I regressed and became the Sword Ice King-Chapter 268 - - Class One Gold Plans for the Festival
"It–It’s not that bad! I think it’s innovative!" Alicia cried out in protest, but the gazes she received from the two males beside her had given her second thoughts on her statement.
"She’s right! What’s wrong with a BL Cafe?! You guys want to see us in maid outfits so why can’t we?!"
Zara Leadia, a friend of Canary, asked, stumping her hand on the desk as she stood up.
"Huh? What bullshit reasoning is that? Men don’t do shit like that". Gregory said with a click of his tongue.
"Are you trying to label Maid dressing as a woman thing? How dare you?!"
"The fuck are you talking about?! Men don’t wear maid costumes, that’s for women".
"Bullshit! Are you a fucking misogynist?!"
"Where did that even come from? Stop throwing a fit like a jobless baby you fool"
And just like that, the class had been riled up by a significant, uninteresting matter, causing unnecessary chaos and noise.
’What?’ Raph thought in amusement as the sudden argument brewed louder in the class. Specifically the boys against the girls on this subject matter.
’Why the fuck is this even up for debate?’.
He thought, amusement laced in his eyes as he rubbed his temples.
He glanced at Jane, who was staring at him with a smirk.
"Welcome back to your hell of a class, Class Monitor". He said, his smile widening deviously.
Raph chuckled, glancing at the class as they ruled themselves up.
"Enough!" He called out, and the noise died down just by a little. He sighed, turning towards Jane and the class.
He sighed, exuding a bit of aura before calling out again.
"I said ENOUGH!"
A sudden force overtook the air in the room, causing the students to jerk in startelement and turn their gazes to the sources.
Their conversations were sealed tightly behind their lips as all attention had now been fixed on Raph.
Jane’s gaze flickered in realization at the sight, and so did a few others.
’Aura Force? Is that what he used?’ he thought in amazement.
It wasn’t a difficult thing to master once you’ve reached a certain stage, but reaching that certain stage was difficult.
"Alright. This Yaoi Cafe, or BL Cafe, as some of you called it, will be ruled out. It will be inappropriate, and the scores given to us won’t amount to anything".
It was then it struck the students. Their class event, whatever it was, depending on how many visitors it attracts will get a score.
The score will be added to their midterm exams. It was a process added a few years ago because of the difficulty of the Homeric Academy Exams.
"That’s true….then do you have any ideas, Raph?" Alicia asked, her hand on her chin as a disappointed gaze exuded from her face.
Raph ignored it and continued. "I, in fact, have an idea".
This was something he thought on the fly, but an art display and warrior battle display were both good, but they would generally attract different kinds of audiences. Stay tuned with novelbuddy
’.... something that would catch the artistic intrigue of Art Appreciators and the Battle Lovers that enjoy bloody battles….’
He came up with an event, something to bring out the art with their skills.
"Let’s do something new. An ability art display".
The students gathered stared at him in confusion, their gazes flickering as they turned around.
"What do you mean, Raph?" Alicia asked, her tone laced with curiosity at the sight.
"We are all special in our own ways, and that includes our techniques and abilities….though some may not have gotten their Special Classes, I want to believe that it won’t be a problem for you on the Battlefield".
He raised his hand up, a cold energy exuding out of it and creeping around his hand like a glove. It formed a snowflake that grew in size and coldness.
He slowly rotated his hands as the snowflake floated above his skin while a gush of cold energy formed a line of hoarfrost around his hand.
"Our best techniques sometimes can be used for things other than killing…." he explained, his gaze shifting to the bewildered gazes of his classmate.
"That’s what this Display is all about. We’ll have a rotation figured out so ten of us showcase three different, harmless, yet striking ways of displaying our abilities.
Well, it doesn’t have to be harmless, but it shouldn’t harm the people that come to watch it".
The students seemed taken aback by the idea, Jane included. He glanced at the ice that formed around Raph’s hand, intrigue pulling at him as a smile formed on his lips.
