95. Academy (8)
95. Academy (8)
Charlotta thrust her rapier at me diligently, but I blocked everything with my hand.
Honestly, even if I hadn't used my hands and just stood still, I wouldn't have taken any damage.
But I thought if I did that, I wouldn't be able to get into the same Class A as Prodisia, so I moved a little.
A problem arose while the sparring match was underway.
It's not a problem that Charlotta is attacking me with all her might.
The issue is that since she's attacking seriously, she naturally started to sweat.
The moment that scent of sweat rode the air and entered my nose, an impulse to eat the Charlotta right in front of me welled up.
It seems the impulse has grown stronger as both my body and mind are turning into the Queen.
If I kept going like this, I felt like I would chew off Charlotta's head in front of all these humans.
'I need to end this right now.'
I tensed my body and went in front of Charlotta.
"Ugh!?"
Charlotta, visible right before my eyes.
The pink hair peeking through her blue-sky-colored hair suits her very well.
Considering her age, she's only in her early 20s, but she has a neat uniform, and a trained body visible even while wearing it.
And a quite cute face.
The only downside is that her breasts aren't big?
'No. Come to think of it, the breasts I've seen so far are the weird ones.'
My own breasts, Amber, Yui, Prodisia, and so on.
I've seen so many breasts that are almost impossible to see on Earth, so my standards have become too high.
Actually, Charlotta's are quite decent. Of course, I haven't seen them bare, but they suit the slightly slim Charlotta.
'Enough thinking about breasts.'
I grabbed the face of Charlotta, who was trying to distance herself from me.
At that moment, the thought of wanting to eat Charlotta's head with my hand flashed through my mind, but I calmly made her fall without eating her head.
Thump.
I didn't throw her down hard, just made her fall, so Charlotta just landed on her butt.
However, Charlotta's face was one of shock.
==
"That's an absurd level of skill."
"To think that Charlotta would lose. Of course, I don't know if she went all out, but even if it was just a sparring match, if she has the skill to make Charlotta lose, she's a student to look forward to."
"A healer with that much combat power. I've never seen a healer like that."
The professors had a lot on their minds after watching the fight between Lea and Charlotta.
It's no exaggeration to say that Charlotta is currently the strongest in this academy.
Charlotta, who is evaluated as having the potential to possess power rivaling a Hero if she grows, lost.
"If it were a healer like that, I could entrust my back to them without worry, right?"
"At that level, it's not just entrusting your back; the healer would be holding a staff and killing the monsters in front."
"Pwahahaha! It's funny because that could actually happen."
"That kid. She's going to be quite popular."
With the sparring match between Lea and Charlotta, the temporary class assignment exam ended.
==
It's funny that I, over thirty years old, am excited to be going back to school, but there wouldn't be a man who wouldn't be excited about this.
Opening my eyes to a new world, and an academy in a fantasy world with swords and magic?
There's no way it wouldn't be fun.
Naturally, countless incidents and accidents will occur.
It's an academy that already had a Black Mage's terror attack during the class assignment exam.
Probably countless things will happen while I attend.
I don't intend to keep attending the academy.
I'm thinking of attending for about half a year.
It wouldn't matter if I kept attending, but there are still many things I want to do.
I want to visit the Holy Kingdom, I want to visit the Elf Village, and I want to visit the country where countless races are said to live.
Naturally, I was assigned to Class A along with Prodisia for the class assignment exam.
As I followed the assistant instructor to my assigned class, I looked at the students walking with me.
'Ha... I can't believe not being able to use the Status Window is this inconvenient.'
It hasn't been long since I got the Status Window, but not being able to see it in that short time was really frustrating.
I touched the place where Viviant's lost eye used to be and sighed.
"Are you okay?"
Prodisia, who has now gotten used to speaking informally to me.
However, even though it's informal, it's tinged with quite a bit of politeness.
"Yeah. I'm fine."
"If you're uncomfortable or want anything, tell me."
The students walking around us who were also assigned to Class A started to stare at the conversation between me and Prodisia.
Perhaps more attention is focused on us because it looks like I'm close with an Elf.
However, the men's gazes were a little different.
Prodisia is just walking normally, but those massive breasts show an absurd movement just from walking.
Honestly, if she weren't an Elf but a normal human, everything from her shoulders to her neck would have already been ruined, unable to withstand the weight of her breasts.
I have large breasts too, but Prodisia's are just a crazy size.
