Chapter 5, Let’s just say, I’m Awesome

Saints, it is a hidden job that has the same name as a powerhouse do.

Grade 9 saint, and hidden job saints…

They're the same, but actually not.

While the latter is a hidden job, the former is a grade one can achieve when they reach the pinnacle.

However, that doesn't mean they'd be invincible to other below their rank. In fact, even a grade 1 can kill those of the higher rank, with strict rule and condition.

Furthermore, those that leap through rank…

The titleholder still out there, hiding from everyone's eyes, sight, even hearing. Those that know of them either died already or someone that strong enough to contend against them.

And, the title 'titleholder' is the only thing Lucas know about them.

Whether they're human or Native, he knows nothing about it…

Stab

Groan

The zombie stabbed by the bone spear groaning, and souls hidden inside the zombie entered the bone spear. While so, the spear transformed into a steel javelin.

"Whoa… this is so cool! Master! Is this an imbued weapon like yours?" Alphonse said, excited by his bone spear which transformed to a metal javelin.

"it's only level one, and with your talent as a grade 2 worker, even if you're a saint… you still need to keep wary of your surrounding." Lucas said while throwing the spear in his hand towards Alphonse.

Scared by the sudden throw, Alphonse duck while protecting his head.

Kishaaa

"See, you're already scared at a spear that thrown even though the trajectory isn't towards you…" Lucas said, slowly walking to the ghouls' corpse that suddenly appeared within Alphonse's shadow.

"Is that a ghoul?"

Looking towards the grotesque being, that's semi-transparent and showing their innards while encased by a thin skin which still showing their organs inside. Still beating even though its brain already pierced by Lucas' spear.

"Yes, a 3rd grade one… you need to be wary of your surrounding, in this place there's the whole monster that scarier than your beati… training regime"

"You just said a beating…" glaring towards Lucas.

"You misheard…"

"No, I really hear that you almost said that my training is a beating! Damn it, master!"

"No way, how could I beat my beloved pupil? It's all training…" Lucas said, looking away and walking sideways.

"Hey! Don't run, master! No, really! Don't leave me here alone!" Alphonse shouts following the disappearing Lucas as fast as he can.

…

Sipping his tea while reading the mana in his surrounding, Lucas nonchalantly stalks the student in the academy.

"It's just the tip, it'd be alright…"

"Eh... no way"

Pfft!

Spurting his tea, Lucas shocked sensing the brain impulse of the conversation.

He's not shocked because of the conversation itself, but the fact they are man… which make him horribly frightened…

"no, no, no, I need to protect their privacy… as a good teacher… I shan't disturb them."

Lucas said, and ignoring the homo couple while marking them with his mana mark. A spell he creates to make a distinction between each person without really remember them.

Well, the spell only worked for those that unable to perceive and erase the mark.

"Marked as 'gay'… okay, let's 'train' more" Lucas muttered.

"Still doing your stalking fetish like always… Teacher Lucas…"

A voice suddenly appeared near him, startling Lucas a little bit and answered.

"It's bad to startling your teacher, you should know this, right? Female Student X"

"How rude, I've already repeatedly said that my name is Lucetiria Frau Imelda… there's no X in my name at all…" The female student frowned.

"Everyone that can't be detected by my radar is coded with 'X'… even if you have a female-like voice, I can't trust you are a female…" Lucas said sternly

"you've felt my boobs already, and you dare to say that?"

Clang

Clang

Gasp

The canteen suddenly grew louder, and murmur about Lucas' illicit relationship being cited by the students surrounding the table he's in.

"Please, don't go and spread gossip… I don't even know the difference between your breast and a table…"

Glaring angrily Imelda said, "Humph, this is why a perverted teacher like you is a bad example… just look at those horny brats from A class… it's not weird they're a bunch of horny males googling on academies' female population… not even the aunty in cafeteria out of their perverted sight…"

"Those bunch of horny students really need more 'training' I presume" crackling his knuckles Lucas stand up and head towards the gathering bunch of horny students of his.

"You bastards dare to ogle Cafetaria's aunty?! Brat! I always said that a younger woman is better!" Bang! Lucas knocked the students and drag them all at once towards the courtyard.

"Noo! You don't know the magnificence of an older lady you, stupid teacher!"

"Shut yer trap! If you have a stronger fist than me, then you can talk!"

"Such injustice!"

Class A's student scream of misery can be heard even inside the cafeteria, and the other student can only pray for their condolences.

While Imelda scratches her cheeks and blushingly said… "So he likes younger, huh… I still had a chance…"

Pumping her fist and leave the cafeteria, Imelda look towards Lucas that punishing his student in the courtyard with longing in his face.

Other students who see her, mesmerized by her beautiful and elegant proportion. Blond and straight hair, with brilliant emerald eyes.

A treat to the males' eyes.

Adoration to the females'.

Lucetiria Frau Imelda, Earl Leceteria's family's 1st daughter. Engaged to the Empire's 4th prince, known as the prodigal prince.

Earl Lucetiria that wish for the stability of his household sacrifices her towards the worst in Empire's lineage, sadly Imelda that engaged to the 4th prince make her receive the title 'Pearl that threw to the swine' which anger the 4th prince.

As mad as the prince can be, he's still someone on the Empire's lineage. He won't do something like disgracing his own fiancée, but, that doesn't mean he can't make her live like hell.

