Chapter 253: My Name is Zieg
"That group of problem students, I'd like to ask you to help take care of them."
"Take care of problem students?" Liam looked at God Baldr, "I can take care of them with my heart, but I'm not good at things like cooking."
Baldr shook his head, "You'll understand when you get in touch with them."
Hermes put his arm around Baldr's shoulder, "Liam, you can fully experience the life of the Academy District this time.
Baldr is the leader of the entire Academy District, and also the founding god of the Academy District!"
Baldr interrupted Hermes's subsequent statement, "The Academy District is jointly responsible for several gods, that is, it is operated by an alliance of academy-type Familias.
There is no distinction between superior and subordinate. All the main gods have an equal say.
I am just acting as a representative of the gods, to coordinate and take responsibility, thus serving as the principal."
Liam nodded. He did not refute Baldr's self-deprecation.
No matter what, Baldr was the god of light. His status was there.
Some of the gods in this world might have poorer intelligence or emotional intelligence, but they still had a basic judgment of the strength and weakness of the various gods.
At the very least, the god of light was one of the twelve main gods of the highest level in Norse mythology.
Of course, Liam's goddess, Hestia, was the goddess of the hearth of the twelve Olympian gods in Greek mythology.
The Greek mythology and Norse mythology of his previous life seemed to have a connection with this world.
"Okay, my reply is to accept."
This was the answer Liam gave to God Baldr.
...
The Hearthfire Manor.
Liam was eating with Hestia and the others.
"Everyone, our Familia has been promoted to S-rank."
Everyone's expression was very complicated, with shock, joy, and fright.
Because after the Familia was promoted to S-rank, many of the members present were still only at Lv3.
Clearly, this was already a strength that was dragging them down.
The even greater pressure made Haruhime whimper and lie on the dining table, her tail flicking back and forth unwillingly.
"This servant seems to have become a burden again."
Lili put on a mask of pain, "An S-rank Familia has to pay one hundred million Valis! And also hand over 25% of the total income from Dungeon subjugation!
This is all money!"
"Look on the bright side. Doesn't our Grand Casino have a net profit of one or two billion Valis every month now?"
"Wrong! The current net profit has reached fifty billion four hundred and sixty million Valis!" Lili corrected Liam's words.
"Captain Liam's business strategy is very correct. Although the daily net profit is lower than before, the customers' word-of-mouth has clearly improved.
Most importantly, there are more repeat customers, and the atmosphere in the casino has also become very formal."
Indeed, in the current Grand Casino, apart from the Loki Familia and the Ganesha Familia occasionally going there on duty.
The Xenos would also go there to maintain discipline. With these powerful violent institutions as a deterrent, plus the casino only taking a rake and not cheating.
The operation and profit of Golden City Paradise would only get better and better, and would attract more rich people from all over the world to come and play.
Liam glanced at Syr. Was the current Syr considered Hestia's subordinate god?
He didn't know if she counted. The old subordinates of the Freya Familia, currently, were either secretly protecting Syr's safety, or had gone to the Dungeon to subjugate monsters.
Only occasionally could they spar with them a few times.
Anyway, to command Ottar and them, Liam's face was probably not enough.
Unless it was a particularly urgent situation, otherwise Syr probably wouldn't even order Ottar and them.
Afterward, Liam began to narrate today's experience to everyone present, "Everyone, I'm preparing to go to the Academy District to study for a period of time."
"Study?"
Everyone present widened their eyes again. This news was really too shocking.
Syr just ate silently. This dinner was with Mikoto as the main chef, Haruhime as an assistant, and Ryuu was responsible for serving the dishes.
Hestia looked at Liam with concern, "Will the Academy District be very dangerous?"
"It shouldn't be more dangerous than Antares, right?"
Liam made a joke. Hestia pouted and ate her food in big mouthfuls.
"Hmph! I'm really worried about you."
Hestia's eyebrows were about to knit together, "Did you know, Liam? Ouranos is preparing to include you in the team to subjugate the black dragon.
Although the time for subjugating the black dragon is not yet certain, it's clear that you will definitely be one of the participants.
Not just you, but all the first-class adventurers, that is, the Lv5 existences, must join!
