Chapter 25: Two Monsters

Slowly, I grabbed his wrist and pulled it away from my collar.You bark a lot but all you say is that your greatest achievement is being the lucky seed, don't you have anything else to show for it?"

"What?! Are you insulting me? I'll kill you!!!"

"Then go ahead and try it. Do I know where I am? Yes, but I doubt you realize that. I didn't expect any of you to be this stupid."

Silence suddenly falls in the class. Everyone looked at us, first shocked, then gradually with anger.

"Did he just..."

"This fool..."

Many students stood up and approached, but as soon as they reached Agiel, they stopped.

moving.

"!!!... W....What..."

"I... Can't move!"

"What's... going on?!"

I clenched my fist on Walter's wrist and he started to groan in pain but couldn't move.

Other students stood up, realizing something was wrong.

"Do you know why the best student in this academy is not a princess? It's because this academy is the door to the future of the kingdom. But what is really important for a kingdom? The Wealth? Grace? Health? No... What really matters in this world is to exist. What's a country that doesn't even exist?"

"Aaargh!!! My arm! My ARM!!!!"

He fell to his knees, and Agiel started to panic.

"Stop! He understood, let him go!"

"Thanks to the rifts, in this world our existence could be erased in a second. This is why classes are divided into ranks. The country does not need a rich noble for its future, what it needs is someone powerful enough to keep it going, which is why your social caste doesn't matter here."

"EEEHK!!! HELP!! HEEELP!!!"

"Stop!"

"Let him go!"

Everyone was in shock but no one could move, watching in horror at their comrade's pain.

"It's an E Class, the lowest rank, It's also the lowest level allowed in this academy. Do you know what that means? You're only here because your moms and dads are rich, as fighters you are worthless, as a family you are disappointments, all of you. My own child is so weak that he is only admitted to the weakest class, a class where he will never know how to fight. Poor parents."

They were all stunned, unable to move or even speak. I crouched down to face Walter who was starting to cry.

"Do you have a little brother?"

"Shtop... Ragh..."

"ALL RIGHT."

I let go of him, and he squeezed his wrist, writhing in pain. Some students realizing they were able to move again rushed to Walter. Agiel, completely shocked, whispered.

"You..."

"You piece of shit!"

One of the boys punched me in the face just as a teacher entered the classroom.

"What the...?! Hey, you over there! Stop it!"

The boy shuddered, and the teacher, an old woman rushed to me to inquire about my situation.

"What do you think you're doing?" Go to the principal's office now!"

"Huh?! But it was his..."

"Now! Miss Agiel, what were you doing? Aren't you the class representative? How could this happen right in front of you?!"

"What?! I... Huh..."

"I'll talk to you later, For now, take this young man to the infirmary, and you, you follow me!"

The boy was trembling, unable to defend himself. He gave me a hateful look as I rolled over on the floor moaning.

"Urgh... my... my weak cheek... just because I'm poor..."

"I... I'm going to kill you..."

"Tristan!"

She took his hand and led him outside. Before leaving, she yelled again at Agiel.

"Miss Agiel, if you're not in the infirmary within a minute, I'll send you to the Dean too!"

"Ah!... Y-Yes Madam!"

She grabbed me and helped me to leave. Meanwhile, in the darkest part of a forest, sitting on a tree trunk, Midgard hummed a song, patting the head of a decapitated cubron, a bear-like creature.

"Hmm~ My Goodness... How refreshing... How did I manage to live without this feeling for so long?"

On her screen, the quest for extermination displayed the sinister number 136/40.

"Ah, I think I overdid it... I was a very bad girl... But you too, my little toy. Hm?"

A huge noise echoed behind her.

"Oh, there you are."

A gigantic monster, almost 10 meters tall, resembling a bear appeared. It had sharp claws at least a meter long, huge paws on a thick body on which rested a head armed with long, sharp teeth.

|Kodiac killed: 0/1|

"You had me waiting, I had to play with your offspring for a bit, and trust me, they weren't a bit entertaining."

The Kodiac let out a cry that echoed throughout the forest and its jaws fell on Midgard.

In the meantime, I was walking in a corridor, supported by Agiel, when she stopped.

"... Get off me."

"Hm?"

"I told you to get off me!"

She pushed me away and glared at me, breathing heavily.

"But we're still not in the infirmary, the teacher will punish you too."

My smile widened, and so did the anger in her eyes.

"I was wrong to try to guide you... You know what, I don't care about who you are, where you're coming from, or who is your friend, but this is the last time that you insult my training."

"Hm? What? Are you angry because I said you were weak and worthless? Or is it because I guessed you were disappointing?"

She flinched and moved towards me but stopped abruptly.

"... I was only trying to get you on the right track, but now you've managed to turn everyone against you. Consider that I won't intervene if someone targets you outside of class, since we are so weak. I'll see how you handle it."

She turned her back on me and left, it was pretty unexpected, maybe I overreacted. When you think about it, she didn't really offend me. I was defensive because I expected to meet people like Barron, but this girl was just doing her job as a class representative.

If Walter hadn't interfered, maybe we'd have a more civilized conversation. But he gave me a free nap so I could forgive him for his antics, for now.

I was heading towards the infirmary when a notification appeared on the screen.

"Great... It's better than usual, but what a waste of..."

(Dear, are you still in class?)

(... Ah, it's you. Are you crazy for using so much energy? What if...)

(I know, I'll explain later but for now, can you leave the class?)

(I'm already outside, what's up?)

Wondering what she was talking about, I activated the system and discovered a new message. I started to read before slowly opening my mouth in amazement.
