381 Creating a blacklisted team
“Before you all leave for your classroom, let inform everyone about my class. My class will be an obligatory lesson for students that are in the physical line. But anyone can join to keep fit and attract your crushes, hahaha.” Biro had to stop after he spent a few seconds laughing loudly. Even Ollie and Ton beca embarrassed by their teacher’s manners.
*Cough* “Where was I? Ah yes! The first year will always have the slow-paced and botherso beginner curriculum, but life waits for no one, so I will teach basic close quarter combat and basic Energy Flow control to those who can show their tenacity to improve.” Biro explained how he was going to teach more than he should. He even looked at Vincent while saying the last part.
Similar to how Duke Biro Hawkins agreed to beco a teacher, it appeared he was going to teach more because of Vincent.
“We can learn like the second and third years? Great!”
“It is a blessing Duke Biro Hawkins has beco a teacher in our first year.”
One after the other, many students who had the warrior class beca cheerful that they could learn instead of spending their first year exercising nonstop. Repeating the sa training exercises for six months without learning anything new was the reason many hated their first year in the academy.
Many of the students with a mage class looked at Maira with a hopeful gaze, but she glared at them instead. It appeared Duke Biro Hawkins was going to be the only exception to the first-year curse, which was six months of boredom.
“Thank you, Duke, but I hope the students know only you are willing to teach more than it is required.” Maira looked at the students and continued, ” Follow to your class.” *sigh* “This is botherso.”
Maria paid no attention if she was heard or not. She ignored everyone and headed to the classroom. The students looked at each other with a frown and began following her one after another.
.....
Kazumi felt mixed feelings about Maira’s cold character. However, she was intrigued about how a woman with such an unsociable character beca a teacher.
[Maria is like a tour leader that is working overti without pay. Her coldness and grumpiness are surprising, considering the teens she is disrespecting co from a variety of authority levels.]
-I hope she can be a good teacher at least.-
[Yeah. We will probably have no problems with Biro’s class, but hers is giving mixed feelings.]
Vincent turned his gaze and nodded at Biro and Ollie. He held his wife’s slightly nervously shaking hand and followed his classmates.
“So he is the one who brought you here, teacher Biro. ” Ton said while watching Vincent, Lilith, and Nick following at the rear of Class A.
“I am glad to et you again, teach. Working here can be arduous sotis.” Ton said. He looked at Ollie and continued, “I am glad to et another one of the few people who call Duke Biro Hawkins their teacher. I hope your path to a Paladin is a smooth ride with the best teacher around.”
“Thank you, Count...”
“No, call Ton. We are students of the sa teacher on our road to Paladinship and beyond.” Ton patted Ollie’s arm and extended his hand. The two soon shook their hands, and later, the second class arrived.
*Class A Classroom*
After walking for so ti, Maria stopped in front of a door. She entered inside and asked to be followed. The students entered one after the other.
Vincent and Lilith entered last. They looked around, and both beca surprised by how large the classroom was. It was quite similar to being called an auditorium.
Maria saw that the last of the students had entered.
“Finally, the last of the pack entered.” *sigh* She looked at the students gathered in front of the teacher’s desk and continued, “I will leave and return one hour later. I will need all of you to have ford a team of five by then. Any remaining students without a team will have to form one together.”
Maria didn’t give a chance to listen to a question. She turned around and left the classroom.
“That’s all? I couldn’t ask a question...”
“So she is the annoying teacher many hate. Why did she have to be our horoom teacher...”
“I guess our first year isn’t going to be that nice after all...”
Many of the students didn’t look too happy with Maria as their teacher. Ironically, the teacher was bothered by her students, and the students were bothered by their teacher. However, her cold chilling glare brought order in the class.
There were fifty students in the classroom in total. It ant ten teams needed to be ford. However, one of the students was receiving dozens upon dozens of hateful and disgusted glares. Nick was like the black sheep of the room because of his infamy.
