Chapter 14 - Entrance Ceremony

Kevin woke up early the next day, knowing he had to begin his training. As he emerged from his comfortable bed, he stretched his body and couldn't help but marvel at the quality of the bed.

"It's no wonder they say the Gods create the best things," he thought to himself.

He knew that as an S-class member, he was entitled to certain luxuries and comforts.

However, he also understood that he had to work hard and stay focused if he wanted to become stronger.

With this in mind, Kevin began to review his training strategy for the day, determined to make progress towards his goals.

'Even though I passed the entrance exam with good grades and got into S-class. But when combat classes will start, many people will know that I am just a weakling.

Yeah, and like every cliché novel I will fall from grace, my engagement will break... wait, do I have any engagements? Let's cut that part.

What I am saying is troubles will come to no end if something like that happened. So now let's start my training."

After that, Kevin ordered a bunch of things from the Association's website.

Apparently, you can order things like this and Academy also allows this.

After half an hour, delivery came.

Kevin thought that it might be because Academy security measures.

Soon, a student was holding a package at the door and Kevin took it.

"Thanks" Kevin thanked the person politely.

"Your welcome." The person who came to deliver the package was also moved by this.

After exchanging pleasantries, the student departed and Kevin closed the door.

Kevin was surprised by the swift delivery. If he were on Earth, he would not have received the package for a few days.

Kevin opened the package and saw that it contained a variety of items such as body weights and herbs, among others.

These herbs were the same ones that Kevin used as supplements for Nutritions. While other herbs were to make potions like Mana Recovery potion and Stamina Recovery potion.

Kevin bought them to use while he will train to raise his stats. It was quite important for him.

Even though he can buy potions from the Market.

It's kinda costly for Kevin as he was not some second-generation young master.

Although the association gives some discounts to the students of Isis Academy. Still, it's expensive and a waste of money for Kevin in long term.

And he knows many good recipes for potions and elixirs. Even though he might not able to make a good potion as a qualified Alchemist. However he was sure that it would become better after some time.

This will also save his money. There is also a chance that in the future it might become a source of money for him.

"In other novels, Mc is Rich and strong. While here MC is poor and weakling. Hey, gods can't you give me some task and give me some god coins?"

Soon, Kevin's prayer was heard by the Gods and he got an instant response from them.

[Gods are happy about your enthusiasm. Therefore they will give you a new task.]

[Run naked on the streets of the Academy.

Reward : 100 God Coins.

Penalty : None.]

"..."

Kevin thought that he shouldn't ask Gods for anything in the future.

___________________________________

Three days later...

In these three days , Kevin was dedicatedly training his body to improve his physical fitness.

He followed a strict regimen, waking up early in the morning and changing into his training clothes.

Then, he commenced his physical training, pushing himself to his limits.

Whenever he felt exhausted, he would drink a Stamina Recovery potion and rest for a while before resuming his exercises.

During his breaks, he would take some supplements for proper nutrition and consume some healthy snacks to keep his energy levels up.

He also took the time to read books related to his first year syllabus on his laptop, aiming to gain more knowledge for achieving his goals.

Once Kevin's stamina was restored, he resumed his physical training. However, this time, he incorporated the use of mana to strengthen his body, making his workout even more intense and challenging. As a result, Kevin quickly depleted his mana reserves and found himself feeling utterly exhausted.

To recuperate, he consumed both a Mana Recovery potion and a Stamina Recovery potion. After resting for a short while, Kevin shifted his focus to his magic training. As he had a greater aptitude for light magic than thunder magic, he chose to focus his efforts exclusively on honing his thunder magic skills.

Kevin continued his rigorous training, tirelessly casting spell after spell until he finally depleted his mana reserves. Feeling completely drained, he decided to take a break from his training regimen to recharge.

During his break, Kevin focused on crafting supplements and potions to assist him in his training. He put his knowledge of herbs and nutrients to work, carefully preparing each item with great care and attention to detail. Once he had reached his quota, he took a break from his crafting and indulged in some delicious roasted meat.

After his meal, Kevin turned his attention to his mental and spiritual well-being. He spent some time practicing yoga to stretch and relax his muscles. Then, he delved into studying the syllabus for his first year, determined to stay ahead of the curve and excel in his academic pursuits.

This cycle of training, crafting, and self-care continued for three days straight.

With each passing day, Kevin's training routine became more rigorous and demanding. Yet he remained steadfast in his commitment to achieving his goals, pushing himself harder and harder to reach his full potential.

Today, he saw his status window.

After training like a madman, Kevin's level has risen.

His mana, mana recovery speed, stamina, and strength also rose.

Thunder magic became better.

Light magic didn't change much because he didn't train in it.

"Even though I trained like crazy. It might not change. Although there are some changes now. It's because the stats are now at the bottom.

