Chapter 11: Ch.11- From the past

-Thalia Pov-

"Hey! Green-head! Come here"

 It was the first day of class, after putting a lot of effort, I managed to get into 'S class'. With this achievement, I'm now one step closer to my goal.

"What did you call me, bastard?"

"I said, come over!"

I can't believe my goal is now truly at my reach, I have to make sure to use this second opportunity. Aglaya.....I have to get closer to that girl.

"You bastard"

So noisy, why are these kids being so loud?... A dryad and a blonde human? Those must be Chrysopeleia and Leonart. I remember hearing about them in my past life. Leonart was the prince of Tarz, an arrogant bastard that died the day of the great calamity. While Chrysopeleia was one of the champions who protected the Holy City, she's truly admirable.

"Ghaa!"

Chrysopeleia threw the arrogant bastard on the ground, and created a knife of wood using magic, she nearly stabbed Leonart. Chrysopeleia pointed a dagger against his throat, little drops of blood started flowing out of his neck. His face turned pale.

So even at a young age, she was already this fierce, huh.

"H-help"

So pathetic...I wish he would learn his lesson from this, but knowing his future he won't...sigh~ There are only 2 more people here with me, and none of them will help him since they are elves. Elves and dryads get along really well, they won't help the human boy, instead they may even help her.

"Ah-h! My beautiful skin! You filthy Gre-"

The moment he said this, he got slapped by her and got quieted down instantly. That slap must have hurt, there was a lot of mana imbued on her hand. I wonder what she would do now, is she going to him apologize? I want to see that bastard begging for his li-

Suddenly, the door of the classroom opened, and the atmosphere changed instantly... Only one person could provoke such a change...Aglaya.

She entered inside the room and everyone fell silent, today she looked even more imposing that at the opening ceremony. After taking a look at the dryad and the human, she went straight towards one seat close to the window and sat there, her white haired maid followed her.

After the shock from her entrance was over, Chrysopeleia keep glaring at the boy with the dagger against his throat. Luckily for him, the real deal arrived, a red haired boy who would later become the Flames Emperor, Rhego the fire user.

I'm interested in what will happen next, but right now what matters is that girl...Aglaya. In the future, she will become the strongest mortal individual to have ever existed, to the point where even the demon lord fears her. But contrary to everyone expectations she won't do anything, she won't fight nor save humanity, instead she will observe from her tower how we slowly die. Countless times the Saint have asked for her help, and countless times she ignored her. The only thing she had protected was her own kingdom, anything else was irrelevant for her.

Now that I come back to the past thanks to divine grace, I have to convince her to fight with us, or at least just learn the secret of her strength, otherwise humanity...no...the world would surely perish. As the only regressor, I'm the last chance of this world. I need to save this world, no matter what it takes.

***

After the teacher interrupted the fight between Chrysopeleia and Rhego, he decided to make the class in the coliseum, now we would not have to face each other in order to reduce tensions. 

This teacher will be known in the future as the biggest strategist in humanity history, there is probably more to this decision than the surface shows. I wonder what he is planning.

"Who wants to go first?"

Mmm...maybe if I show my abilities, Aglaya notice me.

"I will go first"

"Good, who wants to fight with Thalia?"

"I will" An dark male elf said, he had a long black ponytail, and just like every elf he was handsome. His name is Leopold, he's a martial artist, and also a member of the future holy guard.

After getting ready, we face each other in the arena. If I win this match, then I might get noticed, but if I lose...

Sometimes I wonder why was I regressed to the past, there are people a lot more qualified than me. I was just your average soldier, yet here I am, the goddess chose me and now the fate of this world is in my back. I can't let her down!

"Fight!"

And with those words, our battle began.

He uses magic, while I use a combination of sword and magecraft. If I want to win, I need to do it before he manages to cast a tier 1 spell, which would be impossible without preparation.

I started by rushing toward him with all my might, while unleashing a barrage of short blades of wind. This move isn't as strong as the one I used in my previous life, however it still has its advantages. If someone gets hit by a blade of wind, even if they have a magic barrier, their defense would be lowered, making it easier for me to attack.

Leopold blocked the strike with earth magic, and countered me a quick punch that I barely avoided. I didn't expect him to actually use physical attacks, as expected of someone from 'S class'.

Rapidly, I retreat before he could continue his attack, and keep using my blade of winds on him. He wasn't able to defend himself well since he was busy casting a tier 1 spell. I kept attacking him until he was cornered on the edge of the arena, and this was when I finally manage to land a blow to his head.

"Hah!"

Luckily, this sword is for practice, otherwise his head would be cut off.

"Good job, the two of you fought well. Who wants to go next?"

Aglaya did you see that? I won against a future holy guard. Are you interested in me now? 

Ehh...she isn't even looking........

"I'll go next"

"Oh? I see, who wants to fight Leonart"

"Me"

"Alright then"

Leonart was chosen to fight next. He was against one dark male elf, I think it goes without saying that he was humiliated, how did he even get in this school?

"Your techniques aren't bad, but you lack determination and experience. Leonart, I hope you learn from this fight."

"Ugh..."

"Who wants to go next?"

"I will go" Chrysopeleia, the dryad said while looking at the red haired boy. It was clear what was the next fight, but somehow it ended being a totally different from what I was expecting. The red haired boy, Rhego, will fight the archemage, Aglaya. A totally unexpected result.

"Miss, please go easy on him" The maid said to her.

How strong is Aglaya at this age? It can't be that impressive yet, after all she is only 10 right now, it's easy to forget because she looks like a 13 years old.

I don't think she can win that easily against the next Flames Emperor...

***

She won that easily...No way. Just how strong is she already? He didn't even have a chance, she just kept tossing him around in the air, how can see cast air magic that powerful at such a young age? No...that not important, what is important is that she was going to kill him. Luckily the teacher, seeing her gaze full of murderous intent, stopped the fight before something went wrong, that gaze was terrifying, it felt like I was back on hell. 

Rhego wasn't able to stand anymore, and collapsed on the floor some seconds after crossing eyes with her. Where does that pressure come from? Her mental state must be truly abnormal.

I need to get her in humanity side, if I can do that, then I have a high possibility of succeeding in archiving my goal, saving humanity.

I absolutely need her to notice me!
