Sorry for that, I thought I had introduced myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia Dracoth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She extended her hand to my chest level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t that too high?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at her hand for a moment before reciprocating the gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands... they were softer than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or does every girl have such soft hands?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might be something reserved for royals... maybe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kael.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I replied in a quiet voice, not wanting to overextend my already energy-deprived body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia was stunned for a moment before switching to her previous self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that rude?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... Are you a research scholar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked, stepping closer to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t she meant to be royalty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That depends on what you think a scholar is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I replied while my gaze was fixed on the instructor, who now seemed ready to register the weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t a scholar a... scholar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia’s confused voice reached my ears. I turned to look at her, only to find her standing even closer to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though I was a confident guy... wasn’t this distance too intimate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, I kept a straight face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t actively research things that I already know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept a straight face as an urge to flex emerged in my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for what I research... that is above your station.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Above my station?

I have work to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cutting Amelia off, I headed towards the instructor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the students now stood before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could sense Amelia following behind me, her eyes fixed on my back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough... May I have everyone’s attention!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall went silent as all eyes turned towards the instructor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This here is one of the weapon masters of the academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The junior instructor turned towards an old man who stood with a notebook in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the attention was now on him, the old man stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The name’s Darwin! The Dwarf Darwin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darwin announced his identity with a loud shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of the students who were standing nearby had to press their hands against their ears to protect them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied with the reaction, Darwin let out a snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ya all fellas look so weak. But Nemur says you need my weapons. So I give ya the weapons, but all of them weak. Weak weapons for weaklings.

Namda really was good at being neutral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could see the sour expressions on the faces of many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not caring for them in the slightest, Darwin opened his notebook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me ya name and I shall record the weapon for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darwin’s voice became serious at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the instructor near him informed Darwin of the respective names of the students and Darwin...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, he shouted the name across the hall before recording the weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon it was Noah’s turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noah... Hm? That sword. Tough fella.\" Darwin had a look of appreciation as he saw the broadsword in Noah’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seconds turned into minutes, and now it was my turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kael Frost—Weapon 201. Next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each weapon was given a sequence number for easy identification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I patted John’s shoulder as it was his turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was he shaking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked toward his face, only to find John with an uneasy expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could ask—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"John...
