After the greetings, the ti flew by, and soon the first class began, with nearly half of the classmates having changed.
Our horoom teacher stepped up on the podium, addressing us.
"Good morning, everyone. Since new face may not know, I am Phyllis. Please call Phyllis-sensei. We only have about half a year left, so let's make it a productive ti."
Phyllis-sensei continued to be the horoom teacher of Class-1. I guess, since the class reshuffle was only ant for students, it made sense classroom teachers would remain the sa regardless.
I was glad she'd been continuing as our class teacher. After her, the co-horoom teacher introduced herself, she was, of course, Ladvena-sensei.
Class-1 also had a second co-horoom teacher, Mukai-sensei, but he was there in case of ergency, so he wasn't present. If anything, I heard he'd been the backup for multiple classes. Apparently, he was providing assistance to newly hired teachers. But I wonder how he would be assisting them given his taciturn personality.
After the teachers' introductions, it was ti for a long horoom session for student self-introductions.
Nearly half the class had changed, after all. Most of them I knew, but there were a few I hadn't spoken to before.
"I'm Riyana, previously a student of Class-5. My go-to weapon is the spear, and my job is «Ice Lancer». I currently belong to the A-rank guild, «Sun Hunter». Nice to et you all."
Ah, I rember seeing her in the class competition. So, an Ice Lancer, huh? She's got a pretty good job.
The job, «Ice Lancher», had a particularly convenient skill—«Ice Gliding». It was capable of freezing the ground beneath one's feet, making it quite convenient to reach out for small islands surrounded by water bodies to claim those treasure chests.
Plus, it looks incredibly cool. It was a pretty popular job.
"I'm Nagi, also coming from Class-5! Everyone, nice to et you. Oh, my job is Raven, so I'm good at stealth-type skills. I'm affiliated with the B-rank guild, Success Brain."
She was a complete new face to . Well, I did see her chatting rrily with Rina. I see, so she's from Class-5.
Raven was a stealth-type job that excelled at surprise attacks and could contribute to combat as a decoy tank. Oh, a decoy tank was a skill that shifts aggro onto sothing or transfers it to an avatar, primarily assisting the main tank in building aggro or substituting for a tank caught up in dire scenarios.
Instead of two tanks, you could say it enhances one tank, strengthening the tank's aggro to increase combat stability. However, its combat ability itself wasn't particularly high, so you would see fights taking a long run. Well, since it's a stealth-type job focused on avoiding combat, you could also choose to bypass battles and advance quickly, making it a job with high support capabilities in dungeon exploration.
And the B-rank guild, Success Brain. I recall they were an up-and-coming guild that beat the then B-rank guild «Temple Saber» to enter the B-rank.
"Um, I'm Aisha, and I'm continuing in Class 1. My job is «Shadow», and my guild is the C-rank «Dark Tower». Nice to et you."
She was a slightly timid, braided, and bespactacled bookworm type girl.
Among the initial girls of Class-1, excluding Eden's mbers, she was one of the few to keep her position in the class alongside Miyu.
Her level was so-so, but she'd done good enough in the Inter-class competition, and scored extrely well, thus centing her position.
She had managed to stay active for quite a long ti in the intense skirmish monts. Though she was unfortunately eliminated when we fought Class-8 near the end, her contributions were significant.
«Shadow» was a magic category job that manipulated shadow, as the na implied. It excelled in various fronts—like interception, attack, and defense—but in particular, its crowd control range was impressive. She had been a good help in the competition as such.
But, «Dark Tower», eh? It's a new na to .
"Many of you probably know , but I'll introduce myself again. I'm Lana of the C-rank guild, Eden. I'm continuing in Class 1. Nice to et you all."
The new students in the classroom stirred slightly as Lana introduced herself, but it quickly subsided. Lana has been told to keep her job hidden, so she won't be introducing it.
