At exactly 8:00 am sixteen students arrived inside a classroom, all of them gasping for air because they ran all the way there.
"Wait let me breathe...hoo" Blair drew air inside his lungs as he dragged his body towards his seat.
The classroom they entered has tier rows of seats and tables similar to those found in auditoriums. Since the seats are elevated they provide a good visibility of the instructor and the board in front.
"We still have 30 minutes before the class officially starts we should take this time to recover"
While everyone looks exhausted from running from their dormitory to the class building, Apollo looks so fresh his classmates look at him strangely.
"This is unfair how come you don't look tired"
"It's because I am not"
"But we did run from our dorm to here"
"It doesn't really exhaust me"
"I have been meaning to ask this to you Apollo what is your rank?"
Matilda said looking curious at her friend's rank but Apollo just shook his head before approaching a seat at the back.
They tried to nag him, but it didn't work, he remained silent making his classmates give up.
A few minutes passed and their professor arrived.
"Good morning students my name is Gelda Mayors, and I will be your professor for History and Geography. I hope this year you'll learn something about my subject"
Everyone became quiet and Apollo too looked at her however for a different reason. He was scanning her to see if she had any connection with the monastery.
"She's clear," he thought while leaning back to his seat.
"Since it is my first time meeting you all I would like to hear you introduce yourselves"
Everyone nodded even though they already knew each other, they didn't mind introducing themselves to their professor.
"You start first" she pointed towards a spiky red-haired boy, gladly he stood up and looked at his classmates.
"Good morning professor Gelda and good morning to you my classmates, my name is Gelo Mckenzie 13 years old. My favorite color is orange and one of my hobbies is eating that's all, thank you" he then makes a slight bow before taking his seat again.
After Mckenzie, the blue-haired boy beside him stood up and made an introduction.
"My name is Blair Longfalls I am turning 13 next month I hope I get along with everyone"
He did a bow like Mckenzie while his friends were chuckling at his previous words.
Beside the two were a boy with green hair and the other boy with brown hair.
The one with hair similar to a forest stood and said "My name is Keith Frostfang it's my pleasure to meet you"
"Samael Juanfonso 13 years old"
Professor Gelda nodded her head whenever someone introduced themselves however deep down she was shocked.
The names of the commoners are actually based on where they came from. So in any village or town, there is only one surname being used except for baron or higher noble title and household.
And to the professor's surprise the places she heard from their names no longer exist as of this day. She clenched the magic pen she was holding trying hard not to ask them out of curiosity.
First was the city of Mckenzie which disappeared four years ago then the destruction Frostfang tribe of the north. Gelda felt weird as she heard more names from now-destroyed cities and villages.
"My name is Jillian Frostfang 13 years old"
"Arabella Juanfonso also 13 years old"
After the two girls introduced themselves another student stood up, her violet hair made the professor surprised.
"My name is Agnes von Elysium"
This time Gelda almost had a heart attack when she heard the name Elysium.
"Are perhaps a princess from the fallen kingdom of Elysium?"
"I am Apollo Lionheart 13 years old my hobbies are magic research and weapon creation"
"Wait weren't you rank first?"
"Yes professor"
"Then why are you enrolled here?"
"Well because I want to"
Professor Gelda almost collapsed hearing his reason.
"I don't think I'll be able to give a regular lecture here"
She massaged her head trying to relax her tense nerves.
"Alright let us start our lesson"
Without knowing what to say she decided to start the lecture.
Their first subject was History and Geography, some of the boys didn't like the subject since they had never been interested in the lives of old and dead people.
"I will first give all of you an overview of the topic we will tackle this entire school year.
First the history of the Empire.
The empire of Celestia was established roughly 2000 years ago by the greatest hero of that time, Julius von Celestio, 20 kingdoms set the throne and gave the crown to emperor Julius at that time. They believed he was the one that could continue to protect the entire continent"
"Under our subject, we will also tackle the following:
• Age of extinction
• Age of heroes
•The treaty of Abyss
• The creation of the empire and the
• War of Faith"
"Estimated three thousand years ago a massive breakout occurred devasting the entire continent of Brynar and the Black continent of Devilkind.
Then the Age of Heroes emerged which was led by the greatest hero of that time Julius von Celestio.
Then under the treaty of Abyss, we will learn how the devils on the black continent reach an agreement with the hero Julius"
"And lastly the creation of the empire after the great war of extinction and how the war of faith started"
Mckenzie clenches his head trying to understand the words coming out of their professor's mouth however history was something he never liked to begin with.
"Damn my head"
After one long hour of lecture professor Gelda finally ended the lesson as the second professor was about to enter.
"Good morning my name is Professor Timothy Aislestone and I will be your professor for beastmology"
"For now I shall give you an overview of our subject"
Without waiting for the students to adjust and absorb the previous lecture another professor came and started writing on the board.
• Magical beast
• Demon beast
• Metamorphosis
• Corruption
Then he went and wrote to the next board.
• Devil kind
"Now can anyone explain to me the difference between a magical beast, a demon beast and a Devil"
