The Birth of a True Hero
Episode 11 First day of academy class

Today is my first day attending class.

We are divided into 3 classes for first year students. I happened to see there were 2 children whose 1 room in my dorm was in the same class as me.

When I entered the room, the disgusted looks from my classmates made me somewhat uncomfortable.

"Hahhh, being a famous person turned out to be troublesome" I murmured inwardly.

While sitting on the back bench, I saw a familiar person next to my seat.

It turned out that she was Elijah, the girl I was once married to. He just kept quiet and suddenly the girls beside me started asking about our relationship with Elijah.

"Hey Elijah, isn't he the son of the Baron you were once betrothed to" she sounded like she was mocking Elijah.

"Ooh yeah, I used to meet him because of the matchmaking of our parents, but after my father found out he was a failed child who could not use magic, my father immediately canceled it" Elijah smiled answering the question of the woman beside him.

"Well, you must be pretty close to him, right?" the girl clearly provoked anger from Elijah.

"Of course not, we only met a few times and remember that he was once juxtaposed with me really makes me sick to the point of vomiting" Elijah answered the question while looking at me like he was looking at disgusting garbage.

I who heard that was immediately stunned.

and did not dare to turn their heads either because they were embarrassed or self-conscious. I didn't expect, hearing that from my childhood friend was so heartfelt. I kept pondering over myself who had been betrayed by the women I loved so much.

He made me remember some of the women in my past who had been close to me, then dumped me when I found a better man than me.

I think back to the stupid things I did in the past. Like too much hope for a woman and also too trusting their sweet words. While I was pondering, Professor Fredrin arrived.

"Please calm down" the professor ordered into the classroom.

Then after putting down the ledger containing the names of the students in this class, he introduced himself.

"Include new students. My name is Fredrin Olifer, the professor who will be your homeroom teacher until your first year is over."

"You guys who make trouble and I don't think it's appropriate in this class I'll take it out of my class right away. Better keep that in mind!" said firmly.

"Today we will study in an open space. So within 10 minutes, I don't want to hear there are students who are not ready in the field" said the professor.

We went to the academy training ground. I saw the 1-bedroom kid with me standing still as the others sneered at me in the field.

"Huh, kenpa he's coming to the field too"

The voice of the student talking behind me.

"Indeed what can a child do here who doesn't even have magic energy "

"Did he fantasize that a miracle was coming and suddenly he could use magic? it's funny."

Said the child behind me who was greeted with laughter by the other children.

Suddenly, a girl stopped the voices.

"Hey all of you, you're here to practice or talk about people, if you have time to sneer at someone better use that to pay attention to the instructions of the professor".

Said the woman.

The other disciple was silent with an irritated look at the girl.

"Alright, I'll show you the basic magic and show you how to pronounce the spell" said the professor who thrust his hand and began chanting.

"Fire ball" where around his hands began to solidify and form a burning ball.

The disciples were not surprised by all that, as they had all learned basic magic. They are just like me who had a magic guide when their bodies were stable.

The professor told them all to line up and told us to practice it.

Some of the disciples easily practiced it but most of them cast even more amazing magic than Fire ball just to show off.

"Huh, boring" said a student who pulled out a very large fireball.

The professor continued to watch me try hard but still unable. Then the headmaster called Professor Oliver to come to his room immediately.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your professor's teaching time, but the head of the academy called you to say something important" one senior student told professor Oliver.

After the professor left us, a fireball shot towards me and hit my back. I fell down and my back burned.

"Upsss, sorry." said a man who approached me.

"I thought you were a wooden doll that was deliberately placed as a training tool" said a boy who looked so haughty and looked at me with a very annoying look.

The Shiva laughed at the man's words. The female student started whispering excitedly seeing the handsome man humbling me.

"Waaah, that's Mr. Dominas. The second son of Count Shaman" whispered one of the women.

"Yes he is the most genius student in our generation, let alone his extremely charming appearance. It was fortunate that Elijah could get it" whispered the woman.

I was a little surprised to learn that the man in front of me was Elijah's lover. But why he attacked me I can't understand.

Elijah watched us from a distance. She just smiled cynically seeing her lover humbling me.

Yet a woman stood before me and looked at Dominas with great annoyance.

"You think, what are you doing. Attacking others with magic is against the rules, if the professor finds out you'll be taken out" the girl in front of me threatened.

But without feeling guilty, he instead tried to avoid the girl's statement.

"Haahh, what are you saying. I told you I wasn't on purpose, right?" dominas said with his arrogant smile.

"Yes right, he did not intentionally. After all, it was the stupid one who stood there" said the girls who had asked about Elijah and myself in class.

Hearing that, the girl just kept quiet with an annoyed face. Then he turned around and extended his hand to me.

"You, all right?" he said extending his hand.

But I brushed off the helping hand because I had decided I would never trust any woman again.

"Urus is your own business, don't be pretentious to interfere" I said with an irritated look.

After a while, the Professor came and was surprised to see my uniform burn. But as I guessed, he did not care about me and did not find out more about the matter.

"Then it's your turn Rui" said the professor who told me to practice fireball.

Then I tried it again and a small fireball appeared in front of me.

Instantly they were surprised I could use magic. But they started laughing again because my fireball looked so weak compared to theirs.

Of course it looked weak as it was the remnants of the fire ball hitting my back. I reflexed the magic mehap with my predator mana and stored it without absorbing it.

So, the fireball they saw was not my magic but Dominas' magic. I'm a little lucky because the Dominas subconsciously helped me pass this test.

I'm just glad I survived the test this time despite being the laughing stock of the other students. But suddenly the voice of a woman started to sound again.

"Hey shut up, you guys are too noisy. Stop laughing at the lack of others, you're so annoying"

Said the woman who stopped them from running me.

They were silent for a moment, but now I felt the angry and vengeful gazes of the girls mocking me towards the girl who stood up for me.

"Well, since today's lesson is over, you have 4 hours free until dinner and go to bed "

After the Professor said that the students started to leave the field.

I feel a little tired because I really try hard to cast basic magic but still can not use fireball to the end and forced to use cheating.

I sat down for a moment wiping away the sweat that had soaked my shirt, unaware that a woman was already standing behind me and greeting me.
