[Regular Daily Chapter ( I owe is still at 8)]

(EP-65.1) Shadow #1

065 – Shadows Looming Ark #1

The first weekend after school started disappeared in an instant.

I slept through the whole Sunday after coming back from the haunted mansion.

Perhaps, it was because I had encountered a ghost in the middle of the night and watched the sunrise in the morning with my now-chess partner Narmi, that my body was exhausted.

━See you later, Theo! Keep it a secret from my sister that you met me!

━Goodbye, take care!

As soon as I got back to the dorm, my body drooped like wet cotton once I laid down on the bed.

By the time I woke up, it was already Monday morning.

Upon opening my eyes, I discovered someone looking down at me from the bedside.

Someone with deep blue eyes.

There were very few associates of mine with eyes like these...

“It’s morning. MORNING. Wake up!”

It was Elga.

Elga had come to wake me up.

According to the rules, women were prohibited from entering the men’s dormitory, but Elga did not care about that and just barged in like always. Well, as someone who ranked 5th, there was no one capable of stopping her anyway.

“Didn’t I tell you to wake up!?”

At Elga’s urging, I rubbed my sleepy eyes and got up.

A quick look at the clock revealed that it was 8 in the morning. Usually the first lecture started at 9 o’clock, so if I prepared quickly, there should be just enough time.

“Why are you waking up so late? Did you want me to pick you up or something?”

‘Pick me up...’

As I thought of what the lecture I was taking with Elga today could be, I realized that my only Monday lecture was the ‘Introduction to Combatology’.

... But that wasn’t a lecture with Elga, was it?

Without any hesitation, Elga grabbed my pajamas and lifted me into the air, as if grabbing a stray cat on the nape.

“Go wash up and get ready!”

At the sound of Elga’s scream, my drowsiness immediately faded away. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

Benjamin and Hans, who were lying on their beds, also got woken up. Rubbing their eyes, they asked, “What’s happening?”

Being in the same room as me, they were caught in the crossfire.

Afraid that Elga would cause more harm to the surrounding people, I quickly finished washing my face and showering. Finally, I was ready to go to class.

Today’s lecture was an introduction to combatology.

Was it a hands-on lecture taught by an instructor who was formerly a famous mercenary?

Despite the practicality of this subject, I was fairly certain that it would be newbie and beginner friendly, considering that the word ‘Introduction’ was in its title.

“Speaking of, I didn’t expect Elga-nim to also take the ‘Introduction to Combatology’.”

Elga didn’t need to learn combat mechanics. She was already a seasoned warrior who had been honed in the battlefield, not just in mere practice.

However, it seemed that Elga had a plan of her own.

“Maybe I’ll find hints that can help me master my axe.”

“I see...”

“Then let’s hurry and go! Don’t you know that we have to arrive 10 minutes before the lecture starts?”

... Was Elga more of an honor student than expected?

I thought she was the type who’d always be late and just scroll through her smartphone at the back of the class...

Introduction to Combatology was an outdoor lecture.
