Chapter 243 - Academy life once again (5) (1/2)

”Oh right Info, I got another question for you”

[What is it Mars?]

”It's about my skill that identifies magic beasts, it doesn't work, why is that?”

[Well it's probably because it draws the information from the hunters and mercenaries guilds records, if there's no record it will not show anything]

”I see... Well that makes sense...”

After chatting a bit more with Info Mars left the temple with an unusually quiet 78 in tow, the two of them walked back towards the academy grounds when 78 suddenly asked

”Mars are you going to leave me behind?”

”No, I am not going to do that”

”.... But weren't you going to join Info?”

”That's... Not going to happen in your lifetime”

”... Promise?”

”Yeah I promise”

78 clung to Mars when he promised with a happy smile on her face as the two of them walked into academy grounds and parted ways as it was late already, Mars walked to his room and spent some time to think up a training plan for Gorge and his friends before he sat down on the bed and began to meditate on his divine mandate. Before Mars noticed it was already morning but alas he felt that he had made zero progress on his mandate, he felt disappointed for a moment before he shook his head and thought

'One step at a time... I'll get the mandate eventually...'

He knew that it wasn't going to be easy to from his divine mandate so he decided to take it one step at a time

'... Let's get ready for class'

Mars quickly switched gears and got ready for class by brushing his teeth before he made his way to the training field and sat down and continued his meditation until the students arrived, then he opened his eyes and stood up, or at least he was about to when he felt a stone getting thrown in his direction aimed at his head. Time slowed down for Mars as he quickly identified the student that had thrown the rock and caught it without opening his eyes

*Grind*

A low sound was heard that made the student that had thrown the rock freeze up as the dumb grin gradually disappeared from his face, Mars opened his eyes, stood up and walked over to the student before he said with a smile

”Hold out your hand”

”W-Why should I?”

”Because I'll kill you if you don't”

Mars released a moderate amount of killing intent as he spoke, the student instantly paled before he held out his trembling hand, Mars' smile widened slightly before he held out his hand and slowly let the rock dust fall down onto the hand of the student that began trembling even more

”You are no longer welcome in my class, leave”

Mars turned around and walked out in front of the students again before he spoke up

”I don't demand much from you, only that you do your best and show me the minimal amount of respect that I demand as a teacher... Now let's start class, everyone grab a wooden sword”

The class went on as usual with the students improving leaps and bounds in the short hour they had to train in, Mars went with the student's to grab breakfast before he went on to teach his next class which went without much trouble. Soon it was afternoon and Mars was preparing to teach his afternoon class when a teacher came to the training field and called out to him

”Mars do you got a second?”

”Sure, what do you need Henry?”

Mars recognised Henry from the teachers meeting

”We got a complaint from a student that you banned from your class”

”Ah right, the little shit that threw a rock at my head I assume?”
