The next day, when Leon woke up he felt the stiffness in his muscles and they were in pain. But before he got the opportunity to get the chance to worry about such trivial things, he'd noticed that his eyes felt weird and heavy...

They were twitching uncontrollably.

'Uhhh, my body is in a lot of pain, and my eyes feels heavy.... maybe it has a lot to do with yesterday.'

Leon pondered those thoughts to himself, while he tried to get himself out of bed.

'.... Everything was in slow motion during the fight against the horde of monsters... what was that? I've never felt something like that before. Are my eyes okay...? Or am I awakening my special ability?!' (Leon)

Leon couldn't get the feeling that something was off about the feeling he felt in the VR world, whilst he was fighting the monsters.

Leon let out a heavy sigh and began to painfully get himself out of bed.

His roommate Liam was still laying down and sleeping peacefully. When Leon gazed through the window he noticed that it was still dark outside.

".... Liam is still sleeping peacefully, huh?" Leon mumbled under his breath.

'So I woke up earlier than Liam. Well, that's a rare occurrence for me!' (Leon)

It was a rare occurrence for Leon to wake up earlier than his roommate Liam, a once in a lifetime opportunity for Leon to wake up earlier than his roommate.

Usually Liam would be the first person who was up earlier. He would be the one that waited for Leon to wake up, not the other way around.

Leon was totally confused about the happenings in his life at that point in time.

Leon stumbled to the bathroom in pain and had his bath and got ready for school. When he exited the bathroom and entered the room, he saw his roommate sitting on his bed, deep in his thoughts.

"Uhh, you're up already?" Leon asked his roommate who was deep in thoughts.

"Ah, yeah I just woke up. I'll go prepare myself for school right now..." Liam answered his roommate and got up, and made his way to the bathroom.

"Alright, I'll be waiting then. Just take your time."

Leon sat down on a small sofa and began to put on his shoes. Afterwards they left and began making their way to the first year building.

But first, before they continued walking they stopped at the Cafeteria to grab something to eat, and after they continued their journey to the first year area.

'Uhh, my entire body is in pain.... Yesterday's training was stressful and got my body messed up.... I don't think I could ever do anything like that again.' (Leon)

Leon was thinking of those things while he was walking along with his roommate Liam. On their way, they ran into Samuel and his friend Keith.

'.... Samuel seems more worse than Leon.... What really happened yesterday?' (Liam)

"Hey Samuel, Keith. What's up? Good morning! Is Samuel doing alright?" Liam asked Keith and Samuel.

"Oh, morning... Everything is alright. It's just that Samuel isn't doing well."

"Uhh."

In the Class 1-F classroom, almost everyone is in class, and they were not doing well.

Everyone was in pain and their muscles were stiff. Emma and Alexis had their heads on their tables.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

Meanwhile, Scott and Alice didn't made it to class yet.

"Ugh, everywhere in my body but..."

"I can't feel my legs nor my hands!"

And while the others who were in the Red team either they were in class or they didn't make it to school as yet And the ones that was in class had their heads on their desks.

'Oww, why did we agreed to go there in the first place...?'

Everyone thought that in unison. After a while, everyone had made it to class and they sat down in their seats, talking amounce themselves.

"Yesterday was kinda tough, right?!"

"Yeah, I know what you mean. It must have been even harder for the Blue team."

"I know that.... Plus we didn't even run into any one of them.... That's weird, wasn't it?"

Two children who were in the Red team was talking about the events that transpired yesterday.

"The Blue team was missing the whole round! I honestly thought that they've given up..." Another student who was in the Red team chimed in.

"Maybe we should ask someone from the Red team what happened to them...."

"How about Scott? He might tell us what happened to them, if we do it correctly." Someone suggested.

His name is Vincent Miller, a talented swordsman who grew up in the same province and town as Scott. He is around the same age as most of the students who enrolled in the Military Academy this year.

He has short well kept black hair, with ruby red eyes, and he has pale white skin that matches well with his red eyes and black hair. His uniform looked neat and tidy.

Vincent is from a lower ranking Noble family, who ruled a small domain. His father was a famous Adventurer who's fame made him rise to the ranks of noblity, more specifically to the title of "Earl".

Vincent's sword skill is said to best most of the other children of his age.

"Tsk.... Nah, I don't think he would tell us that easily...." Vincent mumbled to himself.

"Huh... What did you just said?"

"Can you please repeat yourself?"

The other two were at a last of words hearing what Vincent had said.

"Nothing."

"Huh?!"

At that time, both Leon and Samuel entered the classroom assisted by their roommates and friends. They also entered the classroom and led them to their seats.

"Thanks, Liam. I really appreciate the help." Leon thanked his roommate Liam.

"Uhh.... Yeah."

Liam was acting uncomfortable with the awkward situation he thinks he found himself in.

Samuel also thanked his best friend for taking him to Class. Keith just responded with something generic, just like the protagonists of the shonen anime.

'Wow, that's kinda generic....' (Leon)

And so both of them left the Class 1-F classroom and made their way back to their own classes.

After that, Leon found himself looking around the classroom at the people who were in his team. The first person that he saw was Alice, and she was just sitting in her seat in pain.

Scott also was sitting in his seat. He was just talking with his friends like normal, as if nothing had happened to him.

And Emma and Alexis had their heads on their desks resting.

'Everyone must have been in so much pain.... I can't imagine how bad it has been for them.'

'But I think I'm I am going through much more than what they're going through. But enough of me complaining.' (Leon)

While Leon was deep in his thoughts, the door of the classroom burst open and miss Ava along with a strange man wearing a black robe over his military uniform walked in the classroom.

They stood there in front of the entire class, with the man who entered behind her had a serious expression.

"Good morning, students. I can see that you all are here today!" Ava greeted the Class, "although you guys don't seem to be in a good shape... Nevertheless, today is a good day for you guys!"

"As you all can see, we have a guest. And he will be teaching you guys about 'the study of Magical Arts' and other stuff about magic."

All of the students were confused about what was going on with their homeroom teacher Miss Ava. In the students perspective, they thought that Ava would be teaching them in all other subjects.

"B, but we thought that you would be the one who would be teaching us about everything!" One of the students raised her hands and asked that question.

"Yeah, that's unfair! We want you to teach us!" Another student chimed in the conversation.

Everyone else began to ask the same question in agreement with their fellow students.

Seeing that the students were not behaving themselves, the man let out a sigh of annoyance and glanced at Ava, as if saying "control your students, Ava."

"Enough of that, children. Please calm yourselves down and just listen. I'm not qualified to teach you magic or how to control your magic, that's why I asked my friend here to assist me with you guys. Besides, you guys will learn more from him than me!" Ava explained her predicament to the students.

"Oh, so that's why you handed us over to him?"

"I get it now..."

Now the students were all calmed down and were paying attention to the strange man.

"Why are they staring at me? Did I do something wrong?" He whispered to Ava.

Miss Ava chuckled and started to respond to his question.

"No, not particularly. Well, they wants to know more about you. That's why they are looking at you like that..."

"Oh~"

'Alright, let me try to introduce myself in the nicest way possible...'

The man took a deep breath before he introduced himself. Everyone in the classroom was looking at the man with anticipation .

"Uhh, g, good morning, students. It's an honor meeting you guys. I'm Bradley Maxwell, your magic instructor, nice to meet you all." The man introduced himself to the entire class.
