Chapter 5.11 (1/2)

Chapter 5. Welcome to the summoner’s school. (11)

“We can’t keep going like this.”

Nerkia nodded as soon as he heard this.

“Far too little first and seconds years are actually doing anything.”

The way that Yugrasia, no, the four schools worked was simple. New students get into first year, and after they spend a year in school, they become second years. After that, they become a third year.

The first years can be described with the word “pride”.

As many of them got tutored in their respective n.o.ble families, everyone had an extremely large amount of pride. Well, pride is a nice way of putting it. In reality, these students just didn’t have common sense.

Since they got loaded with the best kind of education in their homes, it’s expected that they’d be very smart! This is the same for schools like Mercaria as well. There’s a huge difference between kids who work to earn money and study in their free time, and kids who just get taught by great teachers in their homes at all times.

Because of that, the kids in first year are chock full of people who thinks they’re great. That’s why a lot of accidents and fights occur in this year.

The second years can be described with the word “calm”.

In the previous year, the ranks between students get chosen. These students realize how insignificant they are, and begin to quiet down.

This is also the time when they learn about how societies work, and it is also the time when they care about how teachers look at them the most. In this time, students get outside to learn from their seniors.

Lastly, the third years. They can be described with the word… “chaos”.

This is the time when the personalities from the first years appear again. This is when everyone’s pretty much done with everything. They’ve adapted to the environment of the school, and have gotten smarter. They’ve become much more adept in avoiding getting into trouble.

But the thing that’s the most important here is… the third years have nothing to do. Once they enter their third year, everyone knows how to graduate.

They know if they have to graduate in that year, stay for one more year, or stay for two years.

They start making deals with their family, and begin enjoying school life. During this time, many relations.h.i.+ps begin to form, but grades begin to fall as a result.

Because of this, many of the third years are trying to run from the night study time! But the number of first years in the Student Liberation Army just rose to 30 people (five joined), and only seven of the second years are trying to run.

“…Even though the key to our victory is at the location of the second years…”

Yugrasia had a total of twelve floors, and floors three to eight were used as cla.s.srooms. The key to victory was at the place where the first and the third years could meet, the cla.s.ses of the second years!

Not only that, unlike the first years, whose numbers only amounted to a hundred people, there were more than three hundred second years in the school. Therefore, it could be said that the cla.s.ses of the second years was where the sleeping dragon lay.

“We can do it as long as the second years make their move. After all, most of the teachers that teach the second years have to try to stop us from running away.”

It was mentioned before, but the third years are those who could be called veteran summoners. They are also a grade that contains a host of people who stayed for four to five years along with the most amount of students. In other words, they are the strongest students in the entire school. These students are dangerous even to the teachers! After all, this was the grade that managed to get all the way down to the first floor from the eighth floor. And since there’s up to eight hundred students in this grade, many of the professors set up their defenses in the seventh floor.

“If the second years come with us, we can win.”

“But they are slaves to their grades.”

The school changed. This means that the world of the students changed.

In the past, students could study for up to five years before graduating, but things have changed. Stay in a place like this for five years? Nonsense!

The third years who planned to study for one or two more years were currently crying tears of blood, and the fifth years were wondering why they decided to study for five years when they could’ve graduated in their first year. Everyone was pretty much cursing their past selves for being so lazy.

The second years thought the same as well.

-If I stay here for one more year, I die!

Let’s finish school in one year!

For the first time in history, all the second years were trying to graduate in three years!

“How are the test problems?”
