"You know, I think I'm starting to get nervous"

Said one of my classmates as he looked around. His nails were already practically destroyed thanks to my classmate's attempt to escape his nervousness.

"Could you stop saying that every 10 seconds? ...now even I am starting to get nervous"

Said another of my classmates. In general, it was visible that everyone was quite nervous and anxious about the imminent presentation of our class. From what I heard while walking around the school with Emi, our specific class is drawing a lot of attention since the king and queen will also be present.

When my classmates heard this, they started to say that this is too much for people like them, which is quite strange if you ask me since among them, there are a few nobles.

Of course, since everyone gets along well, we hardly ever talk about positions and things like that. Everyone in the class already treated each other as fellows even before I started relating to them, as I must say, our class is without a doubt quite special and peculiar, in a good way, of course.

"Relax, guys. We've been working on this all week. Besides, I wouldn't have even brought this project here if I didn't trust the skills of all of you"

I said as I looked at each of my classmates. I wasn't just talking out of my mouth; these were my real thoughts. You could see that everyone was getting noticeably calmer, but even so, you could still see some remnants of nervousness. Well, that will pass when we start the presentation.

(... Probably)

I thought as I let out a small sigh.

"Guys, are you ready?"

Susy-sensei asked through the curtain. Her head was the only thing visible, which gave her a rather funny appearance.

"We are waiting for Emi"

I said as I looked around, seeing that Emi had not yet arrived.

"If that's her, then she is already waiting for you guys on stage"

Said Susy-sensei as she spaced the curtain a bit, giving a very small view of the other side. But just as she said, I could see Emi on the other side organizing some things on the table. Besides, although Susy-sensei says "stage" this is nothing more than our classroom.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

Although initially, I thought of asking for the auditorium for this, I soon discarded those ideas since it would be almost impossible to stop the flow of people in that area. If our project leaked out ahead of time, some problems could happen.

"Alright, in 2 minutes, we will be ready"

I said as I looked at Susy-sensei. Hearing my response, she nodded and went back to the other side of the curtain. As soon as she left, I turned to my classmates again and noticed that everyone was looking at me.

"Alright, everyone, we will start the presentation in 2 minutes. I just want to remind you that each of you was chosen for your abilities, so puff out your chests and show pride. After all, you will all revolutionize the means of long-distance locomotion forever"

I said, looking at everyone with a smile on my face. Hearing my words, the expressions of all my colleagues became serious, and they nodded. That sign was all I needed. In seconds, the curtain was opened, and soon we were all in sight. All the seats were taken, and there were people standing who could not get a seat in time.

At the door, you could see a significant number of people trying to get a view from inside the room. Overall, our presentation got a good number of visitors. Of course, it was impossible not to notice the beautiful couple with their children who were sitting in the first row right next to where we were.

I can say that the success of today's presentation was because of them, but that will only be for a short time. Soon, people will only be able to focus on one thing in this room. While these thoughts were going through my head, Emi was talking to the audience about what our presentation was going to be about.

While she was talking, I was looking at the faces of the spectators, and I could notice that most of them were totally disbelieving. Some people in the background were whispering to each other while laughing. I am sure that they think that this is just an unrealistic dream of a bunch of kids. As I looked at the spectators, I noticed a few glances coming my way.

My father, my mother, my sister, along with Oliver and Hana, were also present. While my family looked at me with worried looks, Oliver and Hana still kept their serious and professional look. Besides them, both the king and the queen looked at me with mysterious looks on their faces. Albert was looking at me with a calculating look, while Asia looked at me with a smile on her face.

(Already Emi's last brother)

I thought as I looked at him.

(I really can't understand what this guy is thinking)

I thought as I noticed the look on his face at me. For some reason, his face was expectant, but clearly not the same expectation as the others. As soon as Emi finished speaking, she looked at me as she nodded. Taking her cue, I turned to my classmates, and soon they all started making their preparations. After a few seconds of preparations, all that was missing was the lever.

Looking at the faces of everyone in the audience, it was possible to see that everyone was looking at me with various emotions on their faces. With a smile on my lips, I pressed the lever, and with a loud noise along with smoke coming out of the chimney of the steam train, it began to travel along the track we had laid before.

Of course, as the room was not so big, the track made a loop around the place, but that was enough for the presentation. As I looked into the faces of the spectators, they all had the same expression: astonishment and disbelief.
