It was 9:00 a.m. when the students of the Ace Class finished their morning run, and their first day of classes today was very simple. This morning, the students had theory classes and continental history. In the afternoon, the students had practical classes.

  This first class was a theory class, divided into tactical theory and magic theory.

  At first Yu just sat in his seat and stared blankly at Elsa next to him, but then after getting a hard stare from Kerr, he honestly started to listen to Kerr's lecture.

  This lecture also really surprised Yu, in his impression, humans should still be only the era of white-sword warfare, with a small number of people having magical talents.

  When Yu was hanging out at the Adventurer's Guild, he was only looking at Missy every day and didn't pay attention to these details. So it wasn't until just now that he learned that most humans today possess the talent to use magic, just to a greater or lesser extent.

  A portion of the population is so magically gifted that they can use magic in direct combat, while many more use it to improve their quality of life, or combine it with white-sword combat techniques as a way to improve their combat prowess.

  After that when Kerr started talking about the tactical theory of hunting magical beasts, Yu started to doze off.

  The next class on the history of the development of the continent was no longer taught by Kerr, but was replaced by a very short old man. Yu was not interested in the History of Human Development , so he turned his face away and looked again towards Elsa, who was not far to her right.

  Now there are only two things on Yu's mind, the first is how to develop a relationship with this young lady named Elsa so that he can marry her later as his wife. The second is how not to be suspected by Kerr that he was the one who saved her that day.

  『The boy who was longing for a girl, sitting in the penultimate row over there, stand up and answer this question for me!』

The short old man on the podium pointed at Yu and shouted. All the students in the class looked at Yu at once, however Yu didn't notice the problem, still looking at Elsa insanely. Even though the people next to her didn't know the situation, Elsa knew it in her heart, and she instantly buried her head in her book with a red face.

『Hey! The lovesick guy!!! That old man Gale is calling you!』

The female student sitting in front of Yu pulled on Yu's cuffs, which pulled Yu out of his fantasy.

「What??」

Yu, who hadn't been listening to the lecture, stood up at once, overwhelmed.

『Don’t drag your feet. Quickly answer who blew up the Hanging City 1,300 years ago?』

The teacher repeated the question from the class earlier.

「I didn't blow it up on purpose!」

 Yu blurted out without even thinking about it, which made the whole class go crazy with laughter.

『This guy is so damn funny!!!』

『It's really just like Ms. Kerr said, he really has a lot of guts! Even Professor Gale, who is known as the emperor of the history world, dares to tease.』

The atmosphere was very lively in the class, but only Professor Gale on the stage had an iron face angrily. Because no student had ever dared to answer his questions like that in his class.

  However, the correct answer to this question is the First Apostle Youlman, but Yu definitely did not mean to blow up the Hanging City. He usually stays at home all year round, never steps out of the door. He stays at home just to read and sleep.

 The reason Yu went to Hanging City was his sister was in trouble outside. Therefore, Yu went to apologize.

    Because at that time Yu had started to slowly learn to seal his power, it led to the other side not noticing Yu's identity. So the other side humiliated his sister in front of the crowd.

     The result was ......

     Besides, at that time Yu went before drinking so much wine ....

     So...

"I really didn't mean to do it!"

  Unfortunately, the students present where not aware of these things. In their eyes, Yu was deliberately playing a trick on Professor Gale.

『I'm giving you one last chance. if you can't answer, get out of this Ace Class right now! You have to understand that I have the power to make you leave the school!』

  The class immediately fell silent as soon as the little old man Gale's words came out, because no one would want to leave this class. After all, with this seniority, the Imperial Royal Academy Ace Class, no matter where you go, don’t worry about the money of life. And perhaps even better, due to your academic qualifications from the Imperial Royal Academy Ace Class, you may work for the Imperial Government straight out of school, which will not only make your family more prestigious and admirable, but also make yourself look good and famous. 

As for Yu, he didn't want to leave. Not only are there so many beautiful ladies here, but there is also beautiful Elsa, plus an unexpectedly very cute Kerr who is a bit indifferent but very cute.

As a single dog for a long time,Yu didn't want to miss the opportunity to make friends with these pretty ladies.

Yu gulped nervously for a moment.

『Listen to the question for me now! There were many times in the history of mankind that produced head-to-head encounters with the Apostles, may I ask what was the key reason that turned the tide of the battle between mankind and the Seventh Apostle three hundred years ago?』

Gale’s question made all students confused and incomprehensible when he asked the question.

  Everyone must know who turned the tide of the war because it's a required part of history class. However, nobody knows what the key reason was that turned the tide of the war. Besides, the answer is not written in the book, maybe the answer is strong will and never give up the spirit. But since the question was asked by Gale, who is the emperor of the historical world, it must not be that simple.

  At this point, in the eyes of these students, Yu had undoubtedly pissed off Professor Gale.
