Although Rean was somewhat concerned about what the purple-haired girl instructor was saying to Alyssa, when he didn't hear anything clearly, the purple-haired girl left the student auditorium. He had no choice but to draw his attention.
return.
Rolling names may seem ordinary, but it's not just a formality. It's also a part of gathering intelligence. Linking information like "names" to specific people is a necessary skill in the social world.
The blond young man did not take out the roll call book, but glanced at the students. And with this glance, the air in the entire auditorium became a little colder, and the entire atmosphere became solemn.
Li En's heart trembled. This instructor, who was so inconspicuous when he stood behind Principal Van Dyke just now, was much stronger than he thought. With Li En's eyesight, he couldn't see his depth at all. Come to think of it,
He should be a well-known warrior in the empire. Rean recalled the names of the powerful men in the empire that he knew, and seemed to have a vague impression of them. However, the roll call had already begun, so he put this matter behind him first, and
It was because he paid attention to his classmates.
"Yusis Elbarea" "I am."
The first person whose name was called was the blond boy. His handsome face revealed an aloofness that repulsed others. If it were an outsider who didn't know better, they might think he was arrogant, but Li En felt that his
The reaction is natural. After all, he is Elbarea, the family name of only two dukes who are at the top of the imperial aristocracy. How can he talk politely like an ordinary person? In the empire with strict classes,
That kind of behavior is even more unnatural.
"Patrick T. Haynes." "To."
They all belong to the four famous families of the Imperial nobility. Although they are slightly inferior to the Dukes in terms of title, the Haines family is also an extremely important person.
"Phyllis Florald." "Arrived."
A girl with light purple hair. Although this family name is Li En, he is not familiar with it... But when he was at home, he also read the heraldry books in his father's collection and knew that this was the name of an earl family with quite a history.
"Laura S. Alcide." "Arrived."
The powerful voice came from a tall blue-haired girl. Different from the equipment that other people put in wooden boxes or cloth bags, in the sword bag behind her was a life-size sword that was absolutely difficult for ordinary swordsmen to control.
The super-famous swordsmanship family of the Erebonia Empire - Regram's "Arsedry". This family is as famous as the Vandel family guarded by the royal family. For Rean, it is even more important to him than the four famous families.
care.
Probably noticing his fiery gaze, the blue-haired girl turned her head slightly and looked at Li En strangely. It was as if she was asking Li En with her gaze, "Do you know me?"
His heart skipped a beat, and Li En looked a little embarrassed. He also realized that it was very rude to unconsciously use his "eye of observation" to look at the girl he met for the first time. He didn't know how to describe himself.
No matter where his eyes were, fortunately the instructor from the front saved him by calling his name.
"Lean Schwartz." "Arrived."
Following the roll call, his eyes moved to the pale-blond instructor. Li En didn't look away, and the gaze from the blue-haired girl beside him was no longer as intense as before.
"Josté Capua." "Arrived."
When the call was called, the girl with short hair waved to the instructor with pale blond hair, and the latter nodded in response. Li En noticed that when the name was announced, no matter it was the person whose name had been called before,
Both Phyllis and Alyssa, who had talked to him before, turned their heads and paid attention to her. In fact, Rean himself also felt that there was something different about her and other people. It was inexplicable.
Rean had only felt the unknown feeling from his father Theo.
Next, the pale-haired instructor did not continue to call the names immediately, but directly asked them to get out of the queue and stand on his right side.
"The six of you are elites selected from the noble class by the chairman. Although the empire has strict hierarchies, according to Thorz's school rules, the status of military cadets is equal. In this class composed of the best students, you cannot
I think I don’t need to say more about how I look down on civilian students.”
"Of course." Jussis nodded. With him as an example, both Patrick and Phyllis also agreed.
Rean, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed. He originally thought that if he was not in the noble class, he could hide his identity temporarily... Feeling the gazes of Alyssa and Elliot, who had talked to him not long ago, he could barely maintain his composure.
A poker face.
Next, the pale-haired instructor continued to roll call.
"Alyssa Lane." "Arrived."
Rean once again thanked the instructor for rescuing him. After the name of the blonde girl with twin tails was called, he felt that the eyes focused on his back were no longer so stinging.
"Shelley Orlando." "Shelley's here."
With short fiery red hair, she was probably the most suitable person in the red school uniform among everyone present. She had a cat-like temperament, but Li En vaguely noticed that this girl seemed to be hiding something.
"Machias Regnitz." "Arrived."
An ordinary boy. That last name seems a bit familiar.
"Elliot Craig." "Got, gotta... got it!"
The absent-minded Elliot almost bit his tongue. Rean pretended not to notice, and the latter touched the back of his head in embarrassment. But in fact, no one among the people present paid attention to him.
"Emma Milstyn." "Arrived."
