"Well then let's start our first class of training" The old man, who is in charge of Eli's Class was standing on the training ground and Students stood infront of him.
"Retribution, retribution...." After learning the cruel truth, Eli lost himself as he rumbled.
"Oh, I forget to introduce myself. 'yawn' I am Rock. Your class in charge and Physical trainer" The old man said with a sleepy tone.
"All you have to do is train harder with your suitable weapons and next class we will have a mock battle 'yawn'....that's it, Leave" As soon as those words were heard, this time Eli was the first about to leave and Rock was also about to leave but someone questioned him,
"You are not going to teach us?!"
'I can't leave?' Eli thought as he raised his eyebrows.
"Why would I?" Rock said flatly as he guessed someone would ask.
"What you mean why?"
"We here for learning"
"Where are the spells and technique?"
'chatter'
and like that, everyone started to question him and Rock calmly heard their question and waited; After everyone finished asking questions. With disdain, Rock shouted,
"You Brats, Do you think I didn't know what are you up to? hmmm" Rock released his Killing intent.
Everyone shuttered as if they felt they will be killed if they spoke anything.
Eli watched this scene like he was not one of them and thought 'He was definitely above the Early-Domain Rank'
"You want to be taught, for what? So that you can promote to the Nex, right?" Rock said with disdain.
"What?" Eli was puzzled.
"Hmmm? You don't know..E...Eli, right?" Rock asked curious.
"Yes, Sir" Eli replied but inwardly 'Did he really forget me?'
"Hmm...I guess, you haven't gotten along with anyone. It must be hard for being a backstabbing person.....hah...ha" Rock laughed with amusement.
Eli's eyes twitched but he didn't say anything because it was right that he didn't know many new things even if he had a Phone or books.
"Well then let me enlighten you. After Admission Exam, those who joined the Divisions can have another chance to enter the Nex and that will be only Freshers and Third-year students"
"WHAT?" Eli was astonished, even If he hunts some Star-ranked monsters that will hardly provide any credit that can be used to change classes within the divisions; he thought he will be here for 4 years without the colorful student life but now...
"Six months after the Admission Exam, there will be an Inter-Division competition and those who topped the first 10 places will able to enter the Nex".
"Wow" Eli felt his Colorful life starting to return and like a bee he will find a way to be in a garden of wonderful flowers.
"But how come that related to this?" Even though he was happy, Eli was confused.
Rock looked at Eli with squinted eyes and said, "I guess, even though you are cunning, your brain doesn't work sometimes...ah"
Viens popped on Eli's forehead but waited for his answer.
"sighs...You Freshers, will work hard than anyone and learn everything as soon as possible so that you could join Nex but there are only 10 spots. So the remaining Thousands of students will lose interest after the competition and start to act lazy till they the reach Third year; some even blame us and the important thing is good quality students will be gone.
We were treated as used and thrown cups; when you need us, we have to be there to help and guide you but when you don't need us, you treat us an air. So here you have it...there is no point teaching them for the next 6 months" Rock said as he thought about his own favorite students who were now studying in the Nex.
'I don't know why he is pouring his frustration now?' Eli thought and nodded his head as he understood something and said, "I guess, teaching them with everything you know, results in; Winners: instead of feeling grateful, they forget you; Losers, instead of working hard again, they blamed you for their incompetence"
Rock blinked at Eli a few times as all the students looked at him with irritation because what he said was the harsh truth.
"you can.."
"Even so, you cannot say all of them are the same. Some people want to achieve their own dreams at any cost, even in the process of losing something important" Eli interrupted the Rock and said with a sad smile.
'She did say /Give some honest compliments if someone helped and cared for you, that will make them really happy even if it just a few words/' Eli thought.
"Thank you for the information, Sir. I am truly grateful that even though people avoided me, you still spoke to me. I may don't understand what means to be a teacher but I can say...you must love your profession even if it hurts sometimes, Sir; You are truly a wonderful teacher.
Well then, I have my own dreams for that I must attend the Nex" Eli said with admiration and hopeful expression.
With a slight bow, "For the next 6 months, I may ask you for some guidance. Hope you will guide me, Sir" With that, he turned and headed towards the exit.
Rock never thought that he will hear that words again after his wives died,
/You are truly a wonderful teacher/
not from some backstabbing person....is he?
A rare smile appeared on Rock's face as he asked, "May I know what is your dream?"
Eli didn't turn just said loudly and proudly, "I will make the girls fall in love with me" as he left the place.
"What?" A question mark appeared on everyone's head, 'But it looked cool though' everyone thought.
Rock's eyes twitched, 'What does he mean 'make the girls fall in love with him'? sigh, just another brat who wants to search under the skirt....He reminds me of the younger me' he thought nostalgia., "Youth people these days..." as he started to mumble.
