The first day of school was set for Monday.

Students arrived at the academy with anticipation, their expressions a mix of excitement and uncertainty.

The Royal Magic Academy had been completely renovated, with new marble buildings covering the grounds.

Fresh flags fluttered on the brand-new castle.

The cobblestone paths underfoot were still familiar, just with fewer signs of smoothness and age.

The fountain in the square in front of the academy was dazzling, everything seeming to start anew from a fresh beginning.

Rachel looked at the rebuilt academy, stroking his beard with a chuckle, and entered the principal's office leaning on his cane.

The academy as a whole had been rebuilt almost completely, but one place had been preserved.

That was the deep crater blasted out by Viktor.

A fence had been built around it to prevent students from accidentally falling in.

Originally, such a deep pit wouldn't need this kind of protection, after all, who would approach a big hole for no reason?

But to everyone's surprise, the area around the deep pit was now crowded with students, shoulder to shoulder, all observing the huge crater.

This giant pit had a radius of at least half a kilometer, covering an enormous area.

The bottom of the pit was also terrifyingly deep, about several dozen meters down. Falling in would be no different from falling off a building.

Now the deep pit was no longer just a remnant of a great battle.

It had become a memorial site for the Magic Academy.

A memorial to that demon battle.

A memorial to that mysterious, world-shaking experience.

A group of students crowded at the front, looking at the huge pit with some pride.

They recounted the terrifying scene from that day to the surrounding students, especially the juniors:

"Oh my, you should have seen it, Professor Viktor's magic was truly awe-inspiring."

"Yeah, I saw it that day too, such a huge meteor, tsk tsk tsk."

"And, we even helped Professor Viktor!"

"We worked together to break through the black barrier that covered the sky!"

The more they recalled the past, the more proud they felt.

It was as if witnessing the battle that day had pinned a medal of courage on their chests.

"It seems that this semester, Professor Viktor will become the Chief Professor of the Royal Magic Academy!"

A bespectacled student suddenly shared this rumor he had heard in the crowd.

Those around him immediately focused their attention on him.

"But I just heard it somewhere."

"That's fine, keep talking!"

Seeing the expectant looks of his classmates around him, the boy pushed up his glasses and continued mysteriously:

"It seems that the principal is going to personally confer the position of Chief Professor to Viktor."

"It's for the great contribution Professor Viktor made in that demon battle."

He kept talking, getting more and more excited, not noticing that the classmates around him were gradually leaving.

He suddenly felt confused, and then felt as if a shadow had fallen over him.

A cool voice sounded from behind him.

"What are you talking about? Let me hear too."

This voice... so familiar.

The student turned his head and was startled.

"Pro... Professor Viktor!"

He shouted and then quickly left, chasing after the fleeing students.

Viktor's strength had gained recognition from many people, and naturally, he had also become more intimidating.

Students both admired and feared Viktor.

After the students left, Viktor looked at the deep pit in front of him, expressionless.

Vega, however, was a bit emotional.

"Our Chief Professor is really impressive, every student who sees him is scared."

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Viktor ignored him.

The nomination for Chief Professor had arrived yesterday.

This honor would be personally bestowed by the principal during Viktor's public lecture in a few days.

That's right, Rachel hadn't forgotten about Viktor's public class.

Viktor's public class was just before the end of the semester. After the class, with Viktor's influence, it would definitely attract more new students to enroll.

The youngest third-tier mage had become the youngest fourth-tier mage, and had also defeated demons.

Moreover, he was a member of the Mage Council, as well as the current private tutor of the Imperial Princess.

These titles were too weighty, so much so that they felt unreal.

How could so many titles appear on one person? And each one was extraordinary.

And soon there would be another title, Chief Professor of the Royal Magic Academy.

"Pro... Professor!"

Henie came running to Viktor's side.

Viktor looked down at the panting Henie.

Today was her first day officially taking office, becoming an honorary associate professor at the academy.

Although she was called an associate professor, it was only because her strength wasn't enough.

After all, she was still only a first-tier mage.

In reality, she had replaced the former professor position of Devin Reiser.

"What's the matter?"

For Henie to come find him in such a hurry, there must be something important.

She caught her breath and said:

"At the Arcane Hall, the students are fighting!"

......

The magic arena in the Arcane Hall was the academy's open sparring area.

If students of the Royal Magic Academy had any disputes, they could privately settle them on this magic arena.

Because both parties would agree on the winning conditions, and the magic arena would record it to prevent students from cheating.

However, from the players' perspective, this was the PvP battle area.

At this moment, the arena was filled with swinging vines, with a golden-haired beauty standing motionless in the center, while in front of her were more than a dozen students looking at her seriously.

More and more students were attracted to the scene, each with admiration written all over their faces, staring dazedly at the beautiful blonde noble lady.

