ALMIGHTY

Chapter 26: Anything, M' Lord

Horu shoved the classroom door open.

They—Horu, Kaede, and Simon—found themselves in a large lecture hall. Someway or the other, they were the first to arrive, after the teacher.

The teacher was a white-skinned man in his early twenties. His hair was dark brown and medium length. He had thin glasses on and looked like an athlete, the way his body was built.

He seemed like a person who went to the gym daily and spent hours on end on the treadmill. His attire comprised a brown dress shirt with the top unbuttoned. He wore white trousers that reached just above his ankles.

The teacher finished preparing the presentations he made on the smartboard and turned around as he heard the noise of the door shoving open.

"Good morning. My name is Sung Jun-Do and I'll be your Magic History teacher! Nice to meet you..."

"Kaede. Umazugawa Kaede! Nice to meet you, sir!"

She looked a bit too excited as she introduced herself. Horu got a bit jealous of the man.

He was athletic, a teacher, and also good-looking.

"Nice to meet you. Why don't you take a seat, the rest of your class should be arriving soon."

He pointed at the large seats and tables in the hall. They were all connected in rows, whereas there was a split in the middle, the stairs. The lighting in the room was customizable. The lightbulbs above the teacher's stage were the only ones to be lit, making the rest of the lecture hall just bright enough for the students to make notes.

Horu tried to introduce himself, but the teacher's attention was taped to Kaede. It took a moment before Horu's presence got some notice.

"Horu. Sakaki Horu."

"Interesting. The star of the show. Tell me, how did you do it?"

Horu looked confused.

"Do what...?"

"Destroy the Tower of Challenge. Nobody in history would be able to do such a thing. I doubt even the Holy Maiden couldn't!"

"Yeah... sure."

Horu dropped the conversation as he noticed the teacher got too excited. He followed behind Kaede and took a seat on the fourth front row. She joyously sat down on the bench and leaned on Horu's shoulder.

Not a second later, the lecture hall began getting filled with students.

"Man, here we go again!"

A male student said with his arms behind his head as he slumped his body backward. He looked extremely nonchalant.

"Damn... my vacation was just getting fun, man!"

"Don't lie to yourself, Kazuma. Your vacation was probably ass cheeks, bro."

The third student of the group followed behind the second, who trailed the first and took a seat at the top row.

The three students that stood out looked like delinquents who muscled their way through the Tower of Challenge. Of course, they sat down on the top row of benches. They wore the same uniform as everyone else; pitch-black colored uniforms with white outlines on the end of the sleeves.

The girls had on skirts, as usual. The skirts were outlined with white. The logo had a bronze circle with 'Furrèl Magic Academy' on them in big letters. The attention grabber of the logo was the Tower of Challenge in white.

The female students giggled and gossiped as they loudly entered the lecture hall.

"Wow..."

"Is that him?"
