**(The Office)**

.

All of the professors that were teaching the first years were now amongst a sleek round table, each with several documents in their hands.

Because of the fact that the first years are going to be the new talents that would help the kingdom in the future, the vice-headmaster had decided to also attend the meeting.

As usual, all of the professors were wearing a lab coat while the current 'chairmen', or the vice-headmaster, was wearing a grey striped suit with a light blue tie, and brown shoes, looking like a sleek young master in his early twenties.

The vice-headmaster's name is Luke Varnt, he was considered the second strongest existence in the academy, above everyone else, but much weaker than the headmaster Sebastian. He was much younger than the headmaster, only about three hundred years old, and nowhere near the end of his lifespan, which was why he looked so young.

Even though he was younger than most of the professors here, he was still considered a genius of the academy, being in the fifth tier early phase when he reached two hundred eighty-five years old.

His majestic aura spilled out of him, scanning the room. Seeing that everyone was here and ready, he spoke, "Alright. As usual, we will have C-class present their best students first, then B-class, A-class, and the recommended class. Understand?"

"Understood, vice-headmaster!" the professors replied.

"Good, let' begin the meeting then, Mrs. Tracy." he nodded to the women on his right.

She nodded and stood up from her seat, "Then I'll begin..."

As the teacher of the D-class, even if they were the weakest class compared to everyone else, compared to other schools, they would be some rare geniuses there.

(A/N: Yes, I'm too fucking lazy to add more characters... but I mean... it's not even chapter 70... so... eh?)

The usual was said in the meeting, their achievements before coming to this academy, how well they did in their entrance exam, how well they did against their instructors, etc.

This process had rung into their ears several times every year, though the so-called talents here hadn't shocked or even surprised anyone for that past few decades.

Then... it was Mr. Gluri's turn.

"Seems like it's finally my turn." he stood up with his documents in hand.

With his glasses still on, he began to read from the information he has gotten from testing his students today.

"From top to bottom, in terms of combat, my top three students are David Vale, Feil Nenao, and Sam, who is a commoner." he started.

"Starting with Sam, he was already able to somewhat move under the aura I released. Though he was shortly beaten after, it still doesn't take away that he was able to stand up against aura pressures stronger by several levels." he explained.

All of the professors there were shocked, after all, Gluri was the professor of such an advanced class due to his power, "And you said he was a commoner correct?" Luke's voice silenced everyone's thoughts.

"Yes, sir." Gluri leaned slightly under the pressure being emitted from Luke.

"Interesting... being only 3rd in the class with such talent... continue." he closed his eyes.

"Understood, vice-headmaster. As I said, yes, he is a commoner with some backing that rivals that of some noble counts. I suspect that he is a disciple of some high-class mages. Now, onto the next student, Feil Nenao, the third prince of this kingdom." he started.

"A very talented individual, someone who was able to stand and even dodge a few of my attacks, albeit lazy ones, he still dodged them quite well. As someone who is from the royal family, we don't need to talk about him too much." he explained.

"Now, for the top student, David Vale, the new young master of the Vale family, brought in by Bennett Vale, the second young master of the Vales. He came into this kingdom only about a month ago, and was instantly adopted by the Vales."

He continued speaking, "Back to the exam subject, he was able to beat, although the examiner was suppressed into a third-tier, he was still beaten. So, to re-evaluate him properly, we had another instructor at the fourth-tier test him. Even then, he was able to somewhat hold his own, as well as my class today, even forcing me to go to my... other form."

"And even in 'that' form, he was able to suppress my [Fear] spell multiple times. Quite strong for what a sixteen-year-old can do..." he muttered.

"What!? Such a young boy was able to force you to go serious for a second?" a professor slammed the table, flushed.

"Surely... you must be exaggerating... right?" professor Tracy furrowed her brows.

"Everyone, calm down. We are currently in a meeting." Luke's cold voice and aura filled the room, forcing everyone to sit down.

Luke smiled at Gluri, "Good, since those three are so talented, I trust you to focus on their development... focus a bit on that princess Elizebeth as well..."

"Understood, sir." Gluri sat back down.

"Since everyone has already presented their top three students for the meeting, the meeting will be adjourned. You will have your schedules by tomorrow morning." Luke stood up from his chair and left quietly as if he wasn't even someone who was supposed to be here.

*Step... Step... Step...*

Seeing him leave, the other professors suddenly crowded Gluri.

"Lucky... I want a student as talented as them..."

"Mn! If any of my students were as good as yours, I'd wake up laughing every day!"

"Tch, as if your lazy personality would mold such a student."

"Hey! I have my moments too, ok?"

"Alright, alright. It's getting late, and we need to wake up early so we can teach and arrive at class on time, bye!" he did a finger salute, and ran off.

Leaving the meeting room, he goes to the hospital, entering the head nurse's office. She was currently doing her paperwork, though it was generally less since it was only the econd day of school.

Seeing that she was still here, he sat down on the chair in front of her, "So... what did you call me here for?"

Hearing Gluri's voice, she froze for a second. Placing the documents to the side, she pulls up a folder and places it on the desk, "Professor Gluri, we need to talk about David..."
