Even though I was being taught concepts based on a completely different world, most of the classes were bearable as the curriculum was geared toward first-year high school students, and they were learning basic theory. 0

The Royal Class was a gathering place for those with exceptional talents, but that didn’t mean that everyone there was book smart. In fact, some students even slept during class. 1

Of course, the intellectually gifted ones would pay attention during class, but there were some physically gifted students who also focused during class.3

However, there were also plenty of students with average intelligence. Not to mention, they were still kids, so they found the classes to be annoying and mundane. After all, they were chosen for their talents, not their intelligence.2

Compared to these students who were still struggling with their academics, I found the classes I took both boring and easy, and consisted mostly of memorization.0

“Why… why do I have to do this?!”0

The physical training class was basically hell. It was repetitive and physically demanding, almost like corporal punishment.0

—Magic, supernatural powers, academics, or whatever—you can never neglect physical training! You guys are the future of the empire. If you don’t meet a certain level of physical fitness by the end of the semester, you’re going to fail the class! Don’t forget this!0

—‘It was a misconception to think that being a wizard meant you could lack physical abilities.’1

—‘Relying solely on supernatural abilities will backfire on you.’0

—‘If you have poor physical fitness, you won’t be able to study for long.’0

These were all sentences that were definitely written by me. That was why, regardless of what a student majored in, the Temple always incorporated physical training into all of the regular classes, as if it wasn’t acceptable for any student in any major to be physically weak.2

So those who did not have talents in combat or exceptional physical abilities disliked the physical training classes the most. 0
