Abandoned by my Childhood Friend, I Became a War Hero

12 – Opal Black Class #2

After introducing myself, I went up to my room. It was because I had to finish the preparations for the entrance ceremony to be held the next day.

Preparation does not mean that you have to do something, but it was more like preparing instructions for the students or essential knowledge of the academy in advance.

In the future, students will ask this and that, but as an instructor, you can’t answer that you don’t know.

I was worried about the situation among the students in charge, but I didn’t bother to go downstairs. Marquis Karlstein also said during the war. Originally, in a position like this, the superiors need to be aware of it so that they can get along well.

I think I said that I shouldn’t fall for it from the beginning… That part was vague in my memory. It wasn’t very important at the time, so I just spilled it in moderation.

I remembered that I was a student in charge, but one of them hadn’t arrived at the dormitory yet.

Gwynn Triss. Somehow, we met before I even came to the academy. Did something happen that I didn’t come by this time?

“Hmm….”

Since I saw it in person, I thought it would arrive safely, but I’ll have to check it out.

The Student ID of Fillion Academy is enchanted with ‘tracking the coordinates’ in case of an emergency. Thus, the academy can immediately locate a student if necessary.

I should have gotten his student ID in advance after the Windows entrance exam. You need it to easily pass through the institutional barrier and enter the academy, so you must keep it in your arms.

Of course, even for safety reasons, tracking a student’s location can be misused, so encryption magic is put on it so that no one can track it, and only the homeroom instructor can read the interpretation code.

Of course I don’t know how to use tracking magic. But if you know the code, you can find it. Because this is Fillion Academy, which provides everything you need for students.

I took out a magic scroll enchanted with tracking magic from the instructor’s personal drawer. Then, tearing off the scroll, I entered Gwynn Triss’ student ID number and the interpretation code.

“… What?”

The tracking magic succeeded. But an unexpected location popped up.

The location of Gwynn Triss was shown right here, Opal Black Dormitory.

At the moment I wondered what this was all about. Suddenly, the building vibrated slightly.

It was a minute vibration that would not have been felt if it were not for the developed five senses, but since the dormitory building is thoroughly protected with the highest level of protection, even a slight vibration does not occur.

That meant that someone was knocking on the door with moderate shock.

But the intruder warning doesn’t appear… I could roughly guess what was going on.

When I left the room and went down to the lobby, students were gathering and buzzing. Some students were looking at me with expressions asking for something, so I strode to the entrance of the dormitory and opened the door at once.

“Aagh!!”

Then the intruder(?), Who had been ramming his body outside the mansion, could not overcome his strength and rolled the floor with splendor.

“Ah, ouch… I just got in… What? You met that time!”

I said, unable to hold back a deep sigh.

“Gwynn Triss. You are the last.”

Gwynn was the same as when he met him in Area 21. The difference is that the clothes are all over the place and there are things like rotten leaves. It looked like a person who had been in distress and was dramatically rescued.

Opal Black students seemed to feel absurd and relieved at the same time that the identity of the person knocking on the door was his classmate. There were also expressionless students who did not know what they were thinking.

And as a result of hearing the circumstances from Gwynn, I was able to know the absurd fact.

“Hey, when I started wandering through the forest, I thought I was in distress without even moving… I’m glad you arrived safely. It really feels like a dead end!”

He, no, she is long. That’s an incredible level of gilchi.

The Opal Black Dormitory is just a short walk along the road as soon as you get off the station. He had been wandering through the forest until now because he had not been able to find the way.

Even when we first met yesterday, the academy prospective students wanted to do something in District 21, but they were wandering around unable to find their way. Even though District 3 and District 21 are in opposite directions.

Not only that. In addition to her guild, Gwynn was even a serious machinist. The cause of this incident was that she couldn’t think of a simple way to put her student ID at the entrance, and just ignorantly put it in with force, thinking that the door was locked and that she had to open it.

“Savages… ?”

Marian muttered with a dazed expression. It was a bad remark to disparage the foreign race, but Batar, who could be called a real savage here, seemed unconcerned.

Gwynne laughed, scratching the back of her head with a quizzical expression.

“Until now, I lived alone with Master in the mountains. That’s why I’m a bit clumsy with magic power machines.”

“No matter what, it is. Didn’t you listen to the explanation when you got your student ID?”

“Huh? Ah, I was told what kind of magic power to do at the entrance… It was so difficult that I couldn’t understand it at all!”

