The El-Melloi Classroom is a fascinating place.

Despite bearing the name of the Lord of the Department of Mineralogy, it doesn't belong to that department. Instead, it's affiliated with the smallest and most obscure department within the Clock Tower's thirteen departments: the Department of Modern Magecraft.

Generally, classrooms like this have no future. They hide in dark corners, clinging to past glories, barely clinging to life. When they finally can't hold on any longer, they disappear completely, becoming history. No matter how brilliant and dazzling they once were, there are no exceptions. This time-honored organization, this ancient city, has buried too much glory and splendor.

However, this classroom is different. Initially, it was also on the verge of decline, barely surviving. The ancient classroom, which should have been presided over by the Lord, fell into the hands of a newcomer, a rookie who had just obtained the qualification of a third-rate lecturer and was at odds with the original master of the classroom. At that time, almost everyone watched with amusement. Even the enemies who intended to carve up the El-Melloi were lenient towards the classroom, intending to take it as entertainment.

Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the better. The classroom miraculously stabilized in the hands of that rookie. Then, with its almost unorthodox new teaching methods, it quickly spread its fame and firmly established itself in the resource-scarce Department of Modern Magecraft.

Those enemies, seeing that the situation was not good, were about to strangle the reborn classroom. However, the former master of the classroom, Lord El-Melloi, who had been missing for many days, miraculously returned. Not only did he extinguish the rebellion with thunderous momentum and deter the enemies, but at the beginning of the new century, he first reached the top of the Grand Status with an epoch-making thesis and then married the Sophia-Ri family's daughter, which was also a Lord family, pushing the prestige and power of the El-Melloi faction to an unprecedented height.

Strangely enough, the core of the El-Melloi faction, the El-Melloi Classroom, seemed to have been forgotten by this legendary Lord. It was neither regarded as a hero and returned to the Department of Mineralogy, nor was it regarded as a traitor and suppressed. It did not receive any assistance and was left to fend for itself.

Until the autumn of 2004, the department and the classroom, both bearing the name of El-Melloi, still maintained a strange state of non-hostility, no goodwill, and no contact. The new master and the original master of the classroom had never even appeared together in public, which inevitably led to speculation.

Some say that Lord El-Melloi has always been conflicted.

On the one hand, the El-Melloi faction was on the verge of decline, and many talented students and individuals had distanced themselves from it. Only this student stood up and saved some face for the faction.

On the other hand, this student was the one he was least optimistic about. Not only did he give him a mediocre and incompetent evaluation, but he also embarrassed him many times in public. As a result, this student used his actions, in another way, to give him a hard slap in the face - saving face while slapping him in the face. In the end, he could only deal with it in this way not pulling, not hitting, not caring.

It has also been said that this is a conspiracy of the El-Melloi faction. On the surface, they are distancing themselves from the relationship, but in reality, they have reached out to the Department of Modern Magecraft. Otherwise, how could the current master of the classroom, a young man with mediocre magic talent and an ordinary Magic Crest, become the master of the Department of Modern Magecraft?

Yes, after nearly ten years of hard work, the young man who was not yet twenty years old has become the master of one of the thirteen departments of the Clock Tower. Although it is the smallest and the only new department without a Lord, the master is the master. This young man has also become the most dazzling figure after Lord Barthomeloi and Lord El-Melloi. He is called The Crownless Lord and The Commoner Noble by many young people, and is also the most sought-after target by young women in the Clock Tower - cough, this one cannot be mentioned in public, otherwise, he may be attacked and retaliated against.

Regardless of whether it has anything to do with the El-Melloi faction, it cannot hide the fact that the El-Melloi classroom is flourishing.

Today's El-Melloi classroom is full of talents.

The master of the classroom, the Crownless Lord of the Department of Modern Magecraft, Waver Velvet, who is known for his easy-to-understand lectures, is undoubtedly the top attraction. In addition, there is a group of senior lecturers who are out of tune with the mainstream of the magecraft society but are themselves of high quality.

Now that we've talked about the teaching staff, let's talk about the students. As the saying goes, "A crooked stick will have a crooked shadow." The teachers are all eccentric people who are unorthodox to some extent, and the students can't be much better. The El-Melloi classroom has always been called the Problem Child Detention Center, and it houses all the problem students who give other departments headaches.

However, it is undeniable that these students are talented and excellent. If they weren't, the Department of Policies, which is in charge of the management of the Clock Tower, would have expelled them long ago instead of sending them to the El-Melloi classroom. And Waver just has the ability to tap their potential and teach them. Many of the former problem children who have graduated from the El-Melloi classroom have already obtained the evaluation of Fes Rank and even Cause Rank. These achievements are shocking and intimidating to many enemies.

Of course, Waver has suffered a lot to teach these problem children. Smoking, frowning, gray hair, all of this is half due to overwork and half due to being angered by the problem children.

Waver, who is infinitely youthful on the outside, has sighed countless times while holding a cigar in his mouth, frowning, and looking at the students outside the window. Today is no exception.

The most dazzling one is undoubtedly the boy with short blond hair and blue eyes, who looks very sunny and cheerful. He is sitting on the railing of the corridor singing:

"Go, go, our Big Ben Star, our Clock Tower super No. 1~"

He is the best student in the El-Melloi classroom at present, and also the number one problem child, known as the genius idiot Flat Escardos. He has no common sense, likes to cause trouble, and likes to give people nicknames.

According to incomplete statistics, most of his nicknames circulating outside are given by him, such as Big Ben Star and Master V.

The second is a handsome young man with blond hair, but the difference is that Flat's hair is straight, and he is curly. Flat has blue eyes, while his eyes waver between emerald green and ultramarine. Svin looks thin and small, but his limbs are perfectly shaped, like an ancient Greek statue, strong and with a touch of wildness.

No, not wildness, this guy is a beast, a humanoid beast. The way he kept twitching his nose, bending over, his eyes glowing green, almost on all fours, was like a crazy husky.

"Gray! Where's Gray? Where did my dear lady go?!"

Most of his classmates sighed that he looked good, and it would be great if he didn't have such strange behavior. However, he is still quite popular among some girls who believe in judging people by their looks and bloodline. It seems that there are also quite a few parents who have instigated their daughters to take advantage of the situation to get a hold of him.

His name is Svin Glascheit, from an ancient family of magus with some kind of beastly bloodline. He is known as the Twin Jewels along with Flat, a young man, well, with the same level of problems.

The rest of the students don't look very serious either. Some are fighting, some are sleeping on books, and some are practicing magecraft in broad daylight.

Waver: Ahhhh, my stomach hurts again.
