A couple of hours later;
Azzy entered 10-A to teach a theoretical combat class subject but he faced blatant rudeness from several students in the class. Of the 39 students, only 24 students got up in respect.
15 students leaned to the backrests of their seats, showcasing their protest.
Azzy assumed that it is because of their rebellious nature, probably their overconfidence in Snivy's battle prowess including his ridiculous conditions. A whole hour and she will fail to strike him even once?
In their eyes, Azzy has already lost the match. Hence, they didn't feel the need to give any respect.
Azzy understands what they were thinking but he couldn't bother himself talking with them. Actions speak louder than words and he will do that exactly.
But for now, he had to teach the class.
After unleashing the Decarune seal and sealing everyone's soul orbs at once, he gestured for everyone to sit down. And once they sat down, he called out a name with a stern look on his face, contrary to his warm behavior with the other class or during lunch hours, "Laura."
The class monitor got up once again, "Sir."
"Is your class syllabus for the year also completed or is there something left?" He asked.
As she nodded, Azzy gestured for her to sit down and wrote the same thing on the whiteboard in Class 10-B. "Q&A"
"I'm going to see what you have learned so far about monsters and combat strategies so far." Azzy pointed his finger at the girl behind Serestia. "Student Navi, explain briefly about Galarian King and its abilities."
The girl felt relieved when he heard the question as it was the beast she fought a lot of times and was also in the textbook.
With a confident look on her face, she answered, "Galarian King is the overlord of a level-2 region named Nlethemar. It is of lightning attribute and doesn't have any particular habitat as its home but likes to stay nearby a lightning crystal.
As for its abilities, the Galarian King has four skills just like any other rank-4 monster.
Of them, the most powerful technique is it lightning dash. The skill will increase its speed temporarily by a whole realm and whatever it touches will not only receive the shock but also get induced by paralyzing effect."
"Good but you missed one very important detail." Azzy looked at the others. "Anyone knows what it is?"
The students fell into silence. Some were thinking while some looked like they didn't care. A student in the back commented, "Why should we care about a weak monster? It's not like a rank-4 like Galarian King would be a threat to us."
The question is a legit one but the way he talked clearly indicated the disrespect for the teacher.
Azzy furrowed his brows for a moment as he glared at the student before forcefully calming down himself and pointing his finger at the boy, "Your name is Daniel Eranyl, correct?"
"Yeah, so what?" Daniel continued to act like a d*ck.
Azzy then asked, "How are you related to King Ragnor Eranyl?"
"He is my grandfather," replied Daniel. He further added, "My father is the crown prince of Rivendell, Gyllan Varen Eranyl."
While he was trying to showcase his background in front of Azzy, the latter simply smiled and said, "Let me tell you something about your grandfather. Roughly about three decades ago, your grandfather, the great king Ragron who was in the legendary realm had fought with a 14-year-old kid of the Elite realm (rank-5).
Ragron might have suppressed his soul realm to match his opponent but in the end, he still lost in front of everyone. Do you know the reason?
It's because he knows nothing about his opponent's abilities, and as a result, he underestimated the kid and got humiliated himself."
Daniel's face darkened all of a sudden as he felt several gazes on him as if they were asking whether it is true. The third prince of Rivendell felt like he was humiliated by the teacher.
He wanted to refute the authenticity but before he did that, Azzy went on to rub the salt in his wound by speaking about another experience of his.
"And before that incident happened, your father, Prince Gyllan, tried to misbehave with the same kid's girlfriend as he thought a rank-5 couldn't do anything to a rank-6 like him.
This time, there were no restrictions but in the end, your father was beaten up to death and Sapphire Magnolis had to request the boy to spare your father.
Now, you should understand the power of information, Daniel. A human could still spare one's life because of humanity but a monster wouldn't. If you don't know the abilities of a monster like Galarian King, you might die a gruesome death as your strength will be restricted to rank-4 if you went there."
Daniel's face was now beet red as he was full of rage. He was under the impression that Azzy was purposely targeting him.
And it is not like he spoke some bad words either.
He only commented that there is no use to learn deeply about a monster of weak strength and that the teacher humiliated his family in such a way. He swore in his mind that whether Azzy wins the battle or not, he will talk with his father to teach Azzy a lesson.
Meanwhile, a friend or a sidekick of Daniel decided to use this opportunity to get into his good books. He raised his hand and asked, "But sir, aren't Galarian beasts native to the Nlethemar region? After graduating, there is no reason for us to visit the place, right?"
The guy named Terry thought that he was helping his friend but little did he expect that the situation will only get worse.
Leaning to the edge of his desk and folding his hands, Azzy spoke to everyone, "when I was in my teenage, an incident occurred. A Galarian King managed to mutate into a platinum-grade beast and killed the prince of Northern Qudour when he was on a trip.
When the beast ate him, it has broken through its restrictions and became a rank-5.
It assumed his identity and fooled everyone by posing as him for a whole year before killing the prince of Hildegard to break through to rank-6 and evolve into Draco-Galarian.
What's more, this Galarian King could use Prince Vann's Arcana as its own ability. Hence, without special eyes or a very high soul realm, one couldn't see through their disguises.
One day, it fled away, probably due to the target from a supreme realm expert.
Till now, no one has any idea what happened to that beast or how many such beasts escaped from their habitat and living in the midst of humans so far.
Some of the scheming humans will use that ability to their advantage. By colluding with them, they can replace kids like you with influential backgrounds with those beasts to do their bidding.
So, don't assume everything in the books is a complete truth. They won't tell you everything. The outside world there is far scarier than you think it is."
All of a sudden, a sinking feeling of panic swept over the majority of the students, a temporary paralyzing fear. They couldn't help but take a look at their friends in suspicion of whether they might be monsters in disguise.
Students with ordinary backgrounds and talent felt at ease for some reason.
Azzy captured their expressions but he ignored them and continued with his lesson, "Now, let's get back to the original topic. The Galarian King's other important quality is the fact that it is a cannibal, unlike its fellow Galarian beasts. That makes it more dangerous than the rest of the beasts.
You over there, tell me how you will deal with the Galarian King if you are stuck in deeply in the cavern, and to make it worse, your friend Daniel was lying unconscious behind you." He pointed his finger at Terry, who was startled by Azzy's earlier explanation about the monsters' disguise.
Daniel's hatred toward Azzy reached his peak. He was now sure that the teacher was targeting him on purpose.
"Me? Uhh… Yes…" Terry stood up in nervousness and stuttered as he answered, "Well, my Arcana is a flying carpet and doesn't have any offensive abilities. So, I'll focus on escaping."
"How?" Azzy pressed him by asking for a detailed explanation. "Can you ensure both of your survival?"
