Standing beside the window, untouched by the freezing wind, Yuna lowered her hand and then faced the whole css. Her cold yet beautiful tenance erfectly plemented by the cold wind.
"Pead quiet is nice, isn't it?" [Yuna]
Yuna said sweetly with a gentle smile at the end, but for the students, it wasn't ge all. It was a smile which made cold chills run throughout their whole body. It was a devil's smile.
Although it was still the first day they had met Yuna, fear was already carved deep within them, not just on their hearts but on their whole being. They saw Yuna as a being that must not be offe all cost.
All Yuna did was a single move and the students already became obedient. While there could have beeer ways, one couldn't deny how effective it was tn in the rowdy students.
It was still our first day yet a spectacur se had already taken pce. Although beautiful, it was also quite the dangerous one. Grey became quite worried about their academy life after Yuna's dispy.
"Hey, Yuna." [Grey]
"What is it?" [Yuna]
"Promise me that you'll never fire that spell or any other spell above the low level
towards a student." [Grey]
"Grey, you worry too much. It's just to scare them a little." [Yuna]
While Grey knew Yuna wouldn't do such things without any good reasoill made sure to remind her. Especially with an arrogant student in her css, there was no telling what could happen.
Though, for the Headmaster who overheard her response. He had airely differeion. It wasn't only the students, he also became terrified when Yuna suddenly froze the training ground.
To him, Yuna's words sounded more like a threat. If she had do only to give the students a little scare, he could only imagine what would have happened if Yuna was serious. He was pletely overwhelmed.
"Haah... That wasn't just a little care, you know. You should apologize to the headmaster for what you did." [Grey]
"ht. Sorry, headmaster." [Yuna]
Yuna bowed her head to the headmaster, asking for an apology. As for the person receiving the apology, his eyes were still glued to the spectacle outside. He only snapped back to reality when Yuna apologized.
"Ah, Y... Yes..." [Arnelius]
The Headmaster stopped thinking about the worst outes and corrected himself a little bit. He was able tain his posure only after a few seds, uhe students who were still frozen in shock.
"A... Alright css, listen up! Instructor Yuna will be your new instructor for three whole weeks. Make sure to listen and follow her instrus well, uand?!" [Arnelius]
"""Yes!""
Taking what the headmaster said to the deepest parts of their hearts, the students voiced their agreement loudly with their hands and bodies still trembling evidently, trying to avoid Yuna's eyes as much as they could.
Even Gee, who was full ance just a few moments ago, couldn't do anything but swallow his pride and agree to the Headmaster's words. He ched his fists tightly as he lowered down his pride, his eyes full of hatred.
"Then my job here is done. Instructor Yuna, I leave the students to your care." [Arnelius]
"Un." [Yuna]
"Well then, Instructrey. Let's get going, shall we?" [Arnelius]
"Then I'll be following your lead, Headmaster." [Grey]
The Headmaster on the lead, the two headed out the room, leaving the students into Yuna's care. As for the person iion, she happily waved her hand as she said goodbye to Grey.
Although Grey was a little worried about Yuna ag reckless agaiill left the room and headed to his assigned css, deg to trust her judgement. With it, Yuna had started her job as an instructor.
"Headmaster, I apologize for Yuna's as. She really is reckless sometimes, but she isn't a bad girl. I hope you uand." [Grey]
"It's alright. I've also made the earth shake with magi not oo bme her. Still, that Beldon really is a fool. If Instructor Yuna was someoh a short temper, he would have been done for." [Arnelius]
"Beldon... You mean that arrogant student from before?" [Grey]
Grey pretended as if he didn't know who the Headmaster was talking about. He had no pns to expose any of his abilities. Yuna and Galderia's Guildmaster were enough people to know.
"Although his attitude is the worst, he's still one of the three stro in his year, alongside cadets Landevar and Geldoria. They'll surely be a great asset to the kingdom iure." [Arnelius]
The headmaster ended his statement with a lengthy and exhausted sigh, with his thumb ping the middle of his brows. His exhaustion was evident, not physically but mentally.
