I regressed and became the Sword Ice King

"Now that we got that settled, can we start with the main goal of the day!" Thalia said, as they slowly regained their composure. "Alright, Tiffany"

Tiffany nodded as she walked towards the board of the Classroom. She brought out a maker and began to write down on the top corner of it, and it read.

"Homeric Academy 65th Festival!"

Tiffany nodded in satisfaction at the artistry of her writing as she turned towards the class.

"The first thing we need is a theme". She said, her voice calm and small, contrasting with her Amazonian appearance. She had dirty brown hair and sparkling golden eyes.

"Well, if you ask me I think we don't need a theme". Yaya said with her hand raised. "We never go through with it".

"True, she has a point," Cynthia nodded in agreement. "but, sadly, a theme is necessary dear"

Yaya glanced at Cynthia, her smile forming a smirk before turning towards Thalia. "Our last festival wasn't the best".

"That's for sure, we've seen better," Felina nodded in agreement. "The theme wasn't even followed through".

"Last year was a failure because our president at the time…was a war fanatic".

They all nodded in acknowledgement.

"The one person I did not want to fight despite being a system user" Carl said in a fit of laughter.

"Well, yes. This time will be different. The festival is the one event the Academy lets us choose. We should make it memorable as we always do" Thalia said with a side glance at Carl that caused the boy to flinch in embarrassment.

"Thaly as a point" Cynthia giggled while Yaya sighed.

"So what are we choosing? We usually go by the mood of the Academy, I think we should do the same this time around". Yaya said.

'The mood of the Academy?' Raph thought, his head spinning in overdrive at the thought. 'Is there….is there a way we can fish them out?' He thought before raising his right hand in the air.

They all turned towards him while Thalia raised a brow and nodded.

"What exactly do you mean by following through with the theme?" He asked.

Thalia furrowed her brow. "Every Academy festival, we have a theme, sometimes love, other times magic and swords, but what we celebrate and how we celebrate it is influenced" " she explained as Tiffany walked forward with a smile.

"Let me give you an example," She said while they turned towards her. "Yes, so let's say the theme is Love. Then what do we do? We celebrate it and encourage people to partake in it.

We perform various activities as well, but the majority becomes this…do you understand?" Tiffany asked.

Raph nodded. "Then, how about Bonds as a theme?" He asked with a raised brow.

The Class stared at him with puzzled expressions.

"What did he say, Bonds?" Felina raised a brow in confusion. "As in alchemy?"

Jaime chuckled next to her. "He's probably talking about connections, sister, between friends".

"Bonds?" Cynthia muttered, her lips pursed with intrigue written on her face.

Thalia seemed even more confused while Tiffany giggled as she walked over to the Board.

"Yes! Bonds, to foster a sense of comrade during the Academy Festival!" She said in realization, writing it down on the board.

'Oh, so that's what he intends on doing….something like that will cause a stir', Thalia thought in realization. 'System and Non-system users are being treated differently, so it's only right we try to fix that relationship…..while also baiting the Cult since they wouldn't stand for that'.

"It's going to need a better name and other than that; we may as well ask the others for their options". She said turning towards the class.

"I'm okay with that", Markinje said, taking side glances at Cynthia, causing a stuffy feeling to grow within him.

She slowly flickered her gaze towards his, and the feeling grew worse as he looked away.

"I have no issue, at all". He continued.

"Bonds sound like a good reason to make System and Non-system users work together", Rita said, her tone low and calm, nearly non-existent if not for the noiseless environment and their sharp hearing.

"Oh! So that's what he's going for!" Carl cried out with a bright laugh as he tapped Raph's shoulder. "That's a good one, kiddo".

Thalia sighed. "I take it that we don't have other options?" Thalia asked with a light smile on her face.

Everyone seemed to remain silent in response. She turned towards Tiffany, who was still writing down some things on the board.

"Well then, what's our Theme name for the festival?" She asked.

"Let's go with this! Bonds Over Conflict! The trails of Friendship" She replied with a grin.

"Awwww!! Her bad Naming sense is back again!" Cynthia whined in disappointment.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it though" Caramel stared back at Cynthia with a raised brow.

"I agree with Cynthia, it's too long," Yaya interjected with a nod.

"Well, it does seem too long". Joo Calinsky nodded in agreement.

Thalia stared at them for a while, sighing, then glanced at Tiffany, who was already back on the board.

"Should we leave it at this then? Bonds Over Conflict?" Tiffany asked with a raised brow while she looked over the class.

The Class Prefects nodded in unison, while she smiled and walked forward. "Well, here you have it" She dropped the marker on the table and leaned on it while Thalia continued.

"With a theme and theme name, then what comes next is our roles, festivities as we know it takes a lot of preparations". She said, "And so, we will begin in earnest".

"It's the same as before No? Each Class would have something to present on the day of the festival?" Yaya asked.

"Well, yes, there's that. But we should also plan other activities that could foster comrade". Thalia said.

Monica Lorientt raised her arm and Thalia nodded.

"How about a Mixed Sword and Magic Combat Tournament?" She asked, and that gained the whole attention of the Class.

She continued with a smirk on her face. "The festival goes on for a week, and we're allowed to bring two guests. Wouldn't they be bored with just the usual?" She asked though the question seemed rhetorical.

Then she continued.

"We should have a separate Magic and Sword Tournament for each day, and on the final day, we'll have five teams of Magic and Sword battle it out for the win".

"That sounds good, Monica, but what would motivate these kids to fight that long?" Joo asked with a raised brow.

"Obviously, Resources" Felicia interjected. "Everyone wants a quick growth, and we can promise the first three teams just that".

"Oh, now I'm interested as well," Cynthia said with a giggle.

"Coming from the principal's daughter, that is a bold statement. Will you be able to handle that?" Thalia asked.

Felicia simply shook her head as she said. "Nonsense, why wouldn't I be able to get something like that from Daddy? please do not underestimate my authority". She said with a prude tone in her voice while Monica sighed next to her.

"You realize how proud you sound just now, right?" She asked her friend.

"D–Did I? I apologize" Felicia said with a startled tone.

Thalia smiled, glancing at Raph as she said. "Not to worry, I've seen worse".

'Okay….now that's just mean' Raph thought with a wry smile on his face. Though, he wasn't hurt in any way.

"Do we have any more interesting ideas that we would like to share?" Thalia asked, and a good number of hands began to rise in the air.

'Oh boy, this will take a while'. She thought with a sigh as she pointed at Adam Teras.

So, the Meeting continued without a fracture of an issue, as they stated their ideas and plans, as well as the goals they set for their classes to make.

All this time, Thalia listened to all of their ideas, while Tiffany wrote down the ones they approved.

This continued for hours until the clouds were stained with a crimson hue while the sun descended into its slumber.

"Alright then, we're dismissed".

The goals had been set, the tasks were shared, and it was finally time to dismiss the meeting.
