Chapter 4 (4): Orientation
Two days passed, and I woke up at dawn of the day that classes started with Elise on my right while Ver, who'd grown to thrice her original size, was partially lying on my stomach, both of them taking a drink, Elise's massive breasts bared with my arm pinned between them, and my other arm being used as Char's pillow. I gently woke her up, and we left for classes after getting ready. Together, we walked to the large training field where orientation would be held, Ver following us like a loyal puppy.
”Greetings to you forty promising students. You may already know me, but I'm Elizabeth Greywood, the SS rank adventurer in charge of this school. In other words, I'm the headmistress here. Now, I will explain once more how your schedules and classes will be like, introduce the teachers, and then you will go to your respective first classes of the day. There, you will all introduce yourselves, and receive a demonstration of the teacher's skill, as well as have a mock battle with your teacher to allow them to determine what parts of your technique needs work, and to allow your classmates to know what you are capable of” (HM)
The teachers went around to us, handing us our schedules, and then she continued.
”Now, you all hold your schedules. For those of you with a lot of classes... I'm looking at you, Ryuu... I wish you luck. You'll need it, as you'll be in classes from an hour past dawn to maybe three, or in the case of the aforementioned crazy girl Ryuu, five hours past noon. For those of you in the majority, the ones with only one or two classes, you'll be in classes from an hour past dawn to noon, and then will have lessons on how to fight against other types of foes in the afternoon. That building teaches sword, staff, and spear, that one is for most magic, that one for more specialized magics, like healing, spatial, and so on, that building is for archery, dagger, and axe classes, and that one there is the cafeteria, for those who only got here today” (HM)
A large group of men and women walked to stand or sit behind the headmistress, and came forward when called.
”Now, for the teachers, we have some who'd rather just be called by the classes they teach. First, we have the teacher of our classes on the axe, mace, hammer, and so on, Mr Axe” (HM)
”Hello to you all. As you can see, I'm a dwarf, meaning that, while I'm over a hundred years old, I'm still in the prime of my life. Unfortunately, we only have four people in my class, including the crazy Ryuu. I look forward to working with you, save for her. Ryuu, I'm still sore about that trick you used to hit me, so don't expect me to be as nice to you as I am to your classmates. You see, you broke my arm, so I'm going to have to hire some helpers for the practical portions of my classes for a while. For that, you will know hell” (Axe)
”Mr Axe, please remember that you are a teacher, not a drill sergeant. Keep your behavior to those standards, thank you very much. *ahem* Now, we have the teacher of the archery class, Aaron” (HM)
”Greetings to you all. There are nine people in my class, but I do have a helper, for when I need her and she's not busy with her other classes. You'll meet her when it's time, I guess. I'm an S rank, by the way” (Aaron)
”For the dagger class, a group of two students, we have Shino, an A rank adventurer, though her skills in head on combat are only on par with a B rank. Even so, most dagger users aren't going to fight head on” (HM)
”It's nice to meet you. Try not to let me catch you in a position where I could place a dagger on your neck by the time I'm done with you” (Shino)
”Uh... right... Teaching the sword, we have our other unnamed teacher, Mr Sword” (HM)
”I'm a former A rank adventurer, before I decided to retire to raise my kids. Now, I teach here, and I prided myself on my speed, until that pride got shattered in the entrance exam. My class has the most here, at 22. This means that I have enlisted some helpers, the A rank triplets Fred, Kyle, and Jeorge” (Sword)
”Teaching the spear, the S ranked Alicia, also known as the Green Gale” (HM)
”It's a pleasure to meet you, my nine students. Ryuu, please try to keep your fighting to a more standard style while you're in my class. I may have the long life of an elf, but it feels like you shaved a few years off of it when you were in my exam” (Alicia)
