This Island– named Rupan was the largest island country in the world, also referred to as Ruean. In the outside world it was also referred to as an island of Seeds. This island had a long history of many eras, from gods, to human, to samura, to ninja, to war, to revolutions, to suddenly being struck by an apocalypse, to a whole country people dieing, to being reborn with a new purpose, to being evolved and gaining the name– The island of seed, Rupan. This country has a very long history.
Currently, Rapan is a special place where students from all over the world come to complete their higher studies. It was the only place where higher level further studies could be done and had a history of producing 80 percent more capable adults than any other system of education in human history, both socially and educationally.
Divided into 11 sectors, at center the biggest sector–sector-9, and around it other 10 sectors. All these sectors were ranked by the quality of results they had produced in the last 40years. Special sectors being sector 1, 2 and 3 respectively. And other ranks constantly changed every two years, it was only the sector 1, 2 and 3 which had remained highest ranked in the results they produced over the last four decades. These special sectors had been a VIP area so other sectors weren't allowed to enter without permission, Even if given the permission, they were strictly supervised by the guide that would be appointed to them. In all, Rupan operated on a very carefully planned and laid system which evolved with society and produced adults who could survive in any kind of modern society. A System which now after 40 years would officially implement all the effective experiments running in different sectors into one. Which would later be said to be the starting point of all.

The footsteps echoed through the hall. Still unnoticed in the room filled with chatter. As they got closer the sound got mixed with the ambient of chater. And when everyone was busy chattering, the door slid open.
"Everyone is lively today. Aren't they"
A familiar voice entered the class. On hearing and noticing the presence, which now stood at the teacher's desk, they got to their respective places and after a quick breath greeted back to the teacher.
"Good morning, Sir.,"
"Good morning, to you all too. You might have already heard of it but there is a huge policy shift which is going to be applicable from next month. And there is quite a lot of information to be shared actually. But before that I need to make sure everyone is here."
Mr Mascow, who was in a bright mood today, looked around the class, after confirming that all were present, he started.
" As you all are already aware of the fact that, this country runs on a very complex system which focuses on integrating teenagers with the society in an early stage, to develop outstanding adults for the world. But the perfect ideal this system aims for isn't actually the results it produces. For you may have already heard of this quote, 'Great things are built upon time and effort and many failures.' Which is also true for this island you all live on. I will tell you something, these new changes will bring a great change in this country. It may be somewhat of a revolution if you want to be historical. Anyways, first read this to get you all started with."
As Mascow finished, a bunch of people entered the class, around 5. And started distributing around 1 cm thick hard copies to the students. After they finished with distribution, students had already started reading it just after getting it. After 5 minutes mr Mascow
Started,
" Well as you have read it, you can take all the information in it as official, nothing in it is unimportant. So please go through with it again at your home.
Now, though I would love to say that's all but seriously, it isn't. Other than you all having to adjust for a whole new education system. You all will be getting shuffled with students of other sectors, and depending on that many of you may have to shift your residence. Though, we say it is to happen, but unfortunately, it has already been decided. The decisions are made and cannot be changed unless there is a very valid reason."
"Then sir, from what you said, what is the set criteria for doing this shuffle?"
A girl sitting on the right side of the class, inquired.
"Well of course, knowing that this island is very divided due to the ranking hierarchy of different sectors, we have tried our best to do it in a way which breaks any previous existing hierarchy.
To no longer continue with that old system and evolve is the main motive of these changes. But as for the official method of shuffle we cannot tell you more than the fact that it's not random. Any other questions?"
"No"
The girl was not very satisfied with the answer but let it go. They were used to it, the system rupan operated on was a model of any information on which was to be kept away from the world. Because of it still being in its early stage the country could not deal with any leak of crucial Data. And as the name The Country of Seeds implied, the country stood on the system it had created.
"Ok, I think you all know the process."
"Yes"
"From tomorrow, you all will be seriously busy with shifting or with farewells for those who are unfortunate. The list of people who are assigned a new place along with their new destination. Will be printed on the class board tomorrow. These details will also be messaged to you on your registered phone number.
And for the people, who are to shift. We have already arranged shifting companies for them all. The information about the shifting department will be shared with you. You can deal with the procedures from there on. You are to shift within this week and accounting for other things you all will be given a holiday for a month. Official dates will be informed. If anyone has any doubt from information I have given to you you can ask. I know it could be kind of overwhelming to digest all this in this short of time, but give it time after going home. So any doubt."
