My Three Classes Are Supposed to Be Average

Max reached the Sword Practical Hall on time. It was unusual for the others, since Max would normally already be present in the Hall before anyone arrived. Everyone gave him a look of contempt. They thought he had somehow placed at the 17th rank and let it get to his head so soon.

Max did not bother about the gazes of others. He simply went to his regular spot and started to practice his class skills. He needed to improve a single skill for each class to some extent. Since competition and danger would loom around him hereafter, he needed a solid skill that could be used without any fumbles at a crucial time.

His first choice for a Swordsman skill was [Sword Tempest], which was the first Sword skill he had activated. It was a powerful skill, but it required a enormous amount of Mana. Even with his improved mana channeling, he could only execute the skill two times before he depleted his mana. Since the official duel would begin in a week's time, he needed to train a perfect skill that would help him in long battles.

[Heavenly Cleave]

This Inborn Skill would be perfect for long battles. With that decided, Max activated the skill, which was easy for him at this point in time.

Shuuu!

Instantly, a dark sword arc landed on the dummy crosswise from shoulder to hip, creating a deep sword cut.

"It was a powerful skill?" Max muttered.

Right then, the other students turned their heads after sensing a powerful attack. The two guys who practiced on each side jumped in a scare as they saw the attack out of the corners of their eyes.

Immediately, Max checked how much mana it required to execute the skill. A total of 15% of his mana was used.

Good.

It was definitely not a big mana expenditure. With this skill, Max could definitely fight long-lasting duels easily without exhausting himself from mana drainage. Furthermore, he still had a week's time. During that period, he would improve his mana channeling technique and try to reduce the excessive mana usage further until the amount was precise to use.

He did not stop. Under the eyes of all the students, he continuously used Heavenly Cleave. Teacher Rossif also closely monitored Max's training.

Ethan, who had lost a duel against Max a day before, currently wore a dark complexion. The skill Max was currently using seemed powerful. Because of this, his decision to issue a duel call once the Leaders Head Competition completed now felt a little reluctant. With anger boiling over, he frantically swung his sword at the dummy, directing all his anger at it.

Max stayed in his own space; he did not bother to see what the others were trying to do. He was not blindly using the skill. Instead, he continuously tried to reduce the mana usage. He used to do that at the time of healing practice, but in order to improve overall, he started to use it at every practice session.

The sword practice went on for half the afternoon. Once he was done, he left the hall, planning to practice healing. While being there, he might need to start his campaign as well.

---

As usual, the practical session was busy with another type of practice. All the students were trying to remove some kind of substance from a monster organ. Max's mind automatically went to yesterday's incident, recalling how he had used one of his skills to remove the poison. At that time, he was under great stress to save the girl, and the guilt his heart held was extreme. Because of him, someone else was going to die. However, those things had changed completely.

As soon as Max entered, several eyes darted to his side. Among them, one pair of eyes belonged to Ms. Frances.

It had to do with yesterday's incident, which was significant for Healers. The news had spread about how even an experienced Healer had failed at removing the poison, yet a first-year student had done it easily. People tended to be impressed by that, especially since word of mouth usually became exaggerated.

"Max, come here," the teacher called to him.

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

At this time, he had ignored the stares and directly went to collect the practice items.

"As expected," Max thought inwardly as he heard the teacher's call.

He had already expected that the teacher would definitely have a talk with him. He quickly put down the monster organ container and walked to the teacher's table.

"Yes, Ms. Frances." Max stood in front of her.

"I heard some unfortunate things had happened to our academy students, and I also came to know you were involved there," she said, looking directly at Max.

"Yes, Ms. Frances. I was present at the spot where one of our academy students got poisoned by the [Laigaran] poison," Max said casually. He gave these specific details, guessing that was what the teacher wanted to hear.

"I heard you saved the girl, when an experienced Healer failed multiple times." Frances raised her eyebrows.

