[Eon's POV: ]
Now, the class was silent, everyone was looking at her, speechless, thoughtless, and motionless.
It seed as if ti had frozen as everyone looked at us, who set on the last seat, and this also included the ones that were sitting at the very front.
This mont was quite amazing, a bit more amazing because she had just ruined our happy and quiet academy ti thing.
[[ "All set Celes?" ]]
[[ Yes master~! ]]
This was a good mont and there was no way I could just let this mont pass. So, I quickly closed my eyes and took a quick look at the entire classroom from the point of view of Celes's clones that had occupied all areas of the classroom.
I knew this special mont was only going to last for a mont, just like the blue hour, so I had to do this quickly, and thankfully I managed to take a look at the entire class and store the image in my mind as I wanted. And as soon as I finished…
"Good, good Miss Uriel. That was a fantastic answer.
And I liked how even after quoting several famous figures, you finished with your own opinion. That was how a typical theoretical answer should be.
I'm impressed. Please continue with your introduction. And... what classes would you be taking this year?" He asked with visibility curved lips that surprised everyone and brought them back to the current ti and the frozen ti was resud.
"I'm Uriel. A adventurer and a (tier-3) mage. I believe if you want to know more about , we can have a good personal chat, however, one thing to note about would be that this person here is my fiancé and he is mine."
That was a warning as well as a fact. So everyone that wanted to harm or 'get close to ' would have to take care because as she said, she was a (tier-3) mage.
'(Tier-4) actually but for our whatever little remaining happiness and quiet life, she was better saying she was (tier-3). Her magic was powerful beyond the tiers anyway so they would have to face her if they wanted to reach . And vice versa was also the sa.
"As for the classes, I'm taking weapon understanding, energy beast research, and spirit bonding classes. The two of us will also take the superior level of magic engineering; magic, and weapon practice; as well as alchemy classes."
She bowed down a little at him, put her hand on the glass ball before her that shined in bright blue, and sat back down after rendering the entire class speechless again. And this ti, most of them had their mouths wide open as they glared at not just her but at too.
[[ Hehe. They look funny, master. ]]
And yes, they all looked funny too.
"Three Superior classes? Well, they surely seem strange too. It is sad that you two won't be in my class. We could have had fun with peculiar ones like you two."
There was a normal expression on his face even after hearing that the two of us will take three Superior grade classes. And that much was to be expected from the person that had always taken a Superior grade class in his ti here as a student and topped every single one of them with a landslide even with the least possible attendance.
He wasn't surprised but there sure was a little sadness that the two of us weren't in his personal class.
"We will drop by whenever we have a chance so don't be sad sir~!"
As she said, he had nothing to be sad about. We were going to roam around all the classes so there was no need to even ask when it was about our own horoom teacher's class that my little brother liked.
It was true but the way she said it sounded as if she was mocking sir or as if she was mocking every one of them that looked at her with wide-open eyes and ground-touching open mouths.
"Haha. Is that so? I will be looking forward to that then."
He shook his head with excited visibility on his stoic face and then flipped the page from his diary.
"Alright. Barcitia. What is Mana and how are the elental affinities related to it?"
He looked at a girl sitting at the front and confused half of the class.
The girl he had asked the question visibly looked like a noble in her attractive dress and as he asked her the question while looking at her, she quietly stood up, confused as to what to answer.
"Didn't she answer the question already sir?"
A male voice rang from the other side of her and it seed like he was a friend of hers, or probably soone that fancied her.
But the teacher didn't like his question so he looked at him with an expression that scread that he was a fool to even ask such questions.
"Luke, right? What do you think we are doing right now young man?"
It was an obvious question and anyone that wasn't in a daze after Rein's pretty answer would know what the core objective of this whole question actually was.
And the boy that had asked that question was obviously not one of those people so, he fell silent, just like the girl that was standing silently.
And I could see so of the students did know what we were doing but they were too afraid to answer so, the teacher answered it himself.
