Chapter 91: Top spot
Silva's mana right now was way too high, so high that the best mages in this kingdom would beg for it.
So for her to have half his mana, her magical abilities were no joke at all. There was definitely something special about her.
After a while, the teacher walked into the class. She was a beautiful lady dressed in robes, though it did little to hide her curves.
Even though she carried a sexy air around her, she still oozed intelligence, she also looked like someone that would curse at you. Her dark lustrous hair matched her abyss like eyes.
"Good day, crickets. I'm your homeroom teacher," she said. Her voice was insulting; normally teachers wouldn't talk like that, but no one took offense.
"I know most of you feel special that you got into the S class of the academy. You all feel like you have become somewhat important.
But I'll burst that little bubble you're in. You aren't special, you aren't important, and any day someone can take your place here.
So let me set the ground rules now. It's as simple as this: if you don't do what you are told, you will be punished. That's the logic of life," she said.
She hadn't even introduced herself, yet she was talking all around. It wasn't until she was done that she took a piece of chalk and wrote her name.
Miss Elizabeth Reinfield.
She placed the chalk down, then turned around and faced the class.
"Today, after you leave here, you should go around the academy and see what sort of classes they offer, because before the day runs out, you should have selected the courses that you will be taking.
Though the first-year classes haven't started, you can audit the second-year classes and get future ideas of what courses will be available when you get there, and that will allow you to make the decision of what you want now.
Or you can read the course books and know what course you would be taking from there. Whatever option you choose, it's up to you.
Now, the next thing is the rules of the academy. I know some of you have read the rule book, but there will always be idiots who don't.
So for their sake, I'll explain the basic rules. All fights are prohibited, only official duels are allowed.
You can challenge someone to a duel using your ID card, and the person has to accept it before you can fight. I believe that rankings will be assigned at the end of the day on your ID card.
When you get your numbers, duels change shape, because someone lower than you can duel for your position, and you must accept.
And if he duels and wins three times in a row, he gets your position, and whatever class you're in, he will take your place.
But someone higher can't force someone lower into a duel; that isn't allowed. Now there are also some additional rules for duels.
You and the person dueling must agree to the type of duel, because not all students are fully combat-inclined, so the two of you must make a decision as to what the duel will be.
If no decision can be reached, then a teacher will be involved and will make the call through certain methods.
These are the basic rules of the duels. Are there any questions?" she asked.
Silva raised his hand. She looked over at him and chose him. "Say your name and then ask your question," she said.
Silva got up and spoke. "My name is Silva, from Ribest," he replied respectfully.
"So you're that Silva, the one Elias was yapping about. You scored the highest this academy has ever seen," she said, making all the students turn to look at Silva.
"I didn't know it was the highest, I just did my best," Silva said.
"Well, it was. But now is not the time for that, ask your question," she said.
"My question is simple. If someone attacks me in secret and I defend myself, and that causes me to beat him up, would I get punished?" Silva asked.
"Not really, just a warning or so. As long as there is evidence that it was self defense. In your case, I doubt that there will be anyone willing to attack you. You have a strength score over 600; even some instructors would struggle to get that.
And if they did attack you, I'm sure they wouldn't be attacking anyone else for a while," she said with a giggle.
'This woman, she's been making sure the class knows that I'm way stronger than them. I don't know what her main plan is, but I can guess what will happen now.
These stupid classmates of mine will begin to make plans to knock me down a notch, no matter what it costs them.
I think she wants to use me as the catalyst that will induce their growth and make them work harder, just to take me down.
I am pissed that she's using me, but I have to say she is a smart woman, no doubt about that,' Silva thought as he sat down.
He scanned around the class without looking and noticed the purple-haired girl glancing at him from the corners of her eyes.
'Hu hu, what is this now? Has she registered me as an opponent? Strong people will always take note of strong people. It's like a lion and a tiger; if both of them are found in one place, they will begin to monitor each other.
Especially when there is a need to show who comes out on top. I can tell just by looking at her that she craves the top spot, but because of me, it just got a whole lot harder for her to get it.
Honestly, I don't plan on leaving this spot, so she will have to suffer in vain,' Silva subconsciously let out a smile as he thought about it, why would he leave, the spot had a lot of benefits.
