Chapter 9 : First Day

"Let's start from the attendance." Anne spoke while holding a paper that has a list of names.

"Leo Ashton."

A blonde haired young man with a pair of almond-shaped golden yellow eyes proceeds to stand up, showing his lean body. he spoked in front of everyone, "Good morning everyone, my name is Leo Ashton from Ashton clan, and I'll be in your care. Thank you."

Anne nodded at Leo, as he began sitting down. the professor proceeds to call out the next student.

"Lena Amary."

Standing up, a cold long silver haired beauty with a pair of white silver eyes can be seen in front of the class, she had a curvy petite body that shows it's elegance with an appearance that can make other countries wage war against each other.

Lena Amary, who was about to talk, suddenly got interrupted by a white haired young man with a pair of scarlet red eyes. The young man's eyes widened in shock as if he had seen a ghost but instantly calmed himself immediately using [ State of Calming Sea ].

"What's the matter?" Anne inquired.

"Nothing, it's just that Lena looked like someone I know, in the past." Lo spoke coolly.

Lena narrowed her eyes towards Lo, and replied, "Can you elaborate about who this girl might be?"

Staring at Lena, Lo responded coolly while gradually closing his eyes, "No. You don't have the right to know."

"...."

Lena continues to coldly stare at Lo as her murderous aura slowly leaks, while the white haired young man stays impassive as though it doesn't affect him at all. The atmosphere of the classroom gradually became intense, cold sweats began running down from a couple of students, while some got anxious, as the situation gradually became more intense.

A voice rang out through the classroom.

"Enough!" Anne spoke loudly, dispersing the whole intense atmosphere.

"It's the first day of class, please behave yourselves as all of you here are adults already!"

Anne proceeds to stare at Lo, "Young man, what's your name?"

"Lo."

"You'll be staying behind after the class, do you have any questions?"

"None." Lo replied coolly as though he wasn't interested.

Veins began popping out from Anne's forehead and thought inwardly, 'What a disrespectful student.'

"Sit down, Lo." Anne spoke indifferently.

"Lena, continue with your introdu..

...

Time gradually passed after Lena and a couple other students introduced themselves.

"Eleanor Enes."

A young woman with long blonde golden hair tied in a ponytail, a pair of forest green eyes and a curvy lean body, gradually stands up. Her appearance can be said to be one of the top ten beauties along with Lena and Aya inside the academy.

Eleanor energetically spoke, "Good morning everyone, my name is Eleanor Enes. I'm happy to meet everyone here, you can approach me if you have any questions in the future, as I will try to help. After all, we are classmates." she proceeds to smile sweetly after introducing herself, causing most boys in the class to blush.

Anne nods her head as she was satisfied with the introduction of Eleanor. the professor continued.

"Mary Lenora."

A long black haired young girl with a pair of black twilight eyes, and a slim petite body, slowly stands up. Her appearance can be described as the most beautiful young woman in the whole human domain, she is so beautiful that people might mistake her as the reincarnation of goddess of beauty herself.

Mary Lenora timidly spoke, "H-hello.. everyone.. I-I'm Mary Lenora, you can call.. me Mary."

"..."

"T-thats all, thank you.." Mary proceeds to sit down while covering her blushed face.

Anne shakes her head and continues to call the names.

...

When it was Lo's turn to be called, Anne's voice became cold and began to call him.

"Lo."

A white haired young man with scarlet red eyes, proceeds to stand up. He began introducing himself.

"Good morning, I'm Lo. don't mind me." Lo spoke impassively.

Anne responds to him with a cold tone, "Student Lo, may I ask a question if you don't mind? why do you always have that impassive face?"

Lo closed his eyes and began recalling the scene of Li Meili's corpse getting devoured by the creature, his murderous aura slowly leaked, its so strong that it began suffocating some of the students inside the class. as Anne was about to scold Lo.

Lo stopped leaking his murderous aura and responded impassively, "Something.. happened in the past, that's all."

The students look at Lo with fear in their eyes as though he was some beast. while Lena, Eleanor, Aya, Mary and Leo stare at Lo with interest.

Anne glared coldly at Lo and spoke, "I'll be giving you words of advice from this day on, do not cause trouble for the class. or you'll be seeing me and the principal soon."

Lo shrugs his shoulders and proceeds to sit down. He thought inwardly, 'Although I offended Anne Morela, who is a 6th Bluemoon rank. She can be said to be one of the best professors inside the academy as she had already taught countless power houses before.'

'However, she is no use to me. As I already have the novel's knowledge and I also plan on trying some of the theories I came up with, the only reason why I even came to the academy is because I would need to intervene in some of the situations behind the shadow, and also the high density of mana inside the academy. This is due to the relic called [ Arcane Mana Compressor ], this relic can gather the surrounding atmosphere mana into one spot and that is the Aleksia. '

Either way, offending Anne isn't really a bad thing for me. After all, she won't be pestering me around, she would blacklist me and begin perceiving me as an impolite student, which is what I am aiming to do. Ultimately I just want to have an ordinary student life as an extra and someone who views me as air.

Finish calling the names of the students, Anne began speaking

"First and foremost, I want to let all you here know that in Aleksia, we don't use AC as our currency. instead we use exchange points. exchange points can be obtained through missions, quests, gates, dungeons and other activities such as clubs, participating in academy exchange."

Anne continued, "Also we have already confiscated all of your personal weapons as it won't be allowed inside the academy, instead everyone here is obligated to use the training weapons provided by the academy, only when there will be dungeon exploration or gate hunting then are able to use your own personal weapons."

"Anyways, it's getting late. it's time for everyone here to pick their own training weapons for this year."

Anne looked at Lo coldly, "And you will be staying with me."
