Chapter 271: Chapter 271 Announcement.
Inside the crowded stadium, many Class-A students were conducting a mock battle, as today was their P.E. class.
The homeroom Teacher, Lee, holding a terminal, observed each student's strength and improvement in the Half-year they enrolled in the Academy.
He noticed several of them. Ever since his enrollment, Soma had shown explosive growth, even as someone who stood at the pinnacle of Rank A. He was uncertain about defeating him if they were both serious in battle.
Other students worth monitoring were
Leon was the rumored Savior who also showed tremendous growth in these half-years, and Lin fan who seemed to be falling behind both of them in terms of growth, but still, in terms of dedication, technique, and experience, he was rivaling Soma.
Within the girls' side were Hina and Xiao Lian. These two girls also had quite a good amount of battle experience, as seen from their sparring and decisiveness in taking action. It seemed following Soma in their path was the right choice they had made.
There is also a girl named Eri who wields a unique magic, Gravity. With her unique battle style, she brings a towering Shield. One other candidate would be Lydia, but looking at her timid nature, he felt a bit conflicted.
Why does Teacher Lee bother himself by doing this? Because in the next month The Academy will be holding a yearly event called 'Martial Art competition', and a 'Cultural festival'.
Both will be ten days long and divided into two sequences: seven days for martial arts and three days for cultural festivals.
Teacher Lee looked at the time in his terminal, and it was almost time for lunch.
"Everyone gathered!"
Like a duckling, every student began to form a line and gather their attention toward Lee.
Soma, who stood behind each side sandwiched by flowers, sighed for an unknown reason. Ever since this morning, his mind had been preoccupied by something.
Because he tends to prepare for imminent danger in the future, he is completely neglecting something important at this time.
"Good job to you all. As you guys know, the competition and the festival will be held next month. After seeing your progress and growth, I have already decided which people will represent our class. First is Soma!"
"Yes!".
Everyone in the place had already accepted this decision, looking at how monstrous his strength was and also at the rumor that he had already killed a demon single-handedly, which made them excited to hear who else was going to be picked.
"Leon and Lin Fan, you guys ready?".
"Yes teacher!".
"Yes".
Many girls in the class looked at Leon endearingly with his cheerful reply and Lin Fan in a different light for his cold demeanor. As for the other boys, they sighed in disappointment because they knew the result would be this way. At least they could cheer for them later.
"Next is from the girls side, Hina and Xiao Lian".
"Yes".
"Mm? Yes!".
The Girls looked in amazement at Hina and Xiao Lian, who were being picked. On the other hand, Eri bit her lips because she couldn't participate in the competition, and Lydia sighed and felt somewhat relieved because she wasn't chosen.
Many of them resigned in defeat, but also because Teacher Lee had picked them, it somehow raised the morale in the class, despite not being picked, because in this year's competition, a first-year will become a good challenger.
"That's it for today. You guys can go to the cafeteria for lunch or training, but make sure to arrive in your next lesson".
"Yes".
All the students in the class chirped simultaneously, bringing a loud rhyme that shook the air around the stadium before they went toward the locker room.
As usual, after Soma freshened up, he changed into his uniform and stood near the wall, waiting for the Girl's side. He was invited to have lunch with some males, but he politely declined because he already had some plans for today's lunch.
The girls' door room opened, and the girls from his classmates revealed themselves, but soon, when they saw Soma waiting calmly in front of them, their hearts skipped a beat. This scene never bore them; Soma's silhouette when he was waiting for his girls was so alluring and also envying at the same time.
"Soma, Sorry for the wait".
"Sorry ".
After seeing Hina and Xiao Lian, he parted his lips, and the other girls behind them, unknown to him, flushed their faces. The three began to walk to the cafeteria while talking about the earlier mock battle.
Soma's mind wandered about the competition that would be held; he remembered it was one of the important events where the main character, Leon, and the Villain, Lin Fan, clashed. He resorted to Leon's victory by awakening his true talent and invoking a certain dark desire in Lin Fan.
However, looking at Leon's progress, he doubted that he would awaken. Meanwhile, Soma began to be curious about Lin Fan's condition. If the story had entered this phase, then something had happened in his household.
This is troubling him because he was not close enough to call themselves a friend, but Soma, who had been asked to take care of him by Martial Saints, couldn't ignore him just like that.
The only thing he can do is try to approach him nicely and not burden him. Slowly, he hopes that someday, he will open his heart.
Once they arrived at the cafeteria, it was the same at this time. A huge clamor breaks where many students laugh hysterically while enjoying their meal with their closest friend. The lines that still were not dwindled, making the trio reluctantly wait in line before they got their food.
Another commotion broke out when the student council member appeared. Then, from them, a beautiful girl with long, glossy black hair sprinted and buried her face in Soma's back.
"Aagh, Not anymore, the paper is killing me!".
