Headmaster (2)

"What?!", screamed Ciel.

"Did I just hear that correctly?", Asked Monica while looking confused at the words of the man.

[Excuse me, headmaster, but what did you say?], asked an executive.

[I said that every single executive of the academy will be replaced, but I should probably say eliminated]

It was then that many knives appeared from thin air and soon surrounded the necks of every single executive of the academy.

Lucia who was sitting next to the man didn't even react and just let the scene happen.

[Jahin Shen, Kamis Hailin, Joichi Lee, Tren Han, Unsla Kim, 5 executives that are actually contractors will be executed and the other executives of the academy will be imprisoned for life for being in cahoots with the demons]

[What!?], Hailin screamed but in an instant, his head fell to the ground.

[Fuck this!], said the other 4 of the executives called out to be contractors as they started to release demonic energy but were killed in the same manner as the other.

[*Thud]

[As I said before, I will be bringing changes to the academy and today, marks the beginning of the cleansing, I sure do hope to see all teachers and students gathered at the academy's auditorium at 9 am, next morning, if anyone fails to show up, they will be hunted and killed]

And with that, the man left the conference as he disappeared into the shadows.

I could see that Monica, Ciel, and Noel, were all in disbelief as they had just seen a shocking scene in the hologram.

Ciel who was worried asked Monica if she was going to be ok, but she reafirmed her, that there was no way for her to be called by the headmaster.

We started to discuss if the headmaster was really a good person for the job, but no one really knew what to say.

It was then that Lucia who was still at the conference began to speak.

[I apologize for the grotesque sight, that was shown today but I hope you understand that it was a necessary measure for the future of the academy]

[I would also like to say, that the new headmaster is someone with a great amount of knowledge and power, so I hope you understand that he will be great for the job]

And with that, she left the conference room.

...

[ARE YOU CRAZY?!!!]

'It was necessary!'

[HOW IS THAT NECESSARY, YOU JUST KILLED 5 VILLAINS THAT WOULD WORK IN THE FUTURE!!!]

'Ok, question, do you really believe it makes sense that the demons who want to kill the new hope of humanity, would only send contractors like students instead of the executives! IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!'

[AH!..]

'Yeah.'

[...You are right, my bad]

'Also, I will be changing the club system in the academy'

[HUh?, sigh, just do as you please]

...

Yesterday, the new headmaster announced a meeting for all students and teachers to attend.

I was with Monica, Ciel, Noel, and my sister.

We were currently sitting down and I could see the fear on many students and teachers, as the display shown during yesterday's events, was quite horrifying.

Although it was indeed gruesome, the headmaster actually got a lot of support for trying to cleanse the academy from demon contractors and many are supporting his hunt for more.

It was then that the headmaster walked to the podium and silenced everyone.

[Now now, no need to be worried, I will just do a simple check and see if there is anyone that should be executed in the name of humanity]

[Is what should happen but let me be real, I don't know if any of you are contractors as of yet, and I can only be sure that no teacher is a contractor, so it is safe to rely on them if you are a student]

[Although I can't really say much for the students]

[But no need to worry, the new security of the school will be created soon enough, with the help of my summoned beast]

"I guess, he is not here to kill", Monica whispered.

[Now moving on, today I will be announcing the changes that will be implemented from now on]

[First, from this day forward, the student uniforms will change, this is due to the fact that the uniforms used by the students today don't have the traits of [Comfortability] and [Resistance], that is why the academy will partner with the store [Elegante], for our future uniforms]

[Similarly to the previous uniforms, the grades will be divided by colors, blue signifying the first years, green the second years, and red the third years, it is just that this time, you will be given a white uniform, and a badge colored after your grade]

"That actually seems like a good change", Ciel said.

"Why?", Monica asked.

"Well, first it would be the two traits from the clothes that are really good and finally this is probably to create unity amongst the grades as previously the different colored uniforms stood out a lot"

"Oh, I see"

[Moving on, there will be a change in the midterm, final exams, class changes and clubs]

[You see, many wish to become heroes and many wish to become more than just that, they wish for honor, power, and more, but in the end, what matters the most in this world is stats]

[The world revolves around stats and what this academy wishes to achieve is not foot soldiers that will die in the war, but heroes that will stand at the top of humanity and lead it to a new world]

"What is he getting at"

[So from this day forward, midterms, final exams, and class changes will all be based on the increase in stats of every student, and a new evaluation will be performed in 3 days]

[Stats are the defining feature of growth, I don't care if you increase by only 1 subrank in a year, what I wish is growth and determination from the students, power is defined by stats and if you fail to show growth during the midterm and final exams, you will be expelled]

"What!?"

Everyone in the room started to panic at what was just said, as normally one would just drop below a class every time they failed.

[Quiet!], The headmaster shouted, and fear struck everyone in the auditorium.

[From this day forward, no class changes will be made without me personally choosing you to advance a class, the dropping of classes will also not be a thing anymore, if you fail you will be expelled]

*Murmur

[I said to be quiet], the headmaster said which in turn made everyone quiet down.

[This is because the moment you are assigned to a class, you belong in that class and are supposed to meet the expectations of that class, if you fail to meet such expectations then you can say goodbye]

[Now moving onto clubs, I will announce that the previous clubs that were recreational clubs will be changed completely and will now be focused to become clubs that will help the students grow]

[And clubs that require to leave the academy, will be banned and disbanded]

"Eh?"

[Now I should talk about events that will be created in the academy]

[One is the sports festivals, which will be an event in which students will participate in various events such as duels, magic battles, archery, and more, against other classes, and the winners will receive a reward]

[But with the changes to the clubs, I decided to create an event called the festival, in which students will be allowed to create stalls, and game events and invite their families over to the academy for the festival, although there will be a check that I will be performing on the people coming inside]

[Finally, this will be the last change, it is a tournament called the next hope of humanity]

"Next hope?", I asked.

[You may be wondering as to what this tournament is about, so I should explain]

[The tournament will be composed of only those that I allow to participate and will all be from the first-year students, the only requirement is the potential to be an (S) ranked hero]

[You may think that the only ones who will participate are the ones that have already been chosen by the orb, but I should tell you that the orb is actually flawed]

"WHAT?!", everyone screamed and was unsure about the words of the headmaster.

[You don't seem to understand but I should use a student as an example]

[Angelica Ravens, from class B, the orb has told her that she has the potential of a (B) ranker, but in fact, she can become an (S+) ranker, with enough resources]

[And now you are wondering as to why I revealed such information but it is to tell you that, there is an item that can increase one's potential by one, and the one to win, could be awarded the item depending on what I think]

[Meaning the creation of the next (SS) ranked hero]

[And that is all, you may leave now], The headmaster said, while disappearing into the shadows.

"He really just dropped a bomb and left, huh?", Monica said in disbelief.
