Chapter 178 - Crow

Seraphina was indeed very beautiful. It was just that her expression right now was quite strange. Her skin was clearly fresh, and her eyes weren't dark at all, but looking at her made people feel like she was extremely sleepy.

It was very difficult for an A-rank hunter to be sleep-deprived. This strange feeling only came from her passion for sleeping.

"Hi."

After yawning, Seraphina only said one word. She didn't even raise her hand to wave at the students.

A series of actions from her made the students frown. From what they guessed, Seraphina was probably the type of introvert who wasn't afraid of crowds.

She didn't seem to want to talk much, but when looking at thousands of people, her attitude was as calm as if there was no one there.

But was someone like this really okay as a homeroom teacher? What if she slept during class while the students did whatever they wanted, then could this place still be called an academy?

Zero obviously wouldn't let the students doubt the ability of their homeroom teacher like this before classes had even started.

"Seraphina, if you don't like talking, you can sing."

The moment Seraphina heard Zero's suggestion, her expression immediately brightened. The sleepy feeling from before suddenly vanished as her sparkling eyes filled with joy and enthusiasm.

"Are you ready?! Here comes my impromptu performance."

Seraphina raised her hand high. The overflowing positive energy coming from her made the students rub their eyes and take another look. Compared to the sleepy girl from earlier, it was like they were two completely different people.

The unbelievably fast change even made many people suspect that she had been pretending just to test the students.

After their confusion passed, everyone applauded Seraphina in encouragement. They had heard long ago that she sang very well but refused to become a singer, and now that she was willing to sing for free on her own initiative, of course no one would refuse.

Just like that, the academy's opening ceremony temporarily turned into Seraphina's very own live concert.

Zero didn't stop her either. Letting her sing was much better than having her say nothing with that sleepy expression from earlier.

Without needing a microphone, sound system, or a band to back her up, Seraphina simply began to sing. The moment she started singing, the lighting effects automatically focused in her direction.

This wasn't an artificial lighting effect but something created by her ability. Even though it was daytime, Seraphina still shone brilliantly in front of thousands of people. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The light didn't just surround her. It also caused everyone who heard her singing nearby to suddenly have a faint glowing halo appear around them.

Her clear singing voice rang out, making the students here naturally feel like they had been buffed with extra strength. It wasn't that they had actually become stronger, but her singing had the ability to lift their spirits.

This was the less energy-consuming effect, because if she used her best buff on thousands of people like this, Seraphina would run out of energy very quickly. She didn't actually want to end up unconscious during the opening ceremony.

As an A-rank ability, this singing voice was of course far from ordinary. Seraphina didn't need to try to sing loudly for everyone to hear her voice at the most comfortable volume.

Because it was an A-rank ability, it still had fairly modest limitations. Her voice could only be heard within a certain range, rather than being so ridiculous that people a hundred miles away could still hear her singing.

After finishing her performance, Seraphina smiled and waved goodbye to the audience before voluntarily walking to a corner to make room for the next person.

"That was an incredibly outstanding impromptu performance, wasn't it? Seraphina's ability is called The Golden Hymn. Her singing has an incredibly outstanding support effect for her teammates."

"Next, please welcome the homeroom teacher of Class V, Mr. Crow!"

A man slowly stepped forward. His build was quite well-proportioned and muscular, but standing near Marcus made him look rather small.

His short red hair was neatly trimmed around his face, while a few slightly messy strands over his forehead made his already sharp appearance even more unruly. His red eyes, the same color as his hair, quietly swept across the surroundings.

His demeanor was calm, his expression serious, but the outfit he was wearing was the most bizarre among all the homeroom teachers who had appeared so far.

Was there anyone normal who would wear a skin-tight red outfit like a diving suit? Not to mention that it looked incredibly ridiculous, wearing this thing must be extremely hot.

If his face weren't so good-looking, walking around outside dressed like this would definitely get someone calling the police, suspecting him of being some kind of pervert with a sick fetish.

Looking closely, there were a few grenades hidden on his body. Anyone with a brain could tell that there had to be spirit stones inside, because ordinary grenades were completely useless to an A-rank hunter.

"Hello, kids. Whoever can kill me gets to be the homeroom teacher."

Crow raised his hand in greeting. His eyes were calm, but the corners of his mouth curled up into an extremely smug and punchable grin.

Quite a few students had to dig at their ears to check whether something had gotten stuck in them, because what Crow had just said was so damn absurd.

They came here to be students. How the hell could there be a rule where they had to kill the homeroom teacher to become the homeroom teacher?

The veins on Zero's forehead bulged. What the hell was Crow trying to pull?

Fortunately, information within the academy was always kept under tight lockdown. Otherwise, the academy would definitely be mocked by the media for the 'abstract' nature of its teachers.

"Don't misunderstand. Crow is introducing his ability. Even though he doesn't look very big, he is indeed an A-rank hunter with a top-tier tanker ability."

While Zero was speaking, Crow suddenly activated his ability. A circular blood-red magic formation appeared with the spot where he stood as its center.

"As long as I stand inside this, no one can kill me."

Crow raised his chin and patted his chest with confidence. But just as he was showing off, a figure suddenly appeared right in front of him.
