YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia

Chapter 83: The Students' Nightmares

Haaap Haaap Hyaaa

Shouts full of determination and passion echoed loudly in the wide training ground as the cadets thrusted their spears and slashed their swords into the empty air with strengths capable of felling down tries in a single strike.

"Wrong! Wrong! Wrong again!" ［Grey］

But no matter how many times they brandished their weapons, they would always receive a scolding from Grey. Their flaws would always be noticed by Grey's eyes without mistake.

It is the second day of Grey and Yuna's contracted job as instructors in the Royal Academy, and currently, Grey is training the students to improve the way they execute their arts and cast their spells.

Although both were types of magics, the way they are done are totally different. While spells need a clear visualization, focus and knowledge, arts on the other hand, need precise movements, right timing, and coordination.

Compound magic created from arts and spells are even more difficult as both sets of requirements need to be met. Compound magics are something only high-rankers can use freely without much hassle.

As for special magics like summoning magic and holy magic, they take a certain amount of knowledge to even initiate, not to mention successfully casting it. They are the hardest ones to master.

"Instructor, we've been doing this for hours. We need a break!"

"That's right, Instructor! This is abuse of authority!"

"Our arms are already aching!"

The students voiced out their complaints one after another, all while drenching in their sweat from training for more than 5 hours straight. Some were even panting heavily and looked like they would collapse at any moment.

Seeing the cadets complain about something as repeating movements again and again, Grey couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed by them. Even Eliza who was much younger than them has better resolve and motivation.

If Grey was teaching Eliza, she wouldn't voice out a single word of complaint even if her arms were sore to the point she couldn't feel them. Eliza still continued even when she was on the point of collapsing.

"Hey, Grey, let us take a break. Even 15 minutes would be enougー ow!" ［Julius］

Before he could finish his words, Grey cut him off by flicking Julius' forehead with two of his fingers, making it go red from the flick. Of course, Grey held back his strength greatly, or else, Julius' head would have gone flying.

"What was that for?!" ［Julius］

"We're in class right now. Call me Instructor." ［Grey］

"What with that reasoning, Grey?ー Ah!" ［Julius］

Grey flicked Julius' forehead once again making it even redder than before. Tears even formed in the corner of his eyes. Even when Grey held back his strength, it still felt very painful.

"I said, call me Instructor." ［Grey］

"Y-Yes, Instructor..." ［Julius］

After seeing Julius' numb, red forehead, for reasons more than one, the students stopped complaining and continued with their training quietly. Neither one of them wanted to experience their heads getting flicked.

The students kept in my mind how powerful Grey was and etched into their minds the consequences of defying him. While they were certain he was at least D-rank, they weren't really sure about the extent of Grey's strength. All they could do was tread with caution, careful not to anger him.