Which is why all he does to her is making her like a maid.

Treating her like a servant, to satisfy his vanity. All Imelda can do is bear with it, as long as she can do it, she'd do it. And if she can't, she'd learn how to do it.

However, rather than being reciprocated and being recognized. The prince nonchalantly declares that he'd take a baron's daughter as his fiancée and threw Imelda away…

Well, it's a fortune for her. But, that anger the earl a lot.

To distance the 4th prince from the baron daughter, Earl does a lot of things. Messing around with her, paying others to scold her, or even make trouble to the baron's daughter parents.

The rumor started to fly around every corner of the empire about the misdeed Imelda does because of her jealousy towards the Baron daughter. Even though she's the happiest beside 4th prince or, the baron's daughter, also.

Can't bear the disgrace in admitting his wrongdoing, the earl blatantly accused his own daughter and said 'you are only a disgrace towards our family! You're unneeded anymore!'.

Shock and heartbreak filled her heart, all the life she spent toiling around the 4th prince, and all the accusation threw to her, dirtied by the deeds his father do, she's become the scapegoat and punished by the law.

Blade almost reach her neck when Lucas suddenly appeared and stopped the oncoming edge, while said…

"What are you?"

At that time, the execution which is carried by the Empire suddenly stopped. At the same time, hope reignited in her eyes.

"Insolence! You dare to obstruct Fold Empire's execution…"

"What are you doing here, teacher?"

The executioner's line stopped by the crown prince's remark.

The crown prince of Fold Empire, the rising star of the Empire, the one with certainty to lead their empire to rise even higher with his status as a Class A student of University of Magic and Combat, lead by the one and only Wizard Emperor.

University of Magic and Combat is a holy land for those aiming higher place. Those that entered the place will get higher standing for sure, a student that graduate from the university guaranteed to be the leader of their household, and those commoner can lead an army after learning there.

Within the elites of the elites is a Special class, named Class A reign, in Saber, many can enter the threshold of Grade 7, King…

However, only bunch of talented person can step on the Grade 8 Emperor. Furthermore, in the history of Saber, only the Wizard Emperor can step on the borderline of the Grade 9 Saint.

Even a middle stage Grade 8 Emperor can easily decimate Fold empire alone, not to mention a grand half-step Saint, like the Wizard emperor.

Wizard Emperor always said those from Class A had a higher chance than me to step on the Saint realm. To prove his words, many achieved Grade 8 from the Class A's student, and without a doubt, they're highly loyal to the University.

Until now, there are less than 50 people entered the A-class and successfully graduated. Not one of them became embarrassment and shames the A-Class name. Given more time out of the 50s graduate, there'd definitely be a person that can enter the saint realm.

Rumor said, the teacher of A-Class, is an oddball. After Wizard emperor stops teaching the A-Class, a new teacher stand as a privileged teacher teaches the A-Class…

And, even his weakest student after his teaching, not one lower than Grade 6 master.

What astonished the world, even more, that is…

The fact, this teacher level up those students in a mere 1 year, with the higher not even Grade 3 Profession…

A teacher that teaches those form Class A, which even the Wizard Emperor think highly of…

Who dared to belittle him, and that famous teacher now stood in the execution pedestal. Talk to the executant…

The gasp of surprise filled the area, and cold sweat filled the executioner and judges back.

Lucas uncovers the piece of clothing, hidden his eyes and opened it.

The bright clear eyes he had, lies no pupil inside, looking like a dead fish's eyes. Suddenly, he sneers towards the girl.

"Class-rep, this is your country, isn't it?" Lucas suddenly said to the crown prince.

"Yes, teacher…"

"Do me a favor, and get this unknown being to be included in A-class, I'm intrigued by her"

"As the crown prince of Fold Empire, Hydra la Fold will pardon you of any crime you create, and at this moment announce that Lucetiria Frau Imelda will be a student of Academy of Magic and Combat, thus shall be under the Academy's protection! On my teacher's name, Lucas Luniere Sinaga the one known as the youngest Dual-King. Lucetiria Frau Imelda would enter the A-Class reserve student!"

It was only at Lucas time, that A-Class… the legendary class had a reserve student and successfully nurture them, with the worst being 4th Grade when all of them a 0th Grade at the start, within a year…

"Now you're free, my little guinea pig" Lucas smiled sinisterly.

At first, Imelda was scared but even after she entered the Academy nothing happen to her. She also got acknowledged with the other teachers and being a star on her own in the academy.

The person she adores, the one that is called The youngest Dual-King… the young adult, at his 20s, that able to achieve something called Dual Grade, with higher attainment in teaching make the name of Academy of Magic and Combat soared even higher than before.

"Psst, sister Imelda looking this way again…"

"Yeah, sure… the teacher is popular after all, even those female teachers all head over heel to him…"

"Sigh… I know, what can I do… I am Awesome, after all"

Surprised with Lucas sudden entry in the conversation, they shut their mouth for a little bit, but punch him in the face soon.

Of course, Lucas dodges the punch, but the student continues to assault him.

"Damn it, Shameless teacher! Don't dodge and receive this single dog feeling!"

"Hahaha! What can you do? Oh, Single dog-student of mine! I'm awesome after all!"
