# Enhanced Translation
Ivan stood at the podium, scanning the numerous eyes of students who were looking at him with bored expressions.
Quite a few students overlapped with his Demon Race Ecology lecture. It was clear they were planning to spend the semester comfortably with this 5-credit elective course.
What matters isn't the students' thoughts, plans, or will. The 21st century education system pursues "universal education." This means providing an equal education system to everyone, regardless of student quality.
This uncivilized world needs to be introduced to the beautiful culture of modern civilization. It's something that must be done as a representative of Earth.
"In this class, you will learn survival skills."
He continued speaking while glancing at several students who flinched (they were summer camp participants).
"The most important concept in survival skills is selection and focus. In other words, it can be expressed as 'abandonment.' You must choose what's directly related to survival and abandon everything else."
Ivan turned around and began writing on the blackboard.
-Resources, Body, Comrades.
"When exposed to a hostile environment, an individual must abandon the following things in order to survive. Resources, the items you currently possess. Leave only what's essential for maintaining vital functions, abandon unnecessary things one by one, and find a safe area."
"Body. The last personal asset you can use after depleting all resources. These are essentially the last things you should abandon."
"Comrades. Multiple individuals with physical impairments are more advantageous for survival than a single person with intact limbs. When survival is considered a task, all work can maximize efficiency through role distribution."
Ivan turned away from the blackboard and faced the students again. Their expressions were somewhat pale.
In a peaceful world, words like "survival skills" and "comrades" might naturally be difficult to accept. But considering the future, this class is absolutely necessary.
Ivan nodded briefly and said:
"In the last war, the average survival time for soldiers entering demon territory was 17 minutes. Through this class, you'll learn how to turn those 17 minutes into 17 days. Any questions?"
The audience remained silent. The thoughts running through their minds were generally the same.
Do I really need to take this class?
But 5 credits... and it's an elective... and pass/fail grading is too attractive...
"If there are no questions, this concludes the course explanation. Come dressed in clothes suitable for activity next week."
Before leaving, Ivan calmly scanned the students' faces one last time.
'47 students overlap with the first lecture.'
[Human Body Structure and Magical Power]
Ivan finished writing on the board and addressed the students.
"Since there are mages, knights, and priests here, I won't elaborate on magical power. Those who cannot use magical power should not take this course."
Ivan looked at the art and music students as he spoke. Of course, almost everyone present was nobility, and manipulating magical power was merely a basic skill for nobles, so no students objected.
He nodded with satisfaction and continued.
"The human body consists of the skeleton, muscles, tendons connecting skeletal muscles, neural networks, and blood vessels. With sufficient training, you can channel different types of magical power into each of these components."
He drew a simplified diagram of a forearm on the blackboard.
"Depending on how it's used, magical power can substitute for all these components. This means that even if muscles are torn, bones are destroyed, or nerves malfunction, you can continue physical activity through the adjustment of magical power."
The students' expressions became astonished. It's unavoidable. In this underdeveloped pre-modern society, the concept of anatomy was at an almost primitive level. (No, that's not it.)
"In this class, you will learn how to substitute parts of your body with magical power. From fractures to nerve damage, and ultimately to self-rescue in a state of cardiac arrest."
"Car...diac arrest...?"
A student murmured blankly.
"In this class, theory is only supplemented through practical embodiment. Feeling the body structure with your body is more helpful for learning than seeing an anatomical diagram. After the 5 months of this course, you'll be able to continue fighting even with broken limbs."
The students' murmuring grew louder. Is this guy crazy? they wondered.
Ivan didn't even pay attention to such trivial noise. He was a rational person. Those who won't take the course should leave. Teaching time was always insufficient.
And reducing the number of "suspects" would help with this operation.
"Any questions?"
"Um... how will the practical training be conducted?"
"Good question."
Ivan nodded silently as he looked at the student who raised her hand. She was a small-framed female student. She was trembling as she looked at Ivan.
"We'll control the sensation in specific areas through verified drugs and train you to function again through magical power. A Saintess will be present throughout the process, and we'll only use drugs that don't leave aftereffects."
Completely safe and even beneficial. Ivan was secretly proud as a civilized person. In the 21st century, considering student safety when designing course curricula was common sense.
Fantasy world students couldn't help but be amazed at Earth's systematic education process.
"Is he really crazy?"
"What should we do about this class? Just drop it?"
"But it's 5 credits just for attendance..."
"What is the priest doing? Not arresting that guy."
Hearing the murmurs, Ivan quietly nodded.
"If there are no other questions, that's all for today. See you next week. We'll start with the right arm, so come dressed in clothes that make it easy to roll up your sleeves. Yevgeny Novikov Karamzin. Follow me to the professor's office."
"Yes, yes, bro... I mean, Professor?!"
As soon as Ivan left the classroom, confusion erupted among the students.
Since the "Kalion Airship" incident, Ivan had memorized the personal information of all students enrolled at Yansk University.
Therefore, attendance checks were unnecessary. It wasn't difficult to calculate absences by reviewing the names of those who registered for each class and those who were seated.
'About 23 people took all three classes in common.'
While scanning the list of registered students, Ivan was lost in thought.
This was why he had opened three courses. At least three classification indicators were needed to identify "suspects" within a specific group.
There are always demons or demon spies infiltrated in the academy protagonists' classes.
It's such obvious common sense. There's no other reason why the protagonists' classes always get caught up in terrorist attacks. There are spies sitting in the classroom from the beginning.
Preparing three courses worth 5 credits each was a minimal effort compared to the reward.
Think of it as the instructor version of what even Hermione had been doing since elementary school. Unfortunately, since there's no Time-Turner in this world, Ivan had to use a more realistic method.
Extremely minimizing leisure time (including sleep time). This is also a basic survival skill. It's not difficult if you maximize "selection and focus."
As a result, Ivan was finally able to gather all the protagonists in one place and design a perfect trap.
'Isabelle, Oskar, Elfihera, Asidis.'
He succeeded in placing these students in all three courses.
That was why he structured the classes identical to the summer training camp. He made his classes sufficiently attractive to these students.
A class that's not difficult once experienced, and worth a total of 15 credits—a first-year college student could never choose otherwise. (That's Kim Seon-woo's perspective.)
And.
'Yu-jin, Oswald, Yuri.'
It wasn't difficult to put these three in the same class either. For them, he just had to give orders. (Individual will doesn't matter. It's an opportunity to take such useful classes for free.)
Now, "protagonists" from different departments have gathered in one place. Under these conditions, demon spies must infiltrate.
Because such an opportunity won't come again.
And there are three such courses. While it's generally possible for students to overlap between two courses, anyone who overlaps in three elective courses unrelated to their major is definitely suspicious.
To reduce false positives as much as possible, he scared students a bit during orientation,
But at the same time, he designed the course plan to bring all attending students to a "useful level of training."
So they could respond to wars or special situations at any time, navigate "academy common sense events" with minimal personnel loss.
A well-trained agent never establishes operations for just one goal at a time. This is the truth.
And.
"What about that guy?"
"He's human, brother!"
"Hmm."
On this side, there's a race identification cheat key, the Status Window.
Yu-jin rubbed his palms together and smiled deviously.
"So I'll be exempt from the practical training, right?"
"Did I make such a promise?"
"Eck."