But I'd rather you not be so tired. Even if you run away and stop fighting, as long as you can survive safely, it's already great."
Syr ran to Liam's side, "What will you choose, Liam? No matter what you choose, I will support you!"
The gazes of the others all looked at Liam, expecting his words.
Subjugating the black dragon. This was one of the three great adventurer quests of the world, and also the last of the three.
The famous black dragon, it had broken through the seal of the Dungeon and descended upon the mortal world, destroying countless humans and countries.
There was no adventurer in Orario who did not know of the black dragon.
And the black dragon's combat power had even killed a Lv9 adventurer.
"Then it's even more necessary to go to the Academy District to study."
Regarding Goddess Hestia's doting on him, Liam could only refuse.
Not to mention his personality was like this. Some people would just close their eyes and be unable to move when they encountered a life-and-death crisis. Some people, on the other hand, could be both excited and calmly observe everything.
Liam was clearly the latter.
He was a gambler, a gambler who liked to challenge the limits.
After coming to this world and obtaining the Sword Soul template, his personality had decided that he was not the type to be content with pleasure and stagnate.
Even if he were to enjoy, it had to be after becoming the strongest in the world, surpassing all the gods!
"Even if I have to study at the Academy District later, everyone, you must not slack off."
Liam patted Wien beside him, and then looked over everyone.
Wien nodded forcefully, "Wien will definitely practice hard!"
Regarding his companions, the current Liam's comprehension of the Extreme Ghost Sword Art was already sufficiently profound.
It could be said that he was teaching without any reservation, and was also using the breathing method to coordinate his teaching.
Because Ais, Wien, and the others didn't have a demonic hand or a Sword Soul template, they couldn't fully grasp this power.
However, after fusing the breathing method with the Secret Sword Art, the practical combat effect was also very powerful.
Hestia thought of the words Hermes had said to her, and then looked at Liam.
"Liam, it's said there's also a Lv7 in the Academy District. You can try to get in touch."
...
收拾東西 (Packing up), Liam came to the principal's office of the Academy District's temple tower.
The current Liam had already changed into the Academy District's student uniform. He sized up the mirror in front of him.
The self in the mirror was a dark elf with wheat-colored skin. His left arm had become a mechanical prosthesis.
White hair and red eyes, and his ears were very pointed and long.
This was a transformation bracelet that Hermes had prepared for him. His appearance had thus become that of a dark elf.
Of course, this was just a magic item that changed the surrounding light and others' perception.
Actually, Liam's body had not changed at all.
According to Hermes's words, this was a curse that produced a slight cognitive impairment without any cost.
So this bracelet was made of some kind of unnamable chunk of meat as a material?
Thinking of curses and costs, Liam thought of the unnamable Cthulhu.
Baldr looked at Liam, "From now on, think of a name. You can't use the name Liam anymore.
Your and Hermes's intrusion before has already caused a lot of students to be resistant.
Continuing to use your real name will only make people feel repulsed."
Liam nodded, and then began to think about what his alias should be.
"Zieg, this is my alias."
Zieg was the ancestor of the Ghost Slayers. It was also that Liam hoped he could reach or even surpass Zieg's strength.
When he heard from Hestia that he was in the black dragon subjugation, he began to think about how to obtain even greater power.
The demonic hand was a part of his body. The power of the ghost gods naturally also belonged to him.
Although now after becoming a Sword Saint, the demonic hand had no effect on him at all, the power of the ghost gods had always been in the demonic hand.
This power had always been dormant. The orthotic, the Sword Soul power, and the Sword Saint power did not have the characteristic of expelling or annihilating it.
Perhaps in the Academy District, he could learn how to safely stimulate this power.
"Zieg? Does this name have a special meaning?"
Seeing Liam nod, Baldr thought for a moment and then replied again:
"Then your identity background is like this. You are a member of the old Freya dependant Hogni's clan.
Before the Academy District returned to Orario, you were a student who passed the test in the city of Belra, and then you met up with us in the port city of Melen..."
Liam firmly memorized Baldr's words in his mind, and then repeatedly memorized them.
He remembered that Hogni was the king of a certain small island in this world.
Hogni and Hedin were respectively the kings of the dark elves and white elves on that small island.