Actually, I also introduce myself without revealing my job. I had a hunch I would be constantly swamped in annoyance if I revealed «Gloria Salvator». For now, I'd like to wait for the right ti to reveal it, just like Lana.
And so, listening to my classmates' self-introductions, everything ended smoothly without any trouble.
Unlike the quartet's scene last ti, there was no chaos this ti. It's truly peaceful~!
I wonder if removing the level cutoff in the score helped much? ...Never mind. It's probably just because everyone here is nice, yeah.
"So, is Zephyr-kun okay to be the class leader?"
"Yes, I don't mind."
This was also decided smoothly.
So, I'll be taking on the role of class leader for the second half of the first year as well.
I asked Lamda—his seat was before —if he was okay with it. "I'll leave it to you," he said, so it went smoothly. It's truly peaceful~!
On that note, my seat was the sa as before, in the very back by the hallway. And instead of «Fried Pride», rt, Reglam, Kiel, and Lamda were filling the seats.
The seats that used to be so noisy were eerily quiet.
I wonder if the quartet was doing alright~.
Anyway, I guess it's ti to briefly introduce so information about classes other than Class-1. In particular, the «New Grade» that had everyone's attention.
The academy ticulously prepared for this over several months, so the transfers were completed without a hitch. There were no reports of confusion.
20% of students transferred to a different course. Many students had hoped to transfer, so the academy was reportedly contemplating whether they should implent a mass class reshuffle system like this for next year, or to create a new system for mass course transfers.
Given the trend, I think we might be introduced to even more reford systems.
Perhaps even more new systems will be decided by next year.
And then, coming to students of «Combat Departnt - New Grade».
There were arrangents for other departnts, too, but I was lacking in details over them. The information about the combat departnt was easy since it was just right next to us, and many of our guild mbers were attending it.
Including «Eden» and «Arc-Arcadia», a total of eight students had gone through «Job Transfer System» from our end. They're—Aegis, Orihi-san, Shalon, Fraumina, Katalina, Rosetta, Elisa, and Fina.
Among them, Aegis, Elisa, and Fina were initially our seniors, and they would've graduated next year if they'd followed their original schedule.
But with the new system, which also ant they get to do-over—I an, there would be no aning if they graduated with half-hearted knowledge over their new job and knowledge pertaining to it—in the New Grade. And while Aegis had changed her job much earlier, she, too, was eligible for the new system.
Rina was also eligible, but the latter declined and remained a first-year student.
Now, coming to the most anticipated class placent for the New Grade—Aegis, Orihi, and Katalina apparently secured their seat in the Class-1.
Aegis's reason was clear cut. She was an unstoppable force in the competition, and she excelled both in Job's ranking and her level. She'd quite the smart for academics, and was expected to improvise further.
anwhile, Orihi-san was the top scorer in the exam for «New Grade». Needless to say, her seat must've been decided then. Even Katalina-san, who ranked 4th in last term exam, scored 3rd rank here. The 2nd ranker was apparently a senior from 3rd year. She'd grumbled quite a bit about that.
Anyway, she also managed to get in Class-1. Albeit, her close friends, Fraumina and Rosetta, struggled despite being tutored by Katalia and Rina, and unfortunately ended up in Class-2 of New Grade. I still think that's pretty amazing though.
On the other hand, Sharon, Elisa, and Fina, who were placed in the sa Class-51, were in Class 3. In my opinion, they made an amazing leap.
After all, the «Combat Departnt - New Grade» alone had a staggering 161 classes.
The teacher's reaction over "A-all of them are high-ranking job holders?!" in particular was amusing when we went over to take a peek.
The students looked eager when he looked around. They probably had thought we'd co up for recruitnt. Uh-huh, I feel bad to burst their bubble, but we're just hanging around~.
The first day of Class Reshuffle elapsed as we engaged in such activities. And jumping to the after classes of the next day, we, the «Eden» and «Arc-Arcadia», finally welcod our new mbers.
