Asher parted ways with Alyssa, who had gone back to the Ranker's Dorm. Right now, he was walking with Eric, who was explaining to him about the committee.
"Young Master, I have dealt with the guys you told about six months ago," Eric said as he showed Asher a list of so students who were part of the Duel Committee.
"They are under our full control. I can remove them anyti now."
Asher looked at the list and saw that it had all the nas he had given to Eric half a year ago when he had co back in ti. These students were part of the faction of many people that were Asher's targets.
"Remove them, and you will soon receive an invite from Leonard Tarvian. Tell him that I will personally et him," Asher told Eric.
"As you wish, Young Master," Eric bowed and left Asher.
Asher was going to his room in the Ranker's Dorm when he received a reminder on his ID Bracelet that was sent to all first-year students. It was for the selection of three or more subjects they wanted to choose.
Asher chose three subjects he actually wanted to learn and sent them. He didn't need to enroll in sword arts because it was a waste of ti, and practical application classes would not begin until after the Assessnt Test. For this test, parties of four students were ford, and they would compete in other tests that the World Academy would present for them.
He was going to spend less and less ti in classes in the future, but he still needed to wait until the Assessnt Test to leave the World Academy and go back to Soran for the rest of his plans.
The classes Asher had enrolled in were [Runic Theory], [Elental Theory], and [Aura Creation]. The classes for specific elents were only available after the assessnt test, which would happen soon.
He didn't need to attend sword arts or any of the Weapon Arts subjects, so he decided to train himself to increase his magic mastery, as it was sothing needed to increase the proficiency of his SSS Rank sword art.
Today was the class for [Elental Theory], and it was a joint class with students who had opted for it. Only 100 students had enrolled in it. Only mages studied this subject, and the number of mages among the hunters was lower than other paths.
Alia, Elena, Eva, Alyssa, and Lishia were also present in this class, as all of them were mages, but Alia was an augnter. She still needed to choose this subject to later study with the Professor that taught about augntation.
[Runic Theory], on the other hand, only had 50 students, and they were all people who wanted to either pursue a career in Rune Arts or beco artifact readers to earn money. It required high intelligence, so only a select few could actually study this subject.
Only Asher was present in this course among all the Elite families. Even Eva had not chosen this subject because Runes were sothing that were not that beneficial in battle.
And the last subject, [Aura Creation], was a class where only the Elite families and other students that had reached E Rank could attend. As the na suggests, it was a class that taught Aura materialization to the students. But this class only had 50 students, as all the other students had not reached E Rank yet.
The common subjects, apart from Duel Class, were not joint classes. There was only [Duel Class], in which all 1,000 students would gather and learn battle arts and other important stuff. There were more advanced subjects, but they could only be opted for after the assessnt test was done.
It was the next morning, and Asher looked at his schedule. Today, he had only two classes: Elental Theory and Beast Theory.
For Elental Theory, Asher needed to go to Mage Art Block through the exchange sector. There were five such blocks in the World Academy: Mage Art Sector, Weapon Art Sector, Research Sector, Artisan Sector, and Arena Sector. Each of these sectors was ten tis the size of all Blocks 1 to 5 combined. These sectors were common places where all students from different years could be seen.
Asher used the exchange sector and teleported to the Mage Art Sector. He went ahead alone because he was sure that Alyssa would have gone early, especially today, to avoid eting senior year students. First-year students would avoid her, but that was not the sa for second-year and higher students.
Asher saw massive buildings, but he went to the building where the class was going to be held. He entered the room, which was more than enough for 200 students, and these buildings had spatial runes to increase the size in case of extra students joining in.
Asher saw Alia, who was sitting alone, and Elena and Eva, who were avoiding his gaze. From their expressions, it seed like both of them were in a bad mood.
The first-years were not inford about this, but the news was spreading like fire among the senior year students. It was apparent from their expressions that they did not think that even Raelyn would be able to deal with Asher. The rumors were a bit exaggerated, but it still was not a favorable outco for them.
