Chapter 514 Practical Training Grounds



[Eon's POV: ]

The class was cheerful once again and this time, there were many talks about the class point thing around us so for just a quick information, class points were the points that the teachers gave to certain students during or after their classes.

They were the same as the points that we received after our entrance exams and at the end of every week, these class points were added to the grand total of points of [Wealth] points that a student possessed in their stars.

It was a kind of reward system of the academy and every teacher can give a total of ten points to any student or a bunch of students after their class but it was all up to them.

Mostly, they only gave these points to those who did something very extraordinary that surprised the teacher or something similar to that, so getting a class point was a difficult task and certainly not something up to us.

But still, I just got two class points in two of our very first classes and even Rein got one for something that we weren't supposed to do in the class.

And, well, she was genuinely in a good mood thanks to that.

"Hm-hmmm~."

Yeah. A really good mood.

"So Miss Uriel? Any plans for the next class?" I asked while smiling at my cheerful lady and she looked at me with a big, closed-mouth smirk and nodded vigorously.

"I'm going to have fun~."

And then she started laughing slowly like a little girl that tried to act evil but instead of finding it cool or cute, this only made me more concerned about our slow, happy, and problem-free life.

But well, thanks to my pretty speech from our last class, things were all pretty well now... just that the captain of [True dragon] our great Alpha, was having some weird thoughts like making 'us' part of 'his' team.

Those were some funny thoughts but probably, under certain circumstances, we might just join his little party for a short fun.

But that wasn't happening anytime soon.

-Thump. Thump. Thump.

We heard some new footsteps and this time, different from the last one where they were so light that most of the students didn't even notice it, this time, they were so heavy that none of the students couldn't not notice something so loud.

So, as soon as everyone heard them, they quieted down and looked towards the doors and excitedly looked at the entrance with quickened hearts.

-Thump. Thump.

[[ "Woh… he really is different from the typical ones." ]]

[[ "Different from half-elves, half-dwarfs are some of the rarest minorities so he would obviously be unique." ]]

-Thump.

The teacher that walked in this time was more than a six-foot-tall person who had arms that seemed bigger than the heads of some of the students in our class and unique round ears that signified his dwarven lineage.

But he was too tall for a dwarf, and too strong looking for a normal human so everyone could just tell he was a special one like their vampire teacher.

And he was tall, had strong-looking legs visible under his short tight pants, had a big brown beard that almost made him look like a bear, and also had a pair of blazing orange eyes that any experienced person could tell were as special as those unique people that had faced and cheated death more than a few time in their lives now.

He was special, and he was also one of the few that had obtained the knight rank of a [King]. And he was a famous person too. One of the most famous ones in this academy for his…

"Atteeeentionnnn students!"

"SIR YES SIR!"

A few of us including Uriel and I shouted with a smile on our faces and many others were the same.

"Whhhhhhat is this lactureeee!"

"MAGIC AND WEAPON UNDERSTANDINGGGG, SIR!"

She was having fun, and I was also enjoying this exciting little thing.

"Magicccccc and weapon! What do we do to understand theeemmmmmm!"

"WE PRACTICEEEE, SIR!"

"Whaereeeee do we practice, student!"

"IN THE TRAINING GROUNDSSSS, SIR!"

"Then whaaaaaaat are we still doing here!"

"AWAITING FOR YOUR ORDERSSSS, SIR!"

"Alright, that's good enough."

He couldn't hold back his laughter so he just laughed out while pressing his eyes and shaking his head.

"Everyone has seen the practical training grounds, right? Those who don't know, please follow your classmates, everyone. If anyone gets lost, I will send some of my puppies to fetch them."

"SIR YES SIR!"

Rein was the loudest in this last one and even he noticed how a girl sitting at the very end of this classroom could shout so loudly without any special means.

I can tell he already had his eyes on the two of us but now, he was even more interested in us.

[[ Hehehe master. I like this grandpa. He also has many~ puppies. I saw them with him before he came here! ]]

[[ "They are actually wolves, Celes." ]]

[[ They are just cute puppies, master! Some even played with me~! ]]

[[ "Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say lady powerful butterfly." ]]

The puppies this time were (Blue) rank creatures called elemental wolves that possessed different elemental powers depending on their upbringing and lives.

