The Academy [3]

Slowly cadets entered the classroom and sat on their seats…..about 4 minutes passed and it was almost the time for class, "They all are here, Riley Came, Charlotte Walker, Olivia Turner, Henry Reeds and–This guy he gives me goosebumps", Zephyr shivered as his eyes landed on an absolute piece of work…. Julius Bloodstone.

Riley, Char aka Charlotte and Olivia Turner were already sitting together, these three were none other than–the PROTAGONIST's HAREM CANDIDATES.

Zephyr scoffed at the thought of such a cliche, though those two are nothing to scoff at Julius Bloodstone and Riley Came.

Julius Bloodstone–the young master of the Bloodstone noble family…..one of the only noble families who influence rivals that of Blackthorn's.

And then they're Riley Came, although a commoner her father is a successful businessman who deals with medium to large noble families, and their families wealth is not comparable to a commoner.

But, their backgrounds aren't really a problem–though what is a problem is their talent and strength, Julius is the typical Novel antagonist who opposes anything and everything that the main character does–and he has a crush on riley-Cough.

Some of the people turned their heads to look at Zephyr before continuing what they were doing.

Anyways–Then there are Charlotte and Olivia Turner, these two are the daughters of some of the two most powerful guilds in the human domain, and lastly Henry Reeds–he-he's a walking talking joke.

And as always the main character is not here–who could have guessed….he's late!

"Huh!?"

Suddenly Zephyr had a bad foreboding as though something bad was about to happen….he was about to slouch down on his desk when he sat up straight with a drop of cold sweat appearing on his forehead as he looked around the class.

"Everyone is acting normal, everything is okay then what?!--huh those–those five where are they…!?"

Zephyr noticed the five supporting characters looking in front of the class with shocked expressions, following their gaze Zephyr also looked forward–and to his shock someone was standing there, Menacingly.

A woman with Dark pink hair and violet eyes, her figure almost immaculate and eye-catching, she was sticking out like a sore thumb but nobody–absolutely nobody noticed her.

Standing near the teacher's podium she scanned the class, as soon as her eyes were about to near Zephyr he looked down at his desk, the women skimmed her eyes past Zephyr's seat before tapping on the podium.

Tak!

Swoosh!

"Ack?!"

"Huh?! What?"

The students disgruntled by a sudden gale of wind could only cover their eyes as they tried to look around, with a single tap she had managed to disorient the whole class–except 6 people, those were the five supporting characters and Zephyr…. although Zephyr acted like he was also affected by her as he looked around with a dazed expression on his face.

"Hmm"

The woman only crossed her arms as she fell into thought before nodding to herself and speaking.

"Pathetic! Getting affected to such a degree because of a breeze–how weak"

She scoffed but her voice was very soothing to the ears, almost sounding like classical music.

'aah! Now i remember she is Viv– '

"My name is "Vivienne Monroe" and I am– an S-Ranked hero!"

As soon as her words echoed in the classroom, the whole place went silent, and why not after all S-Ranked heroes were very sought after and not to mention respected, and according to her display right now and the novel she has a high level mastery over sound magic.

"To be honest I am very disappointed, this generation is way weaker than the previous two generations–but you….you…you…you and you…ah and nevermind-"

Vivienne pointed out five people and those were the five supporting characters Riley, Char, Olivia, Henry and Julius.

"Only these five were able to sense me and resist the breeze of wind i produced–rest are all trash"

Vivienne said in a harsh tone making the other clench their fists in frustration.

Even I was getting a bit irked by her unrelenting provocation–but I have had enough experience to know not to do anything.

"I will be with you the whole time for the next three years you are here–some will walk the path along me and some will be left behind–forever"

The whole classroom gasped because of her unfiltered tongue.

"Now-"

She said as a tablet appeared on her hands.

"I will now be distributing you designated smartwatches and tablets make sure you don't lose them because a hefty fine will be issued on such an occurrence"

She said as two boxes appeared on the podium with neatly arranged cases containing a pair of smartwatch and tablet each along with a few more accessories.

"Cadet Rank 10067...…"

Then Vivienne went on to call the ranks and the names of the students to collect their respective items.

Meanwhile I just slumped down on my table trying to pass my time.

'Now that i think about it…it's about time he came.'

Thud!

And just as I thought–out of nowhere the door to class abruptly opened as a boy with blonde hair and azure eyes with a charming figure walked into the classroom, his gaze fixed on Vivienne.

The girl who was about to take her box was startled as she dropped the box containing the smartwatch.

"Uhm…..Am i late?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Silence!

Absolute silence!

Sigh!

The awkward silence was broken by Vivienne as she took a long sigh before giving Noah who just entered the class a sidelong glance before shaking her head–

"Yes, you are late–by a lot"

"Ah..I am sorry miss but you see the head–"

"Yes yes I am aware now go and take your seat"

But before Noah could complete his sentence Vivienne cut in urging him to take a seat.

Noah bowed before taking a seat–next to Riley.

The whole class was in a bit of an uproar as they just saw Noah getting some kind of preferential treatment.

Who was he? Was he a noble? The son of the headmaster? A god?, I heard some pretty stupid comments, people letting their intrusive thoughts out, Zephyr just shook his head as he continued–Passing time!

?

"Rank 7007, Zephyr Fitzgerald Come forward….."

Vivienne's voice trailed off as she again looked at the name, specifically the second name…. Fitzgerald?

The whole class also broke into murmurs as they all also wondered if this Fitzgerald was the same as–The Cyran Fitzgerald–the sword Saint could it–no way! Right?

Meanwhile Zephyr listening to their rambling only shook his head, 'Tsk, to think that, that geezer is making trouble for me even here', although he thought that a small smile emerged on his face before disappearing, going unnoticed by everyone.

Even the main characters looked at his direction before shaking off the absurd thought–"yeah as if–there's no way, he's not even seen by anyone for such a long time nobody knows that if he's alive or not"

Zephyr walked down the classroom as he made his way towards Vivienne, he was dazed for a moment, she looked breathtaking, although he had seen her before from the very back of the class, now that he was seeing her up close he couldn't help but admire her beauty but that thought didn't even last for a moment before he just took his box and walked right back.

Vivienne seeing this only shook her head in disappointment, this batch of students had no control over their emotions.

"Rank...…Rank 17 Henry Reeds...Rank 9 Olivia Turner...…Rank 7 Charlotte Walker.....Rank 3 Riley Came....Rank 2 Julius Bloodstone..."

Not long after almost everyone had received their respective smartwatches and tablets only one person remained.

And then there it was…

"Rank 1 Noah Fairborn"

"Huh!?"

The whole class once more fell into an uproar, first they thought Noah was just some young master getting preferential treatment but Rank 1.

"Tch"

Zephyr just clicked his tongue as he saw Noah's figure walking confidently towards Vivienne, but what also caught his eye was Julius who just like him was glaring at Noah.

Not just because losing his rank 1 position but also because–he was sitting next to Riley and Julius didn't have the balls to attempt the same earlier…Cough.

Once again a few people looked at Zephyr with weird gazes before looking back.

Clap!

Clap!

Vivienne clapped her hands gathering the attention of the class before putting her hands on her hip as she shouted.

"Follow me, it's time to choose your weapons, after that we will talk about your Classes and the school system…"

Saying so Vivienne walked out of the class while everyone followed her.

"Huu–this is getting interesting, hehe"

Zephyr chuckled before following everyone...