A girl who wears glasses and has an intellectual temperament. Based on Rean's first impression, she should go to Imperial Academy or other liberal arts school instead of Thors Military Academy. But since she is already here, she should be there
It's your own reasons.
"Gaius Worzel." "Arrived."
He is so tall, this was Rean's first impression, and his dark brown skin is different from most Imperial people. The cross gun leaning behind him reminded Rean of the famous legend in the history books - Noel
Druid Spearmanship. After noticing Rean's gaze, Gaius also gave him a kind smile.
"Miriam O'Laine." "Here he is."
"Altina Orion." "Here."
Just from their last names, you can tell that they are a pair of sisters. Compared to most people present, their statures are particularly short. It makes people think that they are still in the senior class of Sunday school. They don't look like that.
Like the legendary academic master, he gives people a feeling of mystery, but in fact it is impossible to tell who is the elder sister and who is the younger sister.
"By the way, I am the older sister! A-chan is the younger sister."
As if answering the doubts of many people, including Rean, Miriam put her hands on her hips and looked around and said proudly.
Immediately afterwards, her sister Altina flicked her forehead from the front. She fell to the ground with tears in her eyes.
"Ignore her, instructor, please continue."
Altina spoke to Reinhardt. No one present, including Miriam, knew that the two of them had acted together for a period of time. Reinhardt nodded and continued to click on the next person.
"Rosenu Scotti." "Arrived."
That was a very beautiful girl. Li En had to admit that in terms of appearance, she was probably the best in the class... no, she was the most beautiful girl in the school. He didn't dare to stare at it for too long, he just glanced at it.
He calmly looked away.
"Fay Clausel." "Arrived."
The silver-haired girl's posture seems to be relaxed but is actually quite orderly. It seems to be some kind of special skill. At first impression, she looks like a child? But she is a little older than the Orion sisters just now.
After everyone's roll call was completed, the pale-blond instructor began to introduce himself.
"I am Reinhardt S. Hamel. Some of you may have heard of my name. Starting today, I will serve as the grade-level instructor of your seventh class."
This name, coupled with his appearance that made Li En feel familiar before, Li En quickly remembered the identity of the instructor in front of him. "Sword Emperor" Reinhardt, the runner-up in last year's Imperial Martial Arts Competition, although
He was narrowly defeated by Victor, the "Swordsmith of Light" in the competition, but according to the post-mortem analysis by the good guys from the video playback, the main reason for the defeat was that the weapon was inferior and inferior, not because of any difference in swordsmanship between the two.
A decisive gap. He is a very famous figure in the martial arts circle of the empire today.
"Huh? It's true. I heard about your deeds from my father, but I didn't expect you to be an instructor here. It's such an unexpected surprise for me." Laura spoke faster than Rean. "
He kept saying, 'Let's see who of us takes the step beyond the end first', although I don't know what he means."
"Haha, daughter of the 'Swordsmith of Light', one day you will understand the meaning of this sentence." After finishing speaking to Laura, Reinhardt looked at the others, "For me, I should have read
The class was drawn into this newly established class seven, do you have any doubts?"
"Although I have some guesses, I would like to ask Instructor Reinhardt to elaborate." This time, it was Jussis who spoke first. He did not mean to leave the opportunity to others to speak. In his mind,
Here, as the person with the highest status among everyone present, he should set an example instead of waiting for others to take action.
"The "Class 7" selected regardless of status is first of all merit-based admission. The top ten students in the entire grade are all in this class. It can be said that the best students have gathered together."
The top ten in terms of admission scores are: Emma, Jussis, Jost, Machias, Patrick, Phyllis, Rean, Alyssa, Rosinu, and Fei.
Laura frowned slightly. Her admission score was seventeenth. Although it was very good among a hundred students, if the top sixteen students were ranked according to their scores, she should not be in her turn.
"The second is based on family background. In order to cultivate talents with a holistic strategic vision, this class brings together various elements. It can even be said to be a microcosm of the entire Erebonia Empire. Machias over there
Classmate, you seem to have something to say, I allow you to speak."
"Are you kidding! It has nothing to do with status!? I have never heard of such a thing!? Am I going to be grouped with the nobles?"
Machias almost shouted loudly, making all the students look at him sideways.
"There are indeed scum among the nobles, but there is no shortage of rubbish among the common people. Do you hate the scum among the nobles, or the noble class as a whole? Your anger towards the nobles has nothing to do with me, nor with the other students in this class. Do you think they
Is he also your enemy?"
Reinhardt looked at the six people he had called out before.
"They... are not. However, the empire has an unbreakable class system and an obvious oppression structure. This is the root cause of all misfortunes..." Machias said still somewhat unconvinced.
