Chapter 133 – Chapter 10 – The Flowing Times
“… Today’s lecture ends here. It’s already Friday. It’s another weekend starting tomorrow, so I’d like to tell everyone to take a rest… Everyone knows, right? The midterm exam will be held soon.”
At Klaus’s words, sighs burst out from here and there.
There was no particular reason to get good grades, but that said, there was nothing more humiliating than being ignored by others because of low grades, that was the Continental Academy.
If you don’t consider yourself lacking, but someone from another race, or someone next to you, gets more praise than you and more attention from other cadets.
It became a strength or weakness intact and will continue to follow after that.
In the first place, they entered the Continental Academy saying that they would not reveal their original position.
Wasn’t it to make more allies as a result by highlighting their abilities and, furthermore, the strength of the family they belonged to right here?
“As I said at the beginning, the mid-term exam will be conducted thoroughly through practice. Nothing to worry too much about. I promise you, it will be easier than the sparring with each cadet a few days ago.”
The cadets made faces that said, as expected.
No matter how Klaus was, in the end he was just a professor at the academy.
There would be no need to create uncomfortable relationships with the cadets and those around them.
So, it must be that he is trying to look at the atmosphere while putting some pressure on him and then gradually releasing it.
The moment the cadets are immersed in such happy imagination, Klaus pours cold water on them as if he had waited.
“Oh, one more thing. After the midterm exam, the grades will be released from the first to the last.”
“Yes?”
“Uh?”
“It’s a very easy test, so if you really, really, with a little effort, everyone will sit in first place together. Conversely, some cadets who are caught off guard will be behind it.”
I heard no more that the midterm exam would be very easy.
You’re going to rank them according to the difference in points and reveal them all?
Isn’t it just setting a line and deciding whether to pass or not?
Many of the cadets looked at Klaus with expressions asking if he was serious.
Disclosure of the rankings based on performance means that someone will be cheered and someone will surely be ridiculed, and those who are most perplexed right now will know who the latter will be.
The cadets were just spending time casually and working with other people.
That’s them.
“Professor, I have something to tell you…”
“Do you want to say that most lectures cover the midterm exam with simply passing or failing? Of course you know. Perhaps, as a professor, I would not have checked how other lectures are conducted and what methods are adopted.”
“Then…”
“Unfortunately, the combat magic lecture is a little different from the other lectures. One tiny mistake can make the difference between life and death on the battlefield. I believe that students will understand. As for the ranking part.”
I don’t understand, why the hell are you trying to rank it! These are the expressions
Even the demon cadets, who had been following Klaus’s lectures well, were in trouble.
If you give scores and rankings directly like this, there will surely be a lot of complaints.
It doesn’t matter because they welcome the competition, but the Western cadets, who are still wary of them right now, probably don’t want to suffer the shame of losing to the demons…
‘Everyone, don’t think about it. Still, I did my best to teach, but there’s nothing more heartbreaking than going back to your room with nothing to gain.’
Now, humans, fairies, and beastmen all decided to throw away their lingering feelings and clean up their minds.
Still, I tried to save them through several rounds, but there was a part that took a while.
So, with a minimal conscience, I told the cadets of the Western Union a lot of things.
Even more effective magic control methods, how to breathe while dealing with enemies so as not to strain both the body and magic power, and what methods should be used against more superior enemies to gain the heavenly luck of attracting vigilance and gaining gaps. .
Unless it was a real battle, it wasn’t just once or twice, but most of the know-how that only those who had gone through dozens or hundreds of real battles could have.
Although he didn’t explain it too easily, Klaus was confident that if he worked hard at their level for about a year, his skills would improve considerably, if not to the level of Yulia.
However, in the end, only one person, Yulia, will fully take her teachings here.
In the case of Natasha and Cecily, I still take 90% to 80%.
The rest were often not even half drunk.
The reason was actually quite simple, simple.
There may be a problem with the cadets’ efforts, but in the end, the growth allowed to them is just that.
Because the creator of this world has set them to a level where they can’t even be extras.
As a result, their growth has a very clear limit.
‘Thanks to that, I was able to point out points to Yulia, Natasha, and Cecily with peace of mind. They don’t understand anyway, and even if they recognize it with their head, they can’t follow it with their body.’
So I was able to grow the women I had marked out without any difficulty.
That’s why I’m trying to catch those women unconditionally.
What doesn’t change, what can’t be changed, that Klaus knows very well.
So, make the most of what is possible and quickly give up what is impossible.
That was his survival strategy in his 30th playthrough and his way of enjoying the eternally recurring return.
“Anyway, everyone knows that, let’s wrap up the week well and see you next week.”
Klaus, who once brought up a storm, left the words behind and immediately left the classroom.
