Chapter 56 Rank 2 VS Rank 3
"Keep your damn posture straight when you're about to strike!"
"Yes Sir!"
"And you!Mage! Stop throwing spells randomly and try to fucking aim!"
"Yes!"
The instructor sure was having fun.
He was criticizing every student's movements and nitpicking every wrong thing about them.
And he was damn right.
Even though most of them had been trained since childhood, they were not perfect.
They did not have a high-tier technique art that allowed for no excess movement at all. Even though they were the children of powerful families, Even their powerful families could not
Even the way they circulated their mana had flaws.
And Our instructor was busy nitpicking everything wrong.
Although he was being helpful, His tone made it seem that he was just angry.
And now, many students, especially the ones who looked forward to seeing him screaming at other students.
"And what are you two doing?"
He had paused after seeing three individuals happily conversing with each other. Although only two were conversing while one was just sitting quietly with her eyes closed.
These three were Serena Soubuelle, Elaine Parker, and Sabrina Wellington.
"We are healers, sir."
Answered Elaine with an annoyed expression after she was interrupted from their talk, She Expected the instructor to back away But was surprised by his next words.
"Do you think I fucking care?!"
She was shocked, He had screamed right in her face and his spit had landed on her face.
"I don't give a fuck if your healers! If you're not doing any training then at least for fucks sake do your mana training technique like her!"
He said with an angry voice while pointing at the only quiet one in the trio.
"I understand Sir."
This time the one who answered Was Serena.
Elaine was busy looking at Sabrina With a shocked gaze As if she couldn't believe this woman could do mana training in this type of environment.
If one wanted to train themselves using mana, They must be in a quiet environment so that they could completely focus!
Yet! Sabrina was doing that while engaging in their conversation from time to time.
Once the instructor left, Elaine pointed her middle finger at him but was quickly stopped by Serena Before she could continue it longer.
"Uh, Fine, By the way, Which elective will you be joining?"
She didn't want to train at all, She was a healer, All she needed to do was learn immediate first aid and a couple of healing skills and she was set.
"I'll also join the healing Elective, All though my mind may change in the three months before we can decide."
"Please join the healing elective! I don't want to be all alone there!"
"Maybe, It depends on a certain someone."
After Serena had said that, She looked at a certain someone with orange hair.
One that instead of training, was goofing off with someone with ash gray hair.
And as a result of this, Both of them were scolded by the Instructor.
Elaine looked towards where Serena Was looking and sighed.
"How did you fall for him anyway?"
"It's a long story."
"Uhh, Not going to tell huh.*Sigh* When am I going to find the one for me?"
Said Elaine while looking towards the roof of the building with a bored expression.
"There are many In our class and entire school you know, Take our class, It has the strongest first year, Multiple boys from influential families, The grandson of the current leader of Behemoth, Heir to the Hiddleston Fam-"
"You do not want to get involved with that...creep."
Interrupting Serena was Sabrina who said that sentence with a stoic face.
"Oh, so you were listening to our conversation."
"Somewhat."
"Don't worry about it, I don't want to get involved with a training freak like Lucas, Who already has his eyes on another woman. If I want someone I want them to pay their full attention to me!"
"So you just want attention?"
"Absolutely yes! What girl would want a freak who only trains?"
"What about everybody else?"
"Everybody else? The first rank didn't even spare a glance at my beauty when we first met, Elijah is dense and already has someone out for him, Henry is a damn pervert sometimes, Lucas...well you already know him."
She ended her sentence early after noticing Sabrina's Icy yet hateful gaze when she mentioned Lucas.
It was as if she loathed his existence.
"Oh?"
Just as she was about to talk again, She was stopped after Serena's Ohn.
Looking over where she was looking, She found the instructor with Lucas.
"What the hell are you doing?! Why are you wasting stamina by dodging hits?!
You Can take them!"
"...Yes!"
Replied Lucas who was busy dodging and blocking the attacks from three metallic dolls with a shield.
He was a Tank, This was the best training for him.
"And this isn't pushing you enough!"
As the instructor said that, he took out a tablet from his suit and tapped on it a few times.
The moment he was done, The speed and power of the dolls increased and Lucas cried inwardly.
The instructor after seeing this Finally left and walked over to a certain individual who had white hair that was practicing with his spear.
Every other student stopped what they were doing and focused on them.
"Heh, I wanna see that arrogant prick get scolded."
Said Elaine after seeing what was happening. Serena And Sabrina also paid attention to the instructor.
The moment he reached Alan, There was complete silence while the instructor was watching said person's movements.
Every student present, Even Sabrina herself had opened her eyes and ears to see and hear whatever would come out of the instructor's mouth when he looked at Alan Practicing the spear.
There was silence, and eventually, the instructor's voice broke the silence.
"...good job. Keep it up."
"Yes sir."
The Instructor, an A-Rank Hero on the verge of breaking through to <S> rank that had a technique and eye developed through countless life and death battles...
Was Unable to find a single flaw within a Seven Star Weapon Art.
He was simply unable to. Not even after examining it for quite a while.
"Who the hell told you to gawk?! Get back to training!"
The loud and enraged voice of the instructor rang out and all the students, who were still surprised continued along with whatever they were doing before after hearing the enraged shout.
***
"So you both want to spar?"
"Yes."
"Yes Sir."
The two youths, who were Elijah And Henry answered.
"Fine, Go towards the opposite ends of the platform there."
The instructor said and pointed towards the marble platform ahead of them.
The two went to the opposite sides of the platform and got their weapons ready.
Elijah had his longsword held out, Henry had his bow aimed and a short sword stuck to his waist.
The Attention of every student except for Allan Was now here.
They had crowded over the platform and were eagerly waiting for the match to begin.
"3"
The instructor's voice rang out.
"2."
Again.
"1."
And finally, it was time.
"BEGIN!"
