48 – Elysia Academy
by Afuhfuihgs
[The Constellation, ‘Incarnation of the Golden Ox,’ is enraged by your atrocities.]
[The Constellation, ‘Incarnation of the Golden Ox,’ says that if you don’t beg for forgiveness and prostrate yourself in repentance immediately, divine punishment will befall you.]
The System window popped up as soon as I crushed that bastard’s hand.
It was probably that guy’s Constellation.
‘Incarnation of the Golden Ox…’
I heard it was a Legend-grade Constellation.
Quite famous and influential.
That’s why that bastard was acting so high and mighty.
‘Well… I guess he has some reason to be upset?’
[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash,’ retorts, telling him to raise his Incarnation properly.]
[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash,’ is furious at the words of Incarnation ‘Im Cheol-ha,’ and says that if he keeps yapping, he will descend and kill him.]
[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash,’ tells the Constellation, ‘Incarnation of the Golden Ox,’ that if he says one more word, he will find him in his true form and obliterate him.]
Our Constellation is the best.
Better than some Hanwoo cow!
[The Constellation, ‘Incarnation of the Golden Ox,’ sees your Patron Constellation and runs away.]
After that, the System window disappeared.
Ha-yeon, having confirmed that, looked at Im Cheol-ha, who was lying on the floor, wailing and clutching his right arm, which had been shattered.
You could say it was a bit harsh… but whatever.
‘This level of injury isn’t even that big of a deal.’
He could just go to the infirmary and get treatment for a while, and he’d be completely healed.
It was only that much of an injury.
Well, it was true that it wasn’t an ordinary injury.
‘With this, I’ve probably established some dominance.’
Thinking that, I looked around the classroom.
“……”
Everyone was looking at me with fearful eyes, not saying a word.
Perfect!
‘More than that, the injury was less severe than I expected.’
Anyone who heard that would say I was crazy, but I was serious.
The injury I had originally expected was much worse than that.
‘So, he’s about B+ grade? Something like that?’
If you meet a good Constellation, you have immense power, no matter how young you are.
Records aren’t well-preserved these days, but if you look at the myths, there were children who became S-grade thanks to the grace of a Constellation not long after they were born.
That guy wasn’t even an adult yet, but he had a pretty high grade of B.
That’s why he received a somewhat weak attack.
Maybe the reason he said those things to me, an S-grade, was because he didn’t know exactly who I was.
It had been less than a month since I became famous, and that guy was probably too busy showing off his achievements to pay attention to anything else.
Anyway, I had to deal with this guy, so I called out to the male student who was sitting next to him and chatting.
“Hey.”
“M-Me?”
“Yeah, you. Take this guy to the infirmary.”
“Y-Yes!”
With those words, the male student picked up the guy who was lying on the floor, crying and snotting everywhere, and quickly ran out of the room as if he were fleeing.
Confirming that things were roughly settled, she walked back to the teacher’s desk.
And said.
“I’m not scary as long as you don’t cross the line like that, okay?”
Of course, none of the students believed her.
Immediately after that, a rumor spread throughout the school.
-If you provoke the 1st-year combat instructor, you will never get away unscathed.
A very direct statement.
The words spread quickly among the 1st-year students, and soon spread to the 2nd and 3rd-year students as well.
The rumor that Im something-or-other from the S-class, who had been acting high and mighty and gathering all sorts of people, had his right arm wrecked on the first day for hitting on her.
At first, people didn’t believe it, but after another student who had actually been treated in the infirmary testified, everyone had no choice but to believe it.
And people actually liked it.
It wasn’t even their class’s professor, and they were just crushing the S-class guys who thought they were the center of the world, so they couldn’t help but like it.
Anyway, while those rumors were spreading, Ha-yeon was currently…
“Haaam… Is someone talking about me? My ears are itchy.”
Sitting in a chair at a desk in the temporary faculty room, she was sleeping.
“Of course they’re talking about you, Professor.”
Seia, the Spiritism professor with dark green hair and sparkling black eyes sitting next to her, said that.
She was the first colleague she had made since coming to this faculty room, and while Ha-yeon didn’t know, Seia had a full-blown social butterfly personality, so they quickly became friends.
“You caused such a ruckus from the first class, of course they’re talking about you. More than that, are you going to be okay? His family is quite big.”
“My backer is the Association, what is there to be afraid of? And that level of company? I could destroy their headquarters in a day, the whole thing in a week.”
It was true.
If I didn’t care about my image and only considered my raw power, I was confident that I could completely destroy that level of company? I could destroy their headquarters in a day, the whole thing in a week.
I had actually done it before.
“You’re amazing as always…”
Seia, knowing that it was true, said that and looked at her with envious eyes.
Her job was an Spiritism professor at the academy, so she knew Spiritism better than anyone and was quite good at it.
