The students around them started whispering.
“Have you heard of the S class?”
“S class? No, is this the first time you’ve heard of it? Did our school have such a class?”
“Looking at it, it seems like it was newly established this time, right? Charlotte and Frey were assigned to that class!”
“what? those two? Both of them are people who compete for the top spot among freshmen. Could it be that the S class is higher than the A class?”
“no. Did I know that at first too? But the chief of the entrance exam this time is Prince Sardin of the Rundel family. Prince Sadin is, of course, Class A, and according to rumors, Class S… .”
“what? a failed student? You two almost failed this test?”
“hey! Shh! Shh! Be quiet. What if other people hear it! That’s why it’s not certain, it’s just rumors, rumors! I overheard what the other kids were saying.”
“Anyway, it’s shocking… . Suddenly a new class… . It was kind of strange.”
It was a big shock to me as well. I looked at the roster several times to see if my eyes were wrong.
Nothing changed though.
Obviously, in the setting I created, the Salomon Academy did not even have an S class.
That meant that it was made hastily after the entrance exam this time.
‘why?’
I didn’t understand at all.
I knew that Ashtar, the chairman of the Salomon Academy, was an erratic person, but it was an anti-system that had never been touched since the academy was founded.
Of course, at this time, for what reason are we reforming this system?
‘Is it because of the last exam… ?’
Roaring!
Pillars of fire soared around Charlotte. The students around her had already moved away from her, as if they had foreseen that this idiot would explode.
“I can’t tolerate it! I’ll never accept it! Dare, dare, dare this Charlotte Mage! How can you be assigned to an unheard of class that isn’t even an A class! I will kill you! I will destroy everything!”
“charlotte… … . calm down… .”
“aaa!!! Why do I have to suffer like this! why me!!”
“I have to prove that the family sword is not wrong… . I have no face to see my father… . sorry… father… .”
It was a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of Charlotte and Frey’s reaction was understandable enough.
In the first place, the meaning of class A in Salomon Academy is different from that of classes in other academies.
Dividing the classes in order of grades was a matter of course, and among them, Class A could be seen as a kind of entrance gate.
Among the officials who are in charge of the current Empire’s backbone, more than half of them were from Salomon Academy, especially Class A, so you could roughly see how influential they were.
In other words, to express it as a metaphor for Class A, it would be a place where Imoogi gather and prepare for ascension right before becoming a dragon.
Entering class A is the minimum qualification that proves how much potential you have.
Some may say that I am so obsessed with only one class, but anyone who has attended Salomon Academy will agree.
The fact that the symbolism of the A class is something that cannot be easily obtained even if you pay billions of dollars.
Of course, there will be no exceptions at all. Even in Class B or Class C, there must be promising talents who stand out after graduation.
However, that is only an exception.
Even a three-year-old kid knows that it is extremely advantageous to prepare to ascend to heaven in a place where serpents gather than to fly a dragon from a stream.
‘As the class goes up, the application from the school side also changes.’
rigorous meritocracy.
It was a place where the word “strong diet of the weak meat” was most appropriate.
‘I think he knows something… .’
I also checked his name on the roster. However, no matter how much I looked around, Eden’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
‘This naughty bastard. Aren’t you hiding somewhere else?’
Even thinking about it made my head hurt. Even if I stayed here longer, I didn’t think I would see anything good.
First, let’s go back to the inn.
I have to organize my plans and thoughts for the future, and above all, I have to take the mandrake I got while studying hard for this exam.
I risked my life to save it, so shouldn’t I absorb it in the best condition?
As soon as I opened my eyes, I checked the mandrake in my bosom.
Just like licking the lid of Yoplait, I will devour the roots without leaving any residue.
‘If you absorb it properly, you can escape from premature ejaculation and it is the start of happiness.’
It is a mandrake that is over 100 years old. There was no longer a need to pant after using a few strengthening spells.
Thinking that I could use various types of strengthening magic that Abel in the past would not have dared to think of, I felt a little better after seeing the class assignment list.
I entered the alley past the street vendors standing in a row.
It was a narrow and sparsely populated road, but it was the fastest route to the accommodation where I was staying, so I used it occasionally.
The downside was that there was a half chance of encountering bullies.
From noble mtl dot com
Normally, I would ignore most of them unless I directly challenged them, but if the entire aisle was blocked like now, I had no choice but to run into them.
That’s right, a passage that two grown men can barely pass through is blocked by three or four gigantic thugs surrounding a woman.
Passing between them, ‘I’ll pass by for a while. Have a good time.’
“miss. Aren’t we all right? why can’t you be so honest I like you too, so why are you bouncing so much?”
“Please, please don’t do this… .”
“Oh, is this really easy to make a person an idiot? What difficult request did I ask? We’re just going to have a drink and talk for a bit and then we’ll go, why are you so rude?”
“sister. You have to bounce it once or twice to be attractive. It’s no fun if you bounce it multiple times. Let’s go when it’s nice, huh?”
I met eyes with a bully. He was a very impressive man with smooth hair.
The sunlight reflected from his head stung his eyes.
