Chapter 11 - First Lesson (1)

Chapter 11 - First Lesson (1)

After the story of Belleshanas, no matter how much I spoke to him, Aisel never answered. I didn't speak any more.

That day, Eisel and I ate together and each of us went our separate ways.

'Did Belleshanas have an important meaning to Eisel?'

At least the Eisel in the game I remember had no such setting.

I wanted to visit Belleshanas sometime, but the area around Belleshanas itself belongs to a very peaceful axis.

Even in the game, it is only mentioned that there are many tourists due to the beautiful emerald-colored beach.

It was not a place for anything special to happen.

'There's something in Belleshanas... But I can't get a feel for it.'

Now that the day has passed and the first class is here.

Yuri and Eisel.

Even though I had known the two women beforehand, none of them had spoken to me.

On the left side, a little further away, Eisel was leaning against a tree, watching the birds, and on the right side, she was alone, exuding an aura that made her feel like she would kill anyone if the glass touched her.

Even though I tried to talk to them to get closer and raise my liking, this was the situation in the end.

"No, who the hell is the instructor in charge of class A, so the first class is an outdoor class?"

"Rumor has it that you're one of those 'black blood'?"

"Then... Instructor Reina by any chance?"

"I prefer Instructor Kaliman, who is the same martial artist as me."

Each of the cadets was chattering about their first class or their instructor.

'There is only one person who would do something like this.'

Edward Klaus.

It was already certain that he was the instructor in charge of Class A.

What the hell are you trying to do this time?

When I went to the Class A classroom where the first class was supposed to take place, the door was locked and there was only a simple message in front of the door saying to see you in the mountain behind the academy.

Well, I followed suit, asking the A class cadets standing nearby about the situation.

Among them was Amon.

Amon looked at me and frowned, but he didn't argue with me today either.

All of a sudden, a total of 16 cadets from class A gathered in the forest clearing, and the support of the cadets looking for the instructor in charge was growing.

"Now everyone has gathered. It was boring waiting, but I'm not late... So let's move on."

Edward, who did not know where he appeared, appeared while looking at his watch.

"What?"

"Who is it? The instructor in charge?"

"I know it's not Kaliman or Reina."

"He's someone I didn't see at the entrance ceremony..."

The reaction of the cadets was 'Who is that?'

It was worth it.

The trio of black blood was also a nickname given to those who directly participated in the war at the time.

Those who had not participated in the war could know about the black blood, but not even the three people.

Edward, one of the three black-blooded men, was not well known due to the nature of the unit he belonged to.

A reputation that only those in the know know about.

Considering Edward's skills and personality, it all happened because he was the type who wasn't very interested in fame.

From the point of view of the cadets who had not experienced the war, Edward's existence was just unfamiliar.

What they are more familiar with is not the trio of black blood...

"Nice to meet you, students. My name is Edward Klaus, the instructor in charge of class A."

"If it's Klaus..."

"Because the principal's name is Julius Klaus."

"The principal's son?"

He was the headmaster's son.

'This is going as it is.'

Even for me, when I first encountered the hidden instructor named Edward Klaus in the game, my first thought was 'parachute'.

In a way, it was a natural reaction.

But Edward goes on with his smile.

"Everyone is unfamiliar. My existence, my name, who he is, what he does, etc.

ã…¡ Clap!

Edward, who was suddenly speaking, clapped loudly once with the meaning of concentration.

"...So today, let's take some time to get to know each other closely."

At Edward's words, which cannot be understood, the cadets' expressions become puzzling.

"Aren't all of you class A students really great?"

Edward said while examining the cadets standing in front of him one by one.

"There will be some people who were born into famous families and grew up very fine by drinking expensive elixirs from an early age. Those who received the great gift of talent from birth and reached this position easily. In the end, there must be some who have achieved the result of being an honorable class A."

Edward pauses for a moment after that.

"But. Just because you're in Class A doesn't mean you're the strongest."

After those meaningful words, Edward's heavy words follow.

"It's just that you got stronger a little earlier than the others. That means you can always catch up. It's the back runners you've been ignoring and looking down on."

Edward's words were enough to offend the high-nosed Class A cadets.

'It's not wrong.'

In Innocence Academy, Class A is treated well wherever they go. Even the dorms are changed to better rooms and better meals as well. If you don't have money, it also helps with living expenses.

It's the same outside the academy.

Even to the general public, the class A of the academy was recognized as an amazing group of people.

This is a great motivation for the cadets who will be under Class A.

