Chapter 66: My training in the academy (1)

Angela was waiting at the far end of the corridor when we got out of the class. I was among the first to leave the class, and from the expression on her face, I would say that she was impressed. After seeing us, she turned around the corner and disappeared.

Seeing her disappear, we increased our speed so that we could catch up with her, which I am sure is not going to happen unless she has reached the destination.

As I thought, she would appear and disappear within seconds. This was to make sure that we knew where we were headed and did not lose the way. I don't know what others were thinking but Angela looks like she is enjoying this.

The others I don't know whether they observed it or not, we have been walking for half an hour and we passed a common place quite a few times.

When I understood what she was doing, I slipped away from the others and entered the supposed destination. It was a gamble on my part, but from the first minute Angela appeared in the class, she didn't seem to be a normal teacher.

If I am right, she should be testing our 'Directional Sense'.

It's not like we have GPS in this world. Though there are airplanes, they still depend on the good old stars and sun in the sky to estimate their direction of travel.

If a person doesn't have knowledge about where they are and where we were walking, it would end in one way, death.

We are all fighting professionals. Professionals like Alchmists or Blacksmiths are not in these six classes. They have separate classes depending on their profession. They don't fight, and so they don't usually go out without an escort.

However, we are different. Others would depend on us when we leave the city borders and losing track of where we are would lead to a lair of some dangerous monsters and would probably end up in its belly.

The first rule of survival is to never initiate a fight. After all, the demise of a person is due to a fight involving that person either directly or indirectly.

While she continued berating others, she gave a look of approval. She was very pleased with how I acted, from the first minute.

Though I was lusting after her body, I didn't show any fluctuations on my face. Then when she walked out of the room, I was one of the first who started to follow her. Most of all, I was the only one who was able to detect that she was testing us when she gave us a tour of the academy.

Hahaha, one day I surely would get her to warm my bed. That day would arrive sooner than later. On that day, I could...wait why am I wasting time dreaming about that now? I can enjoy her when the time comes. For now, let's concentrate on the training. This is the best way to increase her favorability.

Angela then directed the students to pick their weapons and train against the puppets that were arranged beforehand. These puppets, though didn't attack, they are very mobile.

Angela approached me, and said, "Magnus, I see that you are a spellcaster, and your choice of weapon is a staff and you are very good at using the staff as a weapon to beat your opponent. I can help with your casting but unfortunately, I can't help with the staff as I am a Blade user and have never used Staff Arts before. I'll arrange someone for you".

Damn it, if she arranges someone else, I would lose the chance of getting to know her better. I need to come up with something that not only lets me keep in touch with her but also would be useful to me.

Hmm, there is something that can achieve both. Hehehe, in fact, it can help me keep in "touch" with her.

"Mrs. Blazewod, there is something I like to ask?" I spoke to her.

She smiled and said, "What is it, Magnus?"

"Do you know Hand Combat Arts?" I asked her.

"Yes", she replied, confused by my question.

Haha, there still is a chance of getting my hands on her. My luck is good. I wonder what my luck value actually is.
