NOVEL NEXT Chapter 18: First day
"Congratulations! All of you have successfully passed the assignment test! Next, we will assign each of you to your respective classes!" The academy director had a wide smile on his face as he looked at the students lined up, each with serious expressions, their chests puffed with pride and arrogance...
I was among the first rows of students, briefly glancing at the emblem on my right chest... This emblem on my uniform signifies that I am officially a student of the academy.
The class assignments were already determined on the day of the test, which is why the rows of 10 people each were already classified. The first two rows of 10 students mean they are in the first class... I was in the second row at the back... and right next to me was Leslie, and in front of her was Evelyn.
Seeing that she hadn't asked me anything about what happened that day, I suppose she was actually dozing off... It's better this way... I don't want her to ask me in front of Leslie why I was touching her lasciviously... watching her dozing off while standing, not paying attention to the director's instructions...
Five people appeared from behind a door... We were all in one of the academy's campuses; the main facilities were much further ahead, with large white buildings in the Baroque style, with posts around the infrastructure, making them appear even taller from our position...
In front of the first two rows, with a cold, icy gaze and an indifferent expression, her hands on her hips... the woman had beautiful silver hair cascading down her back, bright platinum eyes with square-shaped glasses, and she was wearing a white lab coat over a cherry-colored dress... The woman standing before us was the first class professor, Emilia Rose White...
Right before my eyes were three sealed seraphim...
Sealed... In the game, near the end of the arc during the war of the two worlds, the seraphim fully awakened thanks to the protagonist... As far as I understand, the three people in front of me are not human; they are truly angels in a sealed state... Their true form is an immense eye with eight wings around it... To think that Leslie actually has that form...
and what I see now is nothing but a disguise... terrifying, and even more frightening when I see the sweet smile on her lips as she looks me in the eyes...
Feeling a shiver run down my spine... they're real monsters!! Shaking my head internally...
"Follow me!" The professor's cold words snapped me out of my thoughts...
*****
Inside the academy's facilities, the marble floors with golden chandeliers on the ceiling... large stained glass windows in a church-like style with different colors... None of the students spoke, everyone remained silent, following the professor, but in reality, we all knew what was happening... the men's eyes were fixed on the professor's large backside...
while the girls' gazes towards the men were as if they were looking at the biggest trash in the world...
My eyes were curious as I looked at some of the relevant people... In the first class, there are only three seraphim, in the second year, the second class has two seraphim, and in the third year, the last two are found. The protagonist's objective, according to the orders from his system, was quite complicated; his mission was to prevent the seraphim from awakening.
In various events, he had to somehow prevent one of the future bad "Apocalypses." If one of the seraphim awakens, all the others do as well—it's like a contagious chain reaction. The early awakening of the seraphim causes the apocalypse because the hosts cannot control the energy within them...
And the first event... happens exactly in 3 days... and the first of them is... looking at the young woman with black hair and violet eyes... I sighed, Leslie Violet Rose, the fourth of them...
I know what I have to do, well, what David had to do... but I don't know how much the story will change...
"The academy's facilities are of great importance to all of us; there are years of history engraved in the walls and classrooms. It is vital that you, who now belong to the academy, take care of it as if it were your second home," the professor said with a cold gaze towards the male students with slight disdain... "Surely she enjoys playing the offended one," I thought to myself...
She stood in front of a large door, marked with the number 1 in large diamond-encrusted letters.
[Class 1: Hope]
The professor placed her hands on the door... the doors slowly opened...
"Welcome to the best class in the academy," the professor was the first to enter, followed by the women, and lastly the men... Looking at the interior of the classroom, the walls were made of light gray marble, the floor appeared like clear crystals that emitted small lights of multiple colors. The arrangement of the seats was like steps, with only four horizontal rows and 5 seats in each...
"Choose your seats," the professor's cold voice came from in front of us, and she closed her eyes, waiting patiently...
"Where are you going to sit?" Leslie quickly took advantage of the situation... The reason she didn't pounce on me was thanks to the professor; whenever she saw us together, her cheeks would turn red, and she would lose the indifferent look she had... Of course, this wasn't enough to stop Leslie, but she threatened to take away our contribution points...
"At the back, next to the window, the last row," choosing that seat established for transmigrators and extras like me as the perfect spot... I climbed the small steps of the classroom... heading towards the seat I had in mind...
"..."
There, with her head on the desk, was a woman with fiery red hair, her eyes closed, sleeping peacefully... With no other options, I looked around; only two seats were available... without further ado, I sat next to Evelyn... and on my other side was Leslie...
Feeling a piercing gaze on me... my eyes met Emilia's... she quickly closed her eyes... the murmurs in the class disappeared...
"Let's begin with the first lesson," the professor nodded, "The seats you have chosen will be permanent from now on," saying those words... she took out a stone... "I will now tell you the academy's rules."