"Dumb people. At least rember what is happening in the class. We are doing the attendance and introduction. I am asking for everyone's opinions so of course there is no actual answer to these questions. Just state your opinion and if you can't even do that much, then just introduce yourself and sit down. Hump. Dumb people."
And after saying that to the boy, he looked back at the girl, asking her to speak up with his eyes filled with a little anger.
"I-I am…"
And so with hesitation, uncertainty, and tension, the girl finished her introduction and though she was neither a mage nor a knight, she had an affinity with sound, the higher elent of wind, and good for her, she was aiming to be a musician.
It was the sa and uninteresting and after her, the introductions continued in the sa boring way it was before Uriel's answer. But this ti, things beca heated quickly when it was the turn of the house captain of [True dragon], and both Uriel and I were excited to hear his answer and introduction.
"Alpha. What is Mana and how are the elental affinities related to it?"
The na he chose was quite unique and of course, it wasn't his real na, but it sure was sothing peculiar and attractive.
But more than that, the way he was calm during and after Uriel's answer was a bit unexpected because all the simple things that she said, which obviously weren't so simple that everyone in this class actually understood them, were sothing that I was expecting from him.
He was smart after all. So of the most mysterious and smart ones that I knew in this academy. And he was a student council mber too, so it was even more interesting how the headmaster found soone like him.
Anyway, what Uriel had said was the best answer he could have given so, now that quoting famous people wasn't a choice, it was even more exciting to see how he answers this first question of our first class.
"Mana…"
He was almost the sa height as us, which was on the taller side in this class, and had dark blue hair and light blue eyes, but, his eyes were unique as the pupil area of his eyes had a unique ring of white.
I knew he was a special person and he was smart too, and soone that knew how to use his smartness to get the best personal results.
And also the kind of person that I didn't like much.
"Mana is one of the many kinds of energies as Miss Uriel previously said. It is separate from the elental affinities too. Even the fact that Mana is a kind of energy while the elental affinities are independent factors that one is born with is also true.
However, Mana or Aura or Aether or any kind of energy is also closely related to these affinities that one is born with.
Just like how we can build affinity with so elent that we already have so form of affinity with, we can also increase the capacity of the Mana, the energy our vessel body can hold or circulate through nature directly. But, that amount is primarily limited.
Just like how one is born with so form of affinity with so elent, one is also born with limitations.
There are inherent limits to every being, to every one of the people, and though so could break them and go beyond the mortal understanding, there are so limits that are common to all of them too.
And one of them would be the power to understand what 'energy' truly is.
So, from my perspective, everything has a certain limit, wanting to break these limits is the step towards self-improvent, and through only that could we beco truly strong.
Mana is one of the diums that helps us nurture innate talents and gain new ones, and affinities are paths that lead us to these talents. Showing us what 'we' are good at."
He stopped after that and I looked at my partner beside who had a surprised expression on her pretty face.
[[ "Is he-" ]]
[[ "Nope." ]]
[[ "Then that ans…" ]]
[[ "Yup. Half of it isn't accurate." ]]
[[ "Damn… then, doesn't that an-" ]]
[[ "Yup. Not as much as we thought." ]]
[[ "But it sounded so convincing?" ]]
[[ "That's the thing. He is a good orator before he is anything else. Probably the best I have seen. No shit he is the house captain of a house that's practically filled with a bunch of individually strong people." ]]
[[ "shit. I thought he was so super strong dude disguised as a normal person!" ]]
[[ "He is a disguised strong person, ma'am. I showed you his screen on the island." ]]
[[ "But that was only strong! Not super strong! I at least thought he knows a lot about the world like Alpheus!" ]]
[[ "Prince Alpheus has a pinnacle skill dear. Don't at least compare him to just anyone. And even though he said those things like that, I think he at least knows a good lot about the world.
He probably wants to… mislead us." ]]
I looked at the person standing at the front, his face calm and almost emotionless.
He was strange, soone that even Uriel considered strong. And from the way he said those things…
'Alpha, are you an opportunity or a threat?'
