False Hero

Following Agata, I went outside the classroom. Walking beside her I asked, "Are we going to really search for the teacher?"

"Yes, She gets lost rather quickly," she answered.

"You know her?"

"Yes I do, she was my personal teacher who helped me with the basics of magic. At that time she was a young woman who was just looking for extra money. Her name is Mirchi." 

"Ah, you are talking about professor Mirchi?"

"You know her?" she asked. 

"She was the one that led me to the place where my entrance exam was held," I answered. 

"I see...." she looked at me as she said "By the way, I have recently observed that you seem to greatly attract two types of people. People who greatly like you and are fond of you, then there are people who have great enmity towards you. Well, the reason is your intense personality. I am rather fond of your personality."

I smiled as I said "I am fond of your direct and decisive personality. A personality that is a great fit for a profession like ----- Yes! You would make a great general."

She turned around as she said, "Then I would be your general of your kingdom."

I laughed as I said "Sure sure."

"My mom cousin used to say that 'A king should have a friend in his general 'and I suppose we are already good friends, so I am a great fit for that position."

"Now that I think about it, it would be nice to have a friend in general," I said as I kept walking with her. 

Now that I think about it, we both are walking pointlessly in the passageway. "Aren't we supposed to search for----"

as I was going to say something, I saw a young woman with a sweaty forehead, perhaps from panicking too much. She was looking around in sheer anxiety, and also her white coat was oversized for her body. It was kind of cute.

It was professor Mirchi, I waved my hand to her as I walked towards her. 

"Grey!! and ---- and Agata? what are you both doing here?"

She was trying her best to hide the fact that she was panicking and also that she was lost.

"Professor Mirchi, we came to find you. Now come one we will lead you to the class," said Agata.

"Wait! how do you know that I am your class teacher?" 

Agata looked at Professor Agata as she said "I have my source of information."

"But --- but!! a student shouldn't --- anyways would you both please hide the fact that I got lost on my first day as the class teacher. I would ---- I would be fired!!"

"Sure, I mean, I wouldn't tell anyone," I said.

"Really? you both are such a good kids!! I will make sure to treat you both especially in the classroom"

Oi oi teacher, there are many things that are morally incorrect about it. 

We guided the teacher back to the classroom as we sat back on our specific chairs. Profesor Mirchi entered the class and in an instant, she was like a different personality. 

In contrast to the stiff nervous personality, she looked rather confident and strict now. The white coat she was wearing, was loose yet it made her menacing somehow.

"Hey kids, I am professor Mirchi and I am assigned as a class teacher for you kids this year. Before anything, I would want to inform you that there is also another class that is also part of your class, which is class 1. But for now, the kids are kept different, but depending on the subject the two classes might merge as one. One of those classes is the practical training classes."

Clapping her hands together she continued "By the way, you all will be taken to common ground where all you will be merged with the other class. The purpose of taking you all there is to test your mana core size so that we can designate all of you into of the three houses. The three houses are the Warrior, Mage-warrior, and also the pure mage house."

She proceeded to walk outside as she said, "Now get up and follow me. By the way please maintain a line while following me."

We got up and followed her in the line. It is impressive how effectively she changed her personality. 

"Grey, I think there will be a cliche scene where a random bad guy would pick on you for no apparent reason. I think this will happen in the common ground," said Frank out of nowhere, as he was walking in front of me.

"Are you talking about yourself?" 

"Huh? ew no, i am a good guy okay." 

"Frank, don't you remember our first encounter?" I asked with a straight tone. 

"Umm, let's not talk about the past."

Well as we were walking in the line a particular girl was holding on to my shirt as she was walking behind me. It was Lora of course and she wants to say something to me, but she is holding herself back. 

Eventually, she started talking to Aetna and Rai, they were getting along well.

We reached the ground and saw that there was already one class who was waiting for our class in the common ground. Not exactly in the common ground, it was right in front of a room and the other class was already going in the room one by one and exiting the room with few changes in their uniform. 

I guess they are checking the mana size in the room and altering the new uniform for each student. We were told to enter with one student of another class with each student at a time. 

By the way, the other class is division B, whereas our division is A. But apparently, we are supposed to be a part of the same class and most of our activities would be done together. 

I also spotted, March and Walk in the other class ---- ah there also seems to be Killian over the other class. Waiting in line, each student of both divisions went inside the room one by one and came back. 

Eventually, Frank went inside and came back with a new uniform. The black blazer and shirt now had a silver outline throughout the uniform. The silver outline in the clothes means that Frank is the part of Mage-Warrior class. 

It was next to my turn, so I went inside and along with me there was another guy who was walking rather aggressively. He did try to bump into me, but I simply dodged at as I kept walking ahead, this------ this is definitely the same old bad guy encounter. 

Seated inside was Aunt Ronia, she took a glance at us. As a smile took over her face, she said "Oh, Grey! my dear nephew! and ----- " 

Aunt Ronia looked at the other guy as she asked "Please state your name."

"I am from the Rench family!! the famous family of scholars and my name is Dick Rench." 

Aunt Ronia slipped a laugh under her breath but she quickly regained her composure as she said "Okay, please sit down." 

This guy's name is Dick, what a tragedy. 

Aunt Ronia was searching for something on the desk.  She looked around as she said "Where is it? --- I just kept it here."

"Grey Hoffmann, I heard about you from Win and various other of my people. I suggest that you rather stay away from our way, I have seen many people like you. Cocky guys like you don't really end well---"

I looked towards him as I asked "Are you talking to me?"

"Listen here, you ----- don't make an enemy out of me or any other families." he sighed as he said, "I think we will have to make an example out of you."

I couldn't hold my chuckle as I said "I remember a guy who said the exact same thing, it didn't really end well for him."

"Ah ---- I found it," said Aunt Ronia as she picked up the device to measure my mana core size. 

{Author: It was the same device, that was there in the tournament arc.}

"Okay---" Aunt Ronia pointed the device towards the guy, and later the crystal of the device turned to that of a light shade of yellow. Looking at the crystal, Aunt Ronia spoke "Umm---- it looks like that you are a pure mage, nice nice."

Later she turned the device towards me and the color changed to that of the light violet, opening her mouth she spoke "It looks like you will be of Warrior class!! just like your dad!!"

He chuckled in a distasteful way as he said, "Was his dad a weakling too?"

I don't know why, it wasn't like I was mad. But for some reason, my hand moved on my own as i said "Aunt Ronia, close the door." 

Grabbing his collar, I slammed his head on the table. Pinning him on the table, I locked his hand behind his back. Aunt Ronia had already closed the door using her magic. 

"Weakling? I have pinned you against the table and yet you are powerless to do anything. It's not like I am angry, I just want you to make sure that you will be out of my way in the future." 

I was using the power of Ormr blood to disrupt his mana flow and I was releasing all my aura to pressure him down. I want him to know what it really means to deal with me.. I want him to know that what it's like to fear me.
