As he was about to open the door... Making him more anxious until...
Thwack!
"S-sorry! - "A girl's voice, this time it was gentler... She had brown hair tied in a bun, glasses, and golden-green eyes...
The girl immediately picked up the book that fell on the floor and hugged it to her chest.
"A-are you okay..?" She asked nervously
Wait... She's Marilyn, one of the protagonists! Though she's a commoner, her reason for being here seems different... She has an affinity for Holy magic, the light attribute.
"Haha… I'm fine.."
I should be careful not to interfere with the plot. Who knows, maybe I'll create variables in the future, so I should really be careful...
Marilyn seemed to notice his vacant face
"H-hey, are you really okay?" She asked worriedly
He immediately stiffened at her question and looked at Marilyn
"Yeah, I'm fine.."Oh, okay, if you say so.." She walked past him and left him alone
I...I didn't hurt him too bad right, she thought as she was already leaving the room
'Well, where was I... This room contains weird equipment that I saw in the game...' I muttered to myself. And then I sat on the chair at the end of the row next to the window
I looked at my phone. [9:30]
Right, the home room teacher is assigned into their schedule 9:30. I saw it in the paper where the section and the schedule are written then before I've entered the class
One by one, the other students arrived in class, sitting in their respective seats. The room soon filled up with hushed conversations and the sounds of people placing their things down
After a while, the rumors started again
"Hey, have you heard about the four great families and the merchant guild?"
"I heard that the merchant guild has become one of the most prominent business groups in the country lately."
"Right? I heard that it's because the Verdric guy is super popular!"
"Heh, I can handle most of them, you'll see."You're not him, bro—"
20 minutes later...
Then, the door slid open, revealing a man wearing sunglasses and a suit
"Alright class," His voice was firm as he began speaking.
"My name is Cyrus Glovis, and I will be your homeroom teacher for the rest of the year." He said, gesturing to the name written on the board
"This class, Magic Theory! Well, you could say it's the same as that math class you all suffered through!" The students remained silent and unimpressed
"Is that really a professor?"
"It's not funny!"
"Right? When did they start hiring unprofessional instructors..."
Suddenly, Glovis slammed his hand on the table, silencing the class with a severe look
"Alright, enough chatting. You want me to be serious? Then so be it."
He turned toward the board and picked up a piece of chalk
"From today onward, we'll start with the basics of mana theory. If you can't even understand this, don't bother dreaming about becoming something great in this academy."
The classroom finally went quiet
