Part 2 (Para._2_)Explore the school and come across a white-haired man
The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit.

"Yes," I replied. “I’m wondering what life is going to be like here. "
"Don't worry,” he gave me a smile. "You'll soon find out.”

I had been too nervous to pay attention when he introduced himself! Although I was embarrassed, his words made me a lot more relaxed!