Because of this, there were quite a few cases where the class was changed in the main exam, which was taken every semester.

"Huh. About the parachute."

A rather harsh sound is heard from among the group of cadets. Judging by the thick voice, it seems to be Amon.

Despite the insult, the smile on Edward's face still wouldn't fade.

Rather, the corner of his mouth went up even more.

Edward left Amon behind and continued on with what he had been saying.

"Why do class A cadets, who should be so great, have to be eaten by the back runners? I don't like that either."

Edward shrugged his shoulders really meanly.

"Cadets, as you think... You guys are really great people, right? I'm trying to make a 'perfect class A' that will not be inferior to anyone else. To do that, I have to measure the level first."

Gradually, his eccentricity unfolds around this point.

"But I don't like being bothered. What are you going round and round for? There's a very simple way."

Suddenly, Edward, who had lengthened his words, spread his index finger toward the cadets.

"All of the class A cadets should fight me, Edward Klaus, with all their might from now on."

It is clear that most of the cadets were taken aback by Edward's words.

"Ha... So Instructor. Do you mean that we should work together against only one instructor? Our class A?"

Amon must have thought that Edward was ignoring them.

Some of the cadets seemed to agree with his opinion.

"Hey, a pig who only knows dirt. You still don't know Innocence Academy? The instructors at the academy aren't that ordinary."

Surprisingly, Yuri was very good at grasping the situation.

Yuri continues to organize the current situation.

"For now, I can only hope that the instructor is a 'parachute' as you just flirted with. Otherwise... There's no way we can win."

Yuri, who was glaring at Amon, spoke in a somewhat harsh tone.

"Instructor Edward, I want to ask you one thing. Do we really have to 'win' against you?"

Yuri asked Edward.

Edward's smile grows more sinister at her question.

"Did I expect too much from the cadets? You talk too much. You should be ready to kill yourself, right now."

"Then."

Yuri held her hands straight out in front of her and cast her fire magic.

The most powerful magic that she can cast in the beginning.

In terms of the game, her cooldown was the longest, and it was about awakening or special moves.

"Phoenix."

Huge fire in the form of a phoenix shoots up from the huge magic circle that spreads out in front of the palm of the glass.

The cadets around them quickly backed away from the scorching heat. So did I.

The flames in the form of a phoenix flapped their wings and flew towards Edward.

The moment Phoenix tries to reach Edward, his form quickly disappears.

"...Uh?"

Edward, who had disappeared, appeared right behind the glass.

"...!"

I noticed that faster than anyone else in the room, and immediately drew my sword and charged Edward, but...

ã…¡squeak!

Edward's quick and concise movements show off their elegance and continue as if drawing a picture.

ã…¡Push shuk!!!

...Even if the response was delayed, it was too late.

Edward's dagger, from which he did not know where, slashed his throat, and Yuri's head was separated from her body and flew away.

Yuri's... Yuri Clementine's red hair flutters in the air along with thick blood.

At that time, I stopped my running body.

It did not move from the spot.

"Crazy..."

"Are you dead?"

"Fuck, what is this situation!!"

The cadets scream around. They were in complete panic.

Some cadets collapsed, others vomited.

"Didn't I tell you. Go ahead with the determination to 'kill'."

Edward said as he brushed off the blood on his dagger.

ã…¡Chijijijik!

Suddenly, there is the sound of sparks popping from one side.

"Then die."

As much as Eisel witnessed the scene, he cast lightning magic and rushed at Edward.

Eisel and Edward exchange sums at a speed that is hard for the eyes to keep up with.

However, even Eisel, who was so strong, was helplessly defeated by his dagger.

ã…¡Poo-wook.

Edward's dagger plunges deep into Eisel's heart.

"Cadet Eisel... It's too slow."

"Keugh... Ugh..."

Eisel, with a dagger stuck in his heart, is twisting and losing his balance.

Eisel eventually collapses.

At the spot where she fell, her blood gushed out and filled her puddle.

"Ha..."

I sighed heavily as I looked at such an unrealistic appearance.

Even in a tense situation, I couldn't find any tension in my attitude.

It was because all the tension was quickly released after he noticed.

Rather, it oozes out an innocent laugh.

'Since when, Edward Klaus...'

'Why.'

'Since when.'

'Did you put 'illusion magic' on me...?'

Should I say that too?

Edward was Edward.

'From the first lesson, the level check of the cadets using fantasy magic...'

His vicious class methods he had experienced in the game were still vicious.
