BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15 15 – 2nd Class
Before going to the building where the class was held, I returned to the commoner dorm and went out, walking.
It would be strange if no one saw me walk out of the dorm when I was supposed to be there, no? Especially when there was an inspector sitting at the entrance since last night, noting the student that went out of the dorm.
I didn\'t know anyone besides Eliza and Emilia yet, so my walk toward the main building was lonely. What a life… I should make some friends too so they could help me protect my reputation in the future. Well, not that it would be hard after Sana arrived in the Academy and announced me as the new Paladin.
Many people would flock toward me, especially the noble kids. They would try to make a connection with me, making it easier for me to gain popularity and push the protagonist to the side.
\'If possible, I would like to kill him and get done with it. Unfortunately, though, he would just revive at the Castitas Church after he got killed as he had registered in it when he arrived in the Virtue Kingdom.\'
That was the reason why I didn\'t lash out and only kept Adam in check instead of outright antagonizing him. Honestly, the incident in the café was really beneficial to me.
\'Slowly, I will make the students in Royal Academy think that Adam is just a douchebag who tried to hit any girls he met.\'
Only then would his influence decrease, and his helper lose interest in him. If that didn\'t work, then I would try to find an item to be able to kill him permanently. That item should\'ve existed in this world; it was just impossible if that kind of item didn\'t exist.
Then how would they execute a criminal if they would just keep coming back? The King of Virtue Kingdom or someone in Sin Kingdom must have had a clue about something like that.
"Arthur!"
Speaking of which, the only person I knew in this Academy besides Emilia called out to me in a loud voice as I walked down the main hall.
I turned around and saw Eliza\'s figure walking at a fast pace toward me while waving her hand.
"Good morning. Did you sleep well? I heard the commoner dorm has a hard bed to sleep in." She greeted me with a refreshing smile and then asked me worriedly. Her mood seemed to be good, maybe because I had accompanied her until night yesterday.
"Good morning, Eliza." I greeted back with a smile. "Don\'t worry. The bed is better than my previous one."
I didn\'t lie. The bed in Emilia\'s room was really soft and was even better than the one I had back in my mansion in Horizon Online.
The furniture and technology in Sins Paradise had higher quality than in the war-filled world such as Horizon Online. That was something I really appreciated when I woke up this morning.
"That\'s good then." She replied with a nod. Her smile returned. Then she took my hand, pulling me with a bit of force. "Let\'s go! We will be late if we don\'t hurry to the class."
I just let her lead me around. It was kinda cute and a bit childish. Anyway, the reason why I liked Eliza and wanted to get her, even though her personality was a bit troublesome, was because she reminded me of someone.
\'... I believe that\'s the reason.\'
If I had something to learn in my 5 years in Horizon Online, then it was that.
\'I just need to love someone I hold dear, so I won\'t lose them ever again.\'
***
We arrived at the class at the same time the bell rang. I sat in the seat in the middle with Eliza when I noticed Adam was sitting at the top corner of the room, the backmost seat.
The class at Royal Academy was divided into four. Classes 1 and 2 were reserved for noble daughters and sons with the position of Viscount and above.
Students in Class 1 had better grades than Class 2, and each class had more than 100 students, unlike Class 3 and 4, which only had around 50 to 60 students.
Class 3 was a mix of lower noble sons and daughters with commoners with high grades. The daughters and sons of Barons and Knights entered this class. Eliza was a daughter of a Baron, while I apparently had a grade high enough to enter this class with her.
A few seconds after the bell rang, Emilia entered the class with a strict look. Her hips swayed left and right as she walked toward the podium without changing her expression.
Many male students looked at her with lustful eyes, making me scoff in a low voice because they wouldn\'t be able to touch her anymore as I marked her as mine.
She glanced at me for a second, noticing that I was in her class, before looking around. Well, I should praise her for not playing favorites and could still keep her expression.
"Alright, class." Her voice echoed in the lecture hall, shutting down the small mutters from a few students whispering to each other. "I will go through the list. Raise your hand when your name is called."
As she said that, she began to call the name written on the paper inside the binder one by one. When I was called, I raised my hand slightly, and she continued.
After everyone\'s name was called, Emilia closed her binder and leaned against the podium with her hands.
"Today is the start of our real lesson. As you know, the Royal Academy also teaches self-defense. That\'s why today we will have a joint self-defense class with Class 4. For the record, Class 1 and 2 had their classes yesterday, and we tested their skills. Today is your turn."
Restlessness spread among the students in class. The sons and daughters of Knight and Mage were excited because they could show off their skills in this class while those who loved literature groaned. Even in a world where monsters exist, people who hated fighting still existed.
They were afraid that they couldn\'t do well and that their grades would plummet.
"Don\'t worry." Emilia smiled for the first time, successfully charming these naïve students. Then she threw the bait. "Your grade won\'t be affected by the test. But… there will be a bonus point for those who do well."
Maybe it was my imagination, but she glanced at me when she said that. I see…
\'She has known about my capability. That\'s why she glanced at me.\'
"Well then, the instructor has been waiting at the training ground. Change your clothes in the changing room near the training ground. There should be training clothes prepared in that place." She explained as she walked toward the door and opened it.
Then she clapped her hands, "Get moving right now! You have 10 minutes to move, or you will fail the class!" She shouted with a commanding tone and serious expression.
Some students with weak wills shrieked at her loud voice, but the rest with a strong will, especially the children of a knight, moved immediately. Of course, I also moved almost immediately with Eliza.
This girl unexpectedly had a strong will.
When I passed Emilia, who stood menacingly at the side of the door with her arms crossed under her massive tits, I could hear her whisper.
"Good luck."
The other students mistook it as her encouraging the students in her class, but I knew for the better that she said that to me.
\'What happened with the secrecy?\' I thought. Maybe her teacher mode wasn\'t as perfect as I thought. Her hidden desire was still mixed in!
Still, I praised her for not showing it off. I thought this much was still okay.