They were rare creatures similar to povpois' but not as much rare and special as them.

'Still, the fact that this person has fourteen of them just shows how special he is. And also the fact that he calls them puppies like this weird partner butterfly of mine.'

And we can't forget his weird as always occasional sounds that were a famous thing on the Maginet that many of the students present here were already aware of.

'He is pretty much a celebrity.'

Still, that voice filled with great care and warmth that he shows when not shouting in that weird manner makes him one of the most loved characters of this academy.

'The aura around him is almost like Grandpa and Uriel's grandpa too. And, almost everyone knows all his classes happen in the training grounds so his popularity among the students who have some knowledge about the academy, the famous teachers, and the facilities, is just great.'

And Uriel likes him, his teaching method involving direct one-on-one duels and on-fight instructions, and his puppies are some of the most famous pets on the Maginet.

'But at least they don't look 'unique' like the usual standards she uses to define 'cute'.'

Those wolves look cool, and even though they look cool, she never said she wanted one, showing her eternal love towards peculiar-looking creatures.

"Right right right. If I forgot to mention, you are supposed to go to the indoor training grounds."

"SIR YES SIR!"

"Hahaha. You guys are just as funny as your previous batch. Probably filled with more unique hidden, rough gems that need proper polish.

Hohoho. Quickly reach there in five minutes. I will be there shortly."

"SIIIIIIR, YES SIR~!"

He smiled at us this time as the entire class shouted that, and I knew we were loud enough to be audible to the classes next to us but thankfully, the classrooms were covered with special magic.

We can be as loud as we wanted… no. I didn't mean it that way.

Anyway, there were outdoor and indoor practical training grounds and the indoor ones were some of the most modern facilities after the castle wings in this academy.

It had a wide area and, as soon as we all left the class, ran to the other side of the castle, or just used some skills to reach there quickly, we saw our great facility, which had much advanced magical equipment, places dedicated to the personal duels, many pieces of equipment for those who used physical strength, and also mage equipment who used magical and mental strength.

The place was entirely made of solid mana stones that were further enhanced into something that was safe for the students to use, was good enough to prevent any serious injuries, and was strong enough to withstand even the power of the teachers.

There were magical lights on the ceiling, mechanics that produced lights, magically engineered equipment resembling artificial training drones, and last but the most important aspect of this training ground… was definitely that wall of weapons.

"Wow! They really have real weapons here! Look at those swords!"

"Forget the swords, look at those magic wands and staffs! I want that one, damnnn!"

"My god, my god! Look at those shields! Look at them! They shine brighter than my future!"

"Hahaha! Shields? Look at those blades! Look at them!"

"Hmm? Just now…"

I suddenly heard a familiar voice and turned around to look behind us and…

"Hmm? What? Why are you…?"

[[ Master~! Sister Carla~! ]]

As soon as I turned around, aside from the students of our class, the students of class (B) entering this training grounds entered my vision and at the very front of the students of class (B) was my lovely big sister Carla... whom Lucifer had no connection to.

She had excited starry eyes as she looked at all the swords, daggers, blades, and weapons on the wall of weapons, a place full of normal weapons and basic to intermediate-level artifacts. But that excitement calmed down when her eyes fell on me, and then on Uriel standing beside me.

She knew who we were but she didn't actually have any prior acquaintance with the two of us.

She knew she wasn't supposed to interact with those she didn't know, but she was also smart enough to grasp what it meant when not just their class but, we and our class were also in the practical training grounds.

And as soon as she figured this little thing out, the surprise on her face vanished and she calmed herself down quickly, looked at the floor, and stealthily smirked like she usually did when things unexpectedly went a good way and started walking in our direction while looking at the two of us.

[[ "Chry first, Carla second. Alf would probably be third so last would be Zoe. It sure is a pretty simple sequence." ]]

Uriel was smiling as she looked back at Carla and I couldn't help but shake my head at these two girls.

They were pretty similar when it came to some certain things and one of them was their liking towards duels. And this was a training ground meant for duels.

Rein already had an opponent in mind, and I was just going to sit back and watch them fight but now that this big sister of mine was here…

"Hello, captain of [Dark society] and vice-captain of [Wisdom phoenix]."

That little dream of mine was as good as lost.
