Healing System-Chapter 283 : First Day of Class
Yesterday was hectic, mainly because of the hot springs with Celeste.
Who knew she would try to seduce him, let alone try to wiggle her way into his life?
While he did feel something, it was just simple arousal. If anything, he felt like it didn't mean much.
But of course, he wouldn't ignore her feelings either—at least, not until he finally understood what he himself felt.
Nonetheless, it was the day the academy started—or it should be in a few minutes.
He wasn't late, since, of course, he was in the dorms. The only thing he had to do was step outside and head toward a classroom.
As for arrangements, he was unsure of how they worked, and he was too lazy to check inside his memory.
That was what the system was for.
[Arrangements? I guess there's three classes. A, B, and of course, C.] the system explained. [The headmaster had judged you all, and if I'm not mistaken, you will be in the A class, the highest. The ones who almost died would be in B, and those who did everything well but don't have a lot of talent would be in C.]
Sounds reasonable. Michael replied with a nod as he put on his white uniform and stepped out of his room.
The moment he did, Celeste came into view, standing by the windowsill—almost like she was waiting for him.
And from the smile she flashed the moment he appeared, it seemed like he was right.
"Michael, I thought you would be skipping class, if I'm being honest," Celeste said with a giggle as she approached him and grabbed hold of his arm. "I'm going to seduce you until you cave, so don't mind me."
As much as he wanted to simply throw her into a wall, he refrained, and with a sigh, began walking toward the entrance to the academy.
That was where a board stood, and hundreds of names were written on it.
They were distributed between A, B, and C classes, and he looked through each one of them just in case.
But surprisingly, his name was at the very top of A class, followed by Celeste in second.
As for Lundel and Rass? They were sadly in C class.
He could admit they weren't particularly interesting, or strong, or anything for that matter.
But he did feel a little bad knowing they were being treated like that.
[I would just ignore it. Seeing how everyone already knew them and their antics, it was likely not the first time they pulled some kind of shit like dying and coming back.] the system said. [If anything, distance yourself from those delinquents as far as you can.]
You almost sound like my dad. Michael replied with a chuckle, and after reading through the simple guidelines beside the class board, he soon began making his way toward A class.
Celeste was still clinging onto him like earlier, but now, he finally grew conscious of her breasts.
After all, his arm was squeezed in between the two of them.
Nonetheless, using mana, he calmed his boner down and kept walking straight.
Finally, he reached A class and went inside.
It was like a college lecture hall, with many seats scattered around.
Without hesitation, he began making his way to the very back of the class.
Since this Angel of Mercy stuff was half-assed and sounded boring on the surface, he would make sure to pay just enough attention to pass.
In his free time, Michael would focus on getting enough power by secretly infusing his mana core with as much mana as he could.
After all, despite him dying and coming back again, he had eons of experience now, so the most efficient ways of gathering mana were a walk in the park.
It was just a pity his system interface didn't work anymore, but he wouldn't bring that up for the time being.
If he did, it could expose him.
"You're like a statue, Michael," Celeste remarked, as instead of sitting down in her seat, she sat on his lap. "Why don't you stiffen up properly?"
"Celeste, I appreciate you trying to seduce me, but..." Michael pointed all around the classroom. "Don't you think you should hold back when there are people watching? You know, you have an image to maintain after all."
"Image? They know me as the perfect girl who gets perfect grades and fights like some perfect maiden," she replied with a scoff. "The only thing I want is to have some fun."
"But it sounds to me like you're only seeking comfort after having your heart shattered by the last guy you liked," Michael said with a tilt of his head. "Or am I wrong?"
She looked sternly into his eyes. "You are wrong. I liked him when I was young, and he was young too. Now he's married, and probably will have a child on the way soon. I'm not a homewrecker."
"Is that so..." Michael grabbed her by the waist before gently placing her down on the desk, his hands traveling up her skirt. "Just know everyone has their limits, Celeste."
But as her face began growing redder, he let out a sigh and stopped.
"I'm just kidding, sit down. The instructor is right outside the door."
"Jeez..." Celeste let out a hot breath and sat down beside him. "I thought you finally fell for me there."
"Told you I don't fall for others that fast," Michael said with a chuckle, and finally, the instructor entered.
Alongside him were a lot of students, almost like they didn't know the path.
Now that he thought about it, the academy was pretty large, so it was a bit of a surprise he managed to find his way so quickly.
But for now, he would attribute it to his past knowledge.
Nonetheless, the instructor stood by the blackboard, and when the students finally sat down, he introduced himself.
"Greetings, everyone. I'm happy you're here, sincerely. My name is Arthur. I know, a simple and unimposing name for someone with my stature," the instructor, Arthur, stated as he let out a chuckle.
"Despite that, I believe in mutual respect. If you respect me, I will respect you. If not, then we will deal with our grievances personally."
As those words fell, Michael could feel Arthur's gaze shifting toward him.
And soon, he spoke.
"Michael Light, correct? I heard you're a genius. It's always a pleasure to have someone like you on board."
Despite those words seeming nice, Michael could feel a tinge of malice.
Nonetheless, he didn't let it show.
"Thank you, instructor, or should I simply call you instructor Arthur?" Michael said with a smile, maintaining respect.
"Haha... Just Arthur is fine. I believe all of us can become great friends," Arthur stated, glancing at each and every student present. "But of course, even if we're friends, I won't be making your grades higher, nor will I help you cheat. So just be prepared to get what you are worth."
Everyone nodded in unison, including Michael and Celeste.
"He's a bit off." Celeste whispered, making Michael place his hand over her mouth and signal for her to be quiet.
"I know, so don't say anything. It will only make a bounty appear on our heads." Michael said, and as he did, he suddenly felt his palm getting wetter.
With that, her expression was turning red, prompting him to take his hands off her mouth.
"Did you just lick me?" Michael asked, shocked.
However, instead of a response, he merely received a giggle before she began paying attention to what Arthur was saying.
What a weirdo. Michael thought with a sigh.
[I agree, but I can't say I dislike this personality. I had a soft spot for wild girls like this in the past.] the system added. [If anything, I even preferred them.]
I know you did... Michael rolled his eyes, not directly saying it to the system.
After all, before he went to the military, he had spent some time with girls like this.
Obviously, a lot of them weren't wife material, but the sex was simply stellar.
But Celeste over here seemed like both wife material and, well...
Michael decided to stop his thoughts there, as he infused even more mana to stop his boner from showing.
It seemed like Arthur was just about finished with explaining the basics, and soon, the lesson would actually start.
"Now everyone, we will be picking the class president, and of course, the vice president—"
"We'll do it." Celeste stated, shooting up from her chair and raising Michael's hand in the process.
"I'll be the vice president, and he will be the class president. Is that fine with everyone?" she asked, trailing her cold gaze across the entire classroom.
Noting down the silence, Arthur let out a sigh.
Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.
"Okay, you two can be whatever you want. It's only a formality in the end anyway. Not a lot of extra work will be added."
Celeste sat back down, satisfied, before flashing him a cheeky grin.
[Nice, you just got the most annoying position in the entire school, right after the janitor.] the system said with a whistle.
Great... Perfect... Fuck. Michael felt like slamming his head on the desk but refrained as Arthur's final words fell.
"Let's learn a bit about the Angel of Mercy, shall we?"
