Chapter 5.12 (1/2)

Chapter 5. Welcome to the summoner’s school. (12)

“Now, here are your tests…”

“It’s here!”

“Uoooh!”

“Oi, you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! At least pretend to take the sheet!”

7:10AM. As soon as the professors entered the room, the third years burst outside. And!

“The target is the eleventh floor!”

“Take the stairs! We still outnumber the faculty! Stop them from following us at the stairs!”

Again, most of the defenses of the faculty are located in the seventh floor. This was to prevent the faculty from being pressured by everyone in the floors below after setting up defenses in the eighth floor. Since most of them are in the seventh floor, there’s no way the floors above floor eight would be guarded by anyone!

The professors soon realized what the third years were trying to do, and attempted to go up, but it was difficult to get through two entire floors guarded by students.

“We leave it to you, president!”

“Show us your persuation skills!”

“Prove to us that you didn’t go to school for four years for nothing!”

The sea of students parted before Nerkia, like the red sea parted for Moses. Countless encouragements cheered on Nerkia from both sides.

“Right, I’ll do it!”

Bang!

The student council, who managed to take over the announcement room, managed to set up an announcement to the entire school with the sound tech students.

Beep!

-My name is Nerkia Nes Leria. And I want to ask each every one of you students, no, my comrades, a question. Aren’t you… angry?

Sure, us third years are all trying to get out of here, since we’re done with everything. To the first years, who still have much to overcome, and to the second years, who realized the harshness of the world, the great wall known as the faculty might seem impossible to break through. Right, this is reality. After all, the grades you get in your second year determine your entire future. After all, the companies in the empire would recieve your grades after the end of second year. And one of the biggest things that determine your grade in this school are the professors. Because of this, you need to try to look good to the teachers, and you need to try not to rebel in front of them. I get it. This is what reality is like.

But… let’s not think about reality for a moment. Aren’t you angry? Aren’t you angry that you have to stay in school even after cla.s.ses end to study? Do they think we do nothing back in our dorms? Do they think we don’t even study back in our dorms? To be honest, we don’t. Of course we don’t. We don’t do s.h.i.+t even if they tell us to study inside school, so why’d we study in our free time? But even if this makes us angry, we need to stay quiet. But… but then again. It really does get me angry. If you’re trying to get me to study, just make me study. Why are you provoking us to run? If you just tell us to study and end it at that, we’d just study quietly in school. We’d complain, and run every once in a while, but we’d mostly study. But the faculty just decided to tell us to run outright. Who do they think we are? We’re one of the students that go to one of the most prestigious schools in the empire. We outnumber the faculty by ten times. But even so, they’re still provoking us!

By the way… you know what makes me really angry? They told us to run, and we tried to run, but we failed countless times. That’s what makes me angry. Can’t students win against teachers? Is it impossible for students… no, us… to surpa.s.s our teachers?! I don’t think that’s true. If, if we as the students, gather our power. If we decide to unite together! We’d be able to take down any faculty in any of the schools! That’s what I think. And so… I’ll just end this with this one statement.

Those of you who are p.i.s.sed off about staying after school. Those of you who are p.i.s.sed about having to be the teacher’s pet. And, those of you who are p.i.s.sed at seeing us fail all the time, please help. At least a little bit.

Beep!

Nerkia put down the mike when the announcement ended.

“This is the best we can do. We can only trust the undercla.s.smen from now! Let us go! To the battlefield!”

“There is no need to go, for I am here.”

“Professor Arhan?!”

“They already took down our defenses?!”

“No. Since professor Nicerwin told us that it was about time for the students to move towards the upper floors, we decided to set up some defenses up above. But to think you’d go for the announcement room. We didn’t even consider that happening. So, you say you’re angry?! Then take me down!”
