I first realized something was wrong with this high school.

It was the second month after the start of the school year.

One day at noon, I went to the cafeteria to have lunch.

I forgot to wear my school uniform jacket.

The disciplinary head, who was patrolling the cafeteria, caught me red-handed.

He had a big belly, a stern face, and criticized me severely:

"How many times have the teachers emphasized this! The school uniform is your face!"

"What kind of student doesn't wear a school uniform?!"

"If you can forget to wear your school uniform today, tomorrow you could forget to answer a multiple-choice question!"

I lowered my head honestly, admitting my mistake and promising it wouldn't happen again.

The disciplinary head snorted coldly and said:

"If you forget to wear your school uniform again next time, don't come to the cafeteria to eat, starve!"

I maintained a sincere attitude on the surface, but deep down, I felt a bit indignant.

Especially during the moments of queuing for food, the more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became.

I just couldn't understand.

What does wearing a school uniform have to do with eating in the cafeteria?

How does forgetting to wear a school uniform lead to forgetting to answer a multiple-choice question?

It's simply absurd!

I angrily slammed the tray onto the table.

Just as I sat down,

My vision suddenly blurred.

And when I opened my eyes again,

The steaming hot food in the tray,

Had turned into rotten chunks of meat and wriggling maggots.

And a nauseating stench filled the air.
