***************
After observing the quest again, I decided to leave the Academy after finishing today's classes to complete the quest. I can use the warp gate and go near the location where IRETHIEL is held.
I can still use a warp gate, by utilizing my special badge privilege for one more ti this month.
As Aegis was the one who paid for my warp gate fee yesterday for my return to the academy, which preserved my special badge privilege.
Well, the warp gate fees aren't much for her, as she is extrely rich.
After pondering to myself, I got dressed in my academy uniform and left the special dorm building, and headed toward the academic main building, where the classes will be held.
The first period today was the combined combat training class. In this class, all the first-year students would gather for the combined training, which includes the Alpha and beta classes as well.
I pondered to myself and arrived in front of the training room where the class would be held. As I was about to enter, soone called my na, recognizing the voice. I turned toward it and saw a blue-haired student approaching in haste. Of course, she was Livia Frostine.
Livia rushed towards and greeted while avoiding my gaze,
"G-Good morning, Ares."
"Good morning to you as well, Livia." I greeted her back with a smile. But after seeing my smile, she turned her head away as if embarrassed.
"...."
I don't know why, but the atmosphere between us turned quite awkward from the last ti I t Livia, and she was behaving sowhat differently than she usually does.
If I had to put it in words, it was like a teenager having a conversation with his/her crush and being all embarrassed...
But I can't say the sa for Livia, as she never had any friends before, so I think she didn't know how friends should treat each other. or did she think of as soone more than her friend? The latter must be impossible, right? I reassured myself.
Soon, I shook my head and stopped thinking about it, as we both entered the combined training room together.
***
We were all gathered in a white room surrounded by several translucent crystals. It was a similar room to the entrance examination that teleported us into a magical space. But at the center of the room, there was an electronic display screen, on which all the first-year students' nas were displayed.
Soon a professor, wearing a white lab coat with black ssy hair and black eyes with dark circles underneath, entered the white room and greeted us. We very well knew who this professor was, as he was the sa professor from the entrance examination.
"Good morning students, as you all already know about this room, I will skip the introduction of the room and tell you why you all are gathered here"
Everyone started paying attention to him, as he was about to explain to us about today's training.
"Today, you all will be teleported inside a monster Gate. Of course, it's just a mock Gate and not the real one. The more monsters you kill, the more points you will be allotted, your rankings and points will be evaluated and they will be added to your end-sester scores." He explained lazily without any elaboration.
Listening to him, a student raised his hand and asked a question,
"What do you an by the points that will be added at the end of the sester scores?"
"Auhh, it ans what you heard, it will help Alpha and beta class students to improve their overall sester score and help them to advance in Special class." He explained while yawning,
Listening to his explanation all the Alpha and Beta class students were surprised and excited at the sa ti, and silence prevailed in the room, and after a few seconds, another student raised a question,
"So, what's in for students that are already in the special class?"
Everyone focused their attention on the professor as they were all curious about that, including special class students as well.
"Stupid Brats, listen to carefully. If a bus that can only seat 40 people exceeds its limit, it is obvious that soone has to leave that bus. And of course, the one who is the weakest will be kicked out of it." He said with a bored look on his face.
"So, that ans if the special class students can't maintain their high scores, they will be demoted to Alpha or Beta classes respectively," A student concluded.
After coming to the realization, the special class students that were taking it easy until now were sweating in uneasiness.
"Yes, that's what I said, don't make repeat it," the professor said in an annoyed tone.
"...."
Everyone was shocked to see the professor's deanor.
"So, now that you all know, I will be teleporting every one of you into the mock Gate," he said and was about to activate the crystals, but I raised my hand and questioned him.
"So what's the use of that digital screen," I said while pointing toward the screen, though I already know what it does.
p
"Oh, I forgot about this, it isn't a big deal, you will be entering the Gate in a team of four, and that digital screen will be allotting you, random team mbers, that's all,"
!?
"...."
'How can he forget such an important thing and say it isn't a big deal?' Everyone scread inwardly.
As they were swearing the professor inwardly, the digital screen started rearranging the nas to allot a random four-mber team.
As everyone was focusing their attention on the screen to know who their teammates will be, The lazy-ass forgetful professor spoke again,
"Oh, also there are many different types of monsters in this mock Gate that give you different points, The monsters are Ranked from E to A, and the E rank monsters will give you only 1 point while D rank monsters will give you 3 points and so on..., whereas the A-rank monster will give you 50 points, But there is only 1 A-rank boss-type monster, so the only team that kills the boss monster will be allotted 50 points, and after the boss monster dies, you will be teleported back to this room. And in two hours, if no one can kill the A-rank boss monster, then you will be teleported back as well," He concluded.
As every student was summarizing the information that they just heard, we all heard a sound from the digital screen.
BEEP ~
As we reviewed the screen, we saw the teams were already randomly allotted. But after noticing the teams everyone was shocked, and that includes as well.
"...."
TEAM 1 ~
1)ARES VON ROTHSTAYLOR
2)DIANA ELIORA
3)ERIC GUNNER
4)PENELOPE BENJAMIN
TEAM 2 ~
1)LUCAS EUGENE
2)AYLA EUGENE

4)****

1)LIVIA FROSTINE
2)CLAUDE VALDEMAR
3)KEVIN CEDRIC
4)****
...

**********
Seeing the allotted teams which were supposed to be random, I was quite surprised, as I do not know how this is random...
And I don't know if other teams will even get a chance to accumulate any points. I thought inwardly.
Teams 2 and 3 are overpowering and of course, including my Team 1.
I don't know my other teammates except for Diana, but with only Diana included aside from , could be considered a strong team. And Team 2, which includes, Lucas, Ayla, and Ziona, had a pretty good synergy as well, but I don't recognize their fourth team mber, well he doesn't matter. I am not biased against him, but even without him, they can climb to the top easily.
Now about Team 3, I was speechless, because of the crazy trio, Livia, Claude, and Kevin. They all are crazy people in their own way, as I don't have to ntion what Livia and Claude are capable of, and though Kevin's behavior and skills are sowhat different from the novel, But he is still strong enough to lift his weight. Of course, I don't recognize their fourth mber as well.
"The battle for the top will definitely,... be devastating," I muttered to myself.
The professor didn't ntion that we should only kill monsters and couldn't kill any other students, the less competition you have, the more points you could get, and this loophole will lead to...,
A BLOODY MASSACRE!!!.