Gwynn probably said, “If you register the magic pattern of your student ID at the entrance, the door will open automatically. Be careful of loss.’ You must have heard the explanation. I also received a similar guide when I received my instructor’s certificate from Instructor Lyria.

The problem is that Gwynn couldn’t understand the simple explanation that even I, who had no connection with magic, could understand. Other students, even if they don’t say it with their mouth, say, ‘Intelligence failure… ?

I’m the instructor, so I’ll have to deal with this situation first.

“Gwynn. Go in and wash up and change your clothes. Those clothes are too old.”

“Yes! Best of luck in the future, dear… No, Instructor!”

Gwyn entered the room smiling innocently. It was lights out soon, so all the other students were sent back to their rooms.

And the day of the entrance ceremony dawned.

***

The goal of Fillion Imperial Academy is to nurture the best talent on the continent. Therefore, the academy is basically an elite education.

As the role of the academy is to gather a small number of talented people and nurture them into the elite of the elite using the empire’s enormous capital, the number of students is inevitably small compared to the large site.

Even so, if you recruit talented students from all over the continent, of course, a huge number will come. Even in Jedo Sangria alone, the youth population is about 150,000, and even if only one person in a thousand is brought in, there are already 150 people in the system.

That’s why the number of new students at this year’s Fillion Academy, selected and selected through the entrance exam, far exceeded 1,000.

About 300 each of Diamond White, who grew up in a good environment and education since childhood, and Garnet Red, a commoner class that makes up the majority of the empire. There were about 200 students in each class in Sapphire Blue and Emerald Green, which consisted of priests, seminarians, and foreign and heterogeneous people.

Compared to Opal Black’s number of students.

A total of 8 people.

“… ….”

My eyes sting.

It is natural to stand out. It is also a hot topic that a new class that has not been heard of has been created, but the number is only 8. The members are also very colorful, including the princess, the granddaughter of the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, a prince from another country, and an elf princess.

Since it is the entrance ceremony for freshmen, enrolled students are not obliged to attend, but a significant number of enrolled students participated in the spirit of seeing what kind of kids they are.

Most of them were looking at the students, but there were also a lot of eyes fixed on me. It was the first time the instructor had ever heard that name, so he seemed curious about what he was doing.

The Opal Black students seemed a little burdened with their concentrated gaze and strange whispers. Elisabeth was the only one standing calmly with a nonchalant face. Maybe it’s because she’s a princess, so people’s gazes are already familiar to her.

I met eyes with Instructor Lilya, who was looking this way. She stood in front of the students wearing red badges as if she was in charge of Red Garnet. I lightly nodded my head at her small smile, as if telling me to cheer up.

Soon after, President Heinkel stood on the podium and the entrance ceremony began.

It is unfortunate for the president, but not many students listened to his speech.

***

After the entrance ceremony, I led the students into the Opal Black classroom in the lecture hall.

“Elisabeth is the temporary head of Opal Black. If there is no other candidate after a week, Elisabeth continues as class president.”

“Yes, Instructor.”

After watching for a while, a significant number of students already implicitly treated Elisabeth as their leader. I don’t know if that’s the strength of her rank as a princess, or her natural charisma.

“You must take 5 public classes and 3 major classes. Each of you choose the class you want to take and submit it to me by the designated time.”

Common classes are conducted within the class, but major classes are held separately in different lecture buildings by gathering majors who are divided within each class.

Among the subjects I am assigned, ‘basic physical training’ is a common class, and ‘combat practice’ is a major class.

Gwynn asked, raising his hand.

“Instructor. How many classes can I take?”

“There is no limit on the number. But you will have to think a lot about the timetable.”

Since the academy is large, you need to consider the time it takes to move between the lecture halls. Besides, if you take too many classes, there are so many things to pay attention to, so it will be difficult to get high grades, and in the end it will be neither one nor the other.

The conclusion was that selection and concentration were important. To become a master of swordsmanship, if you take all the classes such as swordsmanship theory, swordsmanship practice, internal mana management and mana strengthening, and combat practice, even two bodies will not be enough.

It is wise to set up a timetable by considering what each student needs, such as prioritizing physical training in the first semester and developing magic power in the second semester.

As if they understood that, the students each took up a piece of paper and started thinking seriously.

“Students who need counseling should come to the office.”

I left the classroom to give myself time to think.

And soon after, Marian came to see me.
