“I will share it with mine!” blurted the princess.
After saying that, the princess seems to realize her blunder and blushing from being embarrassed sharing a table with another boy.
Before she could think of any excuse, “Nah… It’s inappropriate to share a table with the princess such as yourself. I’ll just go ask the teacher with an excuse it suddenly broke.” As Angus went outside the class.
The other student only could watch Angus leaving the class jaw dropped, while Jayna didn’t even know to be angry or not.
At one point it is her fault, but Angus’s non-nonchalant attitude also quite annoying her. Still in the peak of being annoyed, Angus once again does something unpredictable like this.
Angus gave the impression of an unfathomable person that could not be predicted but also quite annoying at the same time to Jayna.
Stressed out by multiple accidents from battle in the Spring Dorm in the morning to now, she could only go to another seat and lay down on her desk grumpily. The other student stay silent, afraid to annoy the stressed out princess.
After a while, Angus came back with another person. From her attire she should be the homeroom teacher that will teach them. After the teacher puts the new desk at Angus’s ‘precious’ location, she introduces herself.
“Alright kids, my name is Elis Springfield. You can call me teacher Elis. I will also teach you basic courses until your 4th year.”
I am a specialist at the world language subject as it is part of my research project. Those that are interested in that subject may ask me in my free time. Now, I will explain some rules before we start the lesson..” [Teacher Elis]
Teacher Elis explains some academy rules, how points work, and few others things inside the academy.
Apparently beside basic courses such as Combat training, History, Monster Studies, Science physic, Arithmetic, Magical runes, and World language, students could choose some side course outside the basic schedule lesson.
The side course is very vast and varies from Noble’s ethic to Smithing. There is even a course called management that teaches how to properly manage your things, especially money.
Students could take side courses as much as possible. However, they need to attend 75% of its official meeting and complete its assignment. Failing to do both will be punished by a reduction of 200 points on each subject.
This way students could not take all the course and also learn to not overestimate him/herself. The basic course will occur every day beside the weekend and ends around twelve o’clock before lunch.
As for the side course, they all have different lengths of time depending on the subject itself. Each side course also has a different time to start.
After receiving the paper about the schedule of the side course, Angus decided to attend Magical Engineering on Monday, Smithing on Tuesday, Alchemy on Wednesday, Enchanting on Thursday, Ancient Language on Friday, and Monster Physiology on Saturday.
He planned to give the impression that will become a researcher or scholar that works behind the desk. This kind of route is usually taken by people that don’t have enough talent in combat strength.
Usually people didn’t try to take this many side courses at once but Angus feels he could do it since he has nothing to do and this is the purpose he came to royal academy.
After being exposed to many magical things in this world, Angus’s curiosity over them is very high. Besides he has his system to help him in his studies. So, he wasn’t afraid to fail in any of them.
Beside basic course and side course, teacher Elis also told the student that the academy also holds various contests every three months.
One of them is a class tournament contest where each class will fight one with each other. The tournament will give points and a few random resources based on the class rank.
The first rank will get 150 points for each person, the second and third rank will get 75 points, below it will not get any points.
Since this first year has only five classes the competition is quite lax compared to other years that have more class. Still they need to at least enter third rank to get a point.
‘Haa.. Another troublesome event. Since we have this spoiled princess in our class then she may push us to win the tournament.’ Thought Angus was looking at the princess that was very energetic hearing the tournament.
Soon, the class ended and the teacher left the student to themselves. At this moment, Jayna walks into the front of the class, “Alright, weaklings I want…”
Before she ends her sentence, Angus just walks out the class without stopping while the others only look at him.
The moment Angus was outside the class, “Angus!! Where are you going?” Shouted Jayna but Angus himself seems not hearing her and continues walking while enjoying the outside scenery.
‘Hmm… I guess I will have lunch first at the canteen before attending Magical Engineering. But, before that I need to trade some points in the trade center.’ Thought Angus while walking towards a certain building.
Arriving at the trade center, he immediately entered it and found himself in a similar place to the bank in his past life.
The only difference is that there are few rare items that are displayed around the room. These displayed items could only be traded with points.
He also heard from Vergil that the trade center will auction some rare items every three months after the tournament event.
After having a long queue and trading his point with his allowance, he goes to the canteen without any hassle.
Still some students seem to recognize him and try to get away from him afraid to implicate their family because of Angus’s father.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter since it is more peaceful this way.’ While Angus was having his lunch quietly in a certain corner.
After having his hearty meals, he attends his Magical Engineer class which is quite an advanced and difficult class for a first year student like him.
Just a dozen minutes after the teacher began his lesson, most of the new students already gave up listening to the lesson.
But, the old teacher didn’t mind it since he was already expecting this. Unlike the others expectations. Magical Engineering involves a lot of advanced calculation and physic knowledge to understand.
The course is to understand the structure of material before doing some practical things like combining the material especially dealing with mana.
The teacher explained that it will be 100% theory for the new student except some special 5th year above student.
Fortunately, the two week is the probation period for the side course. So, the unfortunate student will not have stuck at this course for the entire semester.
As for Angus since he still has some basic knowledge about his past life and his high intelligence stats helps him pick up a few things from the lesson.
‘Ahhh… If I had the idle system in my past life, I didn’t even need to study at all in my past life. This system is the best to just idle around.
Finishing his M.E course, Angus went back to his dorm and found that the circular table in the dining hall is being repaired.
Looking at this, Angus contemplates something before going to his own room and begins to train his body.
While training his body, he checks his system and finds a new selection of enemies. It’s called first year student of Heart Royal Academy.
