Adam, somewhat dazed, followed the advice and headed towards the school while trying to remember what he did as a child, but he only remembered playing in the corridors and shelves of the lower floors.

Finally, he got to school, but he was a little embarrassed to walk into the classroom and have to say that he was late again and didn't do his homework either, but he came all the way here and couldn't go back.

So, gathering his courage, Adam pushed open the door and said:

—Sorry, teacher, I'm late!

—...—Adam looked around, somewhat dazed: There was no one in the room!

Not knowing quite what to do, Adam walked over to the desk he had used last time.

Adam put his box of old shoes on top of the desk and sat down; to wait for time to pass. But nothing happened, so Adam fell asleep on the bench; he was a bit tired from waking up early today.

Time passed and Adam had fallen asleep, but it was then that he heard a scream that made him wake up suddenly in fear. Then Adam remembered that he wasn't on the lower floors and looked at the source of the scream:

—Achilles, I had a question!—Said a girl with a dominant voice dressed in white robes—Where did that bum go? Does he not want to work? Who are you?

The girl had blonde hair and silver eyes: the outlines of her eyes were somewhat black like her father's, she seemed to be quite close in age to Adam's. The most striking thing is that despite her age, the girl had tattoos all over her hands. The tattoos appeared to be colorful flowers and animals that Adam had never seen in his life, but they were very, very striking.

—I'm Adam—Adam answered with some nerves. It wasn't the first time he saw a girl, but the first time she spoke to him—I'm waiting for the teacher too.

—Wait for him?—The girl said, looking at Adam intently; making Adam even shyer— If it's his job! Let's kick the principal's door in until he gives us a teacher! What do you think we pay this for?

The girl walked over to Adam and took his arm; pushing him to follow her. Adam, without much choice, followed the girl somewhat nervously; he didn't know that the other kids were so violent, no wonder the guards looked at him weird on the bench.

The girl dragged Adam through the corridors of the hexagon to a door with wood: with very beautiful patterns engraved all over its surface and a metal plate inscribed with the name: Cesar.

*Puff* ... The girl literally kicked the headmaster's door open, but noticing that it didn't open, she looked at Adam expectantly.

Adam, somewhat nervous, decided to follow the girl and go door to door with her; he didn't want some of her classmates to dislike her.

*Puff*...*Puff*...*Puff*... The door was kicked violently by the two children until an old man in red robes opened the door.

Adam nearly passed out; He didn't expect that the same old man who had passed before on the stairs would be direct, much less than someone with a different colored robe kicked in the door.

—What happened now, Sofia?—Cesar said with a smile; he didn't seem too upset with the kids kicking in his door.

—Achilles, that happened!—The girl shouted angrily—He's supposed to be our teacher! But he is never there!

—Okay, you don't have to get impatient—Cesar said with a confident grandfather's smile—Come into my office, the corridors are not a good place to argue.