"No"
"Ok, I think this is enough information that I can give you. And it's also the end of my part officially. I hope you will adjust well to your new future."
Mr Mascow, looked at the faces of people standing behind him, on his look the people who had previously distributed the hardcopies moved forward. And holding a chalk, he continued,
"These are the people who will officially be responsible for you all till the end of this month. For any information you are to contact them. If you face any difficulty you can contact them. You are to refer to them as your teachers, though these faces might be new for you, they are of the higher sectors. Though the ranking does not stand as per the new system but still for your information."
Mr. Mascow moved behind, giving space for other teachers to take the spot and introduce themselves.
At the same moment, a woman moved forward. "I am Honomi kixz. A well educated person in the field of physiology and health. Though for subjects I teach, there aren't any actually. My role will soon be understood by you all after the end of first phase, so don't need to look at me like that. I think Tachibana Sensei is the only one who can be called your normal teacher here."
A man wearing glasses came forward, and in a monotone shut Honomi Sensei's mouth, " who said you will be taking the lead?" From the looks of it they looked close. To Tachibana Sensei's word Honomi just made a へ like face.
" Well anyways… it doesn't really matter so be it." Tachibana Sensei said, sighing. It seemed like it was normal for them to refer to them this way.
"I just took the lead. It wasn't decided anyways. Well students He is an upper sector director, but now that the system has changed, so has his job. Anyways… Please introduce yourself."
"Just as she mentioned, I am Tachibana kuge. My role and past doesn't matter here so I won't be wasting yours and mine time by talking about it. Now..."
The mood which or any impression the student had seeing the previous interaction between Honomi and Tachibana Sensei became invalid as if it never happened. The tone and voice in which Tachibana Sensei stated the situation. All the previous assumptions were thrown out of the window. There was a huge contrast between how he reacted to Honomi Sensei. The contrast was subtle, the tone was still monotonous but there was authority present behind it. An aura which demanded attention and respect.
Even though an outsider would tell 'he is just speaking in an official manner' to the Contrary this contrast could only be sensed by the people who are being referred to, in this case the students.
"... I think you all are clear on what I explained to you. I think all the details of what you have to do this following month are clear. If there are any complications during this month you are to contact the number which will be provided to you on your phones. Anyone who will be available out of us will be assigned to you, until your compilations are solved. Furthermore, you can remember the names which have been told to you if you would like. With this I would like to end it here. We have already taken an hour or so. We will be leaving now. And yes you will be dismissed after 12. That's all."
Without waiting for anyone's words Tachibana Sensei went outside and was soon followed by Honomi and teachers. Though when they thought they all were gone. Honomi sensei came again into class.
"Ah, I forgot to tell you something, Tachibana has a bad habit of sometimes not mentioning the information he thinks should be obvious. Ok, here."
Honomi sensei took the chalk Mr. Mascow was holding. And wrote a 10 digit number on the board.
"Note this number, if any of us is not available and you have an urgent problem then contact this number. We would send some other person or persons, depending on your problem. Because this month is going to be extremely busy for everyone, it's better to use all resources. Anyways we would not recommend you use this number if you have very serious or official work if you do be sure to inform us. It should not be much of a problem if you are with the right person. Anyways, I should be going now! Take care"
She went just like she came, like an energetic wind. All that remained in class were the students and Mr Mascow; who were still processing what just happened. The energy Honomi Sensei carried was like, if you imagine an ideal young innocent woman and exaggerated the clumsy behaviors. it would paint somewhat of the same picture Honomi radiated to anyone who sees her for the first time.
"Ok, student. I think you all are clear on it now. From now you will be in their care. As for new information, they will be provided to you after you all are done with this month. There's still 45minutes left for the bell to ring. So you all can discuss. And please refrain from going outside, other teachers might still be explaining all this to other students. As for me I have lots of work to finish in the office so I will be leaving now. If there are any issues you can come to my desk."
Mr Mascow left the room and moments after he could not be seen walking in the corridor. All the chatter flooded back to class as the students started running their mouths; all kinds of things were the topic of debate, but obviously it revolved around what happened today and was to come.
