256 Classmates? (1/2)

After some more discussions with the Leader Class, the time allotted for them was spent so Raven ended the class.

When he left the room, the students soon followed after. Their first day had rather been fruitful, and somehow stressful. Some of them even questioned their decision for enrolling to this course. For now, they decided that they will stick around to see if they are able to achieve Raven's standards. If they couldn't, then they would drop out of the class and focus on other things.

Raven's next class was the 'Unity of Body, Energy and Spirit'.

It's this class where he was tasked to teach and give pointers about 'Dual Cultivating' or 'Triple Cultivating'. The class will take place in a field, since Raven planned to teach practical things or give concrete examples for the students which calls for them to actively train. In order to prevent them from destroying things, he decided to use the training fields for the class.

Upon his arrival to the field, Raven became stunned with what he saw.

First and foremost was the number of students who are in this field. Raven only had 10 students currently and it seems that no one will come anymore.

But what surprised him the most was the identity of the students. The ten students who stood in front of him, were the exact same faces that he saw when he and his friends became a part of the Genius Class.

He saw Rupert and Veronica. Two of the people that they became close with. Surprisingly, he also saw Alice in here, which puzzled him since from what he could remember, she had a little vendetta with someone from the Genius Class but here she is.

Raven was so surprised that he just now remembered to check the class profiles and saw the proof that he really will be teaching his former classmates.

”Well, this is interesting.” This was Raven's first greeting to the class. His students smiled as he said this, it seems that their teacher was really taken by surprise.

Raven sighed and asked: ”Can anyone explain what's going on here?”

”It's Uncle's idea.” Rupert was the one who replied, the Uncle he was talking about here should be Victor, the former teacher of the Genius Class.

Veronica then followed up by saying: ”When we found out that the Academy will be built along with the introduction of the new Academic System, we made a decision to enroll and test it out.”

Raven nodded and could pretty much tell what's going on. They were probably encouraged by Victor to integrate themselves with the Academy since he himself had high expectations for it. He might also be the one who arranged them to become Raven's students as well.

Due to that, Raven decided to confront Victor later and know his reasons behind doing this. Well, it might not be necessary since even he asked him, it won't change the fact that his former classmates are now his students.

The class then saw Raven's eyes gleam with a colorful light for the briefest of moment before going away. Raven then said: ”So, you guys restarted your cultivation bases.”

He saw then nod which basically confirmed what he saw when he activated his ocular technique earlier. When he checked earlier, he saw the energy fluctuations around them were weak and upon further inspection he saw that all of them are barely on the Skin Toughening Realm.

”That won't be a problem.” Raven stated, ”You guys should be able to blast through the realms quite quick since you already experienced them once.”

Raven doubled checked their profiles and saw what their Spirit Entities are. He then asked: ”So I assume that all of you experienced the Baptism Ritual before right?”

He saw them nod once again. ”Very good, that'll make things easy.”