It makes me wonder, "Is daily life even possible with that size?"
After walking for about 10 minutes, we arrived at Class A. No, the Class A building.
Surprisingly, it seems the buildings are divided by grade.
It's not a huge building, just about 3 stories tall.
Class A, B, C, D.
These are the grades that exist in the academy. The buildings are lined up by grade, and anyone could see that the higher the grade, the bigger and cooler the building looked.
If this were Korea, parents would have immediately filed tons of complaints asking, "Why are you discriminating against our children!", but this is a fantasy world.
A fantasy world where most things are determined by power and rank.
We entered the Class A building and went into a classroom on the first floor that we would normally use.
The classroom was just ordinary.
Seats weren't specifically assigned, so I sat at the very front with Prodisia.
Sitting in the front is a bit burdensome, but I was so curious about what kind of classes they would have at the academy.
The professor who would be in charge of our class walked in.
Surprisingly, it was a woman.
As I recall, when the faculty was introduced at the entrance ceremony, out of over 20 professors, only 3 were women, and one of those 3 was in charge of our class.
Honestly, I thought even those 3 would be research professors, not combat-related.
Mana, Holy Power, Unique Ability.
There are 3 types of power excluding physical ability, so it seems like there wouldn't be a distinction between men and women, but there is.
I don't know if it's because of basic physique, mentality, or various other reasons, but like on Earth, it's one-sided that men are stronger.
Looking at the current Class A students, excluding me and Prodisia, there are 3 female students.
The remaining 20 are male.
Looking at it this way, men seem overwhelming, but there is something where men aren't overwhelming.
It's Holy Power.
Whether the Goddess is a lesbian or not, she distributes more Holy Power to women than men.
That's why, at least for healers, there are more women than men.

"..."
"...Ah."
"..ea."
".Lea."
Gasp.
I jumped up at the sound of someone calling me.
"It's lunchtime."
"Huh...?"
Prodisia was looking at me with an awkward expression.
Looking around, the kids in the same class were getting up from their seats and going outside. Maybe because I was at the very front, everyone passed by me and looked at me as if I were pathetic.
I clearly remember listening to the professor's words with interest until the beginning, but when I came to my senses, it had become lunchtime.
Is there a student who just slept through the entire morning class on the first day?
I would have looked at such a student as pathetic too.
The academy's lunch break is a whopping 3 hours.
From 11 o'clock to 2 o'clock.
Furthermore, the afternoon classes after 2 o'clock are not mandatory classes.
If you really set your mind to it, you only have to attend 3 hours of class a day.
However, it's not a place where you can just enter the academy, waste time, and graduate.
After the morning class ended, I decided to act separately from Prodisia.
Prodisia went to investigate the academy's chairman, and I went outside the academy.
Fortunately, it was an academy where going out and coming back was free. Since the Combat Department encourages adventurer activities in the first place, it's natural that it's free.
"My Queen."
As soon as I arrived at the place where we agreed to meet, Amber was waiting for me.
"Did you bring it well?"
"Yes. Here it is."
Amber hands me a box the size of one hand.
I opened the box as soon as I received it.
Unlike my red eyes, a blue pupil was lying intact inside the box.
I immediately inserted that eye into my left eye.
I blinked a few times and synced with Viviant's left eye.
"Erina said that with her current power, it is impossible to heal the missing eye to recreate it. If you need it again, it seems the Queen will have to heal it yourself."
"I understand. Thank you for coming all this way."
"Not at all. I will head back now."
With those words, Amber disappeared into the darkness.
I confirmed that the Status Window appeared in front of my eyes again.
'Then does that mean both of Viviant's eyes are gone now?'
Actually, it doesn't matter if it's Viviant's eye or whatever anymore.
In the past, it would have been difficult for me to heal and recreate a lost body part too.
But now it's different.
My body is now overflowing with Mana and Holy Power.
A meal after half a year.
And because I had a very high-quality meal, my body's condition is getting better by the day.
Now, I have enough power in my body that there's no burden in reviving a human who hasn't been dead for long.
Creating a missing eye is nothing.
The moment I tried to move my body to return to the academy.
Humans wearing masks started to approach slowly.
Mana felt in the surroundings.
It seems they isolated this area with magic.
"We have no grudge. We just came to warn you not to act up too much at the academy."
The masked humans started to approach me, holding weapons.
Humans approaching while thinking of attacking me.
But I approached them while thinking of eating them.
