Chapter 12: First Class / Library
After everyone's talent was recorded, the teachers gave the students their identification tokens.
They also explained some rules, like killing, fighting, thievery, or other malicious deeds were prohibited inside the Academy. If there's something that can't be solved without fighting, then you are allowed to challenge each other inside the Academy Arena.
The rules were so strict that even the noble titles were useless. Besides the Academy will punish those who dare to break the rules.
The good thing was that students were allowed to skip classes as many liked to practice in seclusion, but everyone was required to complete missions assigned by the Academy every month.
These missions give points, which can be exchanged for money, art books, skills, or other things inside the Academy.
A young teacher gave the students a tour around the Academy.
The Royal Academy was very large and because today was the first day, students only needed to register themselves inside the main building to know their assigned dorms.
They can also check their classes scheduled in the main building.
After sightseeing around the Academy for some time, all the students left to register themselves in the main building.
The main building was very crowded with students of different years.
Kyle passed through the huge crowd and saw a big board not so far from him which showed him the class schedule. Also, there was a big receptionist desk beside the board. Sitting inside the reception was a young man, who was giving dorm keys to the new first-year students.
After getting the keys from the receptionist, all the students went to their assigned dorms to rest. Almost everyone was tired due to the last three days being too hectic.
Kyle also took a key from the receptionist and went to his dorm. The dorm room was small with a single bed in the middle, a cupboard, and a small desk in a corner.
He sat on the bed for a while but was too excited to sleep. That's why instead of resting he left the dorm and went toward the Academy Library.
The library had 4 floors, in which the first floor contained basic information about the world. The second to fourth floors contain different Rank arts and skills, which can be learned through hard work. But to enter any floor except the first floor points were needed.
However, Kyle was not here for skills or arts. He wanted to know about the 'Celestial bloodline' showing in his stats. That's why the first floor which contained information about the world was enough for him.
In the end, even if he wanted to enter other floors, he was unable to because right now he lacks points, which can only be obtained by completing missions.
Kyle entered the library, not a single soul was present on the first floor. Occasionally some students would enter the library, but they all would go to the upper floors instead of staying on the first floor.
After ignoring the suspicious stare he was getting from the librarian Kyle began looking for books related to Bloodlines.
Even After looking around for quite some time, he didn't find any book that contained information about humans having bloodlines. But he didn't give up and started collecting books related to the monster's bloodlines.
After Collecting more than twenty books, Kyle sat on the cold floor behind a bookshelf so the librarian wouldn't be able to see him. He was so engrossed in reading that he didn't even notice the long night slipping away.
Next day early morning,
Currently, it was 8:00 AM, and the classroom of the new first-year students was already filled to the brim. Because no one wanted to be late for their first class.
The classroom was sparkling and spotless with many benches and chairs present on one side for the students. Among the sitting students, the most eye-catching was a group of 4 students sitting in the last row.
From time to time many girls and boys would try to peek at the 4 individuals and blush.
These four were none other than Alec, Carcel, Lara, and Mia. Today when Alec and Carcel were entering the classroom, Lara spotted them and suggested sitting together, and to her surprise they agreed. And because Mia didn't know anyone except Lara in the class, she also sat with them.
After a while, the instructor entered the classroom and stood behind the podium. She scanned the whole class before speaking calmly,
"Today is your first day, so there won't be anything special. But I hope no one slacks off during my class."
The instructor's eyes briefly passed on Alec, Lara, and a few others, because she heard about them from the Vice Principal. She put her hand on the podium while looking at the students.
"Now, let's start with attendance and self-introductions. I am Aliza Park, your instructor for this year"
All the Students looked at the instructor, they all knew who she was.
'Aliza Park' is one of the famous Rankers from the last generation. Currently, she is the youngest (S+)-Rank in the whole kingdom while only being 36 years old.
Aliza was beautiful with long black hair and a beautiful figure but she was known for being cold and ruthless.
She removed her hands from the podium and picked up the Attendance sheet present on top of the podium.
"As it is your first day, I won't take too much of your time. I know you all would be exhausted due to not having enough sleep the last three days. So I will make this first lesson short."
"Alright, Let's first take attendance"
Looking through the attendance sheet Aliza quickly started calling out names.
"Lily"
After hearing her name being called the student enthusiastically raised her hand and said in a loud voice,
"Present"
Aliza looked at the student and nodded before she continued.