"I am not sure that was true, Ms. Frances. The woman who healed the girl had expended all her mana before the poison could be removed. So, with no other option, I continued to heal the girl. The poison was already subdued by that Experienced Healer, and with my added healing, the poison was finally removed."

Max explained what had transpired. He did not construct any story regarding the matter.

When Max discovered those guys were the culprits, he already guessed the woman must have been set up by them. Through multiple healing attempts and depleting their mana, they were putting on an act to show the public the severity of the assassin's poison. Once that rumor spread, Max's name would definitely suffer even greater damage throughout all the other academies and higher families. This would definitely place him and his family in a difficult spot.

However, that plan did not happen. Max had intervened and used his skill to remove the poison. Furthermore, Max felt that even if he had not used his skill, those guys must have already prepared an antidote to remove the poison eventually. Max's involvement completely shattered the narrative they were about to set.

"Oh, is that so?" the Teacher pondered for a while.

Based on her expression, Max guessed she had also found the inconsistency in the story. Any experienced healer could have removed the poison, yet the story claimed an experienced healer had failed. The Teacher fit into that category, because she was also an experienced healer. This cast a lot of bad shade on the general title of 'Experienced Healer' among the public. The mob would eventually think even an experienced healer lacked the capability to heal the poison. That would also drag her name into the mud, simply because some undertalented healers did not have the capability to heal a girl.

"But anyway, you did a great job. People talk very highly about our Academy and our Healing department. A first-year student was capable of healing a girl where an experienced healer failed. It is definitely a boost to the reputation for our academy and even to us as well," Ms. Frances praised Max.

Though the generic reputation of an Experienced Healer got tainted, a category she fit into, this news about the Academy's first-year healing the girl also brought a lot of credit to the academy and to herself because she was the main Healing Practical Teacher.

"Everyone, gather around," Ms. Frances suddenly stood up and announced aloud.

Everyone quickly gathered with great energy. Since they had also heard the news about the incident, everyone was curious about what had really happened. At the same time, they also felt proud. Because of this incident, their image among the public, other academies, and even their seniors had improved.

"As you all must have already heard, an unfortunate tragic incident transpired yesterday, where one of our academy's first-year students was targeted for assassination. But fortunately, your fellow student was present there to save the day," Ms. Frances announced. "Max here skillfully used his skill and saved the girl, making our academy and us very proud. So, give a big round of applause for his great deed."

Everyone, who had already been waiting for this, clapped their hands in appreciation for Max. They felt pride that one of their own had achieved this.

As Healers, society often neglected them as great figures, even though they did great things such as saving lives. People often tended to talk about flashy skills and ferocious fireballs instead.

However, everyone was now talking about them, especially the first-year students. This made them want to work hard; they also wanted to attain the achievements that Max had obtained.

"Very good job, Max."

"You made us all proud."

"Thanks for putting our name out there."

"You have to teach us how you did it."

The students continuously clapped their hands as they made a few comments. Max was a little shy seeing all the girls applauding for him. A few days back, they would not even give him face. They had considered him unworthy, but now, they saw him as a hero.

Things tended to change very quickly. Max wanted to use this opportunity to his favor.

Soon, the teacher signaled for them to stop.

"Everyone, look up to Max, work hard, achieve great things, and make our academy and our department proud," Ms. Frances advised the students. "Max, do you want to share anything?"

Max looked at the girls who stood eagerly in front of him, waiting for him to speak. This was the moment he had waited for. Let's start his own campaign from here.

"Everyone, thank you for your appreciation and good words. I did what anyone could have done in that situation," he said, sweeping his gaze.

Hearing this, some nodded their heads, while some shook their heads as if denying the statement. Those who nodded their heads were the bright students who had good inborn skills. Those who felt a little reluctant and shook their heads in denial were the less talented students.

"But still, I want to thank everyone for your appreciation. We will work hard and prove to this world that Healers are the pillars of society." He added a few encouraging statements.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes shone, and they vigorously nodded their heads.
