Chapter 64: My first class in the academy (1)

I woke up early in the morning. It was a routine of mine that I wanted to continue. In the wilds, it may be different, where I have to sleep at odd hours and should always be vigilant of monster attacks but it was different when I am at home or now at the academy.

There are classes that I need to attend. In the first year, attending class is compulsory. The academy is strict in this matter. After all, we are all young, immature and inexperienced. It was not like there was a threat of war or an impending apocalypse at this point.

Though there are threats, the kingdom can improve in a slow and steady manner. It would be the best choice in the long run.

If the advancement increases too high in a short time, there is a high probability of falling down. So there was no rush at this point to push the young students to their early deaths.

These students would be improved step-by-step in an orderly fashion. It means training, training, and training for us, for two long years.

The academy would become lenient from the third year as long as you can keep up with others and improve your status.

At least, this was what my siblings have imparted about the academy.

Most nobles had attended this academy, so they knew mostly how the academy worked. There would be changes at times, but the core remains the same.

With my parents and recently my siblings, who have attended the academy, I have a lot of knowledge about the academy. I was already in the know about this training regime and I am more than happy about it.

Most of the time this year, I decided to improve various skills instead of increasing my EXP by hunting and thereby increasing my rank. It would be a waste of time.

She may have muttered so that it won't be audible to others but that was not a problem for me. I could hear her every word. It looks like she wore that dress on purpose, mostly to see who is lustful and who is dutiful to actually improve themselves.

She sensed me and was surprised to see that I didn't exhibit the same lustful expressions as others.

What can I say, I have lived an entire life before. As I remember those memories, I had to be very careful to act as a child in front of my parents or family. Otherwise, it would be disastrous.

Sometimes I genuinely acted like a kid, because I missed the innocence of a child. When I was a kid on Earth, I didn't know anything bad that was hidden in the world. I was free from the worries, which gradually disappeared as I grew up.

I kind of perfected my acting skills and now no one can see what I am thinking. I can perfectly show a different expression than the one that's currently occupying my mind, but that was like wasting my brain cells. So most of the time when I don't want others to know what I am thinking, I would just show a calm expression on my face.

There would be no expressions on the face at all. There are even no indications that I heard her muttering. I played the role very well.

The new teacher looked impressed by me. She saw that I was not lusting like others, though I was lusting after her more than others. She thought I was calm in her presence, which usually rouses lust in men around her.

A small smile appeared on her mouth for a second, approving my state of mind for a second before returning to the disgusted expression that appeared on her face after observing other male students.

Man, I have scored some brownie points with her. I should make better use of those points before someone can take her away.

While I was having dreams about how to make her mine, she introduced herself, "Hello students, My name is Angela Blazewood. I am your..."
