"Listen up brats! Today I will teach all of you the essence of being a true fighter, alongside it was the skills one will need if a war happens."
A few days has passed and nothing really much happened apart from having lessons on different subjects.
Currently we are all in a field, dressed in a combat uniform for the academy.
The combat uniform consists of a Turtle neck, alongside it was a vest like armor, and pants.
And right infront of us was a middle aged burly man, his body was huge and burly while he held a sword in his hand.
He got brown hair and dark brown eyes.
'Honestly he looks like a thug than a teacher.'
That's the only thought I can process.
"For introductions, my name was James Wickhert."
James Wickhert, he wasn't part of the order nor an imperial commander. Rather he was from a guild.
This world wasn't only run by the nobles, guilds was also one of the pillars of the empire.
They are known as the hunters or adventurers and James was an executive of a large guild, not a guild master.
Various guilds was located within the empire, not just the empire but also the continent.
Guilds ranked from
★ to ★★★★★
And the one guild that James was in was a 4 star guild, called as [Grondelum].
James was currently a [A+], while Shannon was at least a [B] and Pooh was a [C].
'To think an executive was this strong, how about a guild master level.'
"Well now that I've explain the rules, you may now prepare your weapons."
The class gives us the authority to spar, train and even have a one on one battle with the professor.
'Though I would just go to the training dummies.'
But this time the professor wants us to make groups and have a mock dungeon battle.
Mock dungeon battle was having a full on teams battling inside a dungeon, it was more of a cooperative dungeon play than a solo one.
It was a battle with the highest kill of monsters.
Though it will be conducted with a device, a device that will transfer our thoughts to an independent world.
The independent world was said to be made by the headmaster himself.
'Just how strong was that man, the game only briefly showed his appearance.'
A old man with white hair and long beard yet his strength was something Alex in his prime can't fathom.
He was a mysterious character.

"And so the groupings was now finished."
As James said his words we literally came to our respective groups and unluckily....I am with Ruby Changretta.
'Of all the people why her!?'
'It would be much better if, I can have Alex to carry my whole ass in this farce!!'
Alex, Wilson, Astrid and Selena also have made their own groups, being their each and own respective group leaders.
She's literally the female version of Wilson, egoistic, prideful and most importantly spoiled rotten with her golden spoon.
'Ohh damn here comes my peaceful days.'
"Well looks like this was our group."
A man with annoying smirk spoke to break the mood.
Ruby just looked at us silently while contemplating.
Our group was consists of 5 students each.
Apart from me and ruby, the one who spoke up was a son of an earl ranked noble while the other 2 was commoners.
The group consists of 3 men and 2 women one was ruby.
The 2 commoners rather have a slightly good looking facial features, the woman seems kind and gentle while the man was timid.
"To think that I needed to team up with commoners, really pisses me off."
And the one who voiced his thoughts was this silver spooned brat.
"Shut up, your annoying me."
Ruby's voice echoed to our place, literally showing her annoyance towards the man.
"Well I apologize, miss Changretta."
Ruby just ignored him.
'What a bootlicker'
"Let's first start with introductions, as all of you know I am Ruby Changretta....And I won't even bother to save each one of you if you've ever encounter trouble and if one of you become a baggage."
"!!?"
Ruby answered while roaming her eyes from every single one of us, in which the 2 commoners shivers.
'Her tounge was really feisty and fierce.'
"Well then my name is Walter Calderon, son of the earl of Calderon."
The another man answered with a smirk on his face, he have a blue hair and blue eyes and a slightly good looking face.
"M-My name is Gilbert Frandel"
The one of the commoners introduced himself, he got the typical black hair, black eyes.
"O-Oh my name is Wendy Housebell"
The only 1 of the 2 girl in our group introduced herself, she got an orange short hair and blue eyes alongside freckles on her face that only makes her cute.
And lastly everyone looked at me curiously.
"My name is Valentine, Edward Valentine."
I answered normally, while only Ruby didn't changed her reaction.
"Ohh???? Aren't you a duke's son???? The great death god's son????? Damnnn what a pleasure."
Walter said while examining me and having his hand ready for a handshake.
I just look at it while being monotonous, his hand was basically covered with mana.
'Did this brat think I would fall for that?'
"But as far as I know, the duke's son was a trash??? Is that true?"
He asked with a hidden smirk on his eyes.
The academy basically gave everyone equal rights, every single one of us in here can do everything we want as long as the rules wasn't violated, from commoner to nobles everyone was equal.
'That's why this twart was getting arrogant.'
Well he got something to back his arrogance up, I can sense this brat was at least [F] or [F+] only slightly weaker than ruby who was already an [E-].
"..."
I just looked at him straight to the eye.
"Would you mind removing that hand of yours?"
I spoke to him while not changing my reactions at all.
"Fine Fine~, if you say so."
He just removed his hand while looking at me with his slightly slanted eyes.
***
After that little episode, we have all go to a dome like place within the academy.
It was called the [Dream] room where we are going in the independent world.
"First of all, once in that world, only your will, will be the one who wil transported, so complications of dying was nigh impossible."
"..."
"But your senses and everything you will feel in there will be the same as in reality....So frankly speaking if anyone of you gets eaten alive then you will also experience the pain of getting eaten alive."
"!!!"
-Gulp!
Seeing those students swallowing their saliva, James just smiled at how funny they are.
'Well even I myself will get crazy getting eaten alive.'
"So without further a do let's start your first ever, Practical Combat simulation."
