Course registration has been completed successfully.

I was able to get all the classes I had planned at the times I wanted.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to take Professor Kim Myeong-hyun’s class this semester.

Professor Kim seems to teach 1st year classes in the first semester and 2nd year classes in the second semester.

Still, I managed to get one class with Professor Tak Won-ho, and since I’m Professor Kim Myeong-hyun exclusive disciple, I’ll have plenty of chances to learn from him.

Especially since the two professors only used to teach intermediate classes but moved up to advanced class this semester.

Thanks to that, I could register regardless of class level.

‘The classes of the newly appointed professors are also…’

Many instructors and professors who worked with Yoo Eun-seol also moved to the academy when she joined.

Some of them were even familiar faces.

Lim Hyun from the warrior department and Jeong Seon-young from the mage department.

A-grade Holders who were the leader and main dealer when hunting the Swirl Leviathan.

Since they had made a name for themselves as independent Holders, their first classes were quite popular.

Especially Jeong Seon-young, who opened the common course <Applications of Magic Control> in addition to the ice magic major course. And Lim Hyun opened <Utilization of One-handed Sword and Shield> even though two-handed sword is my main weapon style.

I succeeded in registering for both of their attractive classes.

‘And the most important class was a success too.’

<Utilization and Techniques of Short Swords>, which had been a headache.

I got an empty seat thanks to one call from Yoo Eun-seol.

With the assistant opening a seat and me timing it right, I could immediately complete registration.

I guess Korea is still a society of connections, even in a different worldview.

With a reliable S-grade Holder backing me, I had nothing to worry about.

“Ugh, there’s not a single seat anywhere…”

Next to me, Park Jin-woo was clutching his head.

The exact opposite situation from earlier.

Park Jin-woo, who hadn’t made reservations, was unable to find any worthwhile classes to take.

I smiled widely in victory and told him,

“Give up. It’ll be easier if you give up.”

“…Shut up.”

“Tee-hee.”

He was laughing at my misery earlier, so this is karma.

As I kept giggling, I glanced at his screen.

“What class are you looking for?”

“A common magic control class. Oh, the major classes have plenty of seats but why are the common classes so hard to get into?”

“Because they’re common, like the name suggests. Upper class students don’t care much about major classes but are more selective with common classes. I heard common classes are taught better in upper classes.”

Park Jin-woo moved up to upper class this semester.

It was one semester earlier than in the original, but after personally experiencing the butterfly effect, this level of distortion wasn’t surprising.

It wasn’t just Park Jin-woo.

I also completed my promotion to upper class, and Kim Chae-eun, whose decision had been postponed due to the Ha Do-kwon incident, also got promoted to upper class after a re-test.

Considering the lowest upper class Holders have C-grade level skills, our promotions were probably natural developments.

As I kept chiming in next to him, Park Jin-woo’s expression crumpled.

“Looking at us, people would think we were upper class from the start.”

“I was just telling you what I heard. Why are you being so prickly? That’s why people who fail course registration turn out like this.”

“Who did you hear that from?”

“Kang Juyeon and Moon Ga-eun. Especially Moon Ga-eun, she knows the upper class stuff well.”

“What, are you dating those girls now?”

“This guy acts like I’m dating everyone.”

Looking at it, Park Jin-woo is the real playboy here.

I took the mouse from him and said,

“Here, let me look. I probably know better than you.”

“Do whatever you want. I’m screwed anyway.”

The class Park Jin-woo was looking for was <Applications of Magic Control>.

An advanced course following <Fundamentals of Magic Control> that we took in the first semester.

It was a popular common course, and the classes taught by famous professors were all full.

Click-clack, click-click.

Scrolling down slowly, I couldn’t find a class by a decent professor.

They were all either low-quality lectures, or notorious professors known for difficult assignments and exams.

Even considering the generally low standards of the academy professors, taking these classes would be worse than not taking any.

As I kept scrolling through the classes.

“Huh?”

I noticed something strange.
