Chapter 8.1
ㅤ
“You’re late.”
ㅤ
As I entered the 2-D class, a man with long hair and sharp eyes, quite unusual for a man, spoke to me.
ㅤ
I remember him.
ㅤ
Choi Do-won. He’s a teacher who mainly teaches upper-class students and was described as someone who’s quite discriminatory when it comes to abilities.
ㅤ
「𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙞 𝘿𝙤-𝙬𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝘿 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨.」
ㅤ
As if he could read my mind, Choi Do-won sighed and continued.
ㅤ
“It’s temporary. Don’t make me explain it twice.”
ㅤ
Choi Do-won had an expression that clearly showed that he was annoyed by me.
ㅤ
Well, considering Choi Do-won’s character, the person he would hate the most in this room would be me.
ㅤ
Because even though my grades have been declining, I still haven’t left the academy like a worm, refusing to face reality.
ㅤ
“This is quite a sight, even for the first day. I don’t even want to hear your excuse. I’ll put you at the very end of the list for choosing electives. No complaints, right?”
ㅤ
“Yes.”
ㅤ
I quickly glanced around, and it seemed like the other students had almost finished choosing their electives. Complaining after coming in late would only make me look bad.
ㅤ
Thud.
ㅤ
A sheet of paper that was scattered in front of Choi Do-won quickly flew in front of me and stopped.
ㅤ
I picked it up, went to an empty seat, and began to read the contents.
ㅤ
【Advanced Basic Combat Spell】
ㅤ
【Influence of the Environment on Spells】
ㅤ
【Exploring Dragon Veins and Places of Interest】
ㅤ
【History and Origin of Eastern Spells】
ㅤ
【Spell Manipulation and Modification】
ㅤ
【Forbidden Arts】
ㅤ
【Martial Arts and Physical Techniques】
ㅤ
【. . . . . .】
ㅤ
The school’s curriculum is largely divided into two types. There are grade-based classes, which are divided into a total of four classes from A to D, and elective classes, where students can choose their own subjects, just like in a university, which account for a certain percentage.
ㅤ
Originally, there are countless types of spells and schools of thought, and each person has their own specialty, so this method was bound to be much more efficient.
ㅤ
「𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙨 𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙨 𝙄’𝙫𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚.」
ㅤ
However, I had a rough idea of what I wanted to choose.
ㅤ
After much deliberation, these were the classes I chose:
ㅤ
【History and Origin of Eastern Spells】
ㅤ
【Spell Manipulation and Modification】
ㅤ
【Exploring Dragon Veins and Places of Interest】
ㅤ
【Advanced Basic Combat Spell】
ㅤ
【Shikigami Creation and Research】
ㅤ
These are subjects that I can use to demonstrate my knowledge and skills to a moderate degree, and there’s nothing in the storyline that I particularly dislike.
ㅤ
「𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙤𝙡𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙧-𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨.」
ㅤ
With me and a few students around me, all the students’ registration forms were finally submitted.
ㅤ
And after a while, Choi Do-won raised a few sheets of paper in the air and opened his mouth again.
ㅤ
“Most of the subjects have been selected. Now, it’s time for those who need to re-select their electives.”
ㅤ
Thud, thud.
ㅤ
About five students received the papers again, and finally, only one registration form was left.
ㅤ
I blinked, thinking, ‘No way,’ and Choi Do-won spoke to me with a slight smirk.
ㅤ
“Han Kang-yoon. You don’t need to choose your subjects again since you were late. Just check the contents.”
ㅤ
Thud.
ㅤ
I received the paper that Choi Do-won handed me with a sense of foreboding and read it.
ㅤ
【Comprehensive Combat Practice】
ㅤ
【Spell Manipulation and Modification】
ㅤ
【Forbidden Arts】
ㅤ
【Shikigami Creation and Research】
ㅤ
【1 on 1 Exchange and Joint Practice】
ㅤ
「𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨?」
ㅤ
All the relatively safe subjects that were easy to get good grades in were gone, and they were replaced with subjects that D-class students would definitely want to avoid.
ㅤ
After checking the contents, I looked at Choi Do-won with a look of disbelief.
ㅤ
Choi Do-won responded indifferently.
ㅤ
“All the processes were carried out fairly and rationally according to the spells created by the school. Are there any complaints?”
ㅤ
“. . . . . . .”
ㅤ
There couldn’t possibly be a student who could answer that question.
ㅤ
“Then I guess there’s no problem.”
ㅤ
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of mechanical devices appeared before Choi Do-won’s eyes. And they were delivered to each student’s desk, one by one.
ㅤ
They were terminals made by the Hwang family, one of the three great families, famous for combining technology and spells.
ㅤ
“I think you already know this, but starting from the second year, the proportion of grade-based classes decreases significantly. Therefore, today, only elective classes will be held. Check your schedule on the terminal and I hope none of you are late like someone. That’s all.”
ㅤ
Thud, thud.
ㅤ
Choi Do-won left the classroom, walking leisurely as if he didn’t want to stay here for even a moment longer.
ㅤ
I sighed and picked up the terminal to check the schedule.
ㅤ
【10:40 / Comprehensive Combat Practice】
ㅤ
The subject I wanted to avoid the most, Comprehensive Combat Practice, was waiting for me at the very top.
