Chapter 71: 71 – This Is Tedious.

Arriving in the schoolyard, the teacher placed all the students in the center of it, stood in front of us, and began to explain how his class would work.

"See that little room over there, inside there are all the weapons you need, first go there and choose the weapon you prefer. Of course, all weapons are made of wood." I think it's understandable.

But I confess it would be fun if they were real guns.

After that, he allowed us to go into the room, so everyone started choosing his weapon of choice, and of course, I chose a one-handed sword. The room had every weapon that existed.

Bows, swords of all kinds, spears, mace, and every kind of weapon that an adventurer or warrior would use.

And as I thought, most students took swords as it was not only lighter but also easier to use for a beginner. Well, in my opinion, the easiest weapon would be a mace, but I think that's okay.

Bertga had taken a one-handed sword like me, while Elinas had taken a big two-handed sword, he is brave. He didn't have a very muscular body, and his strength isn't that great, I'm sure he'll give up as soon as he holds a real sword.

What surprised me the most was that the two twin brothers took spears, they seemed to like this weapon. They just need to realize that if they're going to venture out together in the future, they won't need two spears.

Annea had chosen a bow. Like the other weapons, the tips of the bows were made of wood, but it was still dangerous. Depending on the strength of the person, a wooden-tipped arrow can easily pierce a person.

And after everyone had taken their weapons, we headed back to the center of the courtyard where the professor was waiting for us.

Noting that most people had taken swords, he looked happy.

"So most of you chose a sword, this will be fun. Now come on, you who took spears go to that way, you who took maces stay in the center, and you with swords go that way."

After that, he started to separate all the people by their weapons, but he had forgotten one thing.

"Teacher, what about me?" It was Annea. Since he hadn't said anything about bows, she continued to stand, not knowing where to go.

"You can stay here downtown, actually come with me." The teacher went into the weapons room and then came out holding a target made of wood and paint: "You can practice hitting this thing, then I'll come here to see how you are, good luck."

As he spoke a little loud, everyone could hear what he said, and everyone was looking at him and thinking "Really?"

This guy was lousy, he didn't know how to teach someone.

"So first you here downtown, step away from each other and start spinning this thing until you're tired, then I'll come here to give you another exercise."

Right~~

As the students could not object, they backed away and began twirling their maces with all their might. Many of them were already tired from the start, this is painful to watch.

"Now you here who are holding spears. Get away from each other and start lunging, don't stop doing that until I say it, even if your arms are breaking, understand?" The children who had chosen a spear already seemed to regret it.

Then the professor came to the largest group who were holding swords. Elinas was among us because he used a sword despite it being a two-handed sword.

"Now, I want to see you swing your swords until your arms break. Especially you there who took this two-handed sword, are you an idiot by any chance?" Yeah, I think he's an idiot too.

And after we got organized, everyone started swinging their wooden sword up and down holding both hands. Despite being a one-handed sword, everyone was doing it that way.

I was already swinging my sword using only one hand, as I was used to it.

The sword was very light, so light I barely felt its weight.

I felt the teacher look directly at me, but he didn't say anything as he knew I was doing it right. After that, he went away and left us there swinging our swords.

This was tedious. I thought we were going to have some kind of mock battle, but I was wrong.

Well, I'm still in my first year, when will I have something fun to do around here? Maybe I should check out the other classes?

######

Has it been a long time since then, maybe almost an hour? Many people had already given up on swinging their swords, and students who used a mace and spears had long ago given up.

Few students like me, Bertga, and Elinas continued to swing their swords. I was very surprised that they both managed to stay upright even doing this for so long, especially Elinas who was using a two-handed sword.

But they looked like they wouldn't hold out for long.

A few other boys and Isabell also managed to keep up swinging their swords, but looking at the number of students, it was a very low and disheartening number.

But if the professor didn't stop this now, maybe just Isabell and I would keep swinging our sword.

"Okay, okay. You can stop now." I just thought that and he took action.

The teacher approached the group of students who used a sword: "What a shame. Even though it's such a light sword you guys got so tired, but... I'm a little surprised that some of you managed to do this for so long."

"Haaa~~ I thought I was going to die." Bertga finally seemed to have reached his limit and dropped to the ground. He lay down and began to breathe heavily. The teacher looked at him and just smiled, he didn't seem to mind.

"You who have remained standing, come with me. And you who didn't make it, rest. You're going to do twice as many exercises later"

Hearing this, many students were discouraged, probably half of them were already thinking about dropping out of these classes. To be honest, if they did that, I would consider them very weak, I hope that doesn't happen.

But from the level of students at this school, I can imagine that happening.

After placing myself, Bertga, Elinas, Isabell, and three other boys in the center of the courtyard, the teacher asked the other students to rest on the grass around the courtyard.

Professor also went to Annea and analyzed a bit how she was using her bow, and he seemed to be happy with what he was seeing. Looking from a distance, I could see that she had enough talent for using a bow.

She is the only volunteered to use one, I enjoy watching this kind of training.

And about the two twin brothers, they were in the group that couldn't keep up and nearly passed out from fatigue.

'What will happen now? Will it finally start to get interesting?" After everyone was outside, the professor approached us.

"Okay, you were the only ones left today, but I hope that number will increase over time. This year's students seem to be even worse off than the ones from the previous year and that puts me off a lot."

'Isn't that a little too rude?'

"But that aside, there are two very interesting people here, you didn't even break a sweat, do you two do some kind of training? Hm?" The teacher approached me and Isabell as well.

"Yes, I train since I was little." Isabell was the first to respond, and since I knew the truth about her strength and age, I almost laughed at her response.

"And you?"

"I also train since I was little. As I have adventurous parents, I think it's the least that could happen." It wasn't a lie, it could easily happen.

"Um, I understand. Who are your parents?" Is that something a teacher asks? He can just look it up in my school records if there is such a thing.

"My mother is called Emma and my father is called Lucio."

"Got it, so you're the son of those bastards."

"Hm? What did you say about my parents?" Does he have the courage to say something like that upfront?

I looked at him. I was staring at him as if he wanted to kill him, seeing that he walked away from a little, the teacher looked scared.

"It's not that, it was just a way of speaking. Like his parents I was also an adventurer, I even met them many times. Are they still living in that village?"

"Yes, my family still lives there."

"I see…Hmm…So, now let's get down to business. You guys who managed to keep up until the end without fainting from fatigue, will have the pleasure of having a battle with me, what do you think? Fighting with a teacher as good as me."

Urgh, this guy is annoying.

Everyone looked at him like he was a very strange person, but everyone except me and Isabell was nervous.
