Chapter 12: Dark Demon survived tenaciously (1)
The classes on Tuesday were dueling class, arithmetic class and history of magic.
The first-year's duel class professor, Pavar Jones, was a duel master with one-sixteenth giant bloodline!
Not only that, she was also the dean of Noble House!
Speaking of, the dean of Knight House was Professor Sarah Silver of the summoning class and those of Magister House and of Fool House were Professor Lily Laplace from arithmetic and Professor Didi Maxwell of History of Magic respectively.
Just like a typical Galgame, these four deans were all women!
Saint Marian Academy, from the name of the academy to the principal to the professors, it all felt like an all-girls magical academy.
Professor Jones, who had a one-sixteenth of the giant bloodline, was one size bigger than ordinary humans. She had refreshing short hair, bronzed skin, and an inhumanly robust figure with strong muscles, and was full of energy.
Although Dark was not interested in this professor who was more than two meters tall and had two basketballs, it looked like she was quite popular in the academy?
Heard that Professor Jones's giant blood origin was from the giant royal family, and her father was a pure blood human nobleman. Although she was not pure blood in terms of race, she was definitely pure blood in the sense of "aristocracy"!
Among senior students of Saint Marian, she had many admirers, both men and women, mainly for her power of course.Both Noble House and Knight House's freshmen were looking forward to this Professor Jones's dueling class.
Unfortunately, in this class, Professor Jones only explained some elementary theoretical knowledge, including the rules and tactics of duel competitions, the matching of various magic cards, the mutual restraint between racial attributes...
The good news was the recruitment of the duel club would be held this Friday afternoon.
The bad news was one must have a set of 20 magic cards at the very least to join the club!
The bad news broke the hope of the freshmen who were looking forward to joining this duel club directly!
It was only the second day of school. Who would have 20 magic cards?But then again, if they could not even collect a set of decks, what was the point of participating in the duel club?
...
The next arithmetic class was more boring and difficult than the duel class.
The freshmen were miserable, saying that this must be the hardest lesson in the first year!
Dianna said she was dreaming throughout the class.
Although Rose was paying attention to the class, her face was confused, obviously not getting it.
As for Dark.
Dark wasn't listening at all.
This kind of elementary-level math class really insulted his IQ!
【Pride+1】
Professor Lily Laplace of the arithmetic class was known as a little fairy, a different race that had a close relationship with elves.
They had the same long lifespan and accumulated wisdom like elves.
Professor Lily Laplace prefered her students to call her Professor Lily.
Like most of the little fairies, she had the appearance of an eleven or twelve years old human being, and she looked even younger than the freshmen, but in fact, she was much older than she looked.
Her height was about the same as Dianna.
In addition, she had a pair of dragonfly wings and didn't seem to like to wear shoes. She was always flying, almost never touching the ground.
Professor Didi Maxwell, the professor of the history of magic in the third class, was also a little fairy. She had butterfly wings but looked very old, with deep wrinkles on her forehead.
Professor Didi's teaching method was the same as that of Professor Lili, and they were all completely based on the text.
They may possess great knowledge and insight, but they weren't really suitable for teaching...
The history of magic could be regarded as the most boring course. Fortunately, Professor Didi was accommodating. Even if the students accidentally fell asleep in class, she would just tap it and deduct a five or ten points.
...
In addition, Professor Didi was also responsible for the astronomy class on Wednesday night.
However, the astronomy class was an "interest class", which would be held only when Professor Didi made a notice.
Therefore, one month before enrollment, there was no designated astronomy class.
Similarly, there was the magic beast study on Friday!
There was a rumor that this magic beast study would not start until the next semester, and it was very likely to be further postponed.
First-year students were not allowed to enter the dungeons outside the castle, so it was difficult to learn magic beast study.
As a result, there were only six subjects left for the week: Summoning, Introduction to Magic, Potions, Duel, Arithmetic, and History of Magic, each with two lessons.
It could be assumed relaxing!
...
[Library]
Dark rushed to complete the registration before Pandora arrived, and sat in the same place as yesterday.
Then, he took out the problem set of the arithmetic class and started to work on the problems.
These questions were too simple!
With the Nine-nine song(TL:Chinese multiplication table), Dark finished the question very quickly.
By the time Emma sat down by his side, he had finished almost half.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the entire problem set was finished!
This meant that the arithmetic homework for this semester was basically done.
Dark closed the problem set and satisfactorily placed it on the upper left corner of the table.
Because he was pretty calm while solving the problems, the [Greed] indicator was not triggered.
Unfortunately, because he was happy about it, [ Pride+1 ] popped up to his sight!
"Does it mean I'm proud and complacent of finishing the elementary school math problems?"
Dark was shocked!
Emma was also shocked!
Emma couldn't imagine how Dark had completed an entire set of exercises in such a short period of time.
Everyone was a first-year student, but why was he so smart?
Emma was so astonished and even started to learn arithmetic by herself.
...
After finishing his homework, Dark looked at the [Pride] index that could not fall for some reason. Although he didn't exhibit any emotion on his face, he was really worried.
"Am I really an arrogant person?"
Dark began to ask himself.
...
And this question remained in his mind for a month.
Dark has no idea how he survived this month!
But, it was true that life was like being targeted by a slut. Since you couldn't resist, you must learn to enjoy it.
Dark had become the star among first-year freshmen!
He would get up at six every morning and appear in the common room at six-fifteen sharp.
