"Students, classes have been in session for some time now but we still don't have a class president yet. This morning, we'll be gathering at the field and you'll be competing for the spot of class president, and the strongest will be elected. Now, come forward and give me your names if you wish to sign up.""What benefits are there to being the class president?"A student asked."I heard that the class president gets extra reward in class, and everything has to go through both them and the professors. Of course, that also means they'll get to butter up the professors, and it's also much easier to learn more from them. The academy also has a hall of fame, and I heard only the class presidents are eligible to enter. It's said that only the greatest of elites can enter its ranks. The academy greatly values the hall of fame, and benefits are often offered to its members."What they said made signing up tempting to me, but I had no idea how strong my classmates were.

"So, isn't this much more interesting?""Kinda, but still a little lacking.""Really? Then, try this one on for size. Wind Eagle Dance!"Windley's spear spun incessantly in his hands, rotating faster and faster until a hurricane gradually formed around him. I could tell that this wasn't going to be a normal attack, so I raised the power of my Divine Armor to its maximum. Right as I did so, Windley turned around and smacked the end of his spear."Go!"Then, with the rotational force stored inside the spear, it flew at me at a ridiculous speed."Shield!"I chanted. This was one of Divine Armor's incantations that turned all the mana in my body into defensive energy.“Clank!”A striking crash resounded as the spear came into contact with my armor. Then, with a crack, my armor shattered under the immense power of the spear strike, and I could feel my guts within me turning inside out from the impact.However, the spear did no

Once all was said and done, I shoved the whole note incident into the back of my mind. When I returned to the dormitory later that evening, I was surprised to find that Doris had woken up. Excited, I took her into my arms and left the dorm.As the sky gradually turned darker, I brought us to a quiet and remote spot. Since no one was around, Doris changed back into her beastman form. Even though I had already expected it, Doris's beautiful body and angelic face still caught me off guard. Since the last time, Doris's beastman body had become much more feminine."Doris, how do you feel?""I feel pretty good. I broke through and advanced a rank, I'm a war priestess now!"Doris exclaimed with a hint of excitement."Really? That's good news!"I was genuinely happy for her."It's all thanks to you. If last time, you hadn't..."Doris's voice trailed off at that point. Even in the darkness, I could see the blush on her cheeks."If last time I hadn

"As far back as I can remember, my mother had been different from the others because of her bloodline. All the memories I had of my mother were sad and pitiful. I had never seen her smile, and when I asked why, she would tell me that her heart was already dead. She asked me, how could someone with a dead heart smile? My heart ached every time I heard that."Without my urging, David told me about his mother's past."Mother told me that she used to be a normal member of the Angora rabbit tribe, and she was no different than the others. It wasn't a wealthy life they lived, but it was carefree. This was exactly the life they wanted. But at some point in time, the greedy humans and the evil trolls of the beastman nation colluded with one another. For the sake of money, they set aside their hatred and extended their dirty claws toward the Angora rabbit tribe. The trolls established a hidden force with their strong fighting power around the Angora rabbit settlement, which is what

I was exasperated. There really was no hiding this news. I had no idea which bastard spread the rumor, but I would have to be more careful in the future."I'm young and energetic, is it so strange for me to have a girlfriend?"I tried to dismiss the matter, but Windley wasn't having any of it."Then, tell me who she is. Is she from the academy? Which class?""You're just about as nosy as some of the girls.""Aren't I just worried about you though?Windley was completely undeterred, so I could only bring out my trump card."By the way, I made a breakthrough in my training recently. Why don't we have a friendly exchange tomorrow in the arena?"Windley immediately shriveled like a prune."I'm not having any 'friendly exchanges' with a nutcase like you! You're strong enough as it is, and you're a dual element mage, too? Good lord..."After saying that, he slipped out of the room as quickly as possible. I didn’t know nor care whose