Grey didn't eveo guess, the Headmaster's expression was enough to tell that it wasn't the first time Beldon had caused his trouble. Just thinking about him made the Headmaster look like he aged a few years.
"That Cadet... Is he the son of some big shot?" [Grey]
"You could say that. He's Marquis Beldon's first son." [Arnelius]
It was then that Grey uood the Headmaster's frustration. After all, the position of Marquis is amongst the highest in the kingdom, only after the position of King, Duke, and a couple of officers.
Not only that, being the first son, there was a very high ce that he was the heir to the title of "Marquis Beldon". Iure, he would surely be amongst the highest ranking officers of the kingdom.
While it is not unon for women to be the head of the family, most families still choose their sons to tiheir legacy. After all, women mostly bear their husband's family er marriage.
Grey had only met good-natured nobles in his time in Merusia that he pletely fot that such sobles also existed. He didn't want him or Yuna to be caught up with their antics.
"But unlike his son, His Excellency, Marquis Beldon is a fair and reasonable person. It fuses me where he ied his attitude from." [Arnelius]
The Headmaster mumbled to himself as he tried to find an ao his owion. As frey, he only thought of them as some kind of troublesome family. Something which could be found anywhere o.
tinuing their exge, the Headmaster and Grey tinued heading trey's assigned css. And of course, on the way there, he cleared the icy mess that Yuna made.
"We're here." [Arnelius]
Uhe year 2's alpha css, the of year 3's alpha css was very quiet. It was so quiet it was deafening. While most headmasters would be happy with such peacefulness, the Headmaster was different. He looked like he was having a headache.
"Headmaster, is it always this quiet?" [Grey]
"Well... One of the students here has a dete-type ability. She must have told the css that there were people ing." [Arnelius]
Though, trary to Grey's expectations, it wasn't that the students were well-behaved. They were just strategic. It was something which would have not been possible ba Earth.
While Grey had "Heaven's Eye", he hought of using his abilities in such a way. It just went to show how different the mis were of those who grew up with and without magic.
"How about we head insiー" [Arnelius]
"Fire!" [???]
As soon as the headmaster opehe door, a barrage of spells rained down upon him and Grey, all varying in attribute and power. The culprits were her thaudents themselves.
Luckily, the headmaster's reflexes were fast enough that he was able to ere earthen wall from the floor, blog all the attacks perfectly. Though, the floor did get damaged because of it.
"Tsk. The headmaster blocked it all." [???]
Seeing their attempted attacks fail, one of the male students clicked his toh a face obviously annoyed. It was a brown haired boy who arent to be the one who led such a scheme.
"What the heck is the meaning of this?!" [Arnelius]
After dissolving the wall he erected into nothingness, the headmaster yelled loudly, asking the css to expin themselves. And as the ones subjected to the question, the css immediately became quiet. It was the typical student's sileion.
"Uhm... Headmaster..." [???]
One of the female students raised her right hand and tried to get the headmaster's attention. She had reddish hair and looked to be a meek one, simir to how Yuna previously was.
"What is it?." [Arnelius]
"It... It was Cadet Julius' idea." [???]
"Amelia!" [Julius]
When the lead culprit was revealed by the girl, the lead culprit stood up abruptly and shouted the girl's loud. It was the same student who clicked his tongue just a few seds ago.
"Agh... So it was your idea again... Yhness, I beg you, please stop it with your pranks." [Arnelius]
His eyes widening a little, Grey realized that the lead culprit was her than Alfrione's sed prince. He was just as rexed as the King and the Pri was undoubtedly that they were reted.
Three.... There were three members of the family who had a carefree, boisterous, and mischievous character. It made Grey wonder how the kingdom mao survive with the royal family being the way it is.
