A brave man may not live, but he cannot die

Chapter 98 God Class
"it is good--"

Amemiya Ningning leaned on the podium, looking at the four students sitting in the slightly empty classroom.

The four desks are placed far apart, giving off a cold and distant feeling.

On the way from the auditorium to the classroom, no one even said hello to each other, as if they were strangers.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this classroom will be our home for the Divination Department for the next five years~"

Amemiya Ningning pointed her wand and her name appeared on the blackboard.

"Everyone should have taken my class, but let me introduce myself anyway. I'm Amamiya Ningning. You can call me Teacher Ningning." She said with a smile, "This is a privilege given to you. Doesn't it sound intimate?"

A boy suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with Lord Cavendish of the Kingdom of Roan?"

"Family relationship."

Amamiya Ningning winked at him and said, "I hope you'll raise your hand before asking a question next time."

Another boy raised his hand.

But he seemed to be just using the raising of his hand as a prelude to speaking. Without even waiting for Amamiya Nene to nod, he asked directly, "Are you the only one in the Divination Department?"

Amamiya Ningning raised her chin and motioned everyone to look at Quinn, who was sitting on the desk in the back row like a bad boy.

"That's Mr. Quinn, the teaching assistant of the Divination Department. You can come to him if you have any problems in life."

"What can he teach us?"

"Health care, sanitation, and radio gymnastics."

Quinn said indifferently, "Teacher Ningning means that you can come to me for life problems, but forget about any problems related to the arcane. You should go to her."

The boy frowned unhappily.

"So, doesn't that mean the Divination Department's faculty is much weaker than other departments?"

"Wow, the teacher is so sad to hear this."

Amamiya Ningning pretended to wipe away her tears. "Actually, there's no difference. The class just put everyone's schedule together. The teachers remain the same. Besides teaching Divination, I'll mainly be responsible for your safety when you enter the Forbidden Forest."

"But you're not even a professor." He said something particularly harsh: "Where's the director of the Divination Department? Why don't you let him lead us?"

"Director," Amamiya Ningning sighed, "He's on a business trip and hasn't come back yet. If he came back, I'd be happy to give him the job, but it's hard to say whether he can come back before you graduate."

"Can I switch classes?"

"You can try to apply to the Admissions Department, but there's no precedent in the academy's history for changing Merlin's Hat's decision."

The boy covered his forehead, as if he had compromised.

"Okay, what are your strengths compared to the teachers in other departments? What can I gain from following you?"

Amamiya Nene said proudly:

"I'm very rich and can treat you to a feast in the city every week."

"?"

A girl raised her hand timidly.

He has dry yellow hair, a chubby face with some light freckles, and his appearance can be rated five points. He looks unremarkable.

Amemiya Ningning had a good impression of her. When Celia was assigned to the Divination Department, she was the only one who applauded and welcomed her along with the two teachers.

"Ms. Megan, please speak~"

"Teacher Ningning, I want to ask you something."

Her voice was so soft that you had to listen carefully to hear it clearly: "There are so few people in our Divination Department. Will the funding be less than that of other classes?"

"Funding. You mean the shopping budget provided by the academy?"

Amamiya Ningning thought for a moment and said, "No, this has nothing to do with the class. It's based on the grade ranking in each exam. If you work hard, you will improve."

"But." Megan looked down at the table and said weakly, "I heard there will be class funding."

"Eh? Is there such a thing?"

Amamiya Ningning subconsciously looked at Quinn.

Quinn nodded helplessly.

"Yes, it's based on the Forbidden Forest Trial's results. It doesn't matter how many people participate, it's calculated based on the average. The maximum amount per semester is one thousand pounds, and the lowest-ranked students receive nothing. By the way, why don't you take a look at the work documents I answered for you?"

Amamiya Ningning immediately patted her chest and said, "Small problem! It's just a thousand gold pounds, I helped the academy to cover it——"

"The document specifically states that teachers are strictly prohibited from bribing students with money, not even a penny," Quinn read. "Violators will be reported to their families and criticized."

"Wow!! Targeting me! The school is targeting me!" Amamiya Nene was about to burst into tears. "Now I have no special skills at all."

Celia laughed secretly in the audience.

Teacher Ningning seems to be easier to get along with than the old-fashioned teachers in other departments.

"Well, you're the only one left. Miss Celia, do you have any questions?"

"Huh? Me?"

Celia shook her head. "No, I'm very happy to be in the same class with Teacher Ningning. Teacher Quinn too." Amemiya Ningning walked to Celia with a motherly smile on her face, stretched out her claws and messed up her fluffy cold tea brown curly hair, like she was plucking a kitten.

