Chapter 6 - Welcome To Horizon
The arrival of dawn marked the official start of the academy arc which will cover the half content of the novel for four years.
Tidying myself, I dressed in a suit provided by the academy making my hair, I took some time to admire my beauty.
Black hair with golden eyes that seems to shine, my charm is enough to make any celebrity fall in love with me if it was in my previous.
Alas in this world it can be said slightly above average.
Such is life.
I walked outside my inn looking for the taxi I ordered.
Nearing the academy I could see a huge crowd of people with students.
Getting down on the taxi I could see a huge line of limousines with symbols of the nobles.
A warning I read in the novel, touching Noble's limousine is asking yourself to get killed by the Noble.
Don't say touching I feel looking in that direction is already a death wish.
Trying to find my way through the crowd I arrived at the gate of the horizon.
The smartwatch, that I was wearing is provided by the academy it serves both as identification and a medium for getting all the instructions and notifications sent by the academy.
Completing my identification process I took the first into the academy.
Just a glance of the academy from the gate is enough to intimidate someone. It was a mini-city in itself.
Many training grounds along with high buildings with the big oval dome-shaped stadium at the centre.
It's just like a mini-city enough for someone to get lost on their first day.
"Just how much money did they spend billions, trillions or more than that".
After all, it's ranked number one hero academy for nothing.
Every 1st year is ordered to arrive at the oval-shaped stadium up to 8 AM.
At the entrance of the stadium I was ordered by the guards to stand in according to the rank, I obtain at the entrance.
The horizon has 4000 seats. 2800 for the hero training course and 1200 for the hero's support course.
Hero's support course refers to the occupation that helps in their path like potion-making, blacksmithing, equipment making improving the technology etc.
The basic requirements to enter hero's class horizon, are that you must have achieved 1-star before 17 and you must have at least a bronze grade bloodline.
A normal bloodline may achieve 1 star before 17 but still with bloodline limiting its future the kingdom doesn't want to spend too many resources on them, after all, there are other academics besides horizon.
Remembering there was only 200 bronze, 1500 silver, 900 golden, 170 platinum and 30 diamond ranked while the hero support has normal bloodline.
One may think most of the students would be bronze bloodline but that was not the case as only 1 out 100 of them were able to awaken within the timeline to make it into the academy.
My rank was 2680 just 120 up from the last.
"How fortunate".I will be getting disgusting looks from the first day.
My clothes were enough to identify my status as a commoner. Even the clothes of the servants of nobles were a thousand times better than mine. I remembered reading a phase of a noble beating a commoner just because he passed before him
I stood at the position at the end of the line in the stadium.
Most of 1 st year have already arrived with the senior sitting in the stadium.
Fortunately being at the end of the line not many seem to notice me.
There were some VIP boxes in the stadium which were for the top 10 students of the year or you have a remarkable achievement after being accepted by the school.
The air inside the stadium is filled with the fragrance of the nobles.
" These nobles surely pay too much attention to thier looks. Their body smells as if they take showers in perfume."Lucas muttered.p
Most of the students hearing belong to noble or associated with the houses under the nobles.
"Hmmm".
A loud sound was heard in the stadium with a man in his 50s walking on stage arriving in front of the mike.
" Hello to you all".
"I am Josh Stenson, the Vice Principal of Horizon. I am a 9- star warrior. You all are the future aspirations and hope of humanity. You will be under the constant burdens of society and to help you forge a better path both for yourselves and the world. We the teachers of the horizon will try to guide you to the best of our abilities".
"The peace of current era is veil under which minor war with demons takes place now and then.
We cannot be negligent to ensure our security, so try your best to get strong. "
"One more thing those who are late will have run 5 times around the stadium. I don't care whether you belong to common background or relatives of the king. Unless you complete your quota you are not allowed to enter the classroom. You will be getting notifications of the classroom on the watch. So that's all have a pleasant day".
Huu... That's it.
Hmm. It finished earlier than expected.
A huge commotion broke out between the students that were punished. Being the best academy doesn't give a face to your social standing.
Neglecting their banter, I walked towards the classroom.
[E-4]
That's the classroom I got with each classroom having 100 students.
Opening the door I peeked at the classroom from the corner. It was big with some students already present.
Fredrick Frost is the protagonist with blue-haired and purple eyes, with broad shoulders having a height of almost six feet with a mature face.
