Chapitre 37: [Event] [Hectic First School Day] Basilisk Class [2]
While I am it, let's see if she is here. Another heroine was in my class apart from Milleia.
I stealthily looked behind me, sweeping my gaze at each row.
"?"
The girls who noticed my gaze were squealing strangely while the men were jumping up.
I ignored them and continued my search.
Wait, am I really looking like a creep by doing that, no?
[<You look like a creep, there is no doubt.>]
Oh she is here.
I soon found the person I was looking for.
She was like a butterfly surrounded by cockroaches.
I'm not insulting the people around her.
They looked normal and some were even handsome and beautiful, but she, the girl, was clearly on another level, just like Milleia.
With curly blond hair and sky-blue eyes, she had a bored expression on her face. There was no doubt about the reason why she chose the last row…
She was a [Sub-Heroine] of the First Game, Lyra Kertalir, the daughter of Marquis Kertalir.
Look at my boy, Jayden. Already two members of his harem are in his class…
As expected of the protagonist.
"What happened to your cheek?"
I asked Jayden, ignorantly. I had to do my part as a friend even if I knew what happened.
"Hmpf! If you knew it, Edward!"
Milleia pouted angrily.
My freaking heart skipped a beat again.
She is way too dangerous.
Damn…Jayden froze again.
"Enough chit-chat, I will start."
Almona didn't let Milleia finish and glared at us…no, she glared at me. Since my reputation was at rock bottom, if there was a problem I'd be without doubt the prime suspect behind it.
"I will introduce myself again. Almona Donner, you can call me Professor Mona since it's easier. I am the professor responsible for the [Basilisk Class]. Three other classes are formed from your promotion. Namely, the [Phoenix Class], the [Dragon Class] and the [Pegasus Class]. I ask you not to pay attention to the weird naming sense of each class. They are merely names of mythological creatures that appeared centuries ago on our continent. Some are still present. Anyway, we chose these names to differentiate each class."
Mona wrote the names of the classes on the board behind her with a dry-erase marker.
"Four classes per year. There are a total of twelve classes in the academy. Something you need to understand is that the division of the promotion in classes is to first facilitate the teachers' work, but the main reason is to create a 'war' between you all. In the end, you are all classmates for the same promotion. The purpose behind that is to instill a feeling of competition in everyone to influence them to get stronger and diligent in their studies."
As I said before, it was really an efficient method, just like Alfred, a few minutes ago, was making a plan to put his class in the first place. Maybe he was taking the thing too far, but it was certainly forcing them to create group cohesion. For example, Alfred would never have thought of speaking to Ronald if not for the latter's behavior and marks influenced his class's points.
"Class Points or Royal Eden."
Mona wrote again.
"There are points calculated from all your marks. The marks I am speaking about are the points from your exams, implications, behavior and from the 'activities'. You can also get bonus points if you successfully join one of three organizations of our academy."
"Professor."
Jayden raised his hand.
"Mr. Rayena."
"Um, what are the activities you mentioned?"
"Oh, yes I was coming to it."
Mona nodded.
"The activities are clubs if you prefer. There are different clubs in the academy to entertain yourself but also to train yourself. According to your performance, you can also get bonus Royal Eden Points for your class and yourselves as well, since there is also an individual ranking. There are clubs for all your tastes, so you don't have to worry, there are not only dance or literature clubs. Airbike race or Sky-Ball will certainly please the boys."
"Hey, Edward, I bet you want to join the dance club."
"Pffft-"
Milleia quickly stifled her giggle, which wasn't the case of Cleenah.
[<Pffffft! Aahahaahaa!>]
"..."
Only Jarvis wasn't laughing.
Those guys…
"Something seems funny, Edward? Do you want to share with us so we can laugh together?"
Why me again?!
Mona again thought it was me.
Jayden…
That guy was laughing again.
He was sure having fun.
I plastered a smile on my face and replied to Mona.
"Jayden asked me if men could take part in Miss Eden's competition. I couldn't hold back, sorry Professor."
