Rebirth of the Ruined Noble

"Ahem!"

It was professor with dark, neatly combed hair. He wore a old fashioned glasses, which combined with his eerie feeling coat gave off a ominous premotion.

"Today's the first day, so there won't be any special training, but I hope you guys all did your morning training. Training is never wrong, especially in the morning when the mana density is high."

It seemed like he haven't noticed me sleeping in the classroom...Thank god!

I didn't want to become noted on the first day, at least not by the professor in front of me.

"Hey...It's...him"

I heard a weak voice among the students.

"Why does it have to be him."

"It would have been good as long as it is anyone but him"

"Looks like we have no hopes to pass the first year"

All the students who were jumping around the classroom in a happy mood, excited at their first day at the Freljord Academy became depressed seeing the instructor and their mood took a 180 degree turn.

It was a natural reaction.

Afterall, the one who takes the first class for a particular classroom will be the home room instructor to them for the rest of the year.

And by how the things works, the one who was appointed as a home room teacher for our [Kshatriyas] class was none other than the infamous Joshua Sanders A.K.A Mr.Kill Joy.

'He is not as much bad as the rumors say....'

Rumors are often exaggerated as people tend to add spices for the truth, but...It was complete opposite in his case.

'...He is worse'

The instructor that was most famous for making the student's life harder in the Freljord Academy.

Just from the rumors they have heard, the students realized that their first year was not going to be a easy path to stride on.

But even the rumors didn't do him justice on how terrible he is.

'What would their reaction be if I told them that he would make us all wake up 4:00 in the morning for mana training and make us climb the nearby mountain everyday before the class starts....'

They would all collapse with foam in their mouths.

Anyway, they are going to experience it themselves, so there is no need for me to poke my nose in.

"Now, let's start with self-introductions. I'm Joshua Sanders, the instructor in charge of you all for the year and I will be the home room teacher for this class."

Despite everything I said, It was name that I couldn't forget.

Although he was infamous for giving hard time for students, In reality, he was the best teacher one could ask for.

And....He was the only one who supported me when the Academy decided to throw me out.

[The role of Academy is to educate the children, not to run a business out of their fees....]

His words as he faced the Headmaster of Freljord academy taking my side, I couldn't forget those movements even if I wanted to.

"I will be handling the subject of Introduction to Magic theory and it's application in real life. I hope you all will give it your best in learning the knowledge."

There was no excitement in the face of children as they were all sulking at the fact. Nevertheless, the instructor continued his words.

"I think that's enough for my introduction."

There was no reaction on his face as Instructor Joshua Started to walk back and forth between the stage built for the lecturers.

As I looked around, it seemed as if I was the only one genuinely listening to his words, which was obvious from my perspective who was previously one of those ignorant students.

"The first day will feel special. You might not have slept due to excitement and worry, or maybe you're feeling great about being able to improve yourselves. Some of you may have also came here to enjoy your youth."

He seemed to have noticed me earlier.

My face flushed in embarrassment as some of the students looked towards me following his words.

Ah! Getting stares like this when mind is matured more than my age is definitely uncomfortable.

Despite the students reaction, the instructor froze his expression sternly.

"But Freljord isn't the same as it was before. I promise you, there will be no time for relationships or any enjoyments. In Freljord, you will experience several real combat situations. Look forward to experiencing how fearful the real world is."

His roguish smile sent a chill down my back no matter how many times I have seen it before.

"Next, Freljord Academy is objective. The only indicator of your success and improvement will be your grade. The Towers will only look at your grade. Thus, we will grade you accurately and strictly. If you underperform, you will be held back. Statistically, less than half of Freljord's cadets graduate without repeating a semester. Even then, you can only be held back up to two years. Any more than that, you will be expelled. If you can't graduate within two years, you will be expelled. Of course that is not the end, you will either end up become an adventure or a mercenary. Take my word, it definitely isn't something that you wish to end up as."

His words couldn't be more accurate.

I was the living...no, living after death example of that.

Ending up as a mercenary or an Adventurer without any talent would be nothing less than hell, at least that is what it will become like in the future after demon invasion.

"At Freljord, you will need to confirm the things you've learned until now and hone your skills to be used in battle. There will be no kind training here. Remember that."

With that, Instructor Joshua announced.

"Now get ready and look ahead at the projector. What's scheduled for today won't take long. Coming to the first topic 'The History of Magic Theory.'"

He wasn't even leaving the first day as he immediately started his teaching without even giving a break for the students, which further dampened the mood.
