Otherworld Adventure 70 Tour Around Campus

"Elizabeth Arks, as a spell caster I'm at the intermediate mana sea stage. I'm also a B- rank warrior."

Elizabeth copied Lucia and raised both her hands, she did a quick chant and on her left and right hands a layer of rock covered it. Circling around her right hand were wisps of fire and atop the palm of her left hand was a small wind tornado.

"My main attributes are fire, wind and earth. I look forward to my time here with all of you."

'B-, that means she's a rank below Lucia and 4 ranks below me, but 3 elements... how talented.' Cecil thought.

The combat ratings that the academy used started from rank D all the way to rank S. There were also plusses and minuses in each rank. So with Cecil being an A rank, it meant that Lucia who was B rank was 3 ranks below him and Elizabeth who was B- rank was 4 ranks below him.

Combat ratings didn't really matter though since it would only take into account a person's warrior combat prowess. It had nothing to do with a spell caster's combat level. In fact the two were separated since during the entrance exam, the instructors couldn't really test the student's magic combat level since it would require the student to unleash the highest tiered spell that they could cast.

Obviously this wasn't allowed to happen since a tier 5 spell could literally blow up the exam room.

Like how combat prowess was ranked, magic combat prowess level were divided into 10 tiers. Tier 1 being the weakest and tier 10 being the strongest, a spell was also categorized the same. An initial level spell could be Tier 1-3, intermediate spells Tier 4-6, and advanced spells Tier 7-9. Tier 10 would mostly be forbidden spells or extremely strong original spells. A spell caster's magic combat level was determined by what tier spell they could use without suffering a zero mana state.

Zero mana state was a condition where a spell caster had almost a nil amount of mana in their body. Zero mana state could also cause the spell caster to immediately lose consciousness for several days or even suffer from mana sickness and in the worst case scenarios, even death.

After Elizabeth's introduction, Instructor Jin began calling out the rankings of the other students. After Elizabeth who was third rank, it continued on with the fourth ranking student all the way until the last ranking student in cla.s.s S.

Fina was rank 6 while Ainz was rank 9. It irked the proud Ainz since in their group of 5; he was actually the lowest ranked.

Fourth rank was a gloomy tigerkin boy who had black fur with white stripes. He was a rare user of both light and dark elements and was an intermediate mana sea stage spell caster, but he only had a B- ranked combat level .

The same went for the Fifth rank student. He was a large giant boy who specialized in only Earth elemental magic and body enhancing. He was pretty balanced being an intermediate mana sea spellcaster and having B ranked combat level.

Sixth was Aquafina who, just like her name, specialized in the water element. She also could use light element and a little bit of wind element. She was an intermediate mana sea stage spellcaster and unsurprisingly, she had the weakest combat level in Cecil's group, reaching only C rank.

After Aquafina, the subsequent rankers were only at the initial mana sea stage.

To Cecil and Lucia's surprise, Ainz who was ninth actually specialized in all 4 major elements and had a combat level of C+ rank. He was only ranked lower than Aquafina since his mana stage wasn't at the intermediate level.

After everyone in cla.s.s had finished introducing themselves, the instructor then went on to talk about all the different facilities the academy had. Instructor Jin also activated a projector like device that was in front of the cla.s.s. There it displayed all the different buildings and facilities within the academy grounds.

The stadium that the students were at earlier was also the academy's arena. There they could spar and exchange pointers with fellow students.

There was a separate building where the cafeteria was at. There was a large library building, the warrior training grounds, mage training buildings and there was also a building specially built for mana forging, mana crafting, magic engineering, and magic-tech cla.s.ses.

After having described what all the buildings represented and which area one would need to go to attend their selective cla.s.s, Instructor Jin took the cla.s.s out to begin a small tour around the academy.

On their way, they also b.u.mped in to all the other first year cla.s.ses. Each cla.s.s mostly had around 25-30 students. So in total there were 8 first year cla.s.ses. S cla.s.s, A cla.s.s, all the way to G cla.s.s.

Other than S cla.s.s that took the 25 top students during the entrance exams, cla.s.s A to cla.s.s G had the students randomly placed in them. This way, the students in G cla.s.s which was thought to be the lowest wouldn't actually be the weakest cla.s.s.

In fact, there were 6 students that were in the 26-50 rankings in this cla.s.s.

Cla.s.s S made their way through the academy's building with Instructor Jin constantly giving them explanations about what cla.s.ses were being held in each building's cla.s.sroom.

It took them all the way until it was lunch time to finish the tour. Instructor Jin took the cla.s.s to the cafeteria. It was already bustling full with students eating their lunches and hanging out.

The cafeteria had a whole building to itself. There were 8 floors in the building and other than the first and eighth floor, floors 2 to 7 were for the students.

The first floor was where the cafeteria staff was at, and only on this floor would the students be able to order what foods they wanted from the cafeteria's menu, which changed periodically every day. The eighth floor was reserved for the teachers.

