Year 18123, Dark Forest Academy.
In the ground floor of the academy an apprentice wearing gray robe walking across the corridor. He suddenly stops in front of the room with numbered 420.
He then takes a key with the same number on it from his robe and unlocks the door then goes inside. After closing the door he takes off his hood covering his face revealing an immature but ordinary face. He is about 15 years old but unusually bulky and with calluses on his hands.
“Finally back to the room”.
The boy in the apprentice robe is Rabin Oswald. This is his first day as an apprentice in dark forest wizard academy. He is the second son of Oswald family, a declining noble family.
His father wanted his elder brother to inherit the family because he was tested to have wizard talent, even though it is of low level one.
In this world having talent for wizard is pretty rare even if it is a low level talent. Wizard talent is divided into five levels where fifth class being the lowest and first class being the highest.
He has fourth class qualification and his chances of becoming an official wizard if about 20%. For fifth class it is 10%, third class 40%, second class 80% and for first class qualification as long as nothing unexpected happens they can become official wizards.
In his entire batch there is no student with first class qualification and only one person with second class qualification. That person is prince of the kingdom he belong to, he was accepted as a student by the wizard Henry who conducted talent test on the spot.
Well, this has nothing to do with him, if he fail to become third class apprentice before 40, then he will be expelled from the academy and become a loose wizard with no resources for continuing the wizard path and finally die of old age.
While thinking of his situation he let out a helpless sigh, then after finishing his work took out bunch of notes from his table and stated reading and summarizing the notes he took from the morning free lecture. The academy provide free lectures for the basic courses but advanced courses are to be paid with magic stones.
After that he took out new note and started writing what he understood and questions and doubts. This is a technique he used when he was a college student on earth while preparing for semester exams.

Yes. This not his first life, in his previous life he was undergraduate in aerospace engineering , due to scarcity of job in the filed he majored in he had no choice but to become programmer in a startup company for modest sum. When he was exercising on gym he died of heart attack at the age of 24. Pity he not even got enjoy his first month salary.
After finishing the work he stared at the blue screen only he could see with his fully three dimensional body on it.

This is his cheat that passed through with him, it was health monitor app that was he used him. Somehow it passed through with him and he don’t know how this happened but he was able to control it to some degree and found out he could change the way it showed information and the result of his tinkering is the blue screen now he is looking.
With it he can monitor his body in real time, he became knight at the age of 15, even though he is only been practicing family’s ancestral breathing method 3 years. Even though he cannot practice breathing method before age of 12 he have been in contact with those who practice breathing method since he was a child, then after years of observation and with the help of the health monitor which he conveniently named as Ace, he was able to optimize the breathing method that is suitable to his physique by how it affects his body. Only then he was able to become knight in just three years after started training.
In this world knights are considered pseudo extraordinary profession. Why pseudo? You ask, well only first order and above creatures are known as true extraordinary creatures. Wizards (level 1 and above) in a way also considered extraordinary creatures.
Even though knights were considered superhuman among the mortal creatures they still nowhere near the top of the food chain, a low level demonized beast can take on a knight effortlessly. To kill a low level demonized beast at least 3 to 5 knights with full armor is needed. And first level apprentice spell is stronger than both of them. But that doesn’t mean knights are weak if it is in sneak attack knight can theoretically kill an apprentice even though that is pretty rare but there are instances in which low level apprentice killed by group of knights in a siege. But no apprentice would be stupid enough to allow a knight to get that close.
So the power ranking being knight < demonized beast < wizard apprentice. Above knight there is great knight, whose strength rivals stronger than first class apprentice and equal to weak second class apprentice.
While thinking this he took out notebook from the table with title “Oswald book of knight”. And started reading it, this book contains his understanding about the knight profession that he summed up from childhood to now and he plans on further adding content later he breaks through great knight. He loves taking notes and writing his understanding of things in books before he was in middle school in earth, all people relied on his notes for revision during exam, even though his handwriting sucks.
