchy with a single blow, knew his place.

I drove him to the very end.

So, Caron was currently sitting pitifully at the end of the room.

I gave him a chair and named it ‘Thinking Chair,’ and the kids laughed and liked it.

I heard that, except for a few Orcas in this class, they were kids who had been bullied by that guy.

Seriously, why would you hit kids?

I was lenient towards whales who weren’t Orcas.

‘Where else can you find kids who love peace like these guys?’

Fights should be between those who like to fight.

The only part I acknowledged and liked about my brothers was that they only fought with Orcas.

‘No, did they fight with anyone who picked a fight?’

Anyway, someone who beats up someone who was just standing still…

Look at my memory distortion.

‘The third one was a madman who didn’t even have that restraint.’

I shook my head.

Even in the meantime, the children’s applause didn’t stop.

‘Hey kids, aren’t you supposed to be doing your homework today?’

Even the teachers over there were either staring with sparkling eyes or looking clueless.

I realized I had no choice but to give up.

“Everyone, be quiet.”

I dusted off my hands and raised my index finger to my lips, shushing.

I had just learned how to quiet them down after an hour.

The little ones stopped laughing as if they had been waiting for it.

Some even covered their mouths.

Aww, how kind.

Besides, the Orca kids mixed in already knew the hierarchy and were acting accordingly.

Aww, how convenient.

“Everyone, take your seats. A great whale must study hard.”

“Yes!”

“Yess!”

Aged 3. First day of Alpha Class.

Taking over the class.

‘Ha, this is the power of the boss. The attention given to the boss.’

This was the achievement I made today.

…Even though I might lie in bed and kick the blanket at night for thinking this way.

* * *

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

‘Phew, it was a rewarding day.’

I walked to find a carriage with the bag I had brought in the morning still on my shoulder.

When I think about it, I had to go down the stairs I had worked so hard to climb in the morning. A brief groan escaped me, but what could I do?

I’m an Orca who became the boss today, so I can fully accept this much hardship.

The problem is that now that my classroom is there, I can see the hard road ahead of me every morning.

‘Well, I should think of it as the price for going to the top class.’

For reference, Caron, who caused trouble today and got his hierarchy sorted out, couldn’t get up from the ‘Thinking Chair’ all day.

‘I thought the teachers would say something at least once and give a warning…’

The teachers and assistant teachers of the top class were all distant relatives of Orcas.

Perhaps that’s why they didn’t interfere at all after witnessing the hierarchy fight.

This was also a tacit acknowledgment.

Rather, the assistant teacher of this class looked at me with a slightly burdensome, sparkling gaze.

The teacher gave a warning, so she didn’t say anything.

“I suppose you won’t be moving classes anymore. I even thought I might not see you for long in this junior institution.”

In Lyla’s case, she left a word for me after class and went back.

“I think institutional life will be more interesting from now on.”

Of course. According to my plan, I don’t intend to stay here for very long.

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

In other words, I have to show a very great achievement and leave before I turn 10.

‘I’m confident.’

I clenched and opened my hand, looking at the stairs in front of me.

Let’s put aside thoughts of the future for a while and face the small trials of reality now.

‘Phew, let’s think of this as a trial necessary to show Grandma what I’m made of.’

Damn it, who made the stairs so high?

I was about to sigh softly and start struggling down the stairs when.

“Ms. Gongnyo!”

“Ms. Gongnyo!!”

I raised my head and saw two children with very light white hair looking at me.

With smooth, shiny hair and particularly large pupils, these kids had an impression similar to Dolphin Sirens.

‘Are they Beluga kids?’

Belugas. Also known as ‘white whales’ [a species of toothed whale].

Perhaps because their true form is cute and smooth, these children also looked very bright.

As a side note, Belugas are not a type of dolphin.

‘They are small even among whales, right?’

Still, since they were older than me, I had to look up at them.

“Why did you call me?”

“We wanted to say hello!”

“Hello!! Hello!!”

As a result of having class together today, these guys were quite, no, among the smartest in the class.

Well, Belugas are originally among the most intelligent whales.

Wasn’t it an animal that could communicate with humans even in the world I was in?

Besides, they are playful but love peace, so they are Sirens who don’t particularly get along with Orcas.

‘Maybe they were the most bullied.’

Like in the previous timelines, there are no other kids who are as good at speaking their minds as these guys or Dolphins.

They are smart, generally righteous, and don’t want to do things that don’t suit their tastes.

They can’t help but not get along with Orcas, who are generally tyrannical and selfish.

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

This was the same whether it was the Belugas in front of me now, or the Bottlenose Dolphin, my strategist who followed me so dearly in the previous timeline.

“What kind of greeting?”

Recalling my previous cherished subordinates anew, I somehow couldn’t chase these little twins away.

I need to go home quickly and then go to Pierre’s house.

“You saved our class!”

“Saved us!”

“Hero!”

“Hero!!”

“Okay, okay, if it’s that kind of greeting, say it 10 more times.”

I nodded with my arms crossed.

If it’s about praising my greatness, I can accept it 100 more times today.

“Since I’m also an Orca, I like hearing that I’m great.”

“Like it?”

“Like it!”

“Ms. Gongnyo is the best!”

“You were so cool!”

“Okay, okay. I’m cool.”

I showed a little more generosity and decided to go down the stairs with these Beluga twins.

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

“Caron hit us really hard! My forehead is dented.”

“My head is dented.”

“He was wrong. But aren’t your heads usually soft?”

“Gasp, how do you know that?”

“Do you know?”

“Your skin is soft until you’re 10 years old. Isn’t that true for all Belugas…”

As I recalled the vague knowledge from the previous timelines, the Beluga twins were already looking at me with shining eyes.

“Ms. Gongnyo knows Belugas well?”

“I don’t *not* know.”

It was a nonchalant answer, but it elicited an even brighter gaze than the assistant teacher earlier.

“First time someone is interested!”

“First time!”

“Mom said we should be nice to the first person! So, we were nice to Dad too!”

“Yeah! We were nice!”

“…I don’t think that’s what she meant by ‘first’ here?”
