With teacher Ana watching like a hawk, the group of students started walking along the road quietly and obediently. For most students, this was also the first time they were seeing a void gate in person so no one dared to even breathe loudly. But unlike them, the road was actually quite lively.
Many military men and individual teams were walking back and forth from the gate area. Some of these people had numerous wounds on their bodies. They looked tired and exhausted and yet gave a violent, powerful vibe. When crossing these people everyone made sure to step aside politely. Other than that, there were hawkers lined up on both sides of the road.
"Are you looking for a top-grade equipment repair shop? Look no more, I am right here. My smithing skills were praised by the beast god himself! Come here! Come here!"
"Healing Salve for all wounds is available! Discounts this month!"
"Mana cores can be exchanged here!"
"Buying all the available meat parcels!"
All sorts of wares were being sold. Items were also being exchanged in a barter system. The other students glanced at these things and kept walking but for Noah everything was new. He had never even seen many of these things in his life. There were hideous-looking monstrous beast parts for sale. There were some beasts captured and caged, also for sale.
At one point, there was a basket full of roasted fish and each fish was the size of a dog! It was eye-opening for Noah! "I need to visit the library soon or figure out how to access the internet here." He silently absorbed everything he saw and continued walking around.
But suddenly one voice loudly shouted in his ears. "What? Are you busy taking notes? You should be. With your trash status and empty brain, this will most likely be your job in the future. Ba ha ha ha!" It was Blake. He and a few other students had purposefully hung back so that they would be in the same part of the group.

Noah sighed inwardly and ignored the bunch. He already had too much to deal with and didn't want to waste his time responding to a bunch of bullies. "Oh! Would you look at that? Boss Noah is too busy to talk to us plebs." The group loudly cackled. Since they were now in the market area, they were able to behave a lot more freely and did not hold back.
It was getting a bit much so Noah decided to head to the front and stay away from this group, but just as he stepped forward, another leg came in between and Noah tripped and fell. The road itself was quite wide. However, he was already on the side and when he tripped, he fell towards one of the beast vendors.
More specifically, he fell toward one of the cages the beast vendors had. CLANG!
Noah's body hit the cage, and the impact made a loud noise that woke up the sedated creature inside. Unfortunately for Noah, the beast was not properly sedated, to begin with. Otherwise, this much noise wouldn't be enough for it to become alert.
But his bad luck, a pair of red eyes flashed open, the moment Noah's body hit the cage and before he could react or do anything, something huge and furry grabbed him. Noah's heart almost stopped. Huge claws were digging into his body. Pain rippled across, and blood seeped out.
His entire life flashed past his eyes for a second time. A mountain of weight pushed him down. He felt as if he was going to get torn apart into shreds and disintegrate into nothingness. But just like that, suddenly, all of that disappeared. Noah found himself on the road once again. In front of him, the shapely ass of the new homeroom teacher stood.

Everything happened in a fraction of a second. The loud roar of the beast quieted down, it was subdued and once again put back to sleep. Noah's injuries as well were healed. His bleeding had completely stopped.
"How are you feeling now?" Ana turned back and asked.
"B… Blood.." He stammered. Her voice snapped Noah out of his trance and he hurriedly checked his body.
His shoulders that were punctured into, almost tearing out the flesh to reveal his bones now looked almost completely healed. In a second, everything could have ended for him, but now he was saved? This was magic. This was the same thing he had been excited about, and it was no joke. Noah's heart pounded loudly against his chest, beating out of his heart.
Seeing him sitting on the road, completely scared out of his wits, all the students standing around loudly burst into laughter. A few other passersby also laughed at his plight as they crossed him. "This is what happens when idiots visit dangerous places." Someone said.
"Ha Ha Ha! I bet he peed his pants." Blake's voice loudly resounded. Everyone laughed again, and before things could get worse, the teacher interfered. "That's enough." Ana sternly said, lifting his gold-rimmed glasses. She gave another strict glance at the group and then proceeded to walk forward. Everyone else as well did the same as they continued the rest of the tour.
Only Noah walked along with a dazed look on his face. However, unlike what the others assumed, he was no longer scared. Instead, he was feeling something else. After the initial fright and the absurdity of the situation dawned on him, there was something else that he realized.
In his entire life or rather his previous life, this single second was more exciting, euphoric, and enjoyable than anything else. He had touched death and played ball with him. It was thrilling beyond his imagination. This was a life-altering experience for someone like him who only knew studying and part-time jobs.
He was just another undergraduate student when he died unexpectedly, but now he was in this whole new world, a dangerous world. At this moment, Noah really wanted to learn magic. He wanted to be as strong as the teacher who was walking ahead of them, maybe even stronger than her.
He wanted to see just how far would he be able to go in this world! "Can I really not learn any magic?" Noah clenched his fists thinking about his complete lack of mana affinity. He did not want to be weak and useless, relying on others to live his life. In this dangerous world, that was simply not going to cut it.
He also did not want to live like that. What if he did not have mana affinity? There definitely had to be some other way. "It's fine. I just got here. I will do whatever it takes and become stronger." Right at that second, something loudly chimed in his mind.
