翁公和媛媛在厨房里猛烈进出

Han and Jin, understandably exhausted by yesterday\'s fight, were just faking-taking notes and scribbling.

Mock exams were just around the corner, right after the school\'s Winter Wonderland, so I also started paying attention.

Glancing at the whiteboard, I saw Professor Robinson, our history teacher, going over the last part of the war between the human and demon realms.

Sighing, I shook my head upon seeing the whiteboard filled with a bunch of useless knowledge that wouldn\'t ever apply to real life.

To be fair, basing off an entire history class on a world and lore created by some broke thirty-year-old author was bound to be a failure.

Twelve years of schooling could not fit inside the book despite its massive chapter count, so I assumed most of the knowledge taught here was just filler content generated by this world.

Finishing with whatever he was writing, Professor Robinson glanced at the three recruiters at the edge of the room before returning his attention to us.

Sighing, I shook my head, already knowing what was going to happen.

This wasn\'t mentioned in the book, but anyone with common sense could see that the Professor was trying to impress the recruiters.

Even if they weren\'t students, Professors still wanted to be on the good side of recruiters as all of them represented influential factions around the world.

The academy paid well...but Knight Orders paid way more.

Adjusting his round-shaped glasses, Professor Robinson examined us, scanning the entire classroom.

Then in an unusually sweet tone, varying from his usual stern way of speaking, Professor Robinson smiled and asked.

"Would anyone like to volunteer to assist with a demonstration?"

"..."

Glancing around the classroom, I could see many students pondering the idea, trying to discern of participating would help gain credit with the recruitors.

Leaning back in my chair, I attempted to hide behind Han and Jin.

Professor Robinson was already known for his over-the-top and extra way of teaching, so I didn\'t dare to imagine what would happen if he actually had to impress someone now.

After thinking for a moment and seeing the classroom in silence, Professor Robinson sighed and said.

"If no one wants to volunteer, I\'ll randomly select two students."

Leaning back in my chair, I ignored his words and continued staring out the window.

Professor Robinson wanted to impress the recruiters, so he wouldn\'t pick someone with a low exam score like me.

Rather, he would pick the students with the highest grades and the most amount of renown to show off his teaching skills to the recruiter.

Also, if a well-known student was selected, the recruiter would be more inclined to pay attention to his development as it would probably be more interesting.

To no one\'s surprise, no hands went up even after his declaration, so Professor Robinson glanced around the room for a moment, pausing as his eyes passed by the center of the classroom.

After a moment, Professor Robinson cleared her throat before kindly asking.

"Ruby, would you like to participate in the demonstration? Liam, and would you like to as well?"

As a sigh of relief washed over the classroom, thanking that they had not been chose, Ruby and Liam nodded their heads.

While it wasn\'t like they had much of a choice.

If they refused to participate in Professor Robinson\'s demonstration right now, in front of the recruiters, this class would probably be hell for them until the end of the school year.

Professor Robinson would surely make their lives difficult for the rest of the year if they stood him up right now.

Walking to the stage, Liam and Ruby patiently waited with their backs against the board as Professor Robison gathered materials from his desk.

After a second, Professor Robinson emerged with a peculiar-looking device in his hands that resembled a... volcano.

Didn\'t I make something like that for my sixth-grade science fair...?

And now, I\'m a high schooler staring at the very same thing I made when I was six years younger.

I\'ve come full circle...

Intrigued at whatever the hell Professor Robinson was going to do, I watched as he put the volcano on a table, which was visible to everyone in the classroom, before walking to the whiteboard.

Gracefully grabbing a piece of chalk, Professor Robinson silently began scribbling away on the board.

[The Battle of the Hajin Mountain Range.]

Hm?

...did I just foreshadow myself?

"I\'ve come full circle."

...what the hell...?

The place where I first started and gained the power that would change the trajectory of my life was now... standing in front of me in the form of some shitty paper mache project.

Staring at the dim and uncolorful volcano sculpture at the front of the classroom, a sense of anger rose.

I almost died there...and they\'re treating it like that!?

My sixth-grade self made a better volcano and mountain than that! ...albeit with my parent\'s help.

It should be a hallmark of human history!

Resisting the urge to shoot an arrow right through the shitty volcano, I silently waited as Professor Robinson began to speak.

"Today, we will be doing a demonstration of how the humans took back the Hajin mountain range from the demons."

Walking to the table, Professor Robinson pointed at various locations before continuing.

"Not only was the mountain range a big piece of land, but it was also a very important strategic location in the war." for more

"In fact... it was so important that it would be an over-exaggeration to say that the tides of the war totally shifted after the humans recaptured the territory."

Mentioning the elephant in the room, Professor Robinson pointed at the volcano before adding.

"At the time of war, the mountain range contained a volcano, but over time, it has become dormant and covered up, so it is no longer visible."
