'This year is going to be interesting. '
Izana woke up from his sleep and went to freshen up.
Looking at the room he couldn't help but say " It looks so cool. " The room was spacious, able to take all four beds and still have plenty space. By the side of all the beds was a table were the students could do what they want on it.
The walls were painted in a calm blue colour, not being as bright as red and as dull as black. There was also a clean bathroom in the room with a WC! "It seems the WC was spread widely. I thought it was a luxury item only for nobles. "
The reason Izana wasn't shocked was because he had seen it before in his family's house. Back then he was so shocked and almost fainted.
He asked his grandpa "what it was" and Not told him that it was a WC and it was introduced to their world by the summoned heroes, yes heroes summoned from another world.
Long ago when the demon empire was actively attacking the four Kingdoms. The Kingdoms looked for ways to defeat them and one day a scholar found a ruin with text from the old.
After the text was interpreted they found a guide to create a summoning circle that will summon heroes from another world. At first they were hesitant not fully trusting the text but when the demons increased their attacks they had no other choice. All four Kingdoms summoned the heroes at the center between their kingdoms, the place is now known as the Heroes Centre.
Then the heroes defeated the demon Lord you know, the classic cliché isekai battle.
After freshening up, Izana wore his uniform, made of luxurious magic threads the uniform has a self regenerative property, as expected of the number one school in the kingdom.
He stepped out of the room with Sasaki.
They walked side by side enjoying the tranquil morning, birds chirped as the morning sun rose. For a while silence engulfed them.
'This is so awkward, I don't have anything to say. It's usually Scarlett that starts our conversations. Am I an Introvert! ' Izana wide eyed in shock.
While Izana was having a mental battle, he heard a voice from his side.
"I didn't think the competition this year would be this fierce but. " He turned to look at me, his black eyes reflected the sun, wind blew causing his hair to flow in the wind. "I will still be the strongest. " He said with confidence.
Izana only had one thought on his mind 'Cool! '
He look at Sasaki, face serious. "I'm not going to make it easy for any of you. I will be the strongest. "
"I expect no less from you Izana Raiden. " Sasaki said then continued walking.
The silence came again but this time it was less oppressive and more comforting.
When they reached class 1-S others were already in the class.
As they entered all eyes fell on them as silence filled the class.
"Izana! " Scarlett waved at him.
"Yo Scarlett. " Izana walked towards her followed by Sasaki.
His movement was noticed by many whispers flew by around the classroom.
"To think the first pillar is friends with the second and third pillar. "
"So the rumours are true. "
"What rumours? "
"I heard from someone the Izana has bagged Scarlett before even school has even started. " The guy replied.
"No way, is he that smooth. "
"He has the Raiden genes in him alright. "
Izana couldn't help but twitch his eyelids as he overheard the conversation, Sasaki tried to hold back his laughter, while Scarlett burst in to laughter.
The students who were gossiping realised they were overheard and apologised quickly.
A few minutes later and all the students had arrived, everyone engaging in chatter, getting to know each other but a few were quiet, observing everyone with cold eyes unknown thoughts forming in their heads.
"Oi, stop the chatter " A voice was heard from the front of the class.
Gasps of shock filled the room as a tall man in a black shirt with black trousers that matched his dark hair and dark eyes. His eyes were cold, the type that was gotten over years of seeing brutal killings and other violent activities.
"This world isn't all fun and games you will see death of both monsters and humans. " His calm words instantly silenced the class.
"Good Now that you are all silent let me introduce myself. " He said in the same calm voice. "My name is Bryce Luveil and I the teacher for class 1-S which is your class. "He pointed at them "My job is to train you all into seasoned fighters so that when you see a demon or monster you don't become their food, got it.
Your class us different from the rest, more "special" meaning you have more combat oriented classes than the theoretical classes.
Oh and please don't think that because you are in this class means you can take it easy. I've set a mark if any of you fail to reach it then I'll kick you out of my class. This is a class for growth if you can't grow then you aren't cut out for it. " His words cut through their excitement like a knife.
"Good Now that it seems you know your positions we are going to have your first practical lesson tomorrow and you all will be facing monsters, monsters that are going for the kill, monsters you have to kill and unlike the exams you just had these beasts bleed blood. "
Gasps filled the room as they thought about the battle ahead. Not everyone was like Izana whom had fought monsters and and seen monsters blood. Some hadn't fought monsters in their life.
The monsters in the entrance test were elemental constructs shaped to look like monsters, they didn't bleed. Although the constructs are weaker than beasts of the same rank they are still good test equipments.
"He's a mad man. " A student whispered.
"You may think I'm mad but once you experience war you will understand that those who survive wars aren't the most honourable or most qualified No, it's the most brutal, smart and a little bit crazy that survive. War isn't a child's game, war is danger.
But that's why I'm here, I will drill you all, you will go through tumultuous training sessions and practical exercises I don't care if you hate me I'll keep doing it till you have even a small chance of surviving the battles ahead so I want to ask who is ready for school. " His voice echoed in the silence then as if possessed the cheers begun.
"Today you will have special training. " He smiled then walked out of the class.
"What a speech. I feel fired up "
Classes continued for the day with mostly theory classes and a few joint classes between all the classes of the first year.
"Gather up! Time for training! " Bryce voice was heard as he walked towards a training gym.
"Since thus is our first training session I want you all to try everything in this room and keep going at it till you drop. In simple terms I want to see your limits. "
"Eh! " The class responded in unison.
Evening quickly came.
A crowd of battered youths walked away from the gym. They had just finished their first training session and they were rethinking their decision.
This was the first year special class or class 1-S for short.
"I felt death breathing down my neck. " Sasaki said, his word barely audible and shaky.
"S-Same... " By his side was Izana who looked tattered he could hardly walk well.
"Luckily the nurse's office is close by or else I don't think i would have made it there. " Izana said.
Their teacher Bryce true to his word showed them a different level of training repeatedly pushing them to their breaking point, and sadly for them this was just the start of it.
