God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

"Why aren't you going for a break like the others?" Instructor Tiamat asked.

She could see that it was only Nolan who remained in the class with her, and judging from how balanced he was in his seat, he didn't seem to be moving out or having plans to do so.

And that piqued her interest.

"I don't go out for the breaks," Nolan replied curtly.

"And why is that?" she asked, and Nolan answered.

"I prefer to go to the cafeteria at night. So, I remain in class during the break time, and I also don't enjoy crowds and too many eyes on me. So, I prefer to stay in," he replied as her golden, snake-like irises focused on him for some time before she nodded.

"The gaze on you from the students has changed in the past few days, though. I'm sure it wouldn't be as bad as you think it is," Instructor Tiamat chided.

She reasoned that the only reason Nolan preferred to eat during the night instead of the morning was also because of the gaze.

But she understood that the students' attention on him had changed in recent days.

So why was he still afraid of attracting attention? It wouldn't be as bad as he might think.

"Nah, I feel better remaining here and skipping through the notes. But I can leave if that's what you want, so I…" Nolan said as he noticed she seemed to be trying to get him out.

And he didn't know how serious she was, but if she really meant it, then Nolan could excuse himself for her.

"Oh, no, it's fine. You can remain if you want. I can't force you," she said, quickly waving it off, and Nolan delivered a grateful smile before continuing to read his book.

Silence reigned once more, and quickly an hour and thirty minutes passed.

The students immediately began storming in one by one, and after thirty minutes of everyone having properly relaxed, Instructor Tiamat continued the class for another four hours straight.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

The sound of the ringing bell could be heard, denoting it was time for the students to leave.

Quickly, Instructor Tiamat assigned them some homework before she headed out of the class.

Once she left, the students also began streaming out of the class. The same could be said for Nolan.

He could even see Wiro leaving the class, but the fat guy made no communication with him, so Nolan also didn't say anything to him.

He knew he was at least fine based on how carefree he was, so he didn't think he had anything to bother with.

Quickly, Nolan also packed up his bag before heading straight for his dorm room.

Once he arrived, he settled down, moving to the kitchen to cook something for himself.

Then he grabbed his bag and began doing his assignment while also reviewing the notes that were given to him.

There was so much to learn about the rifts, such as their grades, what types of nightmare creatures are common and which are not, and the various abilities and classes of the various nightmare creatures.

According to Instructor Tiamat, their relationship and mode of conduct of the nightmare creatures would be discussed tomorrow, along with further in-depth analysis into the characteristics and attack methods of the creatures.

He was more than interested and couldn't wait for the day.

Moving to his bedroom, he set the bed alarm to 8:00 and zoned off.

---

Soon, he was alerted by the sound of the alarm and quickly he rose up, moving his way to the Kratos training room.

This time, he was the only one inside, and therefore he was more than free to play around with the various facilities.

By the time it was 12 at night and Nolan exited, his legs were involuntarily shaking and sweat soaked his entire clothes.

He had given it his all during training and almost regretted it. But he was still able to drag himself back home with sheer will, and he landed on the bed, soon snoring off.

The first ray of morning light came, and the cycle repeated with Nolan dressing up, moving to school, coming back, and resting, then going to training, overworking the hell on his body, and then back to bed.

It continued on and on, for six days straight, with Nolan not changing a single thing.

Right now, he could feel improvement not only in his strength but even in his balance, and he felt more familiar with his dagger.

He had also learned as much as he could about the rifts.

Enough for him to know everything about it like the back of his hand.

Today was the last day when they would be given their permission report and the last words before they went out for the mission tomorrow morning.

So, Nolan woke up very early to ensure he didn't miss anything.

Not surprising, there were more students who were already there, showing eagerness throughout the entire academy.

And in a few hours, Instructor Tiamat came in, but this time not without any textbooks and even in a casual wear.

"So, I have been informed by the school of its final decision, which is that all of you who have reached the Heavenly Disciple stage will be leaving the academy for your first Celestial Responsibility mission at exactly 7 a.m. tomorrow morning."

"That said, I will now record the names of you all who have reached the Heavenly Disciple stage and submit it to the mission board so you can each be assigned to your respective groups and missions."

"If you have reached the Heavenly Disciple stage, please rise and come forth one at a time from the farthest area of the class…" she commanded, and immediately, a student in the far seat rose up, with Instructor Tiamat putting down his name.

Then another name and another, until it was eventually Nolan's turn and his name was also written down.

That was when he observed that out of the total of 30 students in the classroom, only a total of 9 were able to break through to the Heavenly Disciple stage within the time frame.

The others won't be going!

"I now have all the names. You all can leave to get your rest now."

"For those who don't have their names written down, there will be no class at all for the next week, and your new event schedule will be given tomorrow morning, so you all are required to show up at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning for your mission report and also your new schedule event for those not picked..."

"Goodbye, and you all get your rest…" she called out before leaving, and immediately all the students began rising up and leaving for their dorms.