If you even think about heroines. Their level is more than 100. Looks like I have to do more training and hunting."

Kevin made a wry smile. Although he made good progress but he was not satisfied with this.

Then Kevin started getting ready because today is Entrance Ceremony of the Academy.

Even though he is the protagonist, he doesn't want to make a hero like late entry.

He understood the importance of making a good first impression and did not want to stand out for the wrong reasons.

As with most educational institutions, the Academy had a uniform that all students were required to wear.

The uniform was more than just clothing; it could also offer some level of protection against physical attacks. In addition to the uniform, the Academy also provided students with a training suit to aid in their physical training and development.

The uniform came in two different colors, dark blue and black. Kevin, being true to his character, opted for the black uniform. The uniform consisted of a white shirt and black pants, with the option to wear either a jacket or hoodie.

Kevin chose to wear a hoodie to stay warm and comfortable throughout the day.

As an S-class student, he has to wear a special badge on his hoodie, that signifies that he is in S-class.

According to the rules, every student had to put their class badge near their chest.

After getting ready, Kevin wore his lower face mask and left his room.

As Kevin was walking towards Assembly Hall. Many students were also going there for the entrance ceremony.

However Kevin still attracted attention.

He thought it would be great if he had some artifact which can reduce his charm.

While many of his peers opted for the blue uniform and coat, Kevin chose to go against the grain and don the black uniform.

Despite being different, the black uniform suited him well, accentuating his features and giving him a distinct air of mystery.

As Kevin made his way to the Entrance Ceremony, he couldn't help but notice the way his fellow students looked at him with a mix of curiosity and awe.

They couldn't help but notice the S-class badge he was part of, which only served to enhance their admiration for him.

While Kevin was walking, he was constantly getting messages of AP that were coming.

Kevin's boredom grew as he entered the Assembly Hall for the Entrance Ceremony.

The sight before him was nothing short of grandeur; the hall was adorned with elaborate decorations and colorful banners bearing the name of the institution - 'Isis Academy Entrance Ceremony'.

The hall was bustling with activity, as students and faculty members scurried around, putting the final touches to the ceremony.

'If only these people spend this money on security. I wouldn't have to come here. Still it's not their fault. It's that stupid goddess's fault. Just you wait. After clearing this game. I will take my revenge. Fufu.' Kevin chuckled inwardly.

There were many seats. Students' seats were placed according to their class.

Like seats for students of S-class was in front row. While seats for students of D-class was in last row.

Kevin quickly scanned the surroundings and then he sat in the second last row of S-class. Fortunately, he found an empty sit in the end of the row.

It's because he didn't want any attention by sitting in the first row.

While Kevin was the finding seat he saw many characters of the game.

Yeah, they are surely heroines. It's not just like heroines. There are sub-heroines, hidden heroines, Villains, Hidden villains, supporting characters, extras, etc.

But Kevin decided to not approach them now.

'Even though my social skills are good. I don't think someone would like how someone bothers them now.'

Kevin also sat here because it was kinda far from the seat of heroines.

For Kevin it was not good idea to approach them because they were just troublemakers in his eyes.

Soon the hall was filled with students.

Then Entrance Ceremony Started.

Just when everyone was wondering what will happen. A lady appeared on stage like flash.

Many students were surprised but Kevin was still calm.

'It's just high-level magic warp. I had seen this many times in the game and this lady is..'

"Hello, I am the headmaster of this Isis Magic Academy. Nice to meet you all. Now you have been admitted here. Do your best."

And then she disappeared. Yeah, she is that eccentric headmaster. Why eccentric? Because she is.

Although she just appeared and after greeting all students she disappeared. Many people saw her but it was just an outline.

Her face was covered. She wore a big magic robe.

However Kevin knew she is one hell of a beauty.

She is also an Intermediate or Advanced Archmage but don't think she is a heroine or something.

'It's a good thing that goddess didn't make her heroine. Because she is freaking Grandma. She is more than 100 years old.' Kevin sighed in relief.

Still, you can capture her if you can. Still nobody succeed in that. It's not like that's hard. It's freaking impossible.

She only appears a few times in the storyline.

In the events, you won't see her.

She only appears to give a reward and then she disappears. Even in the climax, she didn't appear.

Although she was at the post-graduation ceremony and congratulated the protagonist. You can say she is one of the plotholes in the game.

If Kevin had a hostility list. Then she would be sure in second place and you know who is at the first place.

After some time, everyone came out daze and the pace was restored in the ceremony.

Soon, vice-headmaster gave a speech. Well, he is a man. This man also would be one of the few people who hate the headmaster to the guts. Because he has to do everything on behalf of that headmaster.

Then soon this year's chief was invited on stage to give a speech and take an Oath.

As cliché, she is also Heroine.

After her speech, entrance ceremony ended.