Then for some reason, they had been at war.
His identity was Hogni's citizen? That was a relatively reasonable identity setting.
"Zieg, you must hide your identity and abilities well. Otherwise, I will be severely reprimanded if you are exposed.
In short, Zieg, welcome to the Academy District."
Afterward, Baldr took out a badge. The pattern on it was a glowing giant ship.
He personally pinned the badge on Liam's chest.
Before long, a male pushed open the door and walked in.
Liam turned to look at the other party. His age was about thirty, and his temperament was between elegant and fierce.
Similar to a knight, or rather, a mature and handsome uncle who was both elegant and wild.
Although the other's age was nearly twice his own, he also felt the aura of a powerhouse from the other's body.
If this person was his teacher, that would be pretty good.
"His name is Leon Vardenburg, which is your mentor or rather, your homeroom teacher.
This time, he is fully aware of your situation."
"I see. That's great."
Liam breathed a sigh of relief, "My name is Liam Moon. Hello, Teacher Vardenburg."
Vardenburg extended his hand to Liam and at the same time showed a smile. "Sword Saint Liam, your great name is famous throughout the world.
So you don't have to be too polite. I'd rather you call me Leon!"
Directly calling the other by their first name instead of their last name. This practice could easily close the distance between two strangers.
Liam nodded, "Teacher Leon! It's great to be able to learn from you!"
"Me too, student Liam. No, it should be student Zieg!"
Leon Vardenburg was wearing a teacher's uniform like a black formal dress.
His sleeves, leather shoes, and the left side of his long pants all had a sword-shaped (spade) golden yellow badge.
In the pouch on his right waist were a few pieces of chalk and a slender teaching pointer of a short staff type.
After chatting with this Teacher Leon for a while, Liam returned to his dormitory.
The next day.
Liam came out of his dormitory and went to the classroom with other human and demi-human (beastman) students.
This place was so familiar yet strange.
There were many intelligent races going to the classroom, for example, beastmen, dwarves, Amazons, elves, pallums, and so on.
They were all wearing white student uniforms like him. White represented purity and infinite possibilities.
This was the first time Liam had come into contact with a school since he came to this world.
Everything was so strange yet familiar. For the unknown courses and new life, he was full of anticipation.
As he passed by, the gazes of the young women couldn't help but stare at him.
Then there were whispers, "Is this a new student? I remember our school hasn't started the entrance exam in Melen yet, has it?"
"It shouldn't be a new student, but he's so handsome."
Liam ignored these girls' infatuated discussions. His face had hardly changed; it was still his own.
But he had changed his hair and eye color, his ears had become the standard ears of an elf, and his left arm had become a mechanical prosthesis.
Even with such a big change, there were still girls who were infatuated because of it?
Fortunately, Liam had long since gotten used to the peeking gazes of the young women, so his expression hardly changed.
"Look! It's Teacher Leon!"
After Liam had walked past, these infatuated young women once again focused their attention on Leon's body.
Leon's appearance was indeed very handsome.
But hearing these young women's admiration, Liam also understood the character of these young women.
They were the very common infatuated type. Whoever was handsome, she would be infatuated with. She didn't pick her target; as long as they looked good, it was fine. Very philandering.
Leon stopped by Liam's side, "Student Zieg, good morning."
"Good morning, Teacher Leon!"
Leon was very satisfied with Liam's response, and then he patiently asked, "You got the schoolbag from God Baldr, right?"
"Mmm, I did. There are many things in the schoolbag. Besides that, there are also daily necessities, uniforms, and so on."
"That's good. You can take a look at the campus life introduction in the schoolbag when you have time. There are also matters related to course selection.
If you have any questions, just come and find me. I'll help you solve them!"
Leon walked and turned his head, "Let's go. Let's talk as we walk."
Liam nodded, "Okay."
Liam found that Leon's personality was the considerate and warm man type. Perhaps it was because of this that he was so popular with the female students.
Coupled with the other's outstanding external image, his lethality to young girls was really very great.
Just his handsomeness was already on par with Liam's, let alone other places.
"Then let's first confirm. Take a look at your student number, and whether your major is the Combat Skills Department."
The Combat Skills Department?
This subject was so amazing, and also very exciting.