"You’re right…this would make a lovely event".
Raph nodded in satisfaction. "All in favour?"
The class remained silent, Elsie raising her arm first in excitement.
Canary came next, and slowly the whole class took after.
The sight brought great satisfaction to Raph, as the ice around his hand crumbled and fell as tiny bits of ice crystals.
"All Opposed?"
Apparently, there was no hand in the air. It seemed most of them had taken a liking to his option. An event to showcase the beauty of their techniques. Be it mana or aura, magic or swordsmanship, there was always something beautiful about their sight.
Showcasing it would be a pleasure not just for them, but for the visitors as well.
"Alright then, with that out of the way….let’s decide who will be participating in the Academy Events".
Raph walked up to the board, his gaze lingering for a moment before Alicia passed down a marker to him.
He smiled and nodded, taking it and writing down a few things on the board.
"The seven events, Mage Ball, Treasure Hunting, Monster Hunting, Warrior Brawl, Protect the Orb, Warrior Ring, and Mages Afront, are the seven we will be doing this session".
There were a total of ten events usually hosted by the Academy, but according to the Prefect Meeting Results and their theme, they’re able to make changes. The school then makes acceptable events the students can easily perform in.
Mages Ball, Treasure Hunting, Monster Hunting, Warrior Brawl and Protect the Orb were done against other arms within the same class but Warrior Ring, Mages Afront and Mixed Magic and Swords were done by a mix of juniors and seniors against one another.
"Mages Ball requires five Mages. Two offensive, two defensive and a goal protector. Who volunteers?"
Right after his statement, a few hands were up; of course, they were all mages.
The rules of the Mages Ball were similar to many ball games, but the balls were usually imbued with one of the four elements.
It required perfect mastery of mana and the use of low-tier magic with precise accuracy.
If they wanted to win, they needed to choose Mages with the most likeable or highest mastery.
’Of course….we have one of those in the class’.
His gaze landed on Ciara, who had been paying attention to her book more so than the class.
Jane caught his gaze drifting to her and tapped him.
He shook his head slowly with a sigh, but Raph simply raised a brow at him.
"Ciara" he classed out, and the girl looked up at him from her book.
"You’re our most skilful mage. Why don’t you participate?" he asked.
She stared at him, her gaze flickering before she suddenly stood up, walked down the stairs and exited the class.
’..what a character’. Raph thought with a sigh.
"Alright then, let’s get back to work….. don’t forget. Also, you can only participate in two activities at most. So be sure of what of your choice".
The raised hands didn’t seem to subside even after his warning, so he selected them himself.
"Canary, Timothy, Yon, Jonny and Aurora. You five will be our team. Jonny and Timothy take the offence, Canary and Aurora, defence and Yon goal protector".
It may have seemed like he selected at random, but with his new ability to see the status window of others, he had been able to gauge the abilities of his classmates.
He wrote down their names under the title Mages Ball and went on to the next one.
"Treasure Hunting…."
This was another team event carried out with seven Players and a mix of classes as well.
As the name suggests, it was a treasure hunt in a territorial space created by the Academy.

It tests skills, teamwork and effort.
"Any volunteers now?"
Yet again, a good number of hands were raised in the air and he was made to select.
"Zara, Sonia, Rana…"
When he called the last name, Rana Lana had nearly stood up to protest, as her arm wasn’t up but Meadow had stopped her.
Raph noticed it instantly, a sigh escaping his lips.
"I’m not just selecting those whose hands are up. I think you would be a great help in a treasure hunt, Rana"
Rana stared at him for a moment, her displeasure suppressed carefully well.
"I will do as you’ve instructed, but this requires seven members. Who else would be in the team?" She asked.
Raph glanced at his side, the two people in particular staring at him with a raised brow and curious gazes.
"Alicia and Jane. You two will also be in the team".
"Huh?" Jane asked, placing his right hand on Raph’s shoulder. "Why?"
