Chapter 36: Chapter 36 New Students
In a luxurious bath tub, a beautiful woman who seemed in her twenties rested. She had long black hair that floated on the water.
Glub! Glub! Glub!
Streams were coming out of the water as it was boiling at high temperatures, but seeing her relaxed face, it seemed like the boiling water wasn't affecting her.
"Master." A woman called her out from behind.
"Yes"
"The shadow we assigned to protect the young miss has died." Hearing the words, the woman opened her eyes, revealing mesmerizing golden eyes that shone lightly. As she opened her eyes, the room she was in shook a little, and the woman who was behind her trembled in fear.
"Is Lucy alright?" she asked in concern and worry.
"Y-yes, n-nothing to worry about." She said while trembling.
"Elobarate." The black haired woman commanded.
Composing herself, she started explaining, "It seems young Miss had a conflict with a cadet, and it escalated to a fight, and the young Miss got hurt. Because it was so sudden, the shadow took action."
"The fool took action on his own, huh? And the academy disposed of him, right?"
"Yes"
"So who is that kid? Has the academy gone so far as killing a shadow assigned from the Lukostrelec family?" she asked.
"Cadet Jadel Wayner, the disowned child of the Wayner family."
"Hhe, that's unexpected. Did that guy become soft? He wouldn't care even if his family members died... After all, he killed his first wife and children to gain more power.
Well, next time, if he did anything to my daughter outside of the academy, give him an appropriate punishment; if he tried to kill her, torture him until he breaks."
"Yes"
"Do you have anything else to say?" The woman shook her head.
"No"
"Then leave"
Splash!
After the woman, who seemed to be a butler, got out of the bathroom, she slowly got out of the tub, revealing her beautiful figure. Walking to a drawer, she took the robe and covered herself.
"Jadel, huh. Thats unexpected"

It's been two days since the rank assessment. The repair of the academy was completely finished, and from today on, the classes also started.
After we got our new ranking, I saw Taren jumping rank all the way to A class, the same class as the main cast. In the novel, they would have hidden their strength with the help of Ms. Elisa and fought fiercely in the first year academy tournament. But since they took a massive hit this time, way worse than the dungeon incident, they decided to not hold back, just as I predicted.
But I was in the same class since I only jumped four ranks.
[ Cadet Jadel Wayner
Rank: 2496
Class: 10E
Disability: Damaged mana veins ]
Looking at the holographic screen, I could only sigh. 'Well, it's good; with a way of knowing to grow quickly, I'm not as scared as the first time.'
I walked to my classroom and entered. Even though not all students arrived at the time, the ones present in the classroom were all new faces.
"Get out; it's my seat." I looked at the guy who sat in my seat and said,.
"Ho, sorry." He apologized and took the seat beside me. He had black hair and black eyes. Seeing his face, he looked innocent, but I could spot tattoos hidden under his collar.
After 15 minutes, the classroom was filled with new students, except me.
'The fuck, am I the only old student here?' I did expect they wouldn't hold back this time, but I never thought all of them would jump ranks. 'It's certainly an abnormal growth. Did that entity do something?'
"Good morning, students." Jolting me out of my thoughts, Ms. Elisa entered the classroom with her usual great energy and cheerful personality, blessing us with her beautiful smile that melts every man's heart.
Seeing her beautiful figure and smile, the guys looked at her, mesmerized by her beauty. Even girls couldn't escape her beauty.
"All of you are newly enrolled here, right?" She asked, even though she knew the answer.
""Yes."" They said in unison.
Ms. Elisa looked at me and smiled. "Then let me introduce myself. My name is Elizabeth, the homeroom teacher; you guys could call me Ms. Elisa.
Okay. When I call your names, give an introduction speech."
"Rank 2500- Jermie Neo"
He stood up and started introducing himself: "Hi, you can call me Jermie. I'm new here and hope we can enjoy our time together in the academy."
"Good. Rank 2499- Clarie Thompson"
" I-Im Clarie, I-it's nice to meet you guys."
After two more people, Ms. Elisa called my name.
"Rank 2496- Jadel Way– …Atlanta" There was a slight confusion on her face as she read out my name.
Murmur! Murmur!
"Is he a mermaid?"
"Whoa, it's my first time seeing a mermaid."
"Can he transform?"
Jadel's mother sent me a message asking about my well being and saying she would be changing my last name because the Wayner family clearly wants to cut ties with me. but I didn't think she would change into her formar last name, a name only used by the King's family, 'Atlanta'.
"Then is he a nobl–"
"You can call me Jadel; I'm partially new to this class." She continued calling names and finally reached
"Rank 2451- Lui Grey"
"My name is Lui Grey; call me Lui. It's a pleasure to meet you all." It was the tattooed guy that sat on my seat.
'Ah, that guy is rank 1 in this class. Will he bully me now?'
Clap!
"Okay, since you guys are new to the academy, I will start with the fundamentals of basic mana control."
"So mana is..."
Since I knew all of that, I felt sleepy and fell asleep.
Tap! Tap!
"Mmm." Looking, I saw Lui Grey tapping on the desk.
"It's time for the next class." He said.
"Wake up, Jadel; it's combat training now." She said and walked out of the classroom, leading the students. Getting up, I also walked with them, and soon we reached the combat training ground. Changing our clothes from uniform to battle suit, we walked to the combat ground.
Since it was their first time, Ms. Elisa waited until every student changed and came to the ground.
"Good, all of them arrived."
Clap!
Clapping her hand, she attracted the students attention. "So, is there anyone who has experience in combat?" A few of them raised their hands. "Good, now those who have experience in fighting should separate from the group. And for those who don't know how to fight, I will give you weapon techniques that are easy to learn. For your information, every student will learn to fight, including mages." She said.
After distributing the techniques, she arrived at the experienced group. "I will now help them learn their techniques, and for you guys, I prepared this." Thirteen training dummies arrived at the combat ground, matching our numbers.
"I have inputted the data of my former students who jumped ranks and moved to another class, so fight with them for a while."
""Yes""
A dummy approached me and took its stance as two daggers appeared on its hands.
'Taren' seeing its stance, I instantly realized it was a copy of Taren.
"Huh." As I looked at others dummies, I saw Lui's dummy take the exact same stance as me, but something was different.
'Is that really my copy.'
I couldn't think more as the dummy in front of me rushed at me suddenly.
Swoosh!
My eyes widened seeing the dummy approach me at a fast speed. 'Fast, too fast' I barely avoided a fatal strike to my neck, but I felt a sting on my neck.
"For the information, the dummies only use 60% of the power that the real students are capable of. And if the dummy deems you dangerous, it will increase its strength.