Rose Seyfried one of the female leads has stunning beauty, with a well-round face having smooth white skin having a well-developed body from top to bottom. Her long pink hair reaching the waist, with a face needing no makeup display an innocent face that has an aura of pride surrounding her.
Belonging to count family she has been already proposed for marriage many times only to meet refusal.
And finally the villain Charles Warren, his innocent appearance may fool you because from inside this fellow is rotten. A wolf in sheep clothing.
He hates Fredrick to the core. Both he and Fredrick are sons of Duke who is supporting pillar of the kingdom with 9-star rank and he has developed an inferiority complex due to Fredrick performing better with gold bloodline while he remained in shadow though he has a diamond grade.
"Wow, all the named characters have taken the stage."I muttered myself inwardly.
The students from the noble hierarchy having already made their factions before entering the academy have already taken their seats.
Me belonging neither faction searched for a seat far away from them.
There were four columns. I decided to seat on the third last row of the second column.
With Fredrick being there on the first row everyone going to be focused on him in the coming days.
No one would notice. I planned to stay low key as much as possible until I became a 3 star.
Bam
With a loud sound that echoed inside the classroom, the teacher entered the classroom with heavy footsteps taking her position beside the podium.
"Nice to meet you all. Except for some basic introduction and tour, we are not going to do much today. You can relax all you want today cause after today you are going to enjoy a special treatment that is made especially for you, my talented student".
A sweet smile flashed on her lips which sent a chill down one's spine. If not for her bewitching face one may mistake it as a devil smile.
Boom
With a flick of her hand air gushed to a student who instead of focusing in class was peeking at a girl sitting beside him
"So my dear students don't lose focus while I am speaking something otherwise you are gonna get a special treatment from me".
Sigh
Clearing her throat and placing her hands on her back she looked at the class.
"Let's begin the introduction, I am Ami Young who is going to be your homeroom teacher".
Ami Young 8 star who is sent here in case of emergency. She has special ability danger detection that helps her sense danger due to her high perception stats which almost reached 9-star.
One may misunderstand her as having a funny and easy personality but to her enemies, she is ruthless.
Although she treats kindly to others, still her mature beauty is too much for students to bear thinking of her as a teacher. I don't know due to having an outlook of 28 years or due to my strange liking, I seem to like her more than Rose.freewebn(o)vel.com
Her midnight black hair of shoulders length accompanied by curvy figure things waist with cherry lips, as icing on the cake looked like for a ripen fruit with long and slender legs.
"Now let's start with your introduction. Each student starting from there can get up. Say your name and rank".
Damn.
"I am gonna be humiliated on the first. Why do you have to say the rank? Is name not enough for the introduction" I cursed silently.
" Landon Bett rank 2198"
"Alfred Stok rank 1256".
"Atticus Terk rank 579".
" Laura Pain rank 212"
"Ashley Brown rank 43".
The rank was getting smaller as the students introduce themselves. A frown appeared on my face as I notices there were only 4 students in 2000. I am in them.
Here comes my number next.
" Lucas Brightt rank 2680".
I noticed that many were not paying any attention after stating their name and rank while some gave me a sneer on listening.
Somehow I had already prepared my heart for this situation still it felt bad to get on bad terms with them on the first day.
" Johnny Weiss rank 10."
" Park Shin rank 9."
"Fredrick Frost rank 2m"
"Rose Seyfried rank 3."
"Charles Warren rank 1."
After roll call was over many were shocked and some were looking at each other. Even Ami was checking the student's list on her tablet.
Cause all the top 50 at the beginning rank are occupied by platinum and diamond bloodline students while Fredrick has a golden bloodline.
Evil Piercer or doom piercer the name of the spear used by Fredrick is an ancient artefact. The strongest weapon in the story. The spear is integrated into his bloodline upgrading it. It is s generally in the shape of a rod with a C rank grade but as Fredrick grows stronger it will gain its original shape.
This weapon is part of the reason he was second. Both Fredrick and Charles got the score on the entrance test so their rank is based on bloodline.
During the year the gap will be widened while Charles will be soon pushed out of the top.
Whatever may be the reason, anyhow the protagonist will be in limelight in his every move.
Even you make him stand in between 9-star warriors still somehow he will be able to draw attention.
While others as an extra or mob are going to struggle for their survival every day to live in this cruel world.
Poor me.