But she hadn’t made a contract with a Constellation, so she was still C-grade.
‘It’s not like she hasn’t received contract offers.’
On the contrary, she had received quite a few.
The problem was that she rejected them all because she didn’t like them.
That was also stubbornness in its own way.
“Well, I’m going to go teach my class now.”
Saying that, Seia stood up from her seat.
There was a very slight amount of exposure, but even so, she was wearing a much more conservative professor’s uniform than Ha-yeon. Ha-yeon looked at it for a moment before turning her head away.
“I should go now too….”
The fact that I had to meet those students again made me frown, but after looking around, I realized that not all of them were like that, so I put on my coat and followed Seia out of the faculty room.
‘I made an announcement… I need to go to the training grounds quickly.’
I had told them to come to the training grounds for the next class, so I headed there.
The training grounds were located in a separate building on the first floor.
While being amazed by the scale of the training grounds, which were truly larger than most soccer stadiums, I entered the place.
“Now that you’re all here, let’s start the class.”
At those words, the students in front of me swallowed hard as they lined up.
There’s no need to be so nervous.
“I don’t know your exact combat abilities. So, I’ll ask a few questions. Are there any of you who have a grade of A- or higher?”
Only two students raised their hands at that question.
A blue-eyed boy with white hair and a black-haired, black-eyed girl.
‘Those two are….’
I’ve seen them on the news.
They’re said to be geniuses of the century, two of them.
‘They really are geniuses of the century.’
Considering that the average grade of the 3rd-year students is also A-grade, they are very talented individuals.
“Then you two, step aside over there. Next, those with B+ to B-.”
Then 11 students raised their hands.
It was bound to be the most, I heard that’s the average of the S-class.
Similarly, when those 10 people were moved to another place, 2 people remained.
A black-haired boy and a black-haired, shaggy-haired girl.
“And you two?”
“We’re C-grade.”
The boy said, explaining about the girl next to him as well.
‘C-grade, huh….’
It was clear that they hadn’t made a contract yet.
“You haven’t made a contract?”
Since there was no need to beat around the bush, I asked that, and the two nodded cautiously.
“Then wait here for a moment.”
I moved the two of them behind me and headed to the two A-grade students first.
“You two…. wait too. It’s better to spar with me than to teach you something else.”
“Yes!”
“Yes….”
The two of them agreed and showed some anticipation.
That was because I was a very famous S-grade Hunter these days.
Being able to spar with such a Hunter would be an honor.
Well….. I sound like I’m bragging when I say it like this, but it’s the truth!
Ahem.
[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash,’ looks at his contractor with a disapproving expression.]
Let’s ignore the Constellation.
Next is the B-grade group.
“You guys…. well, 100 basic swings, after you do that, 100 horizontal swings, 100 vertical swings… after you do all that, I’ll give you a chance to spar with me.”
It was really just training with brute force, but that’s why it was the most reliable training.
The guys knew that too, so they were a bit flustered but followed along.
For reference, the guy who hit on me earlier and had his right arm broken is still in the infirmary.
His treatment is almost over, but he’s still holding out.
Even so, I’ll be meeting him within a week.
Anyway, after dealing with the B-grades like that, I headed to the C-grades.
“You guys….. well. Have you received any contract offers from Constellations?”
Like Seia, they may have been chosen by Constellations but hadn’t made a contract yet because they didn’t like them.
“Yes… we have, but… they’re only Hero-grade, or at most Fortitude-grade…..”
“That Fortitude-grade doesn’t suit us either.”
Hmm… then that makes sense.
If they were students of this academy, they would want to make a contract with at least a Fortitude-grade that suited them.
“Then what kind of specialization do you want?”
“I want a smithing specialization…”
“I want an alchemy specialization.”
Smithing and alchemy… those are quite difficult specializations to find.
That’s why it’s hard to receive offers.
“Alchemy and smithing, huh…..”
What should I do?
Just as I was thinking that, a System window suddenly popped up.
[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash,’ guarantees that he can resolve this matter.]
“….Constellation?”
Saying that, the System window didn’t appear for a while.
About a minute passed.
The System window appeared again.
[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash,’ invites the Constellation, ‘The Great Blacksmith of the End of Dimensions,’ to this channel.]
“The Great Blacksmith of the End of Dimensions?”
That was the first time I had heard of that Constellation’s name.
Who is it?
[The Constellation, ‘The Great Blacksmith of the End of Dimensions,’ looks at the one who used his weapon.]
[Reveals his True Name.]
E-Eh…Ehh?
Before I could be flustered by the sudden True Name, the System window popped up immediately.
[The Constellation, ‘The Great Blacksmith of the End of Dimensions,’ reveals his True Name, ‘Servan Di Derkaile.’]
…..?
Why is my brother there?
