Forsaken By The Gods, I Made A Contract With the Demon King

Chapter 110: Schedule

Levi sat at his desk, staring intently at the schedule displayed on his watch.

If nothing goes wrong, then this would be his schedule for the whole semester.

In the Favored One's academy, there were eight semesters in total, with two per year - so students had to clear all eight semesters if they wanted the prestige of being a graduate of the Favored One's academy.

There were many other rules regarding the age limit, the number of reparations allowed in case of failing, etc. But they were not Levi's concern for now.

For now, he had all his attention on the watch that displayed his schedule.

Each day had two classes scheduled - one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

The week would start on Monday, and the "History of Earth and Paradise" with Professor Elara Vex would kick off the classes.

Levi groaned, running a hand through his hair.

"History? On a Monday morning? Whoever made this schedule must really hate students," he muttered.

Still, he made a note to review the major events leading up to the two cataclysms. Maybe if he knew enough, he could at least doze off without getting caught.

As for Monday afternoon, it was scheduled for "Basic Combat" with Professor Kaine Steelheart. Levi knew this class would be crucial for him. He was acutely aware of his lack of combat experience and realized he needed to improve his physical skills to complement his essence abilities.

Combat was largely uncharted territory for Levi. He knew next to nothing about fighting techniques or strategies, which meant he would have to pay extra attention during these sessions. He made a mental note to push himself hard in this class, determined to make up for his lack of experience.

Tuesday morning brought "Essence Manipulation and Control" with Professor Zephyr. This class particularly intrigued Levi, as he had never formally learned essence manipulation. Up until now, he had relied solely on his Lunacy ability's vague guidance to control essence.

Levi saw this class as a golden opportunity to gain better control over his unique abilities. He had heard rumors that mastering essence manipulation techniques could significantly boost the output of one's abilities. This prospect excited him, making him wonder if he could learn methods to enhance his powers and, more importantly, find ways to disguise his distinctive demonic essence signature. Such a skill could prove invaluable given his hidden identity as a demon follower.

Then, on Tuesday afternoon would dive into "Xenobiology of Paradise Creatures" with Professor Fauna. After his brief exploration of the textbook, Levi was eager to learn more about the strange beings that inhabited Paradise. He just hoped they wouldn't be doing any hands-on work with anything too slimy or bitey. Though it would be a lie to say that he wasn't interested in seeing the internal parts of the monsters.

A gentle chime announced the arrival of his meal. Levi retrieved the package from the delivery bot outside the door, savoring the rich aroma that wafted up as he opened the container. He ate slowly, enjoying the flavors and texturing the crusty bread to soak up every last bit of the savory stew.

As Levi finished his meal, his watch chimed with an incoming message. His heart skipped a beat when he saw it was from Instructor Valerius.

"Come to the 7th training grounds at 5:00 AM in the morning."

Excitement and anxiety warred in Levi's mind. He was wondering why Valerius who had sponsored a scholarship for him has not yet contacted him, but it seeme like it was finally time.

The special training with Valerius was finally about to begin. He knew this was a rare opportunity, one that could help him unlock the full potential of his abilities. But he also worried about revealing too much, about losing control of his powers in front of the instructor.

One more that made him frown was the fact that academic classes start at 9:30 in the morning, considering that Valerius would at least train Levi for around 2 hours, Levi would have very little time to fresh up and devour his breakfast before running to the classes!

There would be no brakes at all!

"5 AM?" Levi groaned. "Is everyone at this academy allergic to sleep?" Despite his complaints, he knew he wouldn't miss this chance for anything.

Pushing aside his doubts, Levi focused on preparing for the early morning session. He double-checked that his training clothes were laid out and set multiple alarms on his watch. He didn't want to risk oversleeping and disappointing Instructor Valerius on their first day.

As Levi got ready for bed, he realized his roommates still hadn't returned. It struck him as odd, but he was too preoccupied with thoughts of the upcoming training to dwell on it for long. Part of him was grateful for the solitude, allowing him to focus on the challenges ahead without distractions.

Levi climbed into bed, his mind racing with possibilities for the training session.

Would Valerius push him to his limits right away? Would they focus on physical training, or delve into the mysteries of essence manipulation? As sleep began to claim him, Levi's last thoughts were a mixture of anticipation and determination. Whatever challenges lay ahead, he was resolved to face them head-on and prove himself worthy of this special opportunity.

In the quiet of the dorm room, Levi drifted off to sleep, unaware of the trials and revelations the coming days would bring.