There was a sort of tacit understanding between each year's students. Floors 2 and 3 were for the first and second year students. 4 and 5 were for third and fourth year students while floor 6 was for the academy's 10 faction's main members. So unless a senior brought a junior into the top floors, no lower year students would dare to go up to a floor that wasn't meant for their year.

Floor 7 was for the top 100 high ranking students and the faction leaders. The 7th floor was considered one of the academy's holy grounds since only faction leaders and high rankers could get in.

It sounded pretty exhausting to go up and down each floor using the stairs, but there were also levitating platforms on every floor that the students could use to go up and down levels.

After the students finished their lunches, Instructor Jin let them go to freely explore the campus. He also said that there was no need to go back to the cla.s.s since it was over for today. He reminded everyone again to quickly finish registering which selective cla.s.ses they would take since tomorrow would be the deadline to upload the information on their MIDs.

He then asked all the students to gather tomorrow in their combat uniforms at the academy's stadium by 9 o clock. After leaving these instructions he bid farewell to cla.s.s S.

Everyone was suddenly left there. It caused the atmosphere to become somewhat awkward. The students then split into groups and went about their separate ways.

There seemed to be some students who wanted to approach Cecil's group, but then they immediately went away for some reason. Cecil who was observing this let out his thoughts.

"What's up with them? It's not like we're going to eat them or anything."

"Ara~ you noticed too Cel?" Lucia replied while smirking at him. "With how stupid you are, I didn't think you'd notice~"

"Tch... Lulu I'm not that oblivious."

"I wonder about that~"

Fina who was watching their usual exchange spoke up.

"Well, it's not that they don't want to approach us, it's just... some of us here are... somewhat unapproachable..."

She sneaked a glance towards Elizabeth and saw that she too had a helpless look on her face. Obviously she hinted that it was their fault.

Lucia however turned to glare at Ainz.

"It's your fault Ainz!"

Ainz, Eli and Fina were surprised at Lucia's abrupt comment. Ainz who was called out by her was at a loss, he immediately tried to argue back and justify himself.

"How is it MY fault? Don't go around accusing me of something that I didn't do, you brat!"

"What? Isn't it obviously YOUR fault! With how gaudy and pretentious YOU look and how arrogant YOU act! It's no wonder others are too afraid to get close to us! It's like they're facing royalty or whatever with you being with us!"

"""...""" The three 'royals' immediately turned silent. In fact Lucia wasn't wrong. Aquafina was the crown princess of the Neftersea Oceanic Empire and Elizabeth herself was the second princess of the Anglaria Kingdom. While Ainz himself was from a Duke household so he was a n.o.ble of the Anglaria Kingdom.

Every student in cla.s.s would literally be facing royalty if they ever approached their small group.

Lucia then turned towards Cecil who was pondering and said, "Isn't that right Cel?"

"Hrmm... I do kinda agree with Lulu here Ainz... the way you act is a bit too n.o.ble and makes you seem unapproachable."

"What? But, it's really not my fault!" Ainz directed his sight towards the two people who were the actual cause of their predicament, only to see them look away.

"..."

"That settles it! We're kicking you out Ainz!" Lucia said with an evil chuckle.

"HEY!" Ainz shouted while his face sported an exasperatedly look. He couldn't expose the two princesses since that would literally be asking for death, but he also didn't want to take this false accusation that was abruptly pinned on him! He was speechless as well as frustrated. He wanted to say something be he couldn't find the right words to justify himself.

Fina and Elizabeth were surprised when they heard what Lucia said. They wanted to speak up for Ainz since it really wasn't his fault, but the two were interrupted by Lucia's bell-like laughter.

"You really can't take a joke can you Ainz?" Lucia said with tears in her eyes. She also started slapping Ainz's arm while pointing at him as she laughed. The sight of Ainz's anguished face really cracked her up.

"Why. You. Little. BRAT!!!" The pain of having his arm slapped and the humiliation from having lost his composure prompted him to send a fist flying towards Lucia. Lucia easily caught the fist and chuckled evilly.

"Hehe..."

Ainz immediately paled when he saw Lucia nonchalantly catch his fist. He felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the red magic circle slowly form around his fist.

"It's a joke! It's a joke okay?!"

Cecil was chuckling on the side because earlier he played along with Lucia's joke, so before Lucia could create a searing tattoo on Ainz's fist he stopped Lucia and said,

"Let's go, there's a lot left to see in the academy."

After saying that, Cecil turned around and started walking in a random direction. He took out his MID and began fiddling with it again.

Lucia followed after him and Ainz walked next to Lucia and began complaining, which led to the two starting to bicker again.

"...interesting people we've befriended. Don't you think so, your highness?" Fina said with a smile.

"Hmph."

Elizabeth scoffed at Fina's way of addressing her, but she chuckled and chased after the trio alongside Fina.
