Angels VS Demons #1

Chapter 2: Class 1-D

Leopold was sitting at his desk in Class 1-D as he waited for the class to start. The first day had already been a disaster as the second princess of Kushida had challenged him to a battle and then he had defeated her with almost no effort. That led to many people gossiping of him, many of them wanting to be his "disciples", and even calling him one of the twelve heroes! CLASSES HADN'T EVEN BEGUN YET! "And I just wanted to live an ordinary school life..."

Even in the classroom Leopold now sat in, all of his classmates were so focused on him that conversation about other topics was limited. All Leopold could hear from the other students was...

"That's him, right?"

or 

"Maybe we could become friends with him?"

and even

"He's pretty hot when you think about it..."

Leo sighed. "I was already a big enough topic before all of this, but now... Just why in the world did a princess have to get involved with me anyway?!"  There was no telling why she had done what she had done... All he could hope for was to never see her again!

After a few more moments of waiting patiently, the teacher finally walked inside and everyone sat down at their desks for first class. "Hello, Class 1-D. My name is Mister Wakiza and I will be your teacher here at this school until you graduate. And blah blah blah whatever..." He sighed and then scanned the students before continuing. "Now let me start off with saying something all of you should know..." He look another deep breath and looked at the kids of Class 1-D. "Your all a bunch of failures plain and simple."

A number of shocked expressions filled the students of Class 1-D as they heard their teacher ridicule them. Ten seconds into the school year and they were already branded as failures?! Leo understood what the teacher was trying to say, but it was a bit harsh. "I know we're Class 1-D and have no chance to do much as real heroes, but still it's a bit rough to be told immediately you're trash."  The big smiled. "This guy is a badass!"

"Please, teacher, could you explain a bit more?" A boy with black hair asked.

"Indeed I will." Mr. Wakiza agreed. "In this school, there are a total of three types of classes you can take. First is the Hero course which is designed to train future leaders and warriors, then the Sidekick course which helps people understand basic fundamentals of society, and finally the background course which are just people who are here for their education. All of these courses are divided into three years and four classes. Class A are the most probable for becoming future heroes, Class B are the most likely, Class C is the risk taking, and Class D is the no chance."

"What do you mean by that?" a girl with brown hair asked, nervously.

"It means that in the time since this school was founded, not one person from Class D has become a hero." he explained, coldly. "This also means that if you are in this class, you are on a tightrope of sorts."

"So if we're here, we're immediately branded as failures?" a tall male exclaimed. "That's so uncool!"

"Your skill is what got you in your position, not equality." the teacher mumbled. "Still, as per my job, I will teach you how to be a hero. Your first test will be something called an occupational exam."

Leo smiled as he watched the teacher. "He just shrugged off that he ruined multiple hopes and dreams and sped to the lesson. This man is  definitely a true badass..."

"So... What exactly is an occupation exam?" someone asked the teacher.

Mr. Wakiza nodded. "An occupational exam determines what your "life path" will be. In other words, what career you will take on as you get older. We use high class magic to determine this and we've never been wrong, so the system has been in use for some 1,021 years now..."
