CHAPTER - 21
Students: I can’t do it… I feel like my mana vanishes the moment I try to bring it into my hand!
Fin: (Tired thinking) I have to try harder…
The professor said there’s no rush. Maybe he meant that it takes time and isn’t that easy?
That would make sense. I’ll rest a bit to recover my mana and then start again… and again.
I’M DYING…!
Bring me a bed, guys, your dear Fin is dying!
Students: Shut up, we’re busy!
Fin: Pff…
(Looking at Dav) The professor is really that good and strong!
Dav: Leo, relax and keep your back straight.
Don’t rush it, you’ll get there soon enough.
Leo: (With determination thinking) I will do it.
~ 55 minutes later ~
Dav: Alright, now take some swords, form teams of two, and start practicing thrusts and parries with each other.
Fin, Leo—you’ll be in the same team.
Gabriel, Elysia—you’ll be in the same team.
It is strictly forbidden to use Aura or Mana.
Begin!
Would you like to team up with me today, Professor Eldrin Voss?
Professor Eldrin Voss: Just don’t try to kill me! HAHAHA!

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Narrator: Everyone continued their training without unnecessary chatter, focusing on their techniques to avoid wasting energy. Everyone except two.
Gabriel: You’re really strong! You’re an A-rank, right?
Elysia: Less talking, more focus.
It must be easy for you, though—you’re A+, right?
(Gabriel stopped, looking at her seriously.)
Gabriel: I didn’t mean to offend you…
but your thrusts are impressive, and your parries are flawless.
Elysia: My fault, I misunderstood.
(Tsundere mode activated)
Gabriel: Wanna go all out?
Elysia: Fine, bring it on!
Narrator: And so, they began fighting, creating chaos that disturbed the other students.
Their blades clashed violently, the air trembled under the force of their strikes.
Deeply focused, they unconsciously released their auras, kicking up dust and leaving craters where their strongest blows landed.
Dav: If I’m not mistaken, I clearly told you not to use Aura or Mana, didn’t I?!
As punishment, you’ll run 10 laps around the field. And if I see you stop for even a second, my magic circles will strike you until you die.
(with a devilish grin): Don’t worry, I’ll heal you up… and then make you start over. Again… and again!
Narrator: Saddened by their punishment, Gabriel and Elysia started running without stopping, trying to stay focused.
Dav (thinking to himself): That’s exactly what I wanted… I put them together for this reason, AHAHA!
Professor Eldrin Voss: (Smiling to himself, amused) He did that on purpose… so he could watch their proud personalities clash. He’s a demon.
Dav (shouting): Hey, you two! Did I say to take a stroll or to run!? Move it! Take this, you bastards
Low-Level Attack Magic Circle – 2 Circles!.
I suggest you run fast enough not to get hit… or you’ll end up dead!
Gabriel: Shit!… I’m your brother, remember?! What kind of treatment is this?!
Elysia: Damn!! That almost got me! Stay out of my way, or we’ll both get killed!
Dav (yelling): Run, you little shits! Less talking!
Narrator: The other students, traumatized by the scene, remained silent, continuing their sword training in terror as they watched how the professor treated even his own brother with the same harshness as the rest.
~ 50 minutes later ~
Dav: Go clean yourselves up and head to lunch!
(Drooling) I asked Miss Iris to make me a nice cutlet with green beans and potatoes… I need to hurry, or it’ll get cold!
(thinking to himself) fuck these screw these brats… I’m out of here!
(turning to Professor Eldrin Voss with a disgustingly serious face) Professor, could you make sure everyone leaves?
I… have important business and can’t be late.
Professor Eldrin Voss: Don’t worry! And thanks again for stopping the fight between those two!
Dav (walking away, deep in thought): I’m coming, my warm meal!
Narrator: Poor Miss Iris… He only thinks about food…
When he arrived at the cafeteria, he desperately searched for Miss Iris.
Iris: Professor! I’m here!
(Miss Iris entered with a smile and a steaming teapot.)
Here’s your hot meal and fresh green tea, professor.
Dav (sighing in relief): Miss Iris, are you sure you’re not my guardian angel?
How would I survive a day with those kids without your food?
Iris (blushing like a tomato, with an embarrassed smile): I’ll be going now…
Don’t forget to tell me what you’d like for tomorrow, professor!
(She hurried away, covering her face with her hand.)
Dav (looking at the plate and tea with an ecstatic expression): This is really so good!
The tea isn’t just some supermarket brand…
She made it herself!
Narrator: Once again, Elysia approached his table and sat beside him.
They ate in silence, the sound of their plates mingling with the soft sipping of tea.
No words were exchanged—only the comfort of a meal that marked the end of the day.