"!"
Jayden's smile vanished and his face turned pale.
"AHAAHAHAA!"
"Pfffffft!"
"A dude in Miss Eden? Good luck man! Aahahaahaha!"
"Pfffft! I-I'm sorry Ja-Jayden, pffft!"
Even Milleia couldn't hold back anymore.
I smiled ear to ear at Jayden.
[<That was harsh. A monster…>]
'Thanks for the compliment.'
I smiled ear to ear in my mind as well, since Cleenah seemed to be irritated that I reversed the situation.
"...Mr. Jayden, I'm not the one to judge people on their preference, but you should give up."
The class exploded in laughter again at Mona's words.
"N-No I-"
"Give up dude, I know you practiced a lot for that but it's useless. You saw the girls in our academy, right?"
I stopped Jayden from spitting the truth and dragged him to hell.
I could see men rolling on the ground and striking their table unable to bear it anymore.
"Edward, y-you!"
"Enough laughter, I will resume, otherwise it will never end."
Mona came to my rescue.
The class calmed down though a few giggles echoed here and there sometimes.
"Where was I already?"
"On the reason behind my laugh."
"Edward! I will beat you-"
"Edward, I'm happy that you are willing to answer me, but don't you think your friend is too pitiful?"
I looked at Jayden.
He was blushing with bright red eyes, even his eyes were red.
Was he going to cry…?
"I'm sorry professor, I answered wrongly."
"Like hell!"
Jayden gave me that glare.
Incidentally, I was receiving even more gaze than before.
My classmates were shocked by my behavior and way of speaking. It contradicted everything they had heard on the news or the net.
The most shocked or curious one was Lyra. As a daughter of a Marquis, she met and spoke to me a few times at parties and I wasn't anything like it now.
"Right now, I am going to speak to you about the three organizations that provide security, safety and help in the academy. The [Student Council], the [Executive Board] and the [Management Committee]. If you want more information about them, you may go to their quarters in the fourth building. I am not their spokeswoman after all."
The three organizations, huh.
If I remember Jayden and Milleia will join the [Management Committee], such a boring organization… They were taking care of all the events that would be held in the academy, like the election of [Miss Eden] or [Mister Eden] in the academy.
Not gonna lie, I was a little excited about the [Miss Eden] of the academy. I wasn't really interested in such things even on Earth. I mean why men would be interested in that…except cultured men…
I respect cultured men, so please don't be offended!
In any case, even though I have never watched the Miss Universe's election in its entirety, I will at least give a look at the girls at the final phase when only a few girls would remain.
I mean we were speaking about the election of the most beautiful girl in the world. Of course, it piqued my curiosity!
Anyway, with my promotion, no, my whole academy, filled with Heroines, so world-toppling beauties, it will be a fierce competition. Moreover, there was an important game event on that. In the game with Jayden, you could influence the winner thanks to your choices and the one I chose in the game was another [Main Heroine], I still hadn't met yet.
I shook my head, it wasn't now anyway.
"Another thing. I might be your Class Professor, but it doesn't mean you will not meet my colleagues. The same is for your classmates in other classes. There will be lessons with the entire promotion as well. Indeed, you will be more in your full promotion class than in your separate one. Only the points will be divided between each class during the tests at that time. I ask you again to not act childishly, as if you are another species fighting the evil ones from the other classes. We are all from the Celesta Kingdom and we should be proud of that. Defend your Kingdom together, we have enough problems outside our kingdom like that…"
Mona sighed in the end.
I'm sorry, Professor, but your words won't reach our class…
The four classes will fight each other like cats and dogs…
The rivalry between the four classes has existed for decades and this rivalry wasn't going to change anything soon. Everyone felt a sense of attachment and pride to their class already, after all…
I looked at the dark green snake engraving on the sleeves of my blazer.
A competition with the other three classes, filled with [Main Characters] huh.
I smiled.
It was sure going to be interesting.
