Ch17 - Classes

Ren Lumenbreaker, the principal of Novius Academy. He's referred to throughout the lands as Swenhera's Child of War.

He spent ten years there since the age of 11, he become the youngest general, and eventually rose to the rank of SS. 

That is the man who just entered the room, the professor of the first year's Class S. 

Due to the unique nature of the S Class, he chose to be the first-year teacher of the class to ensure our growth. 

A sword, a spear, and a bow slung across his back, all pitch-black cracking in red tears up and down.

Deep black hair and piercing red eyes that radiated an aura of danger as if you should avoid this man at all costs. 

At 28 years old he is by far the youngest SS rank individual and his appearance shows this.

They say the man makes the outfit, and while his clothes are utterly bland, they seem completely different on the man before me. 

A swishing sound cut through the air as he drew his blade, a beautiful deep black katana. 

Red cracks carving themselves up and down the blade.

"Your blades, I'd recommend you draw them."

Swish–the whistling sound of air,

[Space Magic: Hardened Space]

A barrier along the axis of space formed around me.

"Neat trick, I thought it was interesting the first time I saw it."

'How?'

I knew he was fast and that he'd instantly flash behind me, 

but his sword.

Through pure strength, my barrier was breaking.

Without mana or even enhancements, he's cracking a barrier inside a parallel dimension. 

[Space Magic: Hardened Space]

I reinforced the barrier as I saw Arianna instantly get cut down by his blade.

It was effortless, as if swatting a fly, he annihilated defense's as if they were complete butter.

Lily's strongest magic barrier, the devouring abyss, Lucas' illusions, Arianna's world tortoise shell.

"That's enough, I'd rather not have you sit there and watch."

Mana channeled through his sword, and boom–just like that I was cut down. 

Before I could even react, all I saw was an exponential growth in mana. 

Then, I had already fallen, a trail of blood red coming from where?

My arm?

My leg?

No clue.

"Your defenses are strong, but space magic lacks efficient damage."

His voice clear and stern, it showed no mockery or malice. It was just a simple comment he made about my skills. 

"In the future, I doubt anyone could even lay a head on you without a good Sword Aura or Intent. High Magic Spells would also do the trick."

He simply sat there deep in thought as he was going through all the ways to defeat me in the war. 

The door opened...

Professor Dunkirv was standing right there. 

'He really is a war-born child. His mana began automatically channeling the moment he realized someone was coming towards us.'

"Kid, come on. You have Advanced Mana and Spell Mechanics III."

"Huh? Aren't I too young?"

'Lily made a huge splash in the world just by getting into Advanced Mana and Spell Mechanics her first year and now I'm at the final class of it.'

"What are you talking about? Your theoretical skills are better than half the stupid colleagues I have to work with."

Novius Academy had the Main Class, and three supplementary classes based on your department. 

I had Advanced Mana and Spell Mechanics III, Intermediate Mana Efficiency and Control II, and Beginner Applications of Magic Circles II. 

Class S all takes level II classes or above as the number correlates to the year. 

I - First Year Class, II - Second Year Class, and III - Third Year Class. 

And now here I was in an advanced third year class, Professor Dunkirv "kindly" saved me one of the front row seats. 

The lecture was incredibly...

boring. 

'I already know half of this stuff; I really don't see a point.'

At some points, I could even feel half of my brain falling asleep like a dolphin. 

After an hour of this, I was finally free.

'Finally.'

"Oh, by the way, Lucien will be the guest professor when I'm away."

"Huh?"

"What?"

"When did I agree to that?"

"Right now, now scram, out of my class."

'I really regret telling Professor Dunkirv about my dream now. Maybe next he'll even try and make me his assistant.'

"Hah..."

'I don't even know why they bother putting S class into classes. They're not even here most of the time.'

Class S was a unique class, in which instead of practical test or learning. The class goes out on missions throughout the year. You can take online classes and or learn on your own with recorded archives of classes. 

'And we still get final exams on them. I wanna drop out.'

The day went by just like that, a boring normal day, with no attacks or demons. Definitely no wyverns but knowing the people here they'd easily take care of it. 

Most of the time I was just on my phone in which notifications had just started to pop up again.

[Best Generation EVERRRRR - 10+ messages]

'Let's see...'

[Lucas - would you rather kiss cale or do lucien]

[Arianna - tf]

[Cale - Can you actually shut up?]

[Maria - diung wjst whith lyvpien]

[Lily - Nothing]

[Lucas - can you guys answer]

[Lucien - Kill yourself]

[Lucas - oh hi friend]

[Lucien - Actually kill yourself] 

'That man seriously has something wrong with him.'

A notification than popped up...

It felt like my heart just ran out my body and into incoming traffic. 

I couldn't see if I was red or not, but my entire face was heating up.

[Lily - Cale is my brother?]

[Lucas - So you'd rather fuck Lucien]

The group chat just went dead silent for a couple of minutes, but as always.

[Lucas - Me too lowkey he's mad hot luckily he's single am I right]

[Cale - very very very very very single]

[Lucien - Fuck you cale]

[Henry - Try not to teach Maria any new words she's still young]

[Maria - Wth I jhxt dpn't use thjm.]

"Hah..."

'Why do you care so much? It's just Lucas twisting up words, nothing else.'

I reminded myself, I can't think like that ever, I can't think about well love.

'Not in this life, not again. I should go practice some magic. It's probably just teenage hormones.'

Her figure was undoubtedly amazing, a slim body and yet still full of curves, a perfect hourglass figure.

'That author really is some guy, definitely a guy.'

Their name was never revealed, but I made an educated guess. 

'I mean yeah...'

"Hah... I really need to stop being so socially awkward."

Author's Note:

Late probably not that good chapter, I have a lot of work I have to do so probably slower updates till I get stuff done.

Maybe like 1-3 more chapters this week.
