Chapter 18 Life At The Academy(1)

"Yo, Pendragon, are you for real?"

"I just don't understand. Are you one of those attention seekers? This is the first time I've heard of someone choosing a gun at Freljord."

On the way to the dorm, a group of guys struck up a conversation. I simply ignored their sarcastic remarks.

Seeing me unaffected by their provocations, the group left after snickering to themselves.

As expected of teenage boys, they were more interested in female students than messing with a average guy like me.

speaking of female students, I remembered that our class also had some beauties.

Julia von Rozental - the red haired beauty, Luna Primrose - The white angel, Regena B Alpere - the Royal princess of the Mauryan empire. These three girls, whose beauty surpassed that of common sense were all in Kshatriya class.

While I observed them with a side-glance, we arrived at the dorm.

"Here are the dorms for the first years", Professor Keating said.

Four extravagant skyscrapers stood in front of me.

According to Professor Keating, each building had 10 floors, each consisting of 25 rooms.

The whole of first year would be staying in these 4 building, divided based on the classes.

The rooms were distributed according to grades of entrance exam, I had a pretty good score now that I think about it, it wasn't easy to get into Kshatriya class after all.

But even if one's grades were dead bottom, they would still have their own room as long as they were the students in Freljord Academy.

The top three male and top three female students would get separate housing built in midst of the four dorm buildings.

It was sign of luxury and dominance.

Of course, it is possible for other students to experience that privilege if they challenge and beat them in the duel arena which will take place once every month in Freljord academy.

There were also some rule for challenging the top 6.

First, the one who wanted to challenge them should have below 50 ranking, which also is updated monthly based on the performance of a student in both theory and practical classes.

Second, the duel must be overseed by an one of the senior instructors of Freljord Academy.

And finally, no cheating was allowed, if any manipulation, which affects the duel were to be observed, then the student responsible for it will be punished with immediate expulsion

Everything was maintained with order in Freljord Academy.

"Guys are to the right, girls are to the left. The key to your rooms will be your own finger prints, 'Identity recognition magic' has been already cast on your dorms, so don't worry about anyone invading your private space."

While Professor Keating explained, other first year classes arrived.

If I remembered correctly, the first year classes were Kshatriya, Brahmana, Vaishya, and Shudra – a total of four classes consisting of 250 students each.

'Should I try looking for some future talents?'

I knew who will achieve what in the future not only achievements I also know about which students will raise into high position, who all will get stronger and many more information, so I was thinking if it would be advantageous for me to be friendly with them.

'Well, there will be many opportunities in the future.'

It was still the first day of the academy, there were still four years to spare.

For now, I was tired due to everything that happened today, I just wanted to go to my dorm and sleep.I think you should take a look at

***

The room assigned to me was a decent room attached with a bathroom and toilet, it came with a couch, bed, textbooks for the first year delivered directly, the weapons I choose during the class today, some magic tools and training equipment that I remember to have requested in my past life during the admission.

I looked at all of it and thought,

"... I still can't get used to it."

Slouching down on the comfy couch, I pondered.

The weight of the magic-powered gun in my hand didn't feel real.

What was that artifact that sent me back in time? will it have any side effects? Who was that monster that killed our mercenary group? there were many questions in my mind.

But I also knew that I couldn't find answers for any of that questions right now too.

Anyway, seeing the gun at my hand, a thought came to my mind.

'Should I try shooting it to see its power?'

"Mmm..."

I thought of something good.

Jumping up from the couch, I aimed at the wall and closed my left eye. Just when I was about to pull the trigger...

—ding dong

The bell rang.

A voice rang out beyond the door.

—Rank 248, Eren Pendragon. Your Luggage has arrived.

Throwing the gun on the couch, I opened the door.

It was a golem controlled by magic, it just placed the language in front of my room seeing me and left.

It was a fairly big box.

It was the box that contained my clothing and other required things which was sent from my home, the Pendragon Barony.

I picked up the box and brought it in.

[Freljord Academy Entrance Exam Rank 248, Eren Pendragon, Personal belongings.]

Rank 248!

I just barely met the qualifications for Kshatriya class!

With a smirk, I placed the box on side and jumped on the bed.

It was time to get some good rest.