"I repeat again, according to the school rules of Thors, military cadets are equal in status. If you even have objections to this point, don't apply to a school like Thors where there are a large number of aristocratic children in the first place. Machia
S. Regnitz. What are you going to do next, voluntarily drop out of school?"
Reinhardt glared at him, and Machias felt like a big mountain was pressing on his back. The feeling disappeared in an instant, almost thinking it was an illusion, but it also poured cold water on him, which made him feel a little better.
He calmed down.
"No, I didn't think so. I was impulsive. I'm sorry, everyone." Machias had calmed down and bowed to apologize to the instructors and noble students respectively. At least on the surface.
From the onlooker's point of view, Li En was slightly relieved, but the matter did not end there.
"Macias, let me tell you something. Your father, the governor of the Imperial City, Karl Regnitz, is one of the executive directors of Torz. He should be aware of the fact that you were assigned to Class 7.
"Class 7 is the best class. If you still don't want to stay, I can also let you go back to Class 3. What, do you still have any questions?"
Most people couldn't help but feel shocked after hearing this. The governor of the imperial capital... was the administrative officer in charge of the capital. Although Machias was not a noble, his status was no worse than that of a noble.
The green-haired boy shook his head to show that he had no objection. In fact, his mind was in a mess and he was no longer thinking about his own affairs.
Reinhardt looked at the others again. At this time, the bright red girl waved to him.
"Speaking of which, Shelly has a problem. You seem to be very strong. I don't know how you compare to dad. Well, let's not talk about it for now. I'm thinking, why is it Class 7? Not Class 6 or not.
Class 8, why Class 7? Those instructors clearly led Classes 1 to 5, right? So what about Class 6? Where did Class 6 go?"
"I don't know about this question either. If you know the reason, you can tell me later. Do you have any other questions?"
"Hey, that's too perfunctory!"
Shelly was obviously not satisfied with this answer, but Reinhardt didn't take the girl's curiosity to heart.
"What about accommodation? I see that students in the noble class live in the first dormitory, and students in the civilian class live in the second dormitory. Should our classes live separately?" Emma asked at this time.
"No, you are assigned to the third student dormitory that was renovated using the old Guerrilla Association address. Next, I will take you to the school building first, and then to the dormitory. Come with me."
After Reinhardt walked out of the auditorium, the others followed him.
The location we finally arrived at was the old school building located behind the main school building. The quiet environment gave people a spooky feeling.
"This is the old school building used by Emperor Delekels when he founded the school two hundred and thirty years ago. It was occasionally used for special purposes before, but from now on, it will be used as the exclusive school building for Class 7."
"Um, Instructor Reinhardt, don't we study together with other classes?" It was Emma who asked again. After she spoke, Jussis glanced at her, probably because he was robbed of his lines, but he still asked
He kept a cool expression and didn't say much.
"The curriculum of Class 7 is different from the other five classes. The hours and credit settings are different. There is no need to take classes with others. Other instructors will come from the main school building by then. We will gather here at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning to start the morning session.
Training. I don’t think any of you will be stupid enough to be late on the first day. Then I will take you to the dormitory building. Then we will disband and you will have enough time to get to know each other and get used to each other. I will not interfere."
As a grade-level instructor, Reinhardt conscientiously explained matters needing attention in college life.
Not long after Li En returned to the dormitory assigned to him, he felt a strong fighting spirit gathering downstairs. He quickly walked out of the door, and like him were Gaius in the next room and Gaius in the opposite door.
Laura on.
"Instructor Reinhardt, can Shelly have a fight with you?"
"Can."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shelly, holding a long sword, rushed towards Reinhardt's position. Without any intention of squaring off, her attack was aimed directly at the throat, as if she wanted to take someone's life.
However, before hitting the target, Shelly's right wrist was pinched by Levi's outstretched left hand. After a slight stir, the long sword in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"The path of the sword is too straight. You can try to hide your intentions a little."
The fighting spirit that Shelly had gathered all over her body had no effect at all in the battle just now. Reinhardt just walked over and disarmed her. Everything happened in just a moment, but Shelly
The excitement on his face did not diminish at all.
"Instructor, you are really strong, and you are completely different from my father and uncle. Shelly is really in the right place."
Reinhardt did not comment on Shelly's words, but raised his head and poked his head out of the aisle.
"You guys upstairs, are you going to come down and practice with me?"
After he said this, who could bother to look at the room.
Laura, Jussis, Patrick, Rean, Gaius... each of them used their most proficient moves to attack Reinhardt, but just like Shelly before, no one could survive.
They were easily knocked down with one move. While defeating them, Reinhardt would also point out their shortcomings that needed improvement.
Although this was not a formal martial arts course, they felt that they had benefited a lot from being taught by this master of swordsmanship, and their doubts about why they were invited to Class 7 had long been forgotten.
