A week has passed.
There hadn't been any major changes in the students' lives since the practical exam.
Rather, the atmosphere had relaxed a bit. The students didn't seem to be too concerned about the midterm exam, no matter how much the instructors tried to scare them.
The experience of killing prisoners during the practical training had somewhat washed away the students' fear of humans.
Whether this change would have a positive or negative effect.
No one knew.
'There's nothing uglier than being arrogant when you lack the skills.'
Mutter-.
I muttered as I levitated pebbles above my hand.
My telekinesis proficiency, which had been at a pathetic level, had improved considerably.
At first, I could only lift two.
But now, I could lift as many as five.
'I still can't lift heavy objects, though…….'
Even so, it seemed that I would soon be able to lift a dagger.
I was in a good mood because my growth rate wasn't bad.
And there was another piece of news that made me happy.
- I heard that there won't be any theory in the magic class today?
Does that mean we'll be learning real magic?
The students' conversation.
I was interested in the story that they would start magic classes in earnest from today.
The moment I had been hoping and praying for.
Of course.
Even if I learn magic, I won't be able to use powerful magic like Samuel.
Perhaps I will never be able to use it.
'My talent in this body was originally in assassination, after all.'
I won't be able to master the magic that Samuel uses.
Even so, it was certain that I would become stronger than I am now.
With the midterm exam approaching.
If I can become stronger, I shouldn't be picky about the means.
It's also true that I'm attracted to the fantasy element of magic.
……But then again.
"Class will start soon."
"Huh? There's still some time left!"
"……"
I narrowed my eyes as I looked at Luna, who wouldn't leave my side.
Luna has been strange lately.
Originally, she would tremble in fear whenever our eyes met.
Now, she just gives me a sullen look if I don't look at her.
I scratched my head in frustration.
'Is she at the age where she's starting to get interested in the opposite sex?'
I know the feelings that Luna has.
After all, I also went through puberty.
I must have done something nice for her to like me.
For Luna, a half-breed, contempt and ridicule must have been commonplace.
Even a small favor would have made her feel very grateful.
I hope she doesn’t get confused.
‘It’s just a fleeting emotion, so there’s no need to worry about it.’
Emotions subside after a while.
That’s just how it is in school.
With a thought that reeked of an old man, I gently pushed Luna’s shoulder.
“Please go.”
“I understand……”
Luna obeyed me, even though she looked displeased.
Then what’s left?
Just a noble lady who looks at me with annoyance.
“Why are you acting like that again, Ms. Fron?”
“I can’t help but stare at you every time I see you because you look so sinister.”
A vein popped out on my forehead.
Is she just itching for a fight since she hasn’t caused any trouble since morning?
Not long after that, Fron returned to her seat.
How bland.
After the troublemakers left.
I was once again engrossed in practicing telekinesis.
Ding-dong.
The bell rang, signaling the start of class.
How come it’s going so smoothly?
It seemed that Fron had guessed that class was about to start.
Creak-.
The front door of the classroom opened, and the magic teacher, Robolt, entered.
I stood up to greet him.
“All students, bow to the teacher.”
I checked that Professor Robolt nodded and sat down.
Then I looked up at Robolt with an expectant expression.
He looked different today.
It felt like he was emanating an aura that I hadn’t felt before.
Thud, thud.
Robolt pounded on the blackboard.
It was a sight I had never seen from him, who usually spoke in a friendly manner.
“Today, I will teach you magic that you can use in real situations.”
It was just as I had expected.
Robolt used chalk to write two words on the blackboard.
‘Stealth’ and ‘Silence.’
The moment I read those words, my eyes flashed.
‘He’s teaching Adel’s specialty.’
