Enhanced Training...

Alan POV

"Fricking hell!"

^Boom^

Never in my life was I so angry as now. Master told me, I should learn how to control my burning anger and use it as fuel to strengthen myself.

'How, in the fricking hell, do you do that?'

OH, not forgetting the fact she is beating me since my mysterious return to the school.

'And tomorrow is the fricking school, starting again'

I can't understand, how Benjamin is fine after everything that happened.

My last attempt to save his life... did it work? Or someone saved us both, but then again... who?

'Benjamin is training harder than before, Mi Sang Hee is ignoring me... and Ben is so absorbed in finding out the secrets of his Astral sword'

My thought immediately formulated another question.

'How the hell did he get the Astral sword... it shouldn't be on earth or in a dungeon'

The intention behind the sword was that he gets it from a god later in the story, moreover, is the god on his last breaths.

"Alan"

I glance towards my beautiful Master, Jette Syrax, with her beautiful pink hair fluttering in the surrounding fire.

"If you have time complaining, then my training wasn't as hard as I thought it is"

"… can I not apologize any more, right?"

She picks up her sword, smiling at me similar to the demons.

"You thought about something rude about me...didn't you?"

'Oh... I am fucked'

She started to beat me to a pulp, and I don't know how long it took... but it felt like an eternity.

"Ah, that felt refreshing"

'What do you mean, beating my ass until it's blue is refreshing?'

I feel every muscle in my body screaming in pain, My phoenix genes are currently healing my entire body... WHAT DOES SHE MEAN BY REFRESHING?

Of course, If I complained... the second round would begin.

"Alan, we need to go-bloody hell, what happened with your face?"

Benjamin, together with Kim Yong, see my pitiful state... and Kim Yong almost burst out laughing.

Benjamin was the surprised one, although he also started to suppress his laugh.

'I swear to god, if I am stronger than Kim Yong... I will beat them like she beat me up'

"Alan, we need to go to the announcement in our classroom"

Kim Yong, stated without any pity to me and turned around to leave.

"Kim Yong, do you have time to help Muzio with the fusion of mana and demonic energy?"

Kim Yong stopped his steps, turning his head slightly right.

"You two fought again?"

Jette turned around and fixes her gaze on me, then she faced Kim Yong again with a bright smile.

How do I know this?

"Hey Alan, why don't you just leave the school with your bad luck?"

'Ha ha, so funny Casein'

It is because of this idiot, and the useless skill I gained.

Casein, with my face and body, traverse between Jette and Kim Yong, who have an intense stare-down right now.

"NO, why"

Kim Yong interrupted her by raising his hand, sighing, while glancing at me for a second.

"You used Alan as your stress relieve... your fight was probably about how to handle your children"

"N-No"

He closes his eyes for a short time, after opening them again his eyes are purple, and he watches the entire training hall we are in.

^sigh^

"You even fought... because you are frustrated, he hangs out with Avni more than you... even if it is only for work"

Jette stands there in disbelief, her pink hair falls down, and her silver eyes returned for a second.

"Can you help him or not?"

Kim Yong put a hand on his chin, not even bothered by the pleading eyes of Jette.

'Can she act like that to me too?'

"Of course not, Kim Yong is the saviour of their relationship, furthermore the reason why they are still together"

It surprises no one, when I say that I hate my life.

"Hey Alan"

"Whoa!"

... Never mind, my life is great.

The sweet voice of Mi Sang Hee is like an orchestra in my ears, blessing my eyes with her sweaty clothes stuck on her body.

"Pervert"

Mi Sang Hee added it to her greeting... trying to hide her body.

"You two, please flirt in private or go on a date, But now we need to go to the classroom, or we will be late"

Kim Yong transmitted a message to her with mana speech, I guess that he will do it. Benjamin and Mi Sang Hee run after him... I, of course, run with full speed to catch up.

We arrived at the door of the classroom, Kim Yong pushes the door to the side without any care in the world.

'He is so arrogant'

I entered the room a bit later than them, receiving no hateful stares or jealousy from any student.

