Humanity Return

Ch. 105 – Knowledge Aura

Some of the students in the back of the class began to emit various reactions, considering that it was not common knowledge. Most ordinary people only knew that they needed people from the Hunter Guild to repel or hunt Rank C Beasts upwards.

And most of the teenage children who have not become a Hunter only know that Rank Beasts only show a difference in strength.

“That's the wall that all Beasts, whatever their kind, have to go through to reach the next level”

Indeed, this information could be accessed if they visited and searched for a book that discussed the types of Beasts in the library, but most people preferred to use their time to practice and strengthen themselves.

This was the true reality when they had to live while being surrounded by beings who had physical strength far above them.

“Detailed discussion will be discussed in class in the future, for now you will receive a list of Beast books that you can take in the Library later”

The teacher grabbed down the table and pulled out a thick pile of paper.

The bham!

“That's just the discussion in this first Beast Class, you can take this list as many times as you want from under this table later if you need more. Now can someone help-“

His words were cut off by the young man in front of him who was already standing up and walking over to him just like that.

Aura and the other students could see Leinn reach the other side of the table and stand face to face with the teacher who had been sculpting it.

“A-what is...”

The teacher's voice turned into a whisper and then disappeared when he saw Leinn did not look at him and just stared at the pile of paper in front of them.

Leinn grabbed and took out half of the pile of paper with both hands, then threw it into the air.

“...Ah..?”

A strange sound came out from the teacher's mouth when he saw over a hundred pieces of paper floating in the air in front of him.

Before Aura who had already woken up from her chair could say anything, a gust of strong wind suddenly pummeled her face.

“...?!”

A feeling of overwhelming shock could be felt by the students in the classroom who were looking at the scene before them at this moment.

The hundreds of papers in the air began to move following the sudden gust of wind that appeared and floated to the back of the classroom, then landed on the students' desks.

Now in front of the dozens of disciples were three sheets of paper with a list of books about Beasts from their teacher.

“Completed!”

Leinn showed a big smile and then took out four pieces of paper from the pile that had not moved at all amid all the previous violent gusts of wind.

“...Ah!”

The teacher only realized when he saw Leinn's back walking away from him, then at the other students who were staring at the black-haired young man with a variety of different expressions.

“Hoh..”.

But Leinn looked unconcerned and only looked at the information from the paper in his hand, while asking some of the things written there to Aura who was reading the same thing.

After seeing Leinn and Aura only discuss Beast-related matters without any problems, the other disciples started having discussions of their own. It turned out that the title list of the book also came with the summary, letting the students see and choose what caught their attention.

“...”

“...oh and this is also interesting, the book managed to explain in detail how the typical Beast that lives in the Desert of Death, and there are only seven typos in this book..!”.

Leinn was still smiling when he saw Aura explain the first three books of the list, knowing that the girl in front of him had read many books.

The smile began to wane as he did not stop and his explanation finally reached half the title of the book that was on the paper.

Until finally Aura began to mention the number of printing errors in some of those books, followed by her own theory that even sounded more plausible in the ears of beginners like Leinn.

“...and-Oh! I've never read this one!”

Finally the sentence came out of the mouth of Aura, who was pointing to the title of the fifth book from the end of the list containing more than 20 titles of the book.

Leinn simply nodded his head while looking at the dozens of other titles above that title, while wiping his head that was already soaked in sweat.

“Um..”

The teacher was already aware of the vast knowledge of Aura before this class started and admired the magic theory he had shown in the previous tournament, he said, then hearing him briefly explain the contents of the books made him want to discuss with him.

But until the end he just sat in the teacher's chair in front of the class reading the book he was carrying, because his awkwardness did not let him start a conversation with that much younger student of his, and finally the class ended.

“Kyuu..”.

...

The high lights had already started to light up and replaced the illumination from the afternoon sun that had already disappeared behind the city walls, successfully lighting up the entire academy.

Several disciples could be seen walking around the main park of the academy, which now had produced a different atmosphere to the crowded daylight before.

“Om name nom..”

Sitting on one of the long chairs of the garden was the black-haired youth who was chewing on the large grilled corn in his hands.

“...”

The pink-haired girl was seen sitting on the other side of the chair and was just staring at the young man who was eating his corn until there was not the slightest bit of rest with mixed feelings.

They had just left the cafeteria that was filled with disciples staring at them with different kinds of gazes that made them hard to eat.

“Om name nom..”

...which makes Aura difficult to eat, while Leinn looks not care at all.

During their journey from the cafeteria, Leinn was too busy eating and let Aura start thinking about various kinds of things that still made her curious. The biggest one was what Leinn did with Roland and the white-haired girl after leaving herself and Adeline.

But there was a strange feeling that stopped Aura from asking that question directly, until they both finally reached the long chair of the garden.

“Kyuu?”

Clear was seen lying between the two of them while digesting the same large corn that Leinn was currently swallowing in his transparent body.

Aura looked at the wisp of transparent water for a while, then looked at Leinn seriously.

“So... where is Roland..?”.

And he lost his nerve at the last moment and asked the second thing that made him curious.

Leinn turned his head and looked at Aura while raising one eyebrow.

“Om name nom..”

He started to speed up the chewing and immediately swallowed the food.

“Dia... walked past you this afternoon?”

“...huh?”

Leinn patted both of his hands then showed a puzzled expression at the girl beside him.

“Before I called you this afternoon, he walked past you and entered the new student dormitory. It seems like he is planning to meet with Adeline”

Aura raised both of her eyebrows, looking surprised. Followed by his narrowed eyes, like trying to remember something.

“Huh..”.
