Chapter 52: Afternoon Cla.s.s (4)
This first-year cla.s.s has experienced a very drastic decrease in students. In previous years, the number of students who became in the same batch year always numbered more than five hundred and sometimes even over a thousand but this year there were no more than three hundred new students.
After the introduction of the new students, information was obtained with two people with the highest status, namely the royal princess and the duke"s daughter. The two of them are the target of their list of potential friends at the top, as well as a mysterious girl who introduces herself as a girl who comes from home.
The new students wouldn"t believe that Elysia was a commoner even if they were beaten up and told to say that. Her behavior, her way of speaking, her manners, and her looks alone meet the criteria for being a n.o.ble.
At least that was what they thought about Elysia, they a.s.sumed she was actually a high-cla.s.s aristocrat playing the role of an ordinary person.
Unfortunately, there was one girl who didn"t care about it because she had met Elysia who had applied to the academy through the commoner room three days ago.
"It"s great that you have introduced yourself. Hopefully, you can get to know each other and maybe it will be useful in the future. This year we have a reduction of new students by 49 percent from the previous year because of the recent war..."
Teacher Ruth made another speech after all the students had finished introducing themselves. Speeches ranging from a decline in the number of new students, the fall of a city on the westernmost border to the recent events in Avrora Forest which have become a hot issue.
She needs to explain that to the new students so that they are not afraid or discouraged because it is because they will all be trained to be great people and lack of information is not an excuse.
Elysia is sitting sweetly while listening to Teacher Ruth eagerly. Apart from the explanation of the phenomenon in Avrora Forest and it was clear that it was her that caused the incident, Elysia was focused on the information she had heard from the gossip from the adventurers when she hid in a merchant carriage to sneak into the city.
Falsegarde City, the farthest city in the west that was closest to the Devil Continent had fallen after the war that took place there. Lots of knights and magicians died there without being buried with honor. It"s just one of the tragedies that have happened in recent times.
"Hahaha... The battle of the G.o.ds. They think your doing is the result of a battle between G.o.ds, Lil Ely!" Elena burst into laughter in the Soul Realm which made Elysia"s focus and mood who listened to the tragedy no longer feel heavy with grief.
"It"s an outstanding issue, news spreads fast but now it"s calm, I"m safe." Elysia replied back with a sigh of relief in her mind.
"All of them no one will find that you are the culprit and they will never think that the culprit is registering as a student in the best human academy!" Elena cheered cheerfully while wiping her tears after tired of laughing.
"Even if I get caught it"s not me, for I am a student in this academy and a disciple of myself in your form, Sister Elena."
"Oh yes, now you say it. So, are you your own disciple? Or are you my own disciple, Lil Ely?" Elena put her finger on her chin while guessing.
"Haven"t you made me your sister? So we are sisters." Elysia is helpless because of her sister"s cheerful nature.
"Right, hehe..." Elena just giggled happily.
"Besides the 293 new students enrolled in the first year, this year we have two students who failed the promotion exam and ended up staying in the first grade. Welcome to Brian Chapman and David Moore!" Teacher Ruth greeted the two students who failed to advance with honor, an honor that was like contempt.
The new students flinched slightly before looking at Brian and David who were sitting behind Elysia and a few of them stared at him with disdain and mocking whispers. Even Serena also looked at the two of them with contempt while spelling out words with her lips, lowly human.
"What is this? Are this humiliation and blasphemy? Bullying? Personal attack or something?"
Only Elysia did not look behind herself to look at the two men in question. She sank into an astonishing question about something that was happening right now.
"Even Teacher Ruth only smiled from her deliberate deed..."
When Elysia was thinking about it and felt sorry for the two men she met at the restaurant three days ago and before Elena could even answer Elysia, Brian who was sitting right behind her immediately hit her table to make a loud noise.
*Dang.*
He stood up because he felt displeased with the insulting gazes of the few students who were looking at him.
"What"s with that loser stare, huh! You think your talents are extraordinary? Indirectly, I"m one level above you! David and I failed the promotion exam for some reason I don"t want to tell you! If you guys are really great then prove you guys are better than me! This year I will start carving my own name in history!"
Brian excitedly shouted with pa.s.sion while looking with sharp eyes and pointing at the students who were looking at him contemptuously, but he pa.s.sed the students who were looking at him with curious eyes. David who sat beside his boss also stood up to intimidate the students as he folded his arms.
Unfortunately, when Brian saw that Elysia didn"t even turn around to look at himself as the others, he began to wonder in his mind. "She doesn"t care?"
He started to think negative and positive at the same time but Brian immediately threw away that thought and decided to ask her at another time.
All of them never thought and imagined that the loser they despised at this time would actually realize his dream in the future with his loyal va.s.sal, even that person himself never expected it either.
Brian"s excited shout managed to make several students who insulted him stop their whispers and looked away, followed by other students who just looked curiously.
The cla.s.s calmed down again and all the students looked back to the front, at Teacher Ruth who was smiling with delight.
"It"s good that you still have strong determination also not discouraged by your shortcomings, Brian and David. I wish you all the best this year. Hopefully what you said earlier can come true in the future." Teacher Ruth clapped her hands with a happy smile.
"It"s all a ruse, Lil Ely. The woman named Ruth is quite wise and smart." Elena nodded her head as if she knew what was on Ruth"s mind right now.
"Yes, I thought so too. She turned out to be a good teacher."
Elysia also understands what Teacher Ruth wants to achieve at this time by triggering new students and students who fail to advance. She has indirectly forced Brian and David to do even better this year, then prevented the two of them from receiving different treatment or further insults in the future.
Brian just snorted before returning to his seat and then folded his arms like a boss. David as a good va.s.sal immediately imitated Brian"s behavior with pleasure.
