At that Ms. Brüngger scoffs and puts her arm on Angelina's shoulder, silencing her. "Of course it's not illegal. Everything marked is an auxiliary material that only clogs our archives. Every institution does it occasionally to safe space for new content. With that being said, you are prohibited from opening the containers, many of them are lost diaries of past students and their now decrepit projects, as well as school's property. Good girls don't scour other's property, hence take care of it as you find it. Overseer will ensure you won't invade other's privacy, and follow instructions."
Angelina nods slowly, but dutifully. Yet neither you, Jaq, or Alex look convinced. But with nothing to add here, you relent and move on.
After another sneeze, you are reminded that in the end, it's still an exam. All groups will be expected to meet a daily quota, with rewards and punishment for over a d under performing respectively. Overseer will also note your actions - behavior denying the principles of the school will be severely punished, as well as any attempts at bribery. The guard outside is at overseer's command and ensure their safety - on that point Angelina lingered a while, which seemed to anger Jaq.
Once she's done with the topic. Her expression sours, but she forces her emblematic smile anyways. "As you know, a lot of happened to us today." She says solemnly. "For this tragic reason, your today's quota will be lowered. I apologize you had to through such traumatizing experience. . It's all I could do for you." She says, and looks at you all with hope.
You nod in thanks. It might be useful! Yet, like before, Alex and Jaq merely shrug and ignore her efforts entirely
Shaken, she lowers her papers and bows. "That's it, then. I will be over there." She says, and turns to leave towards librarian's desk overlooking the main hall. Yet, before she can escape, Ms. Brüngger puts a hand on her head. Slowly ruffling her hair she coos. "Angelina, dear, could you give it the guard outside?" And handles the brooding girl something small enough you haven't seen what exactly it is.
"Of course." Angelina breaths out, and limps away like a beaten dog.
Only steps can be heard until the doors close behind her.
Then hell is let loose - immediately, your large dashes to your desk, and abruptly lifts tiny in comparison Jaq by the jacket's collar. "Listen here, you little shit. I've heard of you. You think yourself smart? Think again."
"H-hey! Stop!" Alex and you immediately rise. Yet, a single glance of brunette's terrifying glare keeps you both at bay.
Shaking your limping friend in the air, she continues. "You are lucky! I don't care about you, you are nothing. Just like the previous ones. But don't you dare-"
"Y-you are strangling her!" Alex yells, still confused at the sudden violence. Meanwhile terrified and pale Jaq uselessly squeezes teacher's hands, trying to free herself.
"Stop that, please!" You plea desperately.
