The great Divine academy, Teacher’s Dorm, Villa No.75

Neo was already fascinated by this huge villa; it was so damn big that 500 people can live in this place without any problem but obviously this standard only apply according to Earth not in this world. Here the classes decide everything. If you awakened a low-rank class you will get thrown away like a trash.

Right now, Neo was inside the training hall of this villa. According to James, who had inquired about the academy, it seems that every villa in this academy have a private training hall. Every teacher is assigned a private villa to them in the academy with good facilities.

There’re only 75 teachers in the academy, who teaches students including Neo. With Neo being the newest here.

“It really doesn’t work much on me, sigh~”

Even thought there are best training facilities in this hall, nothing is helping him progress faster in his strength. This is restriction of talent. Even though another soul from another world has taken over this body, it doesn’t change the fact that Neo is still a talentless nobody.

He still has no talent in strength, it has already been two days since Neo started to train in here. But the results are very low. He can feel that his body is progressing in extremely slow fashion. If this continued it will take atleast 4 years for him to reach next level. Which is really not good for him.

If he didn’t get strong fast enough, he will not be able survive the oncoming tragedies. Afterall, why would a person with hero class appear in the first place, when there was no report of awakening the hero class, since last 500 years.

Last time the hero appeared it was due to the fact that a demon king had already attacked humans and several demons were flooding out of the space rifts to the world. Several races of this world together formed an alliance to resist this war. In the end the hero was able to make the demon army fall back and died in the process.

Appearance of a new hero is always accompanied by disasters and calamities. The scholars of the world are always confused on the question that, did the hero was born due to disasters or the disasters were born because of the hero? Nobody knows.

‘Looks like I will have to find some hidden treasures that can help me to become strong.’

As an experienced player of this game, Neo obviously know location of some hidden treasures but it is not that easy to approach these things it needs a very precise planning and anything can go wrong if he took one wrong step. For now, let’s just figure out where to go in order to become strong and which thing can help me the most.

Just as Neo was still thinking all this in his mind, a servant walked towards him respectfully, Neo was obviously annoyed but still not said anything:

“Mr. Neo, a letter from the church has come for you. Here take this.”

“Hmm, okay, you can go now.” (Neo)

After the servant left the hall Neo observed the letter carefully it was sealed with divine energy, on the name of Neo, so it can only be opened with Neo’s divine energy otherwise it will destroy itself.

‘What kind of secret information it is, that the church went so far to seal it’

It is very rare for a letter to be sealed in such a specific way that only a particular person can open it, this type of thing takes a high cost to be done, and only someone of Grandmaster rank can create such things.

This shows one thing that the pope of the holy church himself has sent this letter to Neo because Right now there’s only one grandmaster level figure in the church that is the Pope himself.

Neo opened the letter using his divine energy and it opened very easily like a normal letter. The letter was really holding an important content, it was actually an order from the pope himself to Neo.

[11th Paladin of The God of Creation Church, Neo Kain.]

[You are hereby informed that the holy child Lisa Walt will be attending the divine academy as first year this time. And since you are the only paladin nearby, you are ordered to ensure her safety during her stay in the academy.]

[The Pope, Ysvan Walt.]

“Hmm, it seems that Neo was sent here originally for this purpose. Such a clever trick”

As you have already figured out that the surname of Lisa is also Walt as same as Ysvan, it is obvious that Lisa is the grand-daughter of the pope himself and is also a favored child of the church. To ensure her safety the pope ordered Neo to become a teacher of the academy.

And as you have already guessed it Lisa is one of the harem members of the Hero. In the original Neo tried to stop the interaction between Lisa and the hero which developed hate towards him from the hero further after the first incident.

Obviously, Lisa was the very same girl who was being bullied by those noble kids at that time when she was saved by the hero which was the reason the hero and Lisa grew close to each other.

Just as Neo was thinking all this, a sound surprised him it was the sound of the very familiar system:

[Quest Generated: The first class.]

[Objective: Take your first class successfully and become a teacher for your class.]

[Rank: D]

[Reward: 100 Potential Points]

“That’s a surprise, I didn’t think that the system will work like this in real world too.”

Well, it’s a good sign for me that I can receive some benefits from the system it can help me become strong but the problem with this system is that there’s no shop option or appraisal like things in this system.

This is also the reason why people didn’t like this game in my previous life, there was no map, no appraisal, no shop and other things in this game, it is a very realistic based game. The only function this system has is to upgrade your skills and stats that already exist on your window.

It is not possible to buy skills from the system you will have to find them yourself like a normal NPC. I liked this realistic feature of this game and was fascinated by its background stories at that time. This is also the main reason why I decided to go as far as to make a whole company just to develop this game further. Which I was not able to, even at the end of my life.

But now I have got another chance to play this game, I would not waste it so easily. It’s really an amazing experience to be inside the game you once played on your computer. It’s really a difference of worlds.

Neo first walked towards the office which was assigned to him as his teacher’s office and as same as the villa it was also numbered 75. Actually, this number shows your rank among the teachers. And since Neo is new here, he has the lowest rank among other teachers.

He can improve his rank by simply increasing the performance of his class or by submitting some research papers to the academy which can be helpful to the student’s development in the future.

Well Neo have a good brain on his neck, he can improve his rank with the help of his contribution through research. But it depends if he really wants to do this or not. Anyway, he still has 3 years since the great calamity will struck this world and the fight against the disaster will start. He can build up his foundations in the meantime.

As for the Hero, who cares. It would still be fine if Neo don’t interfere with the Hero and the original plot of the game will still continue as it should. He is just a low-level villain and will not affect the main story if he didn’t harass the hero.

Thinking about all this, the trouble is that girl Lisa. She is a favored child; this also has its own reason. In the original game story Lisa was the one who became the greatest healer of all times. She developed the capability to heal any wound no matter how fatal it is.

She can cure anyone as long as the person is still alive even with a single breath left. Obviously even at her peak she can’t carryout resurrection, it is not possible to carryout resurrection in this world.

Only the God of creation is capable of such a feat, but Legends say that even the Gods have to pay a price to resurrect a dead person. So, being able to heal any wound as long as the person is still alive is already a remarkable feat.

Lisa was one of the Five members of the hero’s party, including the hero himself. If Lisa didn’t accompany the hero and his party on their journey, it would already be a huge feat for the hero to survive till the end. Lisa was a very important person who helped the party by her healing skill all the way to the end.

At her peak she was known as the ‘holy maiden of life’ in the world.

Obviously, all this comes at a cost. She was always targeted by several dangers and attackers and her has always been in danger since the very day she was born. Her own mother had tried to kill her, her mother was actually under mind control by a mind demon at that time.

The only person after the Pope who can ensure her safety is the hero. So, Neo is now confused what to do.

Since he knows about that bullying incident, he can stop it if he wants but it will affect the relation of hero and Lisa. So, in the end it will a problem for the world itself.

‘Such a pain, do I really need to worry about the hero, tsk that damn bastard.’

They were sent to the healer’s office for treatment. (a healer’s office is like a hospital in this world.)The students who fainted due to over exhaustion will take about two days to recover fully to their peak, the healer said something like that or maybe something else but Mark was unable to hear more because he himself was extremely exhausted and was hurrying towards his dorm

For example, the protagonist Mark have a fate of becoming the strongest person in this world and it is nearly impossible to change this, unless you are not helped by the god of creation or have a supernatural power like ‘luck plundering method’ to help you in this work.But such a power has a very low possibility to be obtained by someone.
