Surprising Even Breathing

18 – first class

Demesis exclusive seat.

There were luxurious chairs and desks just like the seats other students were sitting on.

However, what is different from them is that it is located alone about 2 to 3 meters away and that a magic circle is also engraved on the floor.

I sat down in a chair that was openly marked as my seat.

Then, the magic circle is activated and controls the magic that I emit so that it does not spread to the surroundings.

‘Is this also a magic circle that controls magic?’

Even if I stay still, the people around me cannot stand the energy flowing from me.

It will be a device designed to prevent that.

Looking around at first glance, it seems that only the Demesis seat where I am sitting is isolated as mana flows inward.

The place where Demesis is sealed.

That explanation fits better.

Thanks to this, only my seat feels particularly heavy and gloomy.

It was already in the corner of the back seat, but it was scary enough for others to turn their heads and look at it.

“… … .”

Come to think of it, it was a natural thing to do.

Fortunately, as a result of my tattooing and mastering my magical powers, no students in this class passed out after running into me.

In order to mix with them, it was a magical power control device that had to be activated at all times.

Do I want to look a little more normal to them with this?

I looked at the students sitting in the same classroom as me.

Everyone sits quietly and calmly.

Originally, the first day at the academy was an awkward and awkward atmosphere, but as explained in the book, they were shy students.

‘Or is it because I’m scared?’

“No way,” he tilted his head.

I was controlling my own mana.

In addition, a mana control cape, hood, and bracelet. This time, after getting a tattoo, the amount of mana flowing outward has noticeably decreased.

In addition, since I am sitting in the magic control space called the Demesis seat, the burden caused by me will be much less.

I can say that my first impression to my classmates was pretty good.

I looked at the students from all over the continent, who were staring at their desks in a straight posture, as if they had gathered only model students.

flinch.

For some reason, the back of my neck stiffens when I look at them.

Various races and human groups were mixed, but they were all similar in trembling at attention.

‘weird. I’m sure I wouldn’t be so scared today.’

Didn’t you come after experimenting with Wirekka?

Unlike usual, it was the escort leader who approached 2m.

I think I’ve become pretty normal.

In fact, there were students who glanced back at me.

It was a face I knew.

Vivid brown hair, clear and distinct impression.

Broa.

“Kyat!”

When she met my eyes, she was startled.

I guess I didn’t know that no one was looking at me.

He looked at me alone, and when our eyes met, he trembled.

I don’t know why we sat at the farthest place from me and saw each other from this distance.

I looked to see if there were more familiar faces.

brown short hair.

He was trying hard to look away from me while raising his glasses with one hand.

No matter how I think about it, she looks like the head of the information guild.

I’ll ask later if I’m right.

Anyway, it’s a really quiet place.

Aren’t classrooms usually described as noisy?

Is it because it’s still the first day?

The suffocating silence continued until the teacher entered the classroom, probably because of the group of introverted students.

I opened the front door and looked at the teacher entering the classroom.

surprise.

Embarrassed by the quiet and static atmosphere of the classroom, as if no one was there, he looked in my direction and then hesitated.

*

“Oh, well. Academy special class students. Nice to meet you. My name is Trunen, and I am in charge of this class.”

He didn’t turn his head this way anymore after he took one look in my direction as he entered.

He continued his explanation with a stiff face.

“I think you must have already heard about our special class before entering the academy. I will explain once again the rules that students should pay special attention to.”

In the list of professors at the Gloria Imperial Academy that Wirekka researched, Trunen was evaluated as quite authoritative and strict.

He is notorious for being unkind and arrogant towards his students.

But in real life, he is very polite and courteous.

Are the rumors about him wrong, or is it because he stood in front of me?

That will have to be seen in the future.

“As we announced in advance, our academy prohibits all discrimination based on status or race. Please keep in mind that anyone who asserts their identity or causes conflict between tribes may be given penalty points or expelled from school.”

It was clearly emphasized that all students admitted to this academy are of the same student status.

“You can freely talk to your classmates, but it is a rule to speak respectfully to professors, instructors, and seniors. This is also to set the rules right within the academy, regardless of your external status, so please follow the principles.”

The students nodded their heads at the expected sound.

This is what you hear at the entrance ceremony or what is written in the admission guide.

everyone agreed.

“But there are exceptions. Please listen carefully from now on.”

Trunen placed the booklet he had brought on the table to call attention to it.