"What is he doing here?" Eva asked Elena, because Asher was a swordsman, so he didn't need to attend this particular subject.
Asher calmly walked in as he saw each desk had a transparent orb in front of them, and only two were present on each seat. Alyssa was sitting alone, and behind her, Alia was also sitting alone. Alyssa was being avoided due to her reputation, but nobody approached Alia as they were repelled by her indifferent and cold gaze.
Alia's face changed when she saw Asher as she herself was surprised why Asher was here. She was going to stand up but stopped as Asher walked up to her and sat beside her. Although Asher did not want to sit near Alia, it was better than sitting with Alyssa for now. Until the assessnt test, he was not going to openly favor Alyssa.
"Ah, why are you here?" Alia asked with a low tone.
"Do you have any issues?" Asher's expressionless face made it even more confusing for Alia.
'Do as you want, rude bastard,' Alia cursed in her mind and kept looking out of the window.
Both of the Greville siblings were wearing an indifferent look, but as the class started to fill, all students were avoiding sitting near Asher, but one girl went and sat in front of him. It was the daughter of the king of Halcyon, Lishia Halcyon herself.
As she walked down the room, the students couldn't help but turn their heads to catch a glimpse of her beauty. Her long black hair swayed elegantly with each step she took, and her golden eyes attracted a lot of attention. But there were three more beauties like her in the class, and all of them made the hearts of all the boys present in the class flutter.
"Lishia Halcyon," Alia muttered with a low voice as she saw her sitting in front of her.
Whispers of students could be heard in the whole classroom, but most of them were targeted at Alyssa. She was the only student who had two advanced elents, and as a mage, nobody could say she was below anyone else.
Alyssa ignored all the whispers and kept reading the book in front of her. She found it calr to focus her mind on sothing else instead of listening to all the bad things others said about her.
The voices died down as Professor Elsa walked into the classroom. She was going to start the lecture soon but noticed Asher sitting with Alia.
"Asher Greville, why are you in this class?" Elsa questioned.
"Do you think that World Academy is qualified to teach about swords?" Asher replied with a question.
His words made many students widen their eyes in shock. It was the only ti they had seen a student being this forward with a Professor.
Elsa saw a headache coming as Professor Erwin, who was in charge of the Sword Art class, would be enraged if he listened to Asher's remark, but she knew what Asher ant by his statent.
"Do as you wish," Elsa stopped as she saw a guy who was a bit late enter the class.
"Gavin Neville, right? Why are you so late?" Elsa asked the green-haired boy who had just arrived.
"Sorry, Professor. I woke up a bit late today," Gavin lied, but Asher, who was looking at Gavin with an indifferent look, knew the real reason.
"Go sit," Elsa said as Gavin quietly went up and sat in one of the front seats.
Asher looked at Gavin, more accurately the tips of his fingertips, and saw a bit of blood as he focused mana in his eyes.
He smirked inwardly as there had been no change in Gavin's behavior until now.
"Well, I will start today's class," Elsa began. "As you know, each spell is categorized into an elent: Fire Elent, Water Elent, Lightning Elent, Wind Elent, Earth Elent, Black Elent, and Space Elent," Elsa explained.
"Any spell a mage will use can be categorized under these elents, but apart from these, there are also advanced elents."
anwhile, another class was taking place at the sa ti: the [Sword Arts] class.
"Where is Asher Greville?" asked a man with slightly brownish hair.
His tall stature and broad shoulders gave him quite an intimidating look.
He was Professor Erwin, responsible for teaching Sword Art to the students.
He was confused because the best swordsman among the first and second-year students combined was not present in his lecture.
"Is he sick?" Erwin could not think of any other reason.
"It can't be. The plans would fail," he muttered to himself as he thought of the worst possible outco.
The right to choose subjects was given to the students, and even the professors only knew about their future students on the first day of class.
Even Matthew, who was present in this class, was waiting to see Asher once again.
