Life at the Academy (3)

"Urrmmm!"

Stretching my arms to the fullest, I woke up after a good night of sleep.

"That was a damn good sleep."

How long has it been since I had such a good sleep? Being a mercenary, I was constantly exposed to danger which made it impossible to sleep peacefully.

Now that I am back to the life of a teenage student, I realized just how much blessed I am to sleep in this comfortable bed.

Enjoy this feeling, my eyes belatedly fell on the clock that was hanging right in front of the bed.

8:47!!

"Fuck!"

I was so stressed and the bed was so comfortable that I slept like a baby.

"The class starts at 9:00!"

There was only 13 minutes left till Mr. Kill Joy enters the classroom, I would be dead I am not present before then!

"Damn it!"

I hurriedly ran to the toilet, finished my nature calls, it was so late that I skipped the bath and just brushed my teeth.

Donning on the uniform that was provided yesterday with the belongings, I ran out towards the classroom.

"I hope Professor Joshua gets delayed...."

Running at my top speed, I arrived at the class room just in time.

"Huff! hufff! Thank...god!"

Before I could even sit on my seat Professor Joshua arrived at the classroom sharp at nine.

'Damn! He is sharp as ever.'

I thought trying to breath as silently as possible as my huffing due to exhaustion was yet to stop.

Professor Joshua was never late to classes, not even once in my previous life. He was one of those people who valued time more than money.

He walked towards the podium in a elegant manner and addressed the students.

"Good morning, I believe you all had a good sleep."

The atmosphere of the class changed with just his words and all the buzzing class became silent.

"As I have already introduced myself in the previous class, let me continue the class from where we left off."

"Professor Joshua, I have a doubt, the magic theory that you taught yesterday, it is quite different from what we use today, why is there a difference..?"

A student among us stood up asked a question to the instructor.

I felt nostalgic seeing this as I knew what would happen next.

"Please refrain from asking questions unless I permit you to do so."

A chilling voice entered my ears as Professor Joshua's thunderous voice resounded in the classroom.

"I'll overlook this since it is your first time, if any of you dares to interrupt the lessons and challenge my authority, I'll make sure to not let you pass the year, bear this in my mind."

Beads of sweat dripped down from the forehead of the student who just asked the question and all other students were shocked by his claim.

'Not let us pass?'

That meant that they had to repeat a year.

If a noble child was to repeat a year in freljord, then that meant that they were not qualified enough and their prestige and chances of succeeding their family would greatly decease.

It was something they couldn't afford.

"Now that the question had been asked, I will answer it regardless... The current magic theory that you guys are learning is the upgraded version of the one that Grand Magus Lith Verhen invented."

His voice calmed down as he answered the student's question as if nothing happened just now.

"Many people developed the magic theory throughout there life and many research's has been conducted based on it, the most changes were made by the Sage of Wisdom, Lucus Traumen, the master of the Tower of Wisdom as you are all aware of."

He looked at the student who asked the question and said.

"Simon Walker from Kshatriya class, I hope that answered your question, now we will move onto today's lesson..."

An Hour passed after that as Instructor Joshua went on explain the magic theory in detail.

***

Nothing major happened after Professor Joshua's class, the second class was 'Basic combat' by professor Keating, there was nothing much to learn as it was just a theory class with only introductions.

We are not allowed to go out and into the wild till next week, which was done so the necessary preparations could be made for student's safety, so the combat lessons couldn't be started.

Professor Keating just gave a briefing on how the lessons will be from next week.

The next class was taken by Professor Welton, who was in charge of teaching 'The History of Mauryan Empire.'

It was a boring class, especially for me who was aware of all the history related things of the Mauryan Empire.

Anyway, there was only three classes scheduled for today as the students were given the time of one week to chose the remaining two classes from the five choices.

As there was nothing to do for the rest of the day, I decided to visit the training ground.

'I want to check how strong I am.'

Being able to enter the Freljord academy, the bench mark was that the individual has to be a 1-star knight or a 1-star mage.

If I remember correctly, I was at the verge of breaking into 2-star rank when I entered the Freljord Academy in my past life.

Most of it was due to the help of my family which was rich enough to supply me with cultivation resources and elixirs.

I was truely blessed to have born in such a rich and kind family.

'If only the fire dragon didn't go on a rampage.....'

Then my family would be alive and I would have led a comfortable life with my loving family.

'I'll make sure that happens in this life.'

That was the first goal I had in this life, to stop the rampage of fire dragon from happening and protect my family.

I was ready to do anything to ensure that.

'Let's see how far I can push this body.'

In my past life, I reached the level of 4-star knight through sheer effort without any talent, I wanted to see how far I can push my body with the memories of my past life.

And currently, there was no good way to do that than to visit the training ground where every type of equipment needed for training would be placed.
