"How are you?" Amelia asked, as they were all walking towards the class.
"What do you mean?" Rio asked as he smiled and looked at her.
Amelia kept looking at him for some time and shook her head and said "Nothing"
'Did she get some blessing to look past illusions and other blessings.' Rio couldn't help but think, as he was sure she noticed something again.
'I should really fix my nightmares' Rio thought as he walked into the classroom.
[A-3]
That's the name of the class where he was assigned to. The name had nothing to do with rankings or status, it was just random stuff.
Until the first semester the first year students were divided in 5 classes, each having around 500 students. After the first semester, they would be turned into 12 classes with around 200 students. And then one class for top 100 rankers. (Total in 13)
Obviously half the important characters were in this class, as is the sense of any other novel. The only reason he could say, is that the protagonist with his halo pulled all of them near him. Some heroines, villains, stepping stones and obviously a villainess
"Why are you standing at the door?" Rio heard Rebecca's voice as she walked by him.
Shaking his thoughts away, he walked in the class too. The space inside was bigger than many halls, as the tables and chairs were arranged like in stadiums, from lower to higher. He could see lots of students sitting in groups and chatting with each other. His arrival started another wave of gossip between them, as some still couldn't believe he was back or that he'd be studying with them.
Ignoring them Rio walked till the mid sections and sat on an empty chair. Amelia and Rebecca and Ayla sat on the table in front of him. Rubina was in a different class, so she had already left.
"I'm surprised you made it on time." A boy came over to his table and said.
"Sit down already. Your shining head is blinding me." Rio said, dragging the bald monk to sit down. The boy sat near him with an annoyed expression.
His name was Takashi Kenjo. A bald monk from the city of believers. He was wearing the same uniform as everyone, but a circle of beads in his left hand and sacred thread(Janeu) resting on his neck, sets him apart from others. His face was average at best, while his ears showcase big empty piercing holes, highlighting his shiny empty head.
He was also the only one who was sitting barefoot in the class. His shoes were placed outside the class, as he believes the class is a temple and wearing shoes inside is an insult.
He was Rio's roommate in the dorms. A supporting character in the novel, and one of the many who died in the first big event.
Ignoring him, Rio turned his eyes towards the rest of the class. His gaze stopping on the characters he could identify from the novel.
'Katherine Winston, The Ice Enchantress. The cold heroine of the novel. Noah's sister and Leon's harem member.'
'Amaya Stormswill, The Savant Sage. The smart heroine with a dangerous mind.'
'Valtor Shade, The Shadow Sentinel. Leon's rival in the academy arcs.'
'Edward Sinclair, a petty villain in the beginning stages. Who'll die a horrible death.'
'Morphius Thornfang, Leon's supporting little brother. Werewolf tribe's next heir.'
'Celia Spencer, The Wailing Witch, a villainess who's crazy about magic.'
'Alaric Darhk, the hybrid of vampire and werewolf bloodlines.'
Other than these there were still some other characters who played important roles in the story too, but at that time Rio's gaze went towards the door, where the sound of high heels could be heard from.
The professor of first year class A-3 entered the room. As anyone could guess from the teacher of the protagonist's class, she is hot. Humm humhh, she is pretty, I mean pretty talented. Yes, that's it. Pretty talented, that's what she is.
[Holy cow! It's the Stormfire Sorceress.]
[I didn't know we were going to get her as our classroom teacher.]
[She's my idol.]
[She's even prettier than in photos.]
[I'm in Love Again.]
[I'm gonna fail all her classes, cause I can't see, hear or say anything but her praises.]
[I can fail happily if she's my teacher next time too.]
[Look at her walk, I wish I was that stepladder and she'd step on me.]
[Ohh weird, but I like that.]
She had just entered as lots of students started making noises with faces filled with excitement, especially boys. Even girls were talking about her with admiration and pride. Though it wasn't hard to understand them as the Classroom teacher of A-3 class was Freya Morgan, also known as Stormfire Sorceress.
