I Choose The Heroine's Route

44 Monsters Mastery

When it was already around 12:35 AM, I finally headed back to the classroom after eating from the cafeteria. When I reached my seat, my eyes met Anastasia's and I didn't dare to miss out on the chance to at least nod unlike before. Fortunately, she nodded back at me. Anakin also grinned at me with a 'hey', but I chose to just give him a blank look, not really knowing what to say. I ignored his look of disbelief, obviously offended because I didn't respond to him and just sat down.

It was around 12:55 when a female teacher arrived. We watched her walk towards the teacher's desk, and when we all thought she was going to introduce herself like all the teachers usually do before teaching – she slammed both of her hands down on the table, creating a loud bang.

From my peripheral point of view, I could see how most of the other students flinched.

I almost did as well.

"Today, I'll be teaching you all about the Monsters that exist in our world!" She exclaimed as she grabbed the remote that controls the viewing screen, and an image showing different kinds of monsters was then showed, "As you all might already know, we don't assess monsters as A, B level, and such, we just call them Low, Average, High, and Elite Class Monsters depending on what kind of monsters they are, and how strong they are which can be observed or known through different categories or characteristics." She continues.

Listening to her like this, I could tell based on the other students' expressions that they don't exactly know how to react yet. They're definitely thinking something along the line of; Are you not going to introduce yourself first?

Since there was no introduction or warning first, and the female teacher went straight into discussing how monsters are labeled, it suddenly felt like everything was going too fast at the moment.

"Now, name a monster then state their class and explain why that's their class." At this sudden recitation, the whole classroom seems to be still for a moment.

I couldn't help but avoid my eyes from looking at the front or anywhere near the teacher.

This reminds me of those times or situations from my world before where a teacher would suddenly just ask a question that she's actually supposed to just talk about as if expecting that everyone already has advanced or just enough knowledge about it.

Well... I guess it's to be expected since this is Class A, and I'm sure most of the students here also do already have knowledge about it if not all – but after the classes from before where there have been some actual introduction regarding the topic, this is quite different. I guess this is just normal, the others are also probably just hesitating on answering even though they have an answer.

"What? No one from Class A –?" Just as the female teacher was speaking, I saw a familiar-looking person standing up. A girl with pink hair and purple eyes. I frowned a little.

I should know her... but I forgot her name. Sometimes, I would just have these moments wherein I can clearly recognize a person's face and sometimes even the events of how I met them, but I'm unable to remember their name. I guess I just have a bad memory when it comes to things like this, especially on remembering a birthday or holiday dates and such.

"May I, Miss?" Although she asked that, she still continued speaking without waiting for the teacher's response.

"Goblin. It's an Average Class monster. As for the reason why, although they're small, it's not that easy to fight them because they can be quite clever and playful especially when there's a lot of them. There was a study stating that since Goblins can not be considered as a High Class monster, but can not also be underestimated as a Low Class monster, it was decided that it's an Average Class monster." She stated.