"But wouldn't it be more iing to wele our new instructors that way? We also ascertaiher they're worthy or not." [Julius]
The prince said proudly, ag as if there was nothing wrong with what he just said. Soon after, he then shifted his eyes trey, obviously curious about the man the Headmaster brought along with him.
"Hm? Who's that by the entrance?" [Julius]
When the sed prince said those words, Grey once again became the ter of attention. Specutions about him being a transferee also spread like wildfire around the whole css.
"Instructrey, please..." [Arnelius]
"Ah, yes." [Grey]
With a signal from the headmaster's hand, Grey ehe room with the students' stares still glued to him. Although a little unfortable, it was bearable sihere were only ten of them.
"Everybody, listen carefully. This is Instructrey, he will be your new instructor for the time being." [Arnelius]
"I'll be in your care." [Grey]
""""Ehhh!?""""
A unison of voices filled with shock, fusion, and disbelief echoed throughout the whole along with the Headmaster's sudden and ued annou. All of their mouths were wide open.
It was as if they just realized that the cute virtual idol they had been following for years was actually just a middle-aged uncle, or that school actually doesn't teach you how to pay your taxes. Their reas were quite priceless.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait! Headmaster, did you just say that that person is going to be our new instructor?!" [Julius]
"I did." [Arnelius]
"But he's just the same age as us! This has to be a joke!" [Julius]
"N... No, Yhness, listenー" [Arnelius]
"Aha! I get it! This must be payback for all the pranks I've doo you! Headmaster, you almost got me there!" [Julius]
The Headmaster tried to expiuation but the sed pri him off every time he did. The sed priried to escape reality by making his own reasons, which actually made more sense.
While the one cause problem in Yuna's css was an arrogant top student, the one in Grey's css is just simply an idiotid mischievous prihere were no other pair of words better to describe him.
"That surely must be it!" [Julius]
"No, Yhness, please listen to me even oncー" [Arnelius]
"There's no more point in listening. I've already seen through your pn, Headmaster. I'm a genius, after all!" [Julius]
The Head,aster tried his best to expiuation, but no matter what he said or how much he tried, it was useless. The sed prince was fixed on his opinion and his stubbornness was just simply amazing.
While some people ehe edic bit between the Headmaster and the sed pri was time to end their nonsensical bbbering, otherwise, they won't be able to do anything meaningful for the day.
Cp Cp Cp
When Grey cpped my hands, everybody's attention turowards him once again, but this time, they were looking at them with fused looks. Even the headmaster had no idea what Grey was trying to do.
"Headmaster, I have a proposal." [Grey]
Ending his senteh a smile, everybody in the room became more fused by Grey's as. It wasn't just a normal smile, it was simir to Yuna's smile when she nning something at the back of her mind.
After hearing out Grey's proposal, all the students from the css headed to the training grounds and equipped their respective ons, preparing themselves for a battle where they didn't know who their oppo would be.
"Are you sure about this, Instructrey?" [Arnelius]
"Well, His Majesty said it himself. If they won't obey you then you just have to beat them to submission." [Grey]
The Headmaster prayed deep inside his heart as soon as he saw the smile at the end of Grey's statement. It was very simir to Yuna's that he instinctively felt danger and worry towards the students.
Like what the King had previously said, if the students don't want to follow obediently, Grey just o make them realize who was in charge. It was a world where the string preys on the weak, after all.
"Well, I'll be going now." [Grey]
"Please don't hurt them too much." [Arnelius]
"I'll try to." [Grey]
By the time Grey finished his talk with the Headmaster, tally, the students also finished preparing themselves. And like what one would expect with heir ons were all high quality.
All of them were at least High-grade, all worth at least 20 thousand kiels. They were all made with preetals which could withstand the heat and pressure better than aals oh.
"Just so you know, all of us are at the higher end of F-rank. Your proposal to fight all of us alone is just pin reckless. Don't regret it afterwards." [Julius]
"Oh, I won't be the one fighting you." [Grey]
"What do you mean byー" [Julius]
??Summon: Lesser Golem?? [Grey]
With Grey's words reverberating in the air, a magic circle appeared on the ground and light bhe surroundings. Mana gathered ihe circle and soon after, the ground rumbled slightly.