“Hey there. what? did you see
He was a man with no morals to use the Fist of the Sun in a mean way.
“Please let go of this. I need to go home soon… .”
‘uh… .? That woman… … .’
Strangely familiar.
A female student in an academy uniform. He seemed to be a student at Salomon Academy.
Her bangs covered her eyes, making it hard to see her face, but looking at her school uniform shirt that was about to burst, I could see why the bullies were obsessed with it.
‘I don’t think I need help.’
Although she may seem like a frail schoolgirl on the outside, she is also a student at Salomon Academy. The class itself was different from the thugs who robbed money in the back alleys.
The moment I turned around and was about to leave the alleyway, goose bumps appeared on the nape of my neck.
‘… Is this magic?’
It gave off a different feeling than black magicians use, but it was definitely magic.
‘no way!’
The body moved before the head.
He kicked off the ground and kicked the side of the bully who was holding the girl’s hand.
“Cuck!”
The bully didn’t even react and flew away and hit the wall.
It was a shame because I had adjusted my strength as much as possible, but if I had made a small mistake, I would have died instantly.
The bullies around me surrounded me.
“Brother Homin! Gwa, are you okay!”
“Yes, what are you!”
Looking at the scene just now, and seeing that he spits out trite lines, it seems that lack of learning ability is a characteristic of bullies.
“Now, let’s count to three. For those who don’t disappear from my eyes while counting to three, you see the one over there, who is drooling against the wall? You will be like him. You know?”
The voices of the thugs trembled, perhaps feeling a sense of crisis.
“Oh, the young bastard is joking! Do you know who we are?”
“Uh, as for us, the ruler of the back alleys of Rousalem, that famous snake… .”
Instead of answering, I smiled warmly.
“Ha-me.”
Bullies who quietly step backwards. Still, he showed sincerity to take care of his colleague who fainted.
“Yes, I remembered your face! Be lucky today and be safe. If only the big brother of our organization had been there, both of you would have been reduced to meat right here!”
“two.”
“Two, wait and see! you will regret it soon We, the snake’s shadow, will definitely, definitely take revenge! Oh, I will spare your life especially today!”
After saying one last word, the bullies hurriedly left the alley.
Stupid cubs.
You will probably never know. The fact that it was they who almost became the real meat here.
If I hadn’t intervened, it would have been broken into small pieces and scattered across the floor without a chance to beg for its life.
‘I am your lifesaver. You bastards.’
And it is certain that he tried to kill even me, a witness who happened to be passing by. I turned my head and looked at the girl.
‘No matter how much you received the protection of the demon god, are you insane to try to use your power in the middle of the empire? Is it fearless or not thinking… .’
She bowed her head towards me.
“… Thank you for saving me.”
It was a dry tone that didn’t feel like gratitude at all.
Well, even if I was a second late, I would have tried to kill them all, but since I hit the ball, my hands would be itchy.
It’s all the more so because he’s a person full of hatred for humans.
“When I saw the clothes you were wearing, I thought you were a student at our school, so I couldn’t bear to pass by. My name is Seil Sieghart, and I have just entered this school. What grade are you in?”
“… It is first grade.”
uh? It seems that his expression just momentarily distorted? is this a warning? I’ll kill you if you talk to me any more, so a tacit warning to stop bothering me and go on my way?
Come to think of it, it seemed that he was seriously thinking about the slight trembling of his hand.
I smiled broadly, pretending not to know the ominous omens.
“really? He was also a freshman. It’s so nice to meet classmates here! If you don’t mind, may I ask what class you were placed in?”
It was a relationship I got, but I couldn’t end it like this. Even so, her true identity is… .
‘The one favored by the night, Aria Valentine.’
The only daughter of the Demon King, and one of the people who will destroy this world together with Socheonma Cheonakcheon.
The second person you must kill if you cannot become an ally.
It was also the reason I entered the academy after going through all kinds of hardships.
Due to the setting of this novel, all the people who can directly influence the world gather at the academy.
“… It is an S class.”
As if I was very happy, I grabbed her hand and smiled brightly. I didn’t know that Aria Valentine was also assigned to Class S.
“Isn’t this class newly created? I am also in S class. I’m really happy that a classmate I ran into by chance is in the same class. I wish you well in the future.”
“ah… . yes… .”
Her gaze turned to my hand. I hurriedly let go of my hand and looked at her expression.
“Oh, sorry! I’m so happy that I don’t even know… .”
He was still wary, but he didn’t seem to have any intent to kill, perhaps because he knew they were classmates in the same class.
It was then.
I could feel the popularity around me.
‘Are those bad guys? I still can’t come to my senses… .’
When I turned my head, people wearing masks began to appear one by one.
It wasn’t like a bully. The atmosphere was distinctly different.
More than ten people at a rough estimate.
It was surrounded on all sides, including the roof.
While this amount of personnel approached, I didn’t even feel the presence.
‘They are professionally trained shooters.’
I thought meeting Aria was the main event, but it turned out that the real thing was here.
A man in a blue mask at the front asked me.
“… Are you Seil Sieghardt?”
It seems that I am certain of my goal.
