Chapter 101 Interclass Event [1]
Anyway, it might be better if I focus on Ryfin for now; he was going to announce something important, after all.
"Now, now, my dear students. There is a little something I have to tell you all," he begins as he put both his hands on the podium.
"I'm sure you all are already used to the magiken sword technique, if not then what I'm going to say next will be troublesome for you. Anyway, since the academy has not allowed me to not make any exceptions for this, I'll just say this straight. The day after tomorrow, an interclass practice session will be held for all four classes in the first year."
As those words left his mouth, the students present in the class started discussing things among themselves. The mumbling voices were so loud that Ryfin had to stop speaking for a while and silence the class by smacking the podium hard with his hand.
The sound caused by it caught the attention of the students and then went quiet and looked at Ryfin again. When he was sure that everyone is paying attention, he spoke again.
"That's right, the academy is holding an interclass practice session for the first-year students, and don't worry, this is an event that is held every year for the first year's. Now, coming to the context of this session, this will be focused on the magiken technique.
All four classes—A, B, C, and D—will face each other and train together. As there is quite a difference between the abilities of the students in each class, pairs are made to determine which class will face which one.
And this is the list decided by the academy, class A will face class B, and class C will face class D. This is based on the skill level of each class, since class A and B were almost on the same level, there were put together—the same goes for class C and D."
This came as quite a shock for the students, I mean facing class A. Crying, "How the hell are we supposed to take on those elites?" "What do you mean by we have paired up against class A? Can't we go for class D or something" "Don't joke with me! There's no we come anywhere near those class A students" could be heard across the classroom.
Some students, specifically those who were average or below average in magiken were the ones spouting this. Though, their thoughts were not unreasonable.
Class A did have a special reputation in this academy, indifferent of which year the class belonged to. If you are a class A student, then you must be pretty elite. That was what went through the minds of the other students.
Though, the reality was a bit different. There wasn't much of a difference, especially at this time of year. Just like any other class, class A students were also just enrolled here and were rookies, whether it be in magic or magiken.
Yes, there were a few exceptions of those who trained before coming to the academy but their numbers were few, and then again, that type of students were in our class also.
That's why, if you have to take down class A and gain a chance to show off, this was the best time when class A was at its lowest; a one-time opportunity that will never shine again.
Students who understood this were filled with excitement and thrill instead of getting scared like some others. Of course, these students were confident in their skills and above all, confident in themselves.
And if you talk about me, I belonged to neither of the sides. This interclass training session had an entirely different meaning for me.
"Calm down kids, don't get so worked up over this," said Ryfin. "This is, but a training session after all. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose because this is not a competition, to begin with. This is just an event where each of you will individually face a class A student and fight with them to hone your skills and learn from each other…"
After that Ryfin explained to us the details of this event. I, of course, knew about this beforehand since this event was in loli_pop's novel. And this is what caused the death of Zero—aka me—in the novel.
This time, however, it won't go as expected; at least after a certain point.
Anyway, if I focus on what this event is all about, then it'll be something like this.
? In the interclass magiken training session that will be held the day after tomorrow, students from different classes will spare with each other to train, and learn new moves.
The main motive of this session was to give the students a real battle experience so that they can get an idea of what they are training to become and what the battles they'll fight in the future will be like—except with the difficulty 10x higher from now.
In the event, one student at a time from both the classes will duel each other using the magiken technique. The duel will obviously end up with one side losing but there won't be any rewards for the winner or any penalties for the loser. Since this was just a training session.
And yeah, since this was written by loli_pop, Leon will have some of his op mc moments with girls shouting "OMG! How good and powerful he is!" "Ah!! He is the prince I was searching for!!" things like that.
Those lines were actually in the novel by the way. 'Honestly, I can't understand how come the readers did not die of cringe after reading that. I mean it was 2022!! Not a year fit for dialogues like "he is my prince" or bullshit like that.'
Well, that doesn't concern me. The event was going to be important for me whether it was made my loli_pop or not; since this is something that'll decide my death.
