The grand hall was quite big but there were not many students inside it. The main reason for that was because the number of people who could awaken a symbol were far and few between. So the amount of students who joined this special school were not many.
Even among the few students who would be Rein's classmate, he was in a special position as a UR grade Blessed. So he was allowed to sit in one of the five private rooms to watch the welcoming ceremony. But Rein did not do that and simply took a seat among the regular students.
Rein was extremely handsome and even more than that did not look like a 10 year old. Even though all the Blessed had a high growth rate, looking like a 15 or 16 year old was still extremely unusual. So Rein was attracting a lot of attention.
But he did not mind all this attention and calmly waited for the ceremony to begin. A dozen or so more students appeared after Rein and also took their seat. One student even went to sit in the private room while looking at the other students condescendingly.
After about half an hour, the teachers started appearing and finally the main ceremony began. The current principal was the first person to go on the stage to address the new students. He was a middle aged man who looked unassuming but Rein could feel that he was quite a strong fighter.
Obviously he was nowhere near his or Sophia's level but still he was not weak at all. Actually that made sense. This man was a veteran who had been fighting for the nation for over 15 years and was also a SR grade Blessed. So it was completely normal that he was quite powerful.
After the principal a few teachers also came to the stage and told the students about the school and how they were expected to behave. Normally all the students would get bored in this kind of setting but all the teachers who came to the stage were celebrated heroes of the nation and were extremely famous.
So seeing them taking in person was extremely exciting for most of the students, so they were not bored at all.
When everyone arrived at a somewhat empty part of the school, the class teacher suddenly attacked Rein. A bluish light started to glow his soldier and seven large serpents appeared beside him and attacked Rein. This attack was definitely very sudden but Rein was perfectly ready and all the serpents immediately got frozen. And after some time they all turned into dust after dying.
Seeing that Rein was able to deal with his powerful attack without much trouble, a ruthless expression appeared on the teacher's face. He then took out a red pill and ate that. Immediately the bluish light on his shoulder became even brighter.
The class teacher summoned the snakes again and this time all the snakes looked stronger than before. They were longer and thicker than before. Again the seven snakes attacked Rein from all sides.
This red pill was called "Overclocking Pill". This was not Rein's first time seeing this pill as many assassins who had attacked him before had used this pill. This pill was able to boost the power of someone's symbol for a short amount of time and it was extremely rare.
But the side effects of this pill could even be fatal so the blessed were advised to avoid it or to use it only in a do or die situation.
But this teacher was just a R grade Blessed so even with overclocking, he was not that big of a deal. A wall of fire appeared before Rein to block the snakes. As soon as that happened a sly smile appeared on the teacher's face and he threw something toward Rein.
A loud explosion happened in the area where Rein was standing. The radius of the explosion was small but the power was very high. Seeing that the teacher started smiling as his plan to make Rein use a fire ability and then use that same fire to ignite a powerful flame stone was a great success. All the students also looked at the area of explosion with worry.
So, would Rein be able to withstand this powerful explosion ?