"Sera".
Soma turned and saw Serafina with a somber mood across her face. She sighed deeply and brushed her forehead to his uniform, throwing a tantrum. Looking at her head that protruded from his back, Soma reached out his hand and patted her head.
As his head touched her smooth hair, her body flinched, and she began to giggle in his back. The hug also tightened and made Soma smile wryly.
"Enough of that, Sera. you are a student council, I hope you give a good example in your behaviour".
Lucy came from behind, sighing, tearing apart the commotion that Serafina had caused. Everyone in the room thought, "Here we go again." They were all already aware that Soma was dating two people, which caused a huge uproar upon its revelation.
The male seniors were shedding tears of blood, seeing Serafina, whose Idol had been taken, and Hina, who showed promising talent as the next Idol in the Academy, taken by the same Boy. This was truly a disaster.
That fact infuriates many males in the Academy. Still, once they know that Soma is already experienced in Killing demons and destroying the dungeon core, a relative from the Awakeners Association president in Japan, no one dared approach him recklessly.
Some of the boys tried to do that but were beaten to a pulp by him, easily in the arena where he used to train with his girls.
"Tch, you chapstake, just tell me you are jealous".
"I am not".
"Why don't you just hurry and snuggle that first year".
"Wh-what?! We aren't like that!".
Lucy's face turned scarlet after Serafina blurted that word. Soma, who heard their conversation, could only sigh in relief that Lucy had already noticed Leon's charm. As someone filled with boundless kindness in their heart, no wonder they would be attracted to each other.
"Sera, go ahead".
"Oh? Ehehe, thanks. Bye Lucy".
Serafina began to join with Hina and Xiao Lian, conversing in a lively manner. Soma turned to Lucy as she shook her head.
"I am fine".
"I see".
Soma's group began to await their next turn, and after waiting for a couple of minutes, they finally got their turn. They began to search for an available seat, but sadly, the seat seemed packed.
"Oh, Senior Lucy Please take this seat, we already used it".
"Well, Okay I will gladly accept it. Thank you, Girls".
As expected from Lucy, she was loved by everyone in the school. They finally took their seats and enjoyed their food in silence.
They passed the time quietly until Serafina, who was finished with the dish, started to open her mouth.
"Right, Soma".
"What?".
"Our custom-made clothes is already finished and my subordinated will pick them up later".
"Okay, can you inform me where the appointment will be? I will be there".

"Thanks, I will inform you later".
Hina and Xiao Lian, who overheard the conversation, shot open their eyes, for their clothes had finally been completed. Soon, their eyes gleamed in excitement. Lucy, oblivious to the situation at hand, tilted her head adorably.
"Custom-Made clothes?".
"Right,I haven't told you yet".
Serafina began to explain in detail what was in their discussion. Lucy opened her eyes wide upon hearing the terms Mithril, but she soon clogged her mouth, for it would attract unnecessary attention if she found out.
"Where did you get that?".
"Well, Senior Lucy, it seemed Soma was lucky enough to encounter it when we were in Italy".
"Italy? …I see".
"I'm quite lucky".
It seemed Lucy understood the point but was still vague about when exactly Soma had found it. She also didn't come with them till the end.
At that time, she was too preoccupied to went home and act recklessly. She decided to go to the United States to visit her family despite the risk that was looming. But she safely arrived, reunited with her family.
"Sera, are you going to be okay? Senior Lucy too?".
Soma, who addressed the two seniors, made them jerked their heads toward the time and soon flinched.
"Then, Soma I will inform you later, bye!".
"Have a nice day, guys".
"Shall we go too?".
"Yeah".
"Mm".
The two girls nodded, began to pack up, and headed toward the class.
They spent their afternoon class silently listening to the teacher and passed their time in a studious manner.
Eventually, evening came. The blazing orange light that gleamed toward the earth cast a small shadow beneath Soma's feet. He walked briskly alone while looking at his phone, seeing the messages Serafina had sent him.
Enjoying the warm and pleasant evening that calmed his well-being, he approached the gate, where he saw the familiar Black limousine. Alan, holding a briefcase in hand, dragged it after he saw Soma's figure approaching.
"Mr Soma, how was your day?".
"Yes, as usual studying and training. I am good".
"Hoho, I am glad to hear you are well. Here is the item you requested the other day".
Alan dragged the black briefcase and laid it before Soma. Soma crouched down, opened the lock, and saw the clothes inside.
"Yes, I certainly received it, thank you Mr. Alan".
"No, no this is my work after all. Then Mr. Soma I will take my leave".
"Yeah, take care".
Both of them bid their farewell, and Soma stood at the gate looking at the silhouette of the car that had disappeared in his sight before turning around.
He decides to give the girls clothes later, dragging the briefcase while wondering about something that slipped his mind.
"What is it again?".