"Sorry, Ms. Ashenblood, we needed to pick up our friend from his master"

Kim Yong bows lightly with a Stoic expression, showing not a hint of nervousness. Erzulie glares holes through my body, before returning a warm glance to Mi Sang Hee.

'Of course the teacher are collectively against me'

"Go to your seats, the two new instructors will arrive in a few minutes"

Not wasting any breath, she ordered us to go to our seats.

"Thank you very much, Ms. Ashenblood"

"Pfft-HA ha ha, Kim Yong made her feel so uncomfortable!"

Casein is more cheerful than ever before, not knowing why, but I am happy if he is back to full strength.

As we sit back down on our seat, she waited for the two new instructors to arrive.

"Alan"

Ben, with his angelic and deep voice, bumped my elbow while muttering my name.

"What is it?"

Annoyed, I hissed while bumping his elbow. Ben smirk grew a bit.

"Did you think my Astral Blade could take on your Great sword Usurper?"

'Did he really ask this question?'

I thought for a bit, my sword against his, I think my sword would win as it can usurp kings.

The Astral sword, is the sword of the first great Astral Hero, which was the king of all Astral people.

"I think my sword would win, since it usurps kings to grow"

Ben disgusting smirk, makes me feel uncomfortable. 

Kim Yong simply waited and ignores us. Benjamin trains his lightning control even in the classroom.

Ben and I discussed which sword would win, we both got so invested in the discussion... that I feel a cold blade on my neck.

"Welcome your new instructors, Jaden Silva and Ardad Bardhyl, these two will choose a group of students to train"

Hella Lundin raises her hand in the air, the creature behind her emerged lightly... scaring me a bit.

"What do you mean by choosing a group of students?"

Erzulie smiles lightly, awaiting such a question. I want to know it too, I still had a cold blade on my neck.

"Good question, We introduce a new system that gives the instructors the right to choose their students, they want. 

All instructors can create a group and pick people they like, training them for 10 hours a day, as a countermeasure against the rising crisis."

'???? What ?????'

I know that the novel is changing in a fast pace. Many people who should have been dead are alive, furthermore, is the Abyssal lord and demons moving faster than in the novel.

Yet, it irritated me a lot, my nervousness rose along with the fear of the unknown slowly dragging me in the darkness.

"And all of you get a new student, her name is Hela Silva"

'Hm, she enters our class?'

Hela Silva never entered the class, she went missing at the night of the party... and I wanted her to return as the Ice witch who slowly regains her humanity, then later join the protagonist harem.

Generic, I know, but I need to make a living from this novel. She really has a beauty rivalling Rica, Ben, and Hella Lundin.

'I realize, I gave two characters almost the same name...well in the novel I only called her Ice witch'

She entered the classroom with the widest smile I have ever seen, resulting in some guys blushing so hard, tomatoes should be ashamed to be called red.

"Hello, I am happy to join this class, and seeing a couple of friends from yesterday"

Her eyes search for someone and stop at the seat to my right, where Kim Yong sits. Her cheeks are getting a bit red, meanwhile her smile grew.

'Okay, she is ADORABLE'

"I have a bad feeling about this"

Kim Yong muttered beneath his breath, next to me. I turn my eyes to his direction, seeing him frown for the first time... outside of battles.

"Kim Yong, I hope you take care of me like you always did"

Most boys, including me, look at him in astonishment. He is the adopted brother of the Ice witch... makes sense, I never knew the existence of Kim Yong before.

They are more perplexed by how far these two already went in their relationship. It interested me not one bit.

"Kim Yong little group as well as Hela, these are my students to teach"

An old man with sapphire eyes and white hair, Jaden Silva, smiling at Kim Yong with the brightest smile I have ever seen from him...well imagined.

"Good to see you, Grandson-in-"

"Stop it, old man, why are you here?"

Kim Yong inquired an answer, with a visible frown on his face. Jaden continued his smile.

"I missed you too, troublemaker"

His frown deepened… and I couldn't help but laughing out loud, his expression is so funny to see.
