The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

However, even after the door was fully opened, what she was hoping for still didn't happen.

really......

Mentor Ryan had absolutely no feelings for him...

It was all just wishful thinking on my part.

A wave of bitterness and pain washed over Claire, and she felt like crying.

But just then, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Oh, right, Claire!"

Claire's heart skipped a beat.

She stopped.

You look really beautiful today.

Claire suddenly turned around!

Her long hair swung, and her skirt fluttered.

Then she saw the man she had always longed for, bathed in moonlight, smiling brightly.

"More beautiful than the moonlight tonight..."

The night breeze lifted her hair and stirred her blossoming heart.

Her soul was stirred and could no longer be calmed.

Claire knew.

From this moment on, a part of my heart belongs to him forever.

If one day, he leaves.

Then one is no longer whole.

Claire's feet moved uncontrollably toward Ryan, and when she came to her senses, she was already in his arms.

Tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Mentor Ryan... please don't leave me again..."

"Please... stay by my side forever..."

Fate sometimes likes to play tricks on people.

Even tomorrow's events are uncertain.

Who can say for sure what will happen in a lifetime?

But this did not stop Ryan from comforting the trembling girl in his arms.

"Don't worry, I'm always here."

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Stress Test

Ever since that day in the hallway when she saw Ryan's punishment revoked, Nina hasn't been able to get a good night's sleep.

Every night, I toss and turn, unable to sleep, because of my anger.

This is so annoying!

Ryan, that bastard, is just an ordinary mentor, at most a bit younger and with some ability.

Looking across the entire academy, there are mages with five circuits everywhere.

What makes him, Ryan, so special that the dean himself could have the punishment revoked?

Why!

Is it because he's handsome?!

Nina didn't understand.

But apart from her, West didn't really understand either.

The old man is right. Now that Olina has information about the Church of Immortality, they must proceed with caution for safety's sake.

After all, Ryan was just an ordinary mentor, so why was the punishment against him revoked?

Is there any necessary connection between acting cautiously and rescinding Ryan's punishment?

Is it really just because of Tracy, as the old man said?

I had a feeling that things weren't that simple.

Amidst this feeling of frustration and entanglement, the college ushered in a new day.

The mentors who had completed their alliances began to switch classrooms to make their classes as close as possible to facilitate their future teaching tasks.

With West's help, Nina formed an alliance with a group of top classes.

Not only are the students the pride of their respective empires, but the instructors are also celebrities in the academy.

It can be said that Nina's team is the strongest team so far and the biggest favorite to win the championship.

Ryan, of course, also completed the classroom change.

However, it was Tracy and her family who moved in.

Because the teaching building where Class Zero was located was in a remote area, and the classrooms were quite dilapidated, and because there were rumors among the students that the place seemed to be cursed and that ghosts would appear at night, many students disliked the place.

So after the classes were merged, the instructors worked almost overnight to change classrooms.

In less than a day, only Class Zero, namely Ryan and Claire, remained in the entire building.

I thought that after the classes were combined, I would have to move out too.

Unexpectedly, after taking a look around, Tracy and her friends immediately decided to use this place as their classroom after the class was combined.

"Don't you think there's nowhere more suitable as our secret base than here?"

Secret base...

Ryan had never imagined that he would hear such words, which were usually only used by children, coming from these female mentors who were already adults.

However, for Ryan, whether or not to switch doesn't actually have much impact.

He has been here for a while and is very familiar with everything here.

It saves time that would otherwise be spent adapting to the environment.

"alright!"

Today, Freya is dressed in a black robe adorned with red rose patterns, exuding a restrained yet flamboyant air.

Ryan and the others stood on either side.

Standing in front of them were eight classes, totaling 367 students.

"From today onwards, we are officially in the same class. From now on, there is no longer the concept of a class between us; we are all classmates. Whether in life or in our studies, we should help each other and make progress together!"

"Your first strength assessment will be coming up soon. This test is crucial to your studies over the next few years and forms the foundation for your path to becoming a mage. Therefore, during this time, you must give it your all and strive to improve your skills!"

Looking at Freya reading the contents with such seriousness, Ryan found it hard to connect her with the woman who had tried to lift his skirt in his house before.

Norma was the next to speak.

Norma, tossing her short, flowing hair and dressed in a smart suit, walked up to the students and began explaining the arrangements for the combined classes.

Since the class monitors had already noted down the key points and told their classmates as soon as they returned to class, Norma only talked about some of the key points.

Victor, as the instructor of the theoretical foundation courses, is mainly responsible for the general courses.

Tracy, Freya, Veranica, Daphne, Mila, and Norma are responsible for the magic theory and practice courses of their respective attributes.

Ryan is the most capable tutor overall, and therefore he teaches the most courses.

He was responsible for both the daily teaching of the light-attribute students and their practical training.

Upon hearing that there would be practical classes, these greenhorns who had only recently enrolled all cheered excitedly.

After all, the purpose of learning magic is for fighting.

They were tired of the monotonous days of shooting targets all day and had been craving something more exciting.

Ryan saw everything.

After the announcement, the students were divided into seven groups according to their attributes, and Ryan also gathered all the instructors together for a short meeting.

"These little guys are all so eager to try, it's all too obvious."

"Therefore, I think that as the first class after the classes are combined, we should take them to do something exciting."

Freya became interested: "Those wild boys, they've only learned magic for a few days and they've become so arrogant. We really should use some methods to teach them a lesson."

"So, Mentor Ryan, what do you plan to do?"

How to do it?

If you're looking for excitement, you have to go for something big.

Moreover, this course will also serve to solidify the instructor's authority.

Ryan already has a good idea.

"Near the academy, there is a place called the Misty Forest, which is shrouded in mist all year round. The narrow field of vision and the complex terrain make it very suitable as a battlefield."

"I plan to take the students to the misty forest for a live-fire exercise."

Norma stroked her chin: "So, are we going to go out and catch some wild animals or something to give the students a stress test?"

Ryan shook his finger.

"The threat level of wild animals is too low, and they are not easy to control. During the course, we not only have to record the abilities of each student, but also have to pay attention to these wild animals, which is troublesome and prone to accidents."

After saying that, Ryan looked around and said, "Since we're going to have to do stress tests anyway, why don't we do it ourselves?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes widened.

Only Norma laughed heartily.
