âRen? Arenât you supposed to be back in your real body? Why are you still here,â Aegir asked Oz, confused. After the meeting, everyone went back to their own places to manage their territories. Oz supposed to be back to his body, but in the morning, Aegir surprisingly found Ozâs goblin [King] clone walking around with intelligence still shone from its eyes.
âWhat? This is the surprise Iâm talking about yesterday,â Ozâs goblin [King] clone said as he smirked.
âSurprise?â (Aegir)
âYup,â Suddenly, Ozâs lich [King] clone answered behind Aegir.
âW-what the!?â Aegir got surprised by the sudden appearance of the lich [King] clone of Oz, but the fact that both of the clones have an intelligence shone from both of its eyes ass if both of them are a different person made Aegir surprised more.
âWhat, surprised already? Well, I got another surprise for you,â Another voice appeared, but Aegir is very familiar with this voice, itâs Ozâs voice when heâs at his human form.
Aegir turned his head, and itâs truly Oz with his real form.
âR-ren? Why are you in that form? Wait wait wait, why are there three Ren with different forms suddenly appeared?â (Aegir)
âHAHAHAHA, donât freak out, Aegir. Itâs just that I got some new skills, with the new skills I acquired, I could now split my consciousness and handle all of my clones as if they had their own consciousness,â (Oz)
âBut that body,â (Aegir)
âAh! This is my slime clone, as this is a slime, I imitate my own body with its skills, now the people will recognize their emperor real face, and I could manage the empire all the time!â Said Oz enthusiastically.
âGreat! With your presence here, we could boost a lot of things!â (Aegir)
**********************************
âAvalon Magic Academyâs Pharmacy, Grandaria Kingdomâ
The pharmacy patient room is huge and luxurious like an expensive inn. Oz had already taken a shower and is waiting for Albuth and others to come to visit him again.
(Another 3 days until the first class, huh) (Oz)
Suddenly the roomâs door got opened, and Albusâs cheerful voice appeared.
âYo! Ren! Youâre awake!â Together with Albusâs voice, Alfred, Azaline, Sen, and Peter entered the room.
âYea, I am. Doesnât the first-class start in three days? Then where are we going today?â Asked Oz.
âYes indeed, the class will start in three days, but the dormitory division will start today at the gathering, you donât think that you may stay longer just because itâs so luxurious,â (Albus)
âThatâs trueâ¦â (Oz)
âThen follow us, quick, theyâll start soon!â (Albus)
Oz and co went to the magic academyâs hall by Albusâs lead. The magic academyâs hall is huge, and when Oz and co had just arrived, almost all of the magic academy students had already gathered at the hall, thousands of the magic academy students present.
âThere! Thereâs the seat for the people of the special class!â Albus pointed a place that nearest the stage.
âLetâs go then,â (Peter)
âHey, thatâs the headmasterâs grandson, Albus, right?â
âThat. Isnât that Sen, the merciless?â
âThatâs the Gorgeous Bard, Edreale? Sheâs so cute!â
âThatâs Alfred, the shadow! Heâs so cool!â
âSeriously, you guys are so popular,â Ren couldnât help but have a wry smile at his face as it felt awkward to walk together with famous people.
âWeâre the same, Ren,â (Peter)
âIâm grateful youâre here, Peter,â (Oz)
âS-seriously, we donât even know weâre that famous ourselves,â (Alfred)
As if theyâre a celebrity, all attention went to Alfred, Sen, Albus, and Edreale when they entered the hall. Everyone praised and adores him, but some people hate the fact that they are walking together with the unknown Peter and Oz.
âWho is that? Does the magic academy accepted a commoner here?â
âWhy does sir Albus wanted to befriend with such filthy commoners?
âHow could they even dare to show up themselves in front of us, nobles?â
(Those annoying brats! Summon me, master! Iâll teach them a lesson!) (Reo)
(yea master! Iâll shred them to pieces!) (Fenrir)
(Relax, both of you. Theyâre just kids) (Oz)
A sword saint rank is a high rank that is very difficult to enter, but strangely, this year, the magic academy got 34 sword saints entered as freshmen, a lot of geniuses appeared, and most of them are from the noble family.
Oz and co pretended they donât hear them and continue to walk to the special class seating section.
