Finally, on the fifth day of this week, our class finally... gathered most of the students, except for one who's drawing, one who's playing the accordion, and one who's a master of... no, a disciple of a sword saint who hasn't joined the class yet. Apart from them, everyone else showed up in class.
So, in this class that has been in session for who knows how long, the first session of self-introductions finally began. Although most of the students here are from noble families who keep a low profile, there are still a few unique individuals.
"Everyone, pay attention. We have two special students in our class. Remember to take care of each other. Firstly, Oyado may look mature, but she's only seven years old, please do not bully her."
As soon as I finished speaking, the classroom fell silent, most people looked at me with expressions of "Are you kidding me?"
Not surprising, as most people probably already know about Oyado's skills. Although there hasn't been any actual confrontation, those who have seen Oyado in action have spread tales of her abilities. The general consensus was probably, "Don't even think about bullying her, if she doesn't come to bully us, we should consider ourselves lucky."
Well, that's pretty much the actual situation, but I believe the girl playing chess in the corner and the other girl staring at Oyado with curiosity might be up for a showdown.
Of course, if Oyado doesn't make the first move.
As for Shelley and Ona's combat capabilities, I haven't seen or heard much, but Fran's assessment of Ona's combat ability is certain, which means it might be good, but we'll have to wait for practical class to find out.
However, even if we gather them all, whether they can cooperate is another question, after all, this isn't about collecting ship girls, where you can just form a team with them.
And those ship girls, even if you tell them to attack the flagship, they might not. Not to mention in this class of scattered individuals.
Well, in times like this, I can only stick to the usual way, generally setting a goal for them is the better approach, and the simplest way to set a goal is to spark their anger or something.
I'm not saying I want to pick a fight with them.
"And here we have the shy novice nun, Sally, who's only 10 years old, please take care of her too."
"H-Hello everyone..."
As I introduced her, Sally nervously greeted, looking very adorable.
But both Oyado and I were probably breaking out in a cold sweat now; do you realize there might be the strongest among us right in front of your eyes? If I couldn't resurrect, I would never provoke someone like her.
And with such a cute appearance as a cover, I'm already not sure what expression to show.
Judging from everyone's expressions, they seemed to believe Sally's words, well, there's no harm in believing her for now.
And according to Sally herself, she will only use light magic until facing absolute danger, meaning it's basically impossible to make her expose herself.
Well, anyway, as long as the task is completed properly, it's fine. As for motivation and all that…
I have no choice but to put on a stern face and educate them properly.
But Ona... although she is quite young, so she didn't want me to introduce her like that, she simply mentioned her name and then looked out the window. I guess, who knows if she's just being aloof.
———————————— Next comes the boring class time——————————————
Indeed, no matter where it is, theoretical teaching in classes is not something that's very appealing, making everyone drowsy throughout the morning.
Except for the one playing chess.
When we moved to the practical field in the afternoon, everyone's reaction noticeably improved.
This is a good thing, it means these students quite enjoy the active type, except for a few more introverted ones, the rest are doing pretty well.
"Alright, alright, my personal teaching habit is... you practice with each other, pick your own partner, go all out in battle, it doesn't matter, with the battle enchantment, whatever you want to happen won't, so go ahead and use it without worry."
Hmm, after the update, the battle enchantment no longer requires the supervisor's magic to control, but directly connects to a terminal with interchangeable magic stones, the benefit being that the supervisor teacher's magic limit is no longer a condition restricting students' moves. And multiple battle enchantments can be used simultaneously.
This saved me quite a bit of trouble, thanks to the hardworking Blue Moon supplier.
However, the students in my previous class... no, under my guidance... have started to learn to cooperate a bit. At this point, if they coordinate in battle, they shouldn't have a problem facing a refined mercenary team.
"But since we have a number of newcomers today, I'd really like to see their skills, but looking one by one would be inefficient, so, how about a four versus four matchup?"
"Four versus four?"
Alyxicia smirked at me.
"Teacher, your preferences are really something, 8p sounds terrifying."
"If your imagination is so rich, why not write a novel?"
"I don't have the patience for sensual novels~"
"Why jump straight into sensual novels from the start... oh well. Anyway, group yourselves."
"Alright, to show you how good I am. Well, it's all the same anyway. That one playing chess over there, the gloomy one, and the one with the iron arm, let's team up, the other side with those four clearly have good chemistry together, let's not split them up~"
She was referring to the Herd and Melordo on the opposite side, along with Madol from the Marshall family. Cher and Anne were a good magic combination, and the two from the Somerlundor family were also good together, but the first four had already stepped up, clearly eager to compete.
Hey, I didn't raise you guys to be so competitive, although I think it's not bad.
Sally wasn't singled out, it seems everyone has accepted not to bully her.
Well, that's good too, otherwise, just her healing ability alone could drive you all crazy.
I adjusted the terminal next to me slightly, combining the two battle enchantments on the ground to form a larger one.
"Alright, you guys go in and get ready, let me see your strength first."
"Don't worry, I can handle it alone. Hey, you guys, put on these gas masks, otherwise my potions will knock you all out later."
As Aliceshia spoke, she took out three gas masks from her ring.
To be honest, the design of these masks really resembles the gas masks from our original world, I wonder if someone has copied them.
"Hmph, why not just attack directly, using poison or something, it's simply a disgrace to the nobility!"
Disdainfully said Beryl.
"Hmph, as long as we can defeat the enemy, that's all that matters. Only the victor has the right to decide right from wrong!"
Aliceshia completely mocked Beryl's words, while she quickly put on the mask.
"Then let's see who can defeat them first!"
Ugh, these guys are not cooperating, but now they are even competing with each other, really…
However, their teammates were not bothered by this, without a word they immediately started attacking!
Ben did not move, instead he swung his hand and countless small flags flew towards the opponents like bullets!
This guy is indeed a troublemaker, later I'll definitely leave you to clean up the pieces of your chess.
"Hmph!"
But clearly, on Herd's side, despite such an attack, he did not show a panicked expression. He nodded to Melordo, then he swung his hand, and a whip made of water shot out countless water blades!
But it didn't end there, Melordo pointed his sword at those water blades, and in an instant, those water blades turned into sharp ice blades, flying towards the pieces.
The two sides collided directly, and the ice blades immediately turned into countless ice chips!
On the other side, Ona waved her hand and summoned 12 skeleton soldiers, which made me immediately cast a dark magic spell to cover this battlefield!
Seriously, is this guy mad? Even if you are allowed to use dark magic, using it here is very troublesome!
However, at some point, the two members of the Marshall family had disappeared, and the next second, two grenade-like objects fell into the midst of Ona's skeleton soldiers.
Then, a white light flashed, and those 12 skeleton soldiers dissipated like smoke blown by the wind!
Light magic grenades? Must be Madol's work.
Next, a person appeared behind Ona, with a sword against her neck.
"A one-person mage can be very dangerous, you know."
"..."
Ona snorted, and her whole body dissipated in the air like the skeletons before.
At the same moment, Herd suddenly walked out from the ice chips next to Aliceshia, and pressed the sword against her neck.
"What..."
Aliceshia clearly did not expect this, her body slowly fell, but I heard the sound of breaking glass, followed by smoke billowing out of her body like in her laboratory, engulfing the entire battlefield in an instant!
Damn it... I chuckled bitterly, and added more enchantment to the battle to dispel the smoke potion's effect.
Well, let's see who can hold out till the end.