But the cadets were still sitting in their seats, unable to recover from the shock.
I really never thought that we would openly reveal the rankings, but what should we do?
Both the cadets who listened intently to the lecture and those who did not listen at all seem worried.
It was a natural result for those who couldn’t understand even half of Klaus’s lecture.
“…”
Yulia, who was looking at that figure, quietly took her own writing utensils.
I don’t know why they are so concerned.
This is incomprehensible to her, who was absorbed in Klaus’s lectures as best she could.
It’s just a part of showing the results as much as they did.
Even the difficulty was said to be easier than the Dalian that was held this time.
Then, there is nothing to worry about.
If they had to worry about one thing, it was their attitude toward Klaus’s lectures.
It will be only that.
“Yulia.”
Just as she was about to step out of the classroom.
Her familiar voice catches her from behind.
Turning her head, she saw Natasha standing still, looking at herself.
“Yes, Natasha. Do you have anything to say?”
At first, they were extremely wary of each other and growled.
One was a demon and the other was a fairy, and that alone was enough of a reason.
In addition, since the goals of each other were similar, it was also a fate that we had no choice but to collide in the end.
Of course, there were no more problems now because Klaus quickly directed the traffic.
“I’m thinking of having dinner together like last time. How are you?”
“Is Professor Klaus coming too?”
“It’s not like that. Instead, I decided to invite someone else. The one who came last time.”
When I say the person who came before her, I mean her, definitely her.
Caela Tiger, a tiger beast who used to be Klaus’ adjutant and is now helping him as an assistant.
A woman who was really strong enough to give goosebumps to Julia herself or Natasha.
A calm cat in front of my commander, but a ferocious beast in front of others.
“… Would it be okay?”
Rather than being happy, there is no choice but to worry.
If you look at Kaela’s activities right now, she doesn’t move at all unless it’s related to Klaus.
At Yulia’s question, Natasha parted her lips knowingly.
“Actually, I talked to Assistant Professor Kayla. In the combat magic lecture, I’m thinking of having a more in-depth conversation with those who received good reviews from Professor Klaus, but asked if you could come and give me some advice.”
“What is the answer?”
“When I heard about Professor Klaus, he nodded right away.”
To Natasha’s words, Yulia responded as expected.
“And there is one more besides us.”
“Are there more?”
“Actually, I’m thinking of singing Cecily LeBlanc as well.”
“…”
When her unexpected name came up, her Yulia face hardened slightly.
Although she had always looked after Cecily in close combat because of Klaus.
Still for her, the mere thought of her Les Blancs family makes her face frown.
To the demon king, she was literally a traitor who clung to others.
Could she have noticed Yulia’s discomfort?
Natasha, who was watching her, opened her mouth quietly.
“The Continental Academy is a very interesting place. People who I thought of as enemies until just yesterday, and who I would never be able to get along with, will find out that they are no different from me as time goes by, and furthermore, they can become quite friendly.”
“…”
“Like you and me.”
At those words, Yulia let out a sigh with all her heart.
She herself realizes that there is nothing wrong with Natasha’s words.
The man whom the demons called a devil and feared so much at some point became their own person and helped them with all their might.
Aren’t you talking to a fairy you thought you’d never be able to get close to, like you’re talking to a friend you’ve known before?
‘Maybe Klaus wants me to advance my relationship with LeBlanc.’
There was no way that the man with all the information could have attached Cecily to himself without knowing anything.
Perhaps he wants a painting that stealthily pulls one of his most wary enemies here back toward him.
Since the Natasha in front of her is also somewhat close to Klaus, there is a high probability that she has received the word.
“… Did you say dinner tonight?”
“Yes, Yulia.”
“Like. Then, like the last time, Professor Klaus will be gone, and the four women will be together.”
“If you want the meeting to be kept secret from others, a little more discussion…”
“Nope. You don’t have to. The fact that you and I are having this conversation right now should have spread all over the place by now.
Rather, I wish the rumors would spread even more exaggeratedly.
Demon King Castle, who thought that only true loyalists left after leaving.
It turns out that there is a possibility that a more fearsome traitor may be hiding inside.
Thanks to that, I had a chance to feed my uncle coolly at the moment when I was gnashing my teeth once again.
‘The Leblanc family was your uncle’s strong support, right? So, where are you going to handle it? Rumor has it that the LeBlanc family’s daughter had a personal affair with the Demon King, whom you so want to push away.’
Of course, my uncle isn’t even an ordinary man, so he wouldn’t suspect the Leblanc family.
However, even if he is resolute, the people around him cannot be like that.
As the power grew, there would be a lot of gossip, and it was the world’s order that the wind swayed violently at once.
“Then, Yulia.”
“Yes, Natasha. See you at dinner tonight.”
