Instructor Bastian blackwater walked into the classroom and the noise died out immediately, he began his lessons and renjiro zoned out immediately. He hated everything about learning but he always found instructor Bastian to be very boring.
He whistled in delight when the class came to an end and joined lyra and melora who were headed for the cafeteria, asides meeting up with professor Ophelia for their coital activities this was the only part of school he looked forward to, the food wasn't as good as what he ate at the family castle or Lyra's but it was good enough and renjiro was quick becoming a glutton.
He found out that no matter how much he ate, his body fat was always the same so he ate as much as r could knowing that it had little to no effect on his health, he grabbed what he needed and joined lyra and melora on their table.
"why don't you ever pay attention during lessons " lyra asked with melora nodding in agreement, renjiro groaned in frustration he thought that she had stopped watching him whenever she thought that he wasn't looking but that didn't seem to be the case.
"I guess there is nothing interesting to listen to so most times I just zone out, I'm sorry but I can't help it"
Lyra shook he head in disagreement, she couldn't believe that at this point in their lives, e still refused to be serious about anything.
"This is our final semester in school, we have a few month left and then we'll be left to fend for ourselves, our families are noble but that title would hardly save us in the real world especially in the face of death, many nobles die everyday. So I suggest you start taking what is being taught here a bit more seriously" she slammed her fist on the table trying to emphasize her point but it only drew the attention of the other students
"I don't have a problem with taking the classes more seriously but does that include plant beautification" he said trying to lighten the mood but all he got was glares from lyra, he noticed that he didn't see Phoebe this time.
Everyone was done so they left the cafeteria, it was a bit rowdy so it took them a few minutes to navigate their way to the next class.
This time professor nerissa was already in the training room and was already geared up, which surprised a lot of students since this was the first time she was early for her classes.
"I know you are surprised to see me arrive here before the rest of you but that should be the least of your concerns for now, we weren't able to complete the sparring exercise in the previous class and we are going to continue right from where we stopped, so everyone gear up and get ready"
Renjiro saw the some of the boys that tried talking him into hanging out, they smiled and waved and him and he reciprocated the gesture, he actually didn't care about them but he was willing to do anything to avoid unnecessary troubles.
"During our last meeting, I forgot to tell you guys but the annual royal challenge is coming up soon enough and there are available slots for anyone who is interested in participating as you all know it is divided into various levels and I know a lot of you would be interested in joining the competition because of the numerous benefits associated with finishing in the top ten on the continent. So I implore you all to take this class seriously and practice continuously whenever you have the time. With that being let's begin"
Renjiro listened to most of what she said but from time to time he thought of caelia, when he came to this new world he never thought he'd care for anyone but time had proven to him that his assumptions were false.
The first two combatants were called into the circle, this was the first time since their heir combat class training began that two males were paired together, one of them was a lanky boy with grey hair and brows, his eyes looked dead and emotionless while the other was stocky it looked like the only thing he did was work out.
"begin" professor nerissa instructed and they charged at themselves almost immediately, the lanky one was surprisingly very agile considering his build an arcane circle formed in his hand and a stake materialized almost immediately, he thrust his arm towards the neck of his opponent.
"a killing blow" someone gasped
The stocky student tilted his body at an impossible angle and the whole of his arm was covered with what looked like tree bark, the lanky boy attacked him with various thrusts stabbing at his various vital points but he manage to deflect everything using his bark covered hands.
Professor nerissa nodded in appreciation, both students were doing exceptionally well, they were close range fighters and we're consuming energy in very small quantity, this way the could continue fighting for hours as long as none of them made a fatal mistake an still have enough energy to cast dangerous energy spells as their trump cards.
"The perfect assassins" she though with a smile
The stocky boy eventually made contact, he dodged a series of thrusts and jabs making an insane manoeuver mid air before executing a well timed liver shot into the body of the lanky boy pushing him back a few meters, the lanky boy held his sides but still had the same expression he had went the duel began.
Renjiro hardly paid attention during the duels but this duo had his attention, they were exceptional though he wondered how a human being could possible move in the way the stocky guy moved, he was too flexible for someone his stature and he wondered how the lanky boy managed to retain the same expression all through the duel.
The lanky boy took a deep breath and charged again.