"That's great~ I like girls with nice smells~"

Celia smiled innocently.

"Anyway, regardless of what everyone thinks, the four of you will be teammates entering the Forbidden Forest together for the next five years. Introduce yourselves one by one, your hometown, age, expertise in arcane arts, dreams, etc. Celia, you starting?"

Celia nodded obediently, then stood up and said crisply:
"My name is Celia, I'm seventeen years old, and I'm from Ashville. My family runs a music bar in Eastville. If you're free, come and listen to some music, and I'll make you some juice! My specialty is... well, I don't have any specialties yet... My dream is to become a pianist..."

The girl bowed seriously to everyone, including Quinn.

"I'm not very fast at learning the arcane, but I'll try my best! Please take good care of me!"

Quinn immediately took the lead in applauding, followed closely by Amamiya Ningning. Although everyone was reluctant, the two teachers had an attitude of "we won't stop until you applaud", so they had to clap their hands sparsely, and the class finally looked a bit like a collective.

Quinn noticed something interesting.

Both boys seemed to have no interest in Celia and didn't even look at her.

Instead, the girl named Megan would steal a glance at her from time to time.

"Then, men first?"

Amamiya Ningning looked at the most impolite boy.

He didn't hesitate and stood up straight with the help of crutches - the boy was a lame man and needed the help of crutches to stand steadily.

"Adolf, fourteen years old, from the Northern Continent of Leithania. His specialty is voodoo, and his dream is to destroy the Philippian Empire and kill the Emperor."

After he finished speaking, he sat down without waiting for applause.

Quinn was shocked. What a wild dream!
I clapped my hands immediately, thinking I had met Hitler from another world.

Another boy also stood up and said lazily, "Seven, 15 years old, from Roen. My family runs a brothel. You can come and visit anytime you want. I invite you to visit me. My specialty is medicine, and I can treat things like premature ejaculation. My dream is to invent a cheap and effective aphrodisiac."

Quinn clapped his hands even harder, damn it, Bian Que.

These words were so vulgar that the two girls looked at him with disgust, as if they were looking at garbage.

"Wait." Amamiya Ningning's attention was not on the person below. "It seems that prostitution is illegal in Ron, right?"

Seven nodded honestly.

"Yeah, so my family runs an illegal brothel."

"." Amamiya Ningning laughed angrily, "What's the address?"

"Then I can't tell you. Your family members are cops."

Amamiya Ningning finally understood why he asked Lord Cavendish.

I will be blessed in the next five years.

The last person to introduce herself was Megan.

She hesitated for a long time before she stood up timidly, not daring to look at anyone, and said quickly and anxiously:
"My name is Megan, I'm fifteen years old and I'm from Britain."

She got stuck after saying just a few words, as if she had forgotten her prepared speech.

Amemiya Ningning ran to her, squatted in front of her, and looked at her encouragingly.

"Don't worry, take your time. There are only five of us here, so don't be nervous."

"Father, my father is a soldier who excels in the arcane art of circuit tuning. His dream is to be a housewife."

Her voice grew quieter and quieter, until finally, perhaps only Quinn, whose hearing was enhanced by his extraordinary qualities, could hear it.

It wasn't until she was completely silent for a while that Celia was the first to react and applaud. Megan's head seemed to shrink into her neck.

Amamiya Ningning looked at Quinn with difficulty. It would be difficult to lead this team of gods into the Forbidden Forest.

Quinn looked like he was watching a show.

"Well, thank you all for introducing yourselves."

Amemiya Ningning returned to the podium and waved her wand. A parchment scroll with a forest painting on it rolled down from the blackboard.

"Without wasting time, let me explain to you what the Forbidden Forest Trial is—this is the purpose of the academy's special class division. Originally, only second-year students who have mastered the arcane arts could enter the Forbidden Forest, but since you will be entering the battlefield upon graduation, you will have to undergo additional training."

The students had no objection to "going to the battlefield".

Grindelwald does not charge tuition and does not discriminate against class. There is only one condition for admission:

When the world needs you, join the war against demons.

"Although it's called a 'trial', you only need to stay in it for a full hour. After all, you are just freshmen, and the academy won't force you to take any action in the Forbidden Forest."

Celia raised her hand curiously and asked, "Teacher, what exactly is the Forbidden Forest?"

Amemiya Ningning waved her magic wand, and the entire parchment scroll turned over, revealing the yellowed side.

Printed on the reverse side of the parchment scroll is a chaotic void that is as abstract and chaotic as Van Gogh's famous painting "Starry Night", which seems to be able to swallow everything.

"The Forbidden Forest is one of the entrances to the abyss sealed by the brave Merlin."
