?The greatest training institute in the Mauryan empire, boasting state-of-the-art magic, science, and swordsmanship.


    [Freljord]


    Freljord was originally the name of the enormous ind located in the central sea, when the founding emperor decided to create an educational academy, he decided that this ce was suitable and hence the academy inherited the same name.


    In this huge area, there were only about 4500-5000 cadets of the empire, of which 1000 were first years. As all types of talents gathered here for learning and to make progress in their own fields, Freljord was filled to the brim with monstrous talents.


    In the second year, various children who had performed well in other educational institutes would be given a chance to attend the Freljord Academy as a transfer student, which would increase the cadet count by another 200-300.


    Furthermore, there were instructors for each subject, their assistants, cleaners, staff, recruiters visiting asionally, magicians who maintained a sturdy barrier over Freljord at all times, the royal guards that were dispatched for security purposes, and researchers for taking care of cadets and more...With all these people, about 35000~40000 people resided in Freljord.


    Naturally, this ce was a highly important structure in the empire as it housed the future of the great Mauryan empire. In any case, I as a member of Freljord could be said to be an elite.


    Honestly, If I hadn''t lost my right arm in the army, I could have at least reached a high realm in swordsmanship.


    ....I guess nothing of that matters now. Staring at the door to the ssroom, I sighed.


    [1st year - Kshatriya]


    Kshatriya was the name of the elite ss in 1st year. Simply put, It was a ss where the best of the best talents gathered.


    It was a very regrettable fact that I ended up dying a dog''s death in my past life despite being someone who was once among the best talents of the Mauryan.


    To exin more about the sses, there were 4 sses in the first year.


    Kshthriya - The ss that contained the best talents regardless of status.


    Brahmana - The ss that was exclusive to children who wanted to gain knowledge in other fields thanbat and research maniacs.


    Vaishya - The ss exclusive to noble children.


    Shudra - The ss exclusive to themon or peasant children.


    These systems were bought into existence so that the constant fights and friction between noble andmoner students could reduce, but it only made themoners more frustrated as they thought that Academy too was discriminating against them.


    "Huu."


    None of that was any of my concern.


    As I have decided to get stronger in this life, I couldn''t ask for a better environment than this ss.


    As I stood before the ssroom string at its door various memories of the academy washed in.


    Behind this door, there were many monsters that would absolutely rule the Mauryan one day and there were also some who would die without achieving anything.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    As someone who knew the future, I couldn''t easily calm my heart.


    After calming my breath and collecting myself, I slowly and carefully opened the door.


    The interior was sleek; milky white with no sign of dust and desks cascading up in three rows. Where should I sit? I looked around the ssroom and found Bable Von Agnus sitting at the furthest back.


    With his eyes closed and his hand in his pocket, he seemed imposing as the heir of the Agnus dukedom should.


    Next to him was his childhood friend, Luna Primrose, chattering non-stop.


    The two of them obviously didn''t pay any attention to me. Well, it''s not like I was seeking attention in the first ce. I walked up and sat done on the edge seat of the middle row.


    I looked straight ahead in a daze.


    There was no chalkboard, instead a magic-powered projector screen for holograms to be shown. Looking at it, I couldn''t help but sigh as I remembered all the sses through which I slept of boredom.


    "...hmm"


    Freljord''s semester began on the third month of the year in the month of Tiger.


    The warm weather of summer naturally made me sleepy. currently, it was 8:30 AM and the ss began at 9:00. Many seats were still empty as the students may have lost their way on the first day.


    I was here early because I already know the route from the auditorium to the ssroom.


    As I looked through the ss, I couldn''t find Julia anywhere.


    Well, it was natural considering how ''good'' she was with directions. But it''s not like I was going to help, it was none of my business. ...Anyways, let''s sleep a little.


    I wanted to rx my head for a minute. Closing my eyes, I dropped my head on the desk covering it with my hand.


    I don''t think much time has passed but...


    -Now!


    A thunderous shout woke me up.


    When I opened my eyes, the instructor was behind the podium.


    ''f*ck!''


    I overslept on the first day of the academy that too in the first ss itself.
