Chapter 102 Interclass Event [2]
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.
"Okay, that's about it. Do you have any questions regarding the training session? If yes then better say it now," Ryfin surveyed after he finished explaining the details of the training session.
"Umm, I had a question?" a boy said as he raised his hand.
"Yes?"
"Are we allowed to go all out in this training? Or are there any rules set for the safety of the students?"
"No, there aren't any rules of that sort. You can use whatever moves you want until that isn't a one that can cause the other student to die," replied Ryfin.
The boy who asked the question nodded and then sat back in his seat. Regardless, the question he asked, or rather the answer Ryfin gave, scared a few students.
He said all is allowed until the life of the other party is not in danger, but if you flip it, it'll come as you or the other student can do whatever they want with you if they keep you alive.
It was a scary thing indeed, for students who weren't confident in their skills or slacked off in magiken lessons. And I'm afraid to say I am the latter since I can't use magiken at all I will have a hard time in this interclass session.
"Anyone else has something to ask? No? Well then, the class for today will end here. Go home and practice, you have one and a half days before the training session. I mean, you will want to be in your best form while facing the students of other classes, don't you?" said Ryfin.
After that, the class was dismissed and the students begin to leave. Some were trembling in fear and some in excitement, while there were some who just didn't care at all.
Seeing that there wasn't anything to do in here, I got up from my seat and left the class. I walked down an empty corridor that led in a different direction than the dorms or the cafeteria.
The corridor was empty and only the sounds of my footsteps could be heard, though I was able to hear the sound of someone else's footsteps.
"What do you want?" I asked as I stopped in my tracks.
"Nothing really," the person behind me responded.
I turned around to take a look and he was just the person I expected, Ryfin. He was in a black suit and had his hands inside his pockets; with a smile on his face, he was looking at me.
"Then why are you following me? Care to give any explanation for that?" I inquired.
"My, my, I'll get scared if you look at me with an expression like that on your face~," he said in a soft voice as if teasing me.
"Get to the point already."
"Yeah, yeah. But just like I said, there isn't really a reason for why I'm following you. I was just a bit worried about you," he revealed.
"Hmm? Since when you started caring about me? Did you hit your head or something?"
"Ah, don't talk like that. Does a teacher have any need for a reason to worry about their student?"
"At least you do I'll say. Just get straight to the point already."
"Sigh! Fine, fine. I was interested in you, in how you are planning on taking this training session. Since both you and I know that you can't use magiken, how will you go about this? Don't tell me you are planning on taking a sick leave?" he appealed.
"You don't need to know that. Now get lost…teacher," I said and with that, I turned back and begin walking again.
Maybe he left because I was not able to hear the sound of his footsteps anymore. After a bit of walking, I got out of the corridor and entered the grounds. Soon, I was standing before the building I was headed to.
Looking up, I saw a two-floored building built with concrete and bricks. There weren't many windows and the gate in front of me was made out of wood, with two guards standing beside the door. This was the office of this academy, where all the staff worked.
"Halt!" one of the guards said as he stopped me from entering the building.
"I have some work in there, please let me go," I responded.
The guard whispered something in the other guard's ear and then the other one opened the gate and went inside. After a couple of minutes and came out again and gave the other guard a nod.
"You can go now," said the guard who stopped me before.
"Thank you," offering them a greeting, I went inside as they opened the door for me.
Going through a narrow pathway that was built with stone walls and floor, I soon stepped inside a large hall. There were many wooden tables and chairs all across the hall and people were sitting on them, doing some paperwork.
I looked around and searched for a certain room, this was not the first time I came here so finding it was not a problem. It was a small room made of four wooden walls with glass panes in the corner of the main hall
I begin walking and after taking a few steps I reached there and then knocked on the door of the small room. After a bit of waiting, "Come in," someone said from the inside. Following their words, I unlocked the door by twisting the doorknob and then stepped inside, closing the door back again.
There I saw that a big, rectangular, wooden table was placed in the middle with three chairs, two on one side and one on the other. On the single chair, a man who seemed to be in his mid-fifties with white hair and a beard was sitting with his hands resting on the table.