As the ground quaked, cracks appeared and rge boulders emerged from those cracks. Moments ter, the rge boulders stuck to one another like pieags, eventually taking a humanoid shape. A lesser golem was summoned.
Although lesser golems are just a small fries to Grey and Yuna, it was still an E-rank monster, averaging at a bat power of 130. A creature capable of pulverizing rge trees into smithereens. It was still a very terrifying monster.
"H-H-Hey, what's the meaning of this?!" [Julius]
"Yhness, it's a Lesser Golem!" [Amelia]
"I know thatー Hey! Where are you going?!" [Julius]
"To that bench over there." [Grey]
The sed prince asked in a panid Grey answered indifferently whilst pointing to the bench shaded by a rge tree's shadow where the Headmaster had beeed for some time.
"Alright, good luck." [Grey]
"Hey! I'm still talking to you!" [Julius]
"Rather than yelling, you should focus your attention on that lesser golem. If you won't attack, it will attack you." [Grey]
Ign the sed prince's words, Grey calmly headed to the bend joihe Headmaster there. As for the sed prince, his attention has been shifted to the lesser golem who had started to move.
"Yhness! The lesser golem had started moving!" [Amelia]
"Tsk!" [Julius]
Without even any kind of pnning, the students charged towards the lesser golem one by ohey were all aiming to defeat it alone by themselves with no presence of cooperatioween them.
It ical fw Grey had seen tless times in the fial works he had read in his previous life. He just didn't think he would also witness such a spectacle in the real world. Frankly, he was a little disappointed.
"You're mine! ??Frost Breath??!"
"No, that's mine! ??Fire Arrow??!"
??Mantis Cross!??
All the students' attacks hit the lesser golem, but no matter how muded, the lesser golem only took some scratches. The attacks were simir to using a toothpick to chip away a boulder. They were useless.
Gurururu Gurururuggg Gruugggg
Irritated by the attaded unto it, the lesser golem started terattag. With just a single swing from its sword, the students were knocked over the training field, turning them quickly unscious.
"Guwaahhh!"
"Urrkkk!"
"Agghhhh!"
"Tsk! What were you all thinking?! That's an E-rank monster, we 't defeat it alone! We o work together!" [Julius]
Thankfully, there was still someone who had a little sense in them. Uedly, it was the sed prince who was the most mischievous in his css. His words made Grey reevaluate him.
"I'll distract the lesser golem, make sure you all nd a hit on it. Although we 't take it down i, we shave its life slowly. Uood?!" [Julius]
""""Yes!""""
"Let's begin. ??Lightning Bolt?? ! ??Lightning Bolt?? ! ??Lightning Bolt??!" [Julius]
Three bolts of lightning hit the ground, creating a smokes upon impact. Using the opportunity, the students all prepared their spells and when the smoke s cleared away...
"Now!" [Julius]
At the same time, all the attacks of the students hit the lesser golem. The magnitude of the attack was great enough that it pushed back the lesser golem quite a few steps bad a little crack appeared on its chest.
Too bad for them, such a shallow attack isn't enough to take the lesser golem down. It was still standing on both of its legs with its eyes full of vitality and fury. It was e the students.
Rumbleeeee
The ground shook as the lesser golem charged towards the students. Swing after swing, the lesser golem took down students oer ahankfully, the students had their armor equipped and they didn't receive any serious injury.
"Haah... Haah... Haah... I'll never... give... up..." [Julius]
After receiving some more blows from the lesser golem, the sed prince finally fell to the ground and the match cluded. Just as Grey had expected, it was the lesser golem's one-sided victory.
Not just once, but twice, the alpha css students' pride was crushed by the might of a single person on the same day. It was the start of another spartan training which will be forever engraved in the Royal Academy's history.
