Ria’s Perspective

After the break.

I went into the classroom….Full novel: Stars of the above — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

“Hey, class. Line up near the table.” Said Mrs. Celia.

She had organised her table with different coloured wrist-watches.

There were green, red, blue, orange, purple, white, and black.

They were all put together in one basket.

We all lined up, it was a U curve shape.

I was the ninth person in the line.

“As you move, I want to guys to put your hands in the basket and take one of the wrist watches in your hands. After that, go to a side where the group of people who have to the same colour as you are stationed.”

The boy who stated the line went up and took a watch.

He mixed between them before grabbing a wrist watch.

Before it began, Mrs. Celia made sure we couldn’t see the colours by hiding it with a cover sheet.

“A red , huh.” The first guys to go took out a red wrist watch.

“Stand at the edge of the classroom. Your people who choose the same colour as you will join you soon.”

The student moved near the door but closer to the magic board.

The person who went next was a girl.

Her name was Malina.

She walked up to the basket and placed her hand inside.

She also mixed it up with a gentle touch, then she grabbed a wrist watch.

It was a white coloured wrist watch.

Well, having that is a problem.

The amount of time it will take the wash that is unimaginable.

“Next…”

Another girl followed.

She also did the same thing as the first two people until it reached Eigi who was number seven.

He also walked up and grabbed a watch without mixing anything.

“I got a green,” he said after pulling out a watch.

Until then, nobody had been able to pull out a green.

Kakashi followed next, and he also had a green.

I managed to pull out a green too as Kakashi and Eigi.

There were seven students for each seven colours.

In our group, there were a total of four boys and three girls.

That was the tally of the group.

I watched the other groups to see how their groups were lined up.

All I watched, I noticed that all the other groups had the same numbers as us just different in genders.

In each three groups, there were about eleven boys to ten girls, but when I turned to see the other groups of three beside them, it switched.

This time, there were eleven girls and ten boys.

After the groups were made, we were given another challenge.

Choose a three man group: “These groups can be chosen either from your own wrist watch group or other group.”

“Uh… Mrs. Celia, why were the groups made in the first place?” Max asked.

“I am sorry but that information can’t be given casually. You must wait until due time.” She replied to him.

“…Alright…” Though that was the word he said, it didn’t really reach his eyes.

They were shallow and void.

“Well then, I must tell you guys to get ready for training. There is only five minutes left and I don’t think I can teach you anything.”

“Alright, Mrs.” The class responded.

An exam that will test individual ability, team-work, communication, problem solving and ability to adapt under any serious circumstances.

Is this that man’s plan to have Max expelled or a special exam enforced by the higher ups.

The odds of this happening while someone is on the line of getting expelled is way too serious.

The questions that roamed within my mind were endless.

What did Mac do?

What was his childhood like?

Did he run away from home?

Or, is his father, someone who will do anything in order to get his precious son back under any circumstances.

And, if that is the case then why not leave him here to learn about the kingdoms and most of all, learn from his mistakes.

This is one of the best ways to learn from life.

Mistakes and free tutors waiting for us to meet them head to head.

After finishing packing my bag, I turned to watch the class but everyone had already left.

“Looks like I was absurd in my internal thoughts that I didn’t see them leave or hear them. It’s natural. ”

I picked up my bag, opened it and placed each textbook provided to us by the king neatly and carefully.

Then, I zipped it up.

From there, I walked to the gym class.

“Hey, big brother.” Eva shouted as she passed by. Find the original chapter at g.com.

“Eva, how are you doing?”

Eva looked down at her body in check for any injuries and signs of illness but found nothing.

“I am perfectly fine, and you?”

“I am doing well.”

I changed my direction and started to walk her to her class.

“You have science class, right?”

“Yes, the one with the big door and the professor with the weird beard.”

“Oh, him.” Professor Roku.

A man who teaches at the royal academy, he has many titles which was earned by a special group of students who was said to be the most intelligent students the school had produced.

It was said that the queen there; Queen Cecilia recommended them to the royal academy.

But, intelligence, the people who I can call intelligent mostly rank about grade eleven high school level.

I am not saying that they are dumb, but compared to earth.

Even the most average person might be wealthy and stay wealthy if they play their cards right.

In this world, planning and execution is the most vital part of a plan.

After a minute, we reached Eva’s classroom and I went on to the gym.

“Heyya, loser. Come here.” Someone whom I haven’t seen called out to me but I pretended to not hear him.

“Are you deaf or something?” He asked.

But I still walked without turning back.

Seemed like he had enough.

He formed a punch in his right hand to swiftly threw it at me.

“Maybe, this can help you hear well.”

Without turning to see, I ducked under the punch and rose immediately after the punch missed.

I then tangled my arms around his, and lowered my centre of gravity.

I then slimmed him onto the ground.

“Maybe this will teach you basic human respect.”

He tried to get up and his young body wouldn’t allow it, he clearly needed help but I wasn’t about to do that.

“… Uh, excuse me. Someone fell on ground two, near the stairs he needs help.”

I turned to see a corner which was very well hidden.

A camera was there recording everything, but from the place where the fight went on, and the distance of which I threw the senior, the camera couldn’t have recorded anything since the distance was too far.

The senior fell over seven feet.

But the fight went on after I stepped down the last step.

And since the senior was the one who approached me first, the camera would have been able to capture anything since it is behind the stairs.
