YM778.TV Chapter 26 Gideon As Deskmate
Azzy can\'t help agree with him. He felt like this homeroom teacher doesn\'t like his job.
The teacher continued, "Anyway, let\'s move on to the important things. Since you are now upper-grade students, it\'s time for all of you to experience the Level-2 region of the Arcana world.
Next week, your trip is decided to the region of Nlethemar. You\'ll tag along with the ninth and tenth-grade students of our division. Of course, the teachers will also be joining, just in case."
Upon hearing the good news, the gloominess disappeared from everyone\'s face, although they can\'t help but curse this teacher in their minds listening to his grumble, "it\'s such a hassle. What are we? Babysitters or something… Level-2 is essentially harmless to anyone above rank-4.
Even rank-3 wouldn\'t necessarily be harmed that much if they encounter a monster. At most, their bones will get smashed. The school can heal them either way…"
The only one who agreed with the teacher is Azzy, although for a different reason. He thought the monsters in the level-2 region wouldn\'t make him stronger.
For the past three months he stayed at Affea\'s mansion, he read many books that are available in the mansion to understand how Arcana world works.
He doesn\'t know where this Nlethemar is but if there\'s one thing he knows for sure, the strongest monster in a level-2 region is a rank-4.
So, rank-4 monsters below gold grade will not help him much. A purple grade will barely suffice to improve his level.
He has to pray that a higher grade monster was living in the region. Not to mention, it had to be a lightning attribute to improve Vajra.
Or else, he can only look for a way to enter level-3 after becoming familiar with his current strength.
After all, unlike others, he only has 15 years left to become a rank-seven and travel back to his timeline. If he doesn\'t, his identity will be altered forever.
The teacher continued, "There are two changes, all of you going to experience this year.
First, a new combat class will be added.
And second, there will be a card creation class.
Since the school timetable can\'t fit additional two classes for everyone, they will be learned together with the higher grade students.
So, basically, your school hours will end ninety minutes later than the others.
Your timetable will be posted on the notice board, later. Check it out in the break.
Is there anything else? Nope, there\'s nothing else to remind. It\'s your first day. Feel free to do whatever you want. I\'m going to take a nap in the meantime."
As he went back to his seat, he took a card out of nowhere and threw it towards the door.
A barrier formed over the door.
*Yawn* "Don\'t bother trying to sneak out. You can\'t."
This lazy homeroom teacher slept with his head on the desk.
As the rest of the five knew his personality very well, they long expected it and get busy with their self-study
Azzy saw everyone took out their textbooks. He took out his storage card that\'s bound to his soul and took out a grade-8 textbook he received from the school.
"Habitats of monsters"
The textbook was about the environments that each kind of monster stays…
But, before he concentrates on the book, Gideon disturbed him with some useless information.
"Do you know that the Galarian beasts are often born in Nlethemar?"
Azzy asked while turning the pages in disinterest, "What is a Galarian beast?"
"You don\'t know?" Gideon was taken aback. He then explained, "The king of Nlethemar region is a Galarian. It is the only beast with a platinum grade. I read that it was originally a gold grade but mutated twice for some reason and rose to platinum grade. It was said that the overlord of the region is as strong as a mid-rank-6 Arcana master."
Azzy became interested as he never heard of such a strong beast that existed in the wild and that too at a level-2 region. A platinum grade monster will definitely helps his Vajra. He became excited for a second.
Gideon continued, "But, no one has ever captured it. Very few claimed that they battled the monster. I bet they are lying."
Upon hearing his words, Azzy got irritated. He felt he was excited for no reason. \'Are all Crescent clan members this annoying?\'
Right then, Gideon gave out another piece of information.
"Still, rank-3 and rank-4 Galarian beasts are found in a few places. So, no need to search for the Galarian king. For rank-3 with lightning attribute Arcana Masters like me, it is one of the top choices to upgrade my Arcana and enter into rank-4. I only hope I don\'t face tough competition with other academies, this time.
\'A lightning attribute, huh! I guess it\'s worth checking it out.\' Azzy already turned a deaf ear for his babbling and once again concentrated on the book until the bell rang.
Until lunchtime, it wasn\'t much different from a regular academy. The students were taught subjects like Mathematics, History, Science, and their native Language Orlon.
Azzy who didn\'t go to school for 4 years didn\'t get a little bit of these advanced studies. If it wasn\'t because of the chatterbox sitting beside him, he might have already slept in the class.
During the lunch period, he made friends with the rest of the class. As a high rank-4, he was welcomed by everyone except for Leonard Light.
And by the time the lunch period is over, more than two-thirds of the students who tried to befriend him backed away.
As a smart person, it wasn\'t hard for Azzy to figure out the reason. But, he didn\'t care about the treatment. He wasn\'t here to make friends either way.
In the afternoon, the special classes started.
The first class in the afternoon was a study of runes.
Azzy was interested in the subject, remembering the runes on the awakening stone slab of their clan\'s founder.
A lady entered the class. She was pretty, attracting the attention of all the boys in the class.
Looking at the students, she smiled as she introduced herself, "I\'m Exea. We will be spending this one hour time together for the next year. I hope we get along…"
"Ah! So beautiful…" Gideon muttered under his breath as he stared at her in a daze.
Azzy observed that the rest of the students are also in a daze as if some spell has been cast on them.
On other hand, Azzy who spent a year with Evelyn was completely immune to her charms, surprising the teacher a bit.
\'Interesting kid.\' Her eyes lingered on Azzy for a couple of seconds before she deactivated the effect.
"I guess all of you have basic knowledge about the runic alphabets, right?"
Everyone except Azzy nodded their heads.
She didn\'t mind his reaction and continued, "Since today is the first day, let\'s revise a few beginner topics. After all, everyone took two months of vacation…"
Azzy thought it was a good idea since he might be able to understand something this time.
"So, first of all, let\'s talk about the history of runic alphabets. I bet many of you heard of this story of the origin of the Arcana masters.
It was the time before the first Epoch."