âYou peasant, how dare you to show off your face and sully this noble ground with your presence? Do you have no shame?â A blonde-haired kid with a robust body and arrogant behavior stopped Oz.
But Oz just stared at the kidâs face indifferently as if he didnât hear anything.
(Heâs in the sword saint rank too, so heâs also one of the special classâs student, huh) (Oz)
âYou lowly peasant! How dare you ignore me!â The young noble about to draw his sword, a voice cut in.
âBrandon, could you be silent, and donât disturb him?â Everyoneâs surprised with the owner of the voice that suddenly cut in, itâs the one that called the âIce Princessâ, everyoneâs surprised as to why the cold princess stopped the son of the most powerful duke at the kingdom for Oz.
âP-princess⦠Sorry for my rude behavior, but I think itâs not appropriate for him-â (Brandon)
âSilence, he got far more worth than you think,â The ice princess coldly said.
âW-w-w-w-wha-â Before Brandon could rebuke in a rage because of the insult, the time for the gathering had already started.
Cough!
âAttention!â The headmaster of Avalon magic academy and the magic god of the kingdom, Oxius Theodore, went up to the stage and took everyoneâs attention. When the magic god said the word, everyone in the hall immediately went silent.
âWelcome and congratulation on being accepted at the Avalon magic academy! Applause for all of your success!â (Oxius)
*Sound of Applause*
âToday, after discussing, we finally decided on which dormitory each class will be,â (Oxius)
âAll of the classes will be led by their homeroom instructor and will be explained by them except for the special class. The normal classes will be at the usual dormitory of the academy, but the special class will be put at another place, and Iâll be leading all of you myself,â (Oxius)
(What? Heâs going to lead us? Does it mean the magic god is our homeroom instructor?) (Oz)
âWhile weâre still here, Iâll explain some things about the classes. The normal classes will still hold some theoretical classes such as mana understanding and other classes. But the special class will do more practical classes, and there will be some missions given to the special class,â (Oxius)
âThe normal classes will also get some missions, but youâll only get it after studying for a half-year here. Remember, youâre not inferior to the special class, but youâre here to be more superior than them, and your teachers will give you lessons and teach you for it,â (Oxius)
âThe nobility system of the kingdom didnât have any effects at the magic academy, we only acknowledge people who have power, who have spirit, and have the guts to break their limits,â (Oxius)
âUsing your power of prestige at the magic academy will give you a harsh punishment, and not even your parents will be able to help you if we decide to punish you, so do your best, and fight to improve,â (Oxius)
âThanks for listening, instructors, you may lead your classes and show them their dormitory,â Oxius asked the instructors. The instructors stand and started to call out their class names and lead them to the dormitory.
âFor the special class students, follow me,â Oxius step down the stage, and lead them outside the magic academy. When they exited the magic academy from the huge gate, the headmaster suddenly stopped.
âWhere is the dormitory, headmaster?â One of the students asked the headmaster.
â34 sword saints, huh. All of you had a strong and great amount of mana,â Oxius the headmaster said with a satisfied smile.
âYes, headmaster. Weâre grateful for your praise, but why does the academy let this lowly peasant with a mere master swordsman rank join our class?â Said Brandon arrogantly.
(This brat, heâs searching for trouble again) (Fenrir)
âCan I kill this guy?â Asked Edreale as she almost let her murderous intent leak.
âDonât do that, Edreale. I donât want to flee from this kingdom as the killer of a son of a noble just when we had entered the magic academy,â (Oz)
âOi, peasant! You-â (Brandon)
âShut up, spoiled kid. Or I silence you by force,â Said the usually aloof Alfred, with an unusually serious expression.
âAlfred-â (Oz)
âHohohoho! You can try fighting the peasant you so despise of later, when we reach your dormitory, all of us will be the witness of your fight! Hohohoho1â The headmaster answered while having a strange cheerful expression.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThank you, headmaster! Hmph! Iâll show you that even if you befriend the four sword saints and one archmage, you still donât belong at this place!â Brandon snorted.
âThen itâs settled,â (Oxius)
âWait, I havenât even accepted,â (Oz)
âHohohoho!â (Oxius)
(This old geezerâ¦.) (Oz)