She's also the youngest archmage with dual elements in human history. The S rank awakener specialised in air and fire magic.
She became S ranker at the age of 22, she is also believed to have the potential to reach rank SSS or even Zephyr. Her strength in air and fire magic coupled with her beauty has earned her the title of Stormfire Sorceress. She had greyish hair, and her eyes were as red as a burning coal. Her facial expressions and personality is similar to the element she practices, sometimes as gentle as air and of angered, as fierce as fire.
A smile came to Rio's face as he looked at her. She was his senior 2 years ago and now she's his homeroom teacher.
- Clap! Clap!
"Attention students! I am your homeroom teacher and until the first semester, I will be in charge of you all. Today is the first day of your academy, so let me introduce myself. My name is Freya Morgan. My rank is S+. I'll be teaching you magic theory and elemental awareness. Some of you have had your elemental awakening successfully, those who didn't, it's my job to help you find and teach your element."
"The academy doesn't entertain slackers and lazy people, and everything in this academy will be based on your result and performance. Your status, background, what you have or who you order, don't matter. Only when you show results will you be appreciated by the academy." She said with a stern expression. Her eyes scanning whole crowd.
"I hope you all have read and remembered all the rules that were sent to you. If anyone has any questions you can ask them right now." She said and concluded her lecture.
"Ma'am won't we start with introductions, we haven't seen many students?" One of the students asked his question.
"Didn't you guys have a week to get to know each other." Freya said, "And next time, you want to ask something, raise your hand, stand up, and then ask your questions. That's rule 101 of any class."
The student who was called out, smiled and started looking into his books to hide his face.
"Anyone else." Ignoring him, Freya asked again. Her gaze glancing towards the whole class.
"What about the attendance?" Another student raised his hand and asked.
"You didn't read the booklets sent to you, did you?" Instead of answering, Freya asked him a question in return.
Some students started giggling around him, making the one who was standing sit back down with an embarrassed face. He just wanted her to take attendance so he could hear her call his name. Was that too much to ask?
Crushing his dreams, Miss Freya replied "Read that once you go back today. To answer your question, every door in the class had mana sensors installed in them, so as soon as you pass through them, it records the data through your wristwatches and that's it."
Hearing her say that, many students glanced at their watches and the scanner on the door.
This was a nice method, as it recorded the data automatically once any student entered the class. It saved the time wasted on checking on every student or calling their names. This also saved the chance of someone missing their classes or asking for someone else's help -as the students couldn't take off their wrist watches without permission in the academy, so no one else beside them could mark their present.
There's also the rule that every student needed to maintain 75% attendance at the minimum if they wanted to take part in final exams. Without proper reasons or permissions, if one didn't meet this criteria then they'd either have to repeat their year or be directly expelled from the academy.
"Miss Freya, what about the freshers party? When will that be?" One of the girls in the front rows stood up and asked.
Her question brought many people to perk up their ears, as they were all excited about the party. After the entrance ceremony, senior students along with student council members organise a party only for the students. It's like a welcoming ceremony for all the new students.
"There has been no news about that yet, if there's an update, members of the student council would come and announce that." Freya replied, her answer dampening the mood, but noticing this she continued "But from what I've heard, it'll probably happen around the first month's end or earlier weeks of second month. So you guys can get familiar with the academy, staff and your classmates till then."
"For the entire period of 6 months from now, I expect you to maintain your image as best you can, many of you may not know this but the academy also cares about the student's reputation and their behaviour in the classes, so be careful of the rules you break. As there might be some punishments."
"Now that that's done, let's start with the class. Open the book of _ " Freya said and started walking towards the dashboard, when someone interrupted her lecture and asked.
"May I come in, miss?"
(Why is this idiot late again? I even solved that monkey brain for him in canteen.) Rio said, looking at the haggard protagonist, standing at the door.