"Facing more than a dozen seniors of the same rank alone and not falling behind, is this the strength of last year's freshman champion?"

"As expected of the duke's daughter, go Miss Erica!"

The surrounding students were whistling and cheering.

The entire Arcane Hall was in chaos, with the audience below acting like cheerleaders.

In the midst of the frenzy, suddenly...

"Explain the current situation to me."

A cool voice sounded from behind several students. All of these students ducked their heads, feeling an inexplicable pressure coming towards them.

They slowly turned their heads to look, and suddenly froze.

Holy crap? Professor Viktor?

The bespectacled boy was still standing in front of Viktor, stuttering an explanation:

"Well... Professor Viktor, I just got here..."

"We didn't start anything..."

Viktor looked at him coldly.

"The whole story."

Several students gathered around Viktor, talking over each other as they explained everything to Viktor.

Soon, he understood the cause of this dispute.

Those senior students with more seniority had become very arrogant since arriving at the academy, even maliciously bullying the junior students from last year.

They kept boasting that only students who had participated in that demon battle were brave and strong.

They, who dared to truly face demons, were naturally a level above those lower-grade students who couldn't help at all.

So these people came to the Arcane Hall, openly mocking everyone inside.

And coincidentally, Erica was also here.

She couldn't stand this behavior of bullying students with seniority, after all, she was also a freshman who entered last year.

"Hey! They're fighting!"

Several students turned their heads at the sound, watching the battle between the two sides, constantly exclaiming.

Those dozen or so arrogant students slowly chanted a long string of incantations, constructing many simple magic arrays in the air.

Countless ice cones and small fireballs kept coming towards Erica.

But Erica just moved her fingers slightly, not even constructing a magic array.

Those so-called 'senior' magics were all blocked by the vines commanded by Erica.

Erica waved her hand again, and more than a dozen vines quickly extended, entangling their ankles and lifting them into the air.

With another wave of her hand, they were neatly thrown off the magic arena.

These people were forced to lose face, lying on the ground unable to get up.

Fortunately, no one was hurt.

The students below were suddenly dumbfounded.

Is it... is it that simple?

Easily defeating more than a dozen students single-handedly, is this last year's top genius?

After the academy was destroyed, they had a long vacation.

Many students even forgot to study, clearly falling behind in magic.

But Erica kept getting stronger.

Some students looked at the invincible Erica on the stage and couldn't help but lower their heads, feeling extremely ashamed.

Viktor nodded at the solution of the person on the stage.

Erica's actions suddenly gave him some inspiration.

After Erica had finished everything, the students below finally reacted, bursting into cheers.

But she had no reaction, just reaching a hand behind her head, smoothing her hair, and walking down from the arena gracefully.

But as soon as Erica got off the arena, she looked up and saw someone blocking her way, and was stunned.

"Professor!?"

Erica suddenly became flustered.

That means, all of her performance just now was seen by the professor!?

I hope I didn't embarrass myself.

At this moment, Erica felt a bit guilty, not knowing if what she had just done was the right thing.

Viktor didn't give Erica a second glance, he snapped his fingers.

A magic array instantly formed in the air, and several gentle breezes blew, helping those disheveled students back to their feet.

After doing all this, he looked at these students who didn't even dare to raise their heads.

"It seems that after experiencing some things, you've developed some kind of inflated ideas?"

His tone was very calm, with no discernible emotion, but it left them speechless.

The students present heard Viktor's voice and all fell silent in unison.

The pressure Viktor brought to all students was completely different from other professors.

With Viktor, they could clearly feel a strong sense of authority.

'Teacher.'

This thought arose in their hearts.

Viktor narrowed his eyes and slowly climbed onto the arena under everyone's gaze.

"It's just before the end of the semester, I think, as the Chief Professor, I have an obligation to give you students a little test."

Hearing Viktor's proposal, the students curiously raised their heads.

A test from the Chief Professor?

Before they could react further, suddenly, the magic concentration in the Arcane Hall surged dramatically.

In an instant, chaotic magical auras filled everyone's surroundings.

"This... such dense magical power!"

Viktor stood on the arena, with the black crow perched on his shoulder, his coat fluttering in the chaotic sea, flashing with intertwining red and green patterns.

A dual-colored aura suddenly burst from his body, swirling in the air.

His cold gaze, contemptuous of everything, seemed to imprint two words.

'Invincible'

"You can go notify all the students in school, everyone can participate."

Viktor said coolly with his hands in his pockets:

"I'll give each of you three minutes."

"I won't attack actively, all of you can challenge me. Whether it's team cooperation or one-on-one."

"As long as someone can make me move one step from this spot."

The arrogant aura seemed to turn into sparks filling the sky, burning into a brilliant canvas in the heavens.

Under the curtain of that sea of fire, his voice rang out coldly.

"Just one step."

"For the final exam, I'll let you all."

"Pass unanimously."
