Chapter 284 - Ready to Begin
Chapter 284: Ready to Begin
After a simple farewell, Mike went straight to the Law Faculty to attend classes.
At this time, students were already entering the classroom one after another.
Mike walked into the classroom and looked at the uniforms in front of him. He suddenly remembered the class rules that Teacher Maggie had set yesterday.
Currently, Mike was standing at the door of the classroom, and Teacher Maggie happened to be standing behind him.
“I’m sorry, Teacher. I was busy undergoing a trial with Master Tegpus last night, so I didn’t have time to go back to my dormitory to change into my school uniform. I’ll just go to the field now.”
Just as Mike was about to leave, Maggie stopped him.
“There’s no need, Mike. I’ve heard about your situation from the Dean of the Department of Chambers. You don’t have to run fifty laps on the playground.
“Come in for class. Don’t let it happen again!”
“That’s right, Mike!”
Seeing that Teacher Maggie had called him, Mike looked at her.
“In the future, please pay attention to your image before you come to the classroom. Don’t bring any dirty things into the classroom!”
Mike listened to Teacher Maggie’s words with some confusion, but he still nodded.
When Mike walked into the classroom, all the students in the class stared at him.
Some were whispering, and some looked at Mike with disdain.
Although Mike was very puzzled, he still walked into the classroom, feeling a little resentful as he returned to his seat.
Then, Irene asked Mike in a low voice.
“What did you do with Master Tegpus last night? Was it really a trial?”
Mike replied.
“Of course, it was a trial. What else could I have done?”
Irene smiled and took a small mirror out and showed it to Mike.
“Look at your face. And you still have the nerve to say that you went for a trial last night. Hahaha, you don’t even know how to lie!”
Mike saw the red lipstick on his face.
Then, he remembered that Lansi had kissed him at the auction last night.
“It’s all that crazy girl Lansi’s fault!”
Thinking of this, Mike’s face flushed red again.
Looking at Mike’s red face, Irene continued to speak.
“You see, your face is so red, yet you still have the nerve to say that you went to train with Master Tegpus last night. I’m afraid the two of you went somewhere to drink instead”
Just then, Teacher Maggie saw that Irene seemed to be teasing Mike, so she called Irene’s name.
“Irene, what are you whispering about?”
Irene stood up and said loudly.
“I just told Mike that I believe he didn’t go to train with Master Tegpus last night, but went to drink with him instead.”
Irene’s frank words made many people in the class laugh.
In fact, the whole class burst into laughter.
Even Teacher Maggie could not help but laugh.
Maggie covered her mouth with her hand and said, “Okay, okay, take a seat. Just don’t whisper in class anymore.”
Mike lowered his head, silently enduring the laughter of his classmates.
“Okay, okay, we are starting class now!”
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the day of the freshmen trials had arrived.
The sound of a melodious horn rang out, and the neatly dressed students walked into the golden trial arena with the Adventurer’s Academy’s flag on their shoulders.
The trial arena was located on a hill in the northwest of the Adventurer’s Academy.
At this time, the ring-shaped audience seats in the trial arena were filled with all the teachers and students of the Adventurer’s Academy.
The red flag of the Adventurer’s Academy fluttered in the sky.
At this time, the squads of all the various academies entered the arena one after another.
From the east, west, south, and north gates of the arena came the Law Faculty, the Close Combat school, the Summoning school, and the Manufacturing school.
The blue flag that belonged to the glory of the Law Faculty was waved by a beautiful senior sister who was leading the group.
Behind that senior sister was the freshman squad of the Law Faculty.
Mike walked somewhat unwillingly beside that beautiful senior sister.
The reason he was doing so was that he was dressed as the mascot of the Law Faculty.
Today’s weather was very hot and wearing the headgear made him feel very stuffy.
“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have gone to teacher Maggie’s office.”
Mike said.
It turned out that just last night after Mike had parted with Tegpus, he had suddenly received a message from Teacher Maggie.
The message was a request for him to go to her office.
Mike had politely gone.
When he arrived at Maggie’s office, she had said to Mike, “Mike, because you have repeatedly violated the class rules and found various reasons to avoid Dean Chambers’ class, the Law Faculty originally wanted to deduct half of your credits as punishment. But…”
Maggie smiled.
Looking at Maggie’s smile, Mike had a bad feeling.
“In tomorrow’s freshmen trial, you will need to dress up as the mascot of our Law Faculty and walk in front of the squad!”
Before Maggie could finish, Mike said, “Teacher, can I not dress up?”
“Of course not!”
Maggie said with a faint smile.
“Oh, Mike, aren’t you…”
Actually, the idea of letting Mike dress up as the mascot had come from Cisco.
Cisco had wanted Mike to act as the mascot purely because he thought that Mike’s appearance would bring good luck to the entire Long-Range Magic Department.
Meanwhile, Maggie, who was sitting on the podium of the Law Faculty, smiled wickedly at this moment and muttered to herself.
“It seems that today our Mage Class 2 will be famous!”
The squad that walked towards the west gate of the trial arena was the Close Combat Faculty.
The banner of the Close Combat Faculty was held high by a tall and sturdy scholar.
Behind him was the Close Combat Faculty’s freshmen team.
The north and south respectively, were the Summoning Faculty and the Manufacturing Faculty.
The emblem representing the Summoning Faculty and the banner representing the Manufacturing Faculty were also being waved by the leading seniors respectively.
The freshmen team belonging to the Adventurer’s Academy had already arrived at the center of the arena.
In the center of the arena, there was a tall drum tower.
The principal of the Adventurer’s Academy and all principals of the four academies were sitting on the drum tower.
Two high-quality emcees on the drum tower transmitted their voices with magic power.
“Welcome, teachers and students, to participate in this year’s Freshmen Trial Assembly!”
“We continue the tradition of the previous years. The top three of this year’s trial assembly will receive generous rewards.”
“And the top ten of the Academy’s infighting rounds will also receive a decent reward!”
“Let’s not waste any more words now. Let’s begin the Academy’s infighting freshmen competition for today!”
Before he could finish his words, a vast and solid arena rose in the middle of the four corners of the arena.
The four colored arenas represented the four different academies.
“Next, let us invite our judges and jury teachers!”
On the spectator stands, a few figures jumped in the center of the arenas of their respective academies.
“The first day of the freshmen trials, the internal battles within the academies begin!”
The so-called internal battles within the academies will be conducted through the internal battles between the students of different factions within the various academies. Using the point system, the top ten of each academy would be selected.
These top ten would represent their respective academies in the academy trials after these battles.
After continuous selection and elimination, the top three would finally be decided.