Vincent didn’t need any powerful classmates in his team. He held Lilith’s hand and went to take a seat at the back of the class. However, Nick didn’t join them. He remained alone not to make his friend blacklisted by the class.
[Is Nick afraid to be with us? Does he want you and Lilith to find a good team, and he doesn’t want to ruin your chances?]
Vincent looked at Lilith and asked, “What kind of team do you want? I can go and look for people that fit your criteria if you’d like.”
“Whoever you and Kazumi choose will be the best choice. ” Lilith replied. She smiled and tried to relax her racing, anxious heart. It was going to take so ti for Lilith to get used to a life surrounded by people she didn’t know, nor knew their intentions.
Vincent raised his hand. “Hey, Nikolai, co and sit near .” He said what Nick feared the most.
Many glares were now pointed at Vincent. So thought he made a mistake, while others couldn’t believe what they heard. Regardless of their thoughts, Nick went to sit beside Vincent after he called for him again.
“Why did you ask to join you? ” Nick asked. He had a conflicted expression on his face. “I wanted to spare my friend and his wife from my infamy.”
“Aren’t you my friend? I need a good friend and not a group of people who abandon when it becos inconvenient for them. I know that feeling when I was at my lowest. One person had saved at that ti.” Vincent reassuringly responded.
Nick didn’t respond with words. He nodded, and his distressed expression relaxed. He was content soone didn’t mind the infamy his presence would cause.
[Besides Nick’s problem, we need him to be in our team. He knows about Lupa, and he can help us request the other two mbers not to say a word about not being a real familiar.]
-That ans we should strive to have lissa and Clair in our team?-
[Not a bad idea... but lissa might make the next six months quite botherso.]
-Speak of the devil...-
lissa approached Vincent. The students started gossiping about her getting close to Nick. They feared she might join his team.
“Vincent, I will form a team far stronger than yours! Just you wait! Humph!” lissa declared to make a better team than Vincent’s, to everyone’s surprise. So began to wonder what their relationship was.
lissa went near the teacher’s desk and asked who wanted to join her team. Surprisingly, many students rushed at the occasion as if they were waiting for her.
lissa was the strongest mage in the class with her stats. Furthermore, she had the quickest chant and spell control out of all the mages that displayed their spell near the Inspection Gemstone.
Regardless of lissa’s potential, her father was the academy’s headmaster. She was sought after not only because of her power but because of her family as well.
Students from families of both the royal and aristocrat factions side wanted to be in her team to benefit until their academic day’s end.
Vincent kept an eye on Clair as ti passed. However, no matter who she tried to approach, she was ignored or declined rudely.
Vincent could see how Clair had given up because she couldn’t approach lissa after declaring to form the best team. “How about I go and ask Clair to co here?” He asked.
“Okay. ” Nick asked imdiately as if he was thinking about asking Vincent if he was fine to have Clair in their team.
[That was a quick confirmation. I bet Nick likes Clair, hehe.]
Kazumi confird her suspicion after she matched Nick blushing timings corresponded with his eyes catching the sight of Clair.
“Even though Clair was scared of Sakura, I didn’t see Clair as a bad person.” Lilith seed to accept as well.
Vincent stood up and went over to Clair. “Hi, Clair. Are you looking for a team?” He asked.
Clair turned around and saw Vincent. She nervously nodded and replied, “Yes... no one wants because of my class...” Her emotions could be felt from her voice. She was sad to be shooed by every classmate she asked.
“You can join , Lilith and Nikolai then. Our team is looking for trustable people rather than a combat class.” Vincent offered.
Clair moved her gaze and saw Nick and Lilith sitting at the back of the classroom. “B-but I’m useless. No one wants on their team.” She looked more nervous than before all of a sudden.
“My offer still stands, but I will hope you can join us.” Vincent decided Clair needed ti to think. He took a step back and continued, “I bet your mother will feel reassured you will be in a team with the Lionheart and Graymoon family.”