And he looked at me and looked into my eyes.

exception?

Everyone made puzzled faces.

“Although all discrimination is prohibited, Demesis-nim will be given a special seat and a dedicated resting room. This is a policy to limit Demesis-sama’s power, and it is also a device for everyone taking classes together, so please understand.”

As soon as I heard that, everyone glanced in the direction where I was sitting.

Demesis exclusive seat.

It is a space where mana is swaying in real time.

The magic circle was preventing the thick and heavy mana from spreading to the surroundings.

Students nodding their heads.

You can understand it just by seeing it with your own eyes.

The purpose was to protect themselves, but no students complained.

“Also, we will always use honorifics for Demesis. This is also to create a smooth academy atmosphere, so I hope everyone will cooperate.”

Polite word?

Come to think of it, Trunen had been using honorifics until now.

In principle, there is no reason for professors to raise their words to students at all.

“I won’t explain at length why you need to use honorifics. Because it’s convenient. We also had to correct our way of speaking in order to conduct classes in front of Demesis.”

Everyone looked back and forth between me and Trunen.

Trunen, who is afraid of me.

I fully understood and sympathized with what he said.

If you ask me to speak rudely, that’s torture.

The exception to me was quickly disseminated to students.

There was no element of rebellion.

Because I was too scared to raise my hand and ask.

*

“Then let’s start our first class. My class is ‘how to deal with demons and monsters and understanding the field’. The purpose is to develop the ability to cope with dangerous enemies by imagining them.”

In general, the common enemy of the tribes living on the continent is considered to be demons and monsters.

Demons who live in the Devil’s Land and monsters that are coiled all over the continent and threaten the surroundings.

Everyone is taking their toll on their aggression and viciousness.

The first subject to learn at the academy is, of course, the means to respond to them.

“All of you who have gathered here basically have a talent for magical powers and have special abilities to deal with powerful enemies. Only those talents are selected for the special class at the academy, so we won’t go into basic explanations about combat.”

Having said this, Trunen released the magic stones and artifacts he had packed in his bag.

Activates an artifact by using a magic stone filled with magical power.

“I will go into action right away. What you’re going to see now is an illusion, so even if you get hurt inside the illusion, you don’t actually take any damage. So go into battle with confidence. Let’s start training against monsters.”

Along with Trunen’s stern voice, the artifact activated under his hand emitted light and created illusion magic.

Soon the students in the classroom were sucked into the illusion.

A dark and gloomy environment.

A damp forest spread out under a gray sky.

A space full of pressure and tension.

Trunen looked at the students who had entered the hallucination.

“Join your strength and defeat the monsters. Even if you get hurt within the welcome, I take no responsibility. The goal of this class is to survive in the face of an extremely powerful enemy.”

Trunen’s eyes shone dangerously in the dark environment of the Demonic Realm.

This is the first class in the tradition of the Imperial Academy.

It is to put a hopeless opponent in front of students and make them aware of their limitations.

If you taste despair and fear from the first class, you will follow the class and train hard for survival in the future.

In front of them, there was a monster ready to give them a nightmare.

Great grizzly bear.

It is a level 4 monster.

As it was confirmed that the existence of Demesis and the students in this special class of the academy had excellent skills, they summoned an opponent that could be seen in the second half of the second year curriculum.

A monster that appears only in the S-class Demonic World.

Among them, the Great Gray Bear is particularly strong as it is a field boss.

“Ah, of course, Demesis-nim doesn’t have to participate in the battle. Compared to the fame of subduing the Western Demon Lord, a 4th grade monster might be ridiculous.”

Even as Trunen said that, he thought that the Great Grizuli would not be easily defeated by Demesis.

That was common knowledge.

The opponent was a monster that knights and wizards had to run raids in units to hunt.

“professor. By the way, Demesis-nim… I can’t see you?”

One student raised his hand and made a puzzled expression.

The professor was talking to Demesis, but Demesis didn’t show up in the demon scene.

“what?”

Trunen, who had been talking while looking only at the place where Demesis was staying, hurriedly looked around.

Among the students, only Demesis disappeared.

“I don’t think you’re affected by the illusion magic?”

Another student who is sensitive to magical powers said.

Everyone was not even looking at Demesis, so it was too late to notice.

For some reason, after coming to the Magic Realm, I felt a lot more at ease.

Trunen narrowed his brows.

Demesis is not affected by his own magic.
