CH 213

The following day, after class division, classes begin from today.

The classes of <Combat Department> are mainly divided into three types: general, combat, and elective.

The classes at Labyrinth Academy differ for each major and department, and the combat department we have opted for has many classes about combat in addition to general classes.

The three compulsory subjects of general classes are national language, mathematics, and history.Subjects other than these three come in elective classes with the policy of letting students develop the skills they themselves reach out for.

Dungeon capture, jobs, parties, and dungeon specific items are the compulsory subjects of combat classes. Both of them are equally developed through classroom lectures and practical skills.

For the rest, you can take elective classes.

The elective classes are a combination of other departments, and students can choose and take classes of their own choice without being separated by major.

For example, you can study production or trade even if you belong to the combat department and acquire the skills to become what you want in the future. It can be said to be an important class which refines an individual's traits.

It's also a place to meet with classmates from other majors.

And so on, was explained by Phyllis-sensei, the newly appointed beautiful teacher.

"I'm going to distribute the time table and pamphlet about elective classes. Elective classes themselves will start from next Friday, so Sensei beseeches all of you to select the elective classes everyone is inspired for and hand them in by then. "

Right now is the long homeroom time, where Phyllis-sensei was explaining the ins and outs of academy life.

While Ladvena-sensei sits beside the window, watching the students and Phyllis-sensei.Maybe it's because of her presence that students are looking a bit restless.

Well, today's the day the academy life has started in the proper sense, so I guess it's natural they are excited in the beginning.

"That's all. Does anyone have any doubts? If everything's clear, we will be starting with self-introduction.

Seeing no one had any doubt, Phyllis-sensei asked for the row of boys sitting alongside the wall on the hallway side to start introducing themselves.

Hmm... self-introduction, perhaps? This part is not much different from schools in Japan.

"I'm the <Great Sorcerer> Saturn. Consider it your honour that I will be leading your class. "

... leaving aside the content of self-introduction, which isn't normal at all.

"Fufu. The one before me was slightly lacking in elegance. I'm <Sword Saint> Jilong, and I'm more fit to lead the class. "

"Patience is a virtue, you know? I'm <Barbarian> Tom. I'm confident no one is better than me for leading the class. "

"Now you're putting this lord in a tough spot by forgetting about me. This lord is <Knight> Helck. I will be the one at the helm and lead the class. "

Why in the world are they scrambling for a leader position in their self-introduction? Or, for that matter, that pompous guy at the end, acting like a bigshot, no one knows who he is.

I racked my brain to try to guess as to why the male students were glaring at each other one after another.

As someone who naturally skips whatever content classes in the game <Dungeon Activity> has, this topic comes in a blind spot.

Maybe that's the norm in reality? I guess I found something new to fill my thirst for knowledge about the real <Dungeon Activity>.

Anyway, it didn't continue for long as a protestor appeared. The protestor was none other than our reliable Princess, Lana.

"Hey there, can you give me a break already? You guys are really tasteless to have such pointless competition."

"How can you say its 'pointless'?"

"Fufu, interesting. You think there's someone better than me? "

The <Great Sorcerer> and the <Sword Saint> who had introduced themselves at the very beginning, overreacted to Lana's words.

Why the heck are they so brimming with overconfidence? Ahh, Lana turned her gaze to me.

She tucked her chin, with the "end this farce already" order written on her face.

Huh? What does she want me to say in that strained atmosphere? I?

That..... It doesn't sound that bad, I think. Let's do it!

"How about you reveal your level if you're so confident?"

"Huh?"

"Youuu! Are you that <Brave>?"

When I, who was sitting on the last seat in the rows for boys, stood up and said so, the two boys turned their attention to me.

I haven't introduced myself, but it seems <Knight> and <Barbarian> are already informed about me. Forgive me <Knight>, for I don't know you.

"The academy advocates ability over anything else. Then you understand it, don't you? "

The four people, when they realised what I was trying to say, instantly regained their calm. They conduct themselves as if they already recognised themselves as superior to others.

Huh? That's absolutely impossible. Don't they know I'm on the same level as Lana, who gave the freshmen speech? As I was thinking about that, the <Great Sorcerer> Saturn-kun stepped forward and said.

"Interesting, very well. But be prepared for the upcoming treatment when you realise your shortcoming, <Brave>. Listen! I'm Saturn! A Lv17 <Great Sorcerer>, Saturn!"

"So weak!?"

He was weaker than I expected.

However, it seems no one shares the same sentiments as me. As the other three seem to have lost their cool after hearing it,

"Fufu. Th- That's strange. It seems out of my calculations. "

"17!? Ridiculous."

"Whaaaat!? Even higher than this lord! "

No-No, the only thing ridiculous here is your guy's reaction.

Saturn-kun, after looking over his shoulder to see the other three losing their composure, returned his gaze to me, brimming with confidence.

"How was it? Now are you going to tell me your level? "

Woah, he's making an excessively triumphant expression!? Though, he kind of looks like a clown to me.

Now then, what should I do? Should I reveal the truth and break his fragile heart?

I turned to look at Lana, who gave a thumbs-up while looking awfully happy.

The green light is lit. There was no other option but to reveal it. May you be stronger in the next life, the fragile heart of Saturn-kun.

"I'm Zephyr. Job <Brave>, and my level is...... 50 "

".... Hmm? Sorry, can you say it again? I think I just had auditory hallucinations. "

It seems the fragile heart of Saturn-kun thinks it was an auditory hallucination, seemingly unable to accept the reality.

Alright, I'm going to say it loud and clear for him to hear this time.

"I'm Zephyr! Zephyr with the <Brave> job, Lv50! "

"Wh-what did you say?!?"

Together with the startled shriek of Saturn-kun, a buzz engulfed the classroom.

Everyone's eyes turned to me, the classmates sitting next to me whispering to each other.

Hmm... that is kind of satisfying.

Returning my attention to Saturn-kun, his feet were wobbling uncontrollably like a fawn. One more push.

"On a side note, all the members of my guild <Eden> are over Lv 30."

"Whhaaaatt!!??"

With the follow-up attack on Saturn-kun, his shrieking echoes in the classroom once again.

It seems the HP of Saturn-kun has emptied down to 0. So it is for the other boys behind him.

"That's enough. Let's proceed with the next, it's girls' row's turn this time. "

After that, Phyllis-sensei proceeds with the self-introduction as if nothing had happened.

The four of them were urged to move to their respective seats, looking absent-minded, as if their soul had left their body.

T/N : My bad, apparently adding illustration will take one more day since whom I had asked how to do has their pc busted.
