Chapter 167 It's very simple and easy
The following five days passed with relative normalcy in classes, though beneath the surface lay unexpected challenges and secrets. The professor divided the students into two groups: those with magical abilities and those specializing in weapon handling. For the former, magic lessons were given, while the latter received instruction on the battlefield.
For students lacking knowledge of magic, such as Anthony and all the other boys and girls, training days were grueling. But each night, they returned to the same training ground where they had suffered so many wounds in the past, only to face once again the cruelty of Professor Atenea. With broken bones and bruised bodies, each training session became a battle for survival.
However, despite the pain, Anthony found solace and progress in magic classes.
The professor explained concepts clearly, and he was surprised at how quickly he could grasp them, partly attributing it to the help of the little fairy that always accompanied him, though she was upset that she couldn't come out; the last time Anthony visited her and brought her a small candy, she was standing with her arms crossed, pouting, but upon seeing the candy, she instantly cheered up.
Additionally, during these days, Anthony had been talking more with Charlotte, a classmate whose cheerful and mischievous attitude surprised him; she acted normally, and whenever she had the chance, she spoke alone with Lysandra.
In summary, the first week of classes was an emotional rollercoaster of experiences.
Despite the painful nights and broken bones, of course, during those days, the professor dropped hints that something was about to happen but never gave great details; she always had a beautiful smile on her face, it had to be said that the products were very expensive, so some students already only had half of their academic points.
Monday started off normally, at least in appearance. Charlotte was particularly restless, and she couldn't resist approaching Anthony with an urgent question as she tugged on his shirt. "So, are you saying we might have a special exam today?" she exclaimed, with palpable nervousness in her voice.
Anthony, with his usual calmness, considered the possibility. "It's possible. If you notice, some of the students from the three classes seem a bit nervous," he commented, with the serenity that characterized him. Beside him, Emily added calmly, "It's true. Some seem to be worried, but they're the minority. Most show confidence."
Charlotte looked around, observing the other students walking through the hallway. Her small purple eyes glimmered slightly as she reflected on what her classmates had said. After a few seconds of silence, she nodded in agreement. "You're right, I didn't notice," she concluded.
For Charlotte, the other classes were not of great importance; only her class caught her attention, but everyone in her class always had a calm and tranquil look.
With the conversation settled, the three friends arrived at the classroom and took their usual seats. Class began with small murmurs among them, with each group of friends.
Among the groups, one stood out: Alicia, Daniela, Eleonor, Adelaide, and Victoria. They were a set of incomparable beauties who didn't go unnoticed in the classroom. On the other hand, to the surprise of many, Ezequiel and Edward began chatting with another guy named Leopold Flowerly, the last descendant of the fallen ducal house, House of Flowers.
With his pink hair as a distinctive trait, the three young men soon became friends and started spending time together during classes.
More students joined their social circles, forming an increasingly extensive and diverse network of relationships within the classroom. On the other hand, Anthony, along with Charlotte, Emily, and Lysandra, formed their own group, for the moment.
Bang!
Everyone's gaze turned to the podium on the platform at the front of the class, where Professor Atenea appeared out of nowhere, as was her custom, with her typical charming smile. Her golden eyes scrutinized all her students as she placed her hands behind her back and began to walk calmly across the front of the classroom.
"As you know, today there is an event in which the three classes will participate. It's a simple game," she announced with a serene voice as she paused for a moment and took out a crystal from her pocket, projecting a screen in front of everyone. "The rules are simple: random groups of three people will be formed.
Each group will be sent to a wide space, like a forest, mountains, deserts, snowy areas, among others. Your objective is simple: kill the creatures you find along the way."
The professor paused for a moment, letting the words resonate in the classroom before continuing to explain. "Among the three classes, there are a total of 75 participating students, which means there will be 25 groups scattered across the map. The creatures you will face will vary in rank, from the most basic to the most dangerous, classified as Base-Platinum."
After a few seconds, the professor continued her explanation. "You can kill members of other groups, but before you say anything, you should know that it won't happen in reality. Thanks to the faculty of magic, our mages will create a large space within some artifacts, in which you will be teleported into that dimensional reality.
Once dead in that reality, you won't actually die, but the sense of pain will be at 70 percent for now," she explained, with a slight sadness reflected in her eyes.
"I wanted it to be at 100 percent, but they wouldn't let me," she added with a click of her tongue, showing her annoyance. Students felt a shiver run down their spines at the thought of experiencing pain, even at a reduced percentage, in such a realistic environment.
"But anyway, as I said, all your senses will be at 100 percent, except for the sense of pain. Also, you will feel hungry, so you will have to eat what you find," the professor concluded, shrugging as if it were trivial.

She looked at the screen for a few minutes and changed to the next one: "The points you earn are distributed as follows."
(Rank F= 10 points)
(Rank E= 100 points)
(Rank D= 200 points)
(Rank C= 500 points) (You will only find Base-Platinum rank titans)
"As you can see, killing creatures of rank F is a waste of time; the others are more acceptable," Professor Atenea continued. "By the way, there will only be 15 Base-Platinum rank creatures on the entire map. Each one of them will give you 500 points. So, if you want to be first, kill them," she added, with a cold smile.
"If you manage to kill a group of three, all the points they had will be transferred directly to you," she explained enthusiastically. "Of course, for that, you need to eliminate all three of them. If one of them escapes, he will take all the points from his team. So, catch him and snatch all the points from his team! See? It's very simple and easy," she concluded with an excited laugh.
