Last night, I spent the rest of my time writing down all the things I could remember from the novel on my laptop. The novel was pretty interesting so I had read it a few more times, not to mention asked me for a lot of references while he was writing, so I still remembered quite a lot about the story.

 

The next day I got up early, took a shower and dressed in the new clothes that I ordered online. The delivery system here was really fast, delivering the package within 24 hours. I even got myself a dimensional ring, with a storage capacity of 1500 cubic metre. Cost me a couple of million R. 

 

I had also checked my bank amount and there was 1 Billion R in it, which in my previous world currency was approximately 12.5 Million USD. The Aurum Guild really had a lot of money, befitting their #5 Rank in the entire human realm.

 

I casually walked to the staff room, knowing that I didn’t have to worry about money in this world. A sudden wave hit me as I opened the staff room door, drenching my flame of excitement. 

 

‘Right, I forgot. Money wasn’t the only thing that ruled this world.’

 

I calmed myself in a moment and glanced at the black-haired man sneering at me. 

 

‘This prick is really getting on my nerves.’

 

I hadn’t met this guy for the past few days yet he just couldn’t let me go. Well, thanks to him, I did realise that to survive in this world, what I needed more than money was power. I would have to ask one of the instructors to teach me how to fight. Thankfully, Ray was more of a brain than a brawn, so it wouldn’t seem weird.

 

Miss Misa approached me. Ray was pleasing to the eyes too, but world class beauties really were on another level, defying the laws of physics. Despite being in her thirties, she still looked like she just graduated from being a teenager. Not surprisingly, as far as novel cliches go, she was the homeroom teacher of Rhian’s class. 

 

“Nervous for your first class, Mr. Laxon?”, she asked, in her sweet voice that could make even the angels turn towards it. 

“Mr. Laxon?”, she called again.

 

I brought myself back to reality.

 

“Ah, yes Miss Amore. I do feel a little nervous, but I guess I am getting a bit better.”

 

“I see.”, she gracefully replied, before turning back and walking towards her desk. 

 

Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.

 

‘Appraisal’

Name: Misa Amore

Rank: S+

Stats:

  • Strength 8.9
  • Stamina 8.8
  • Agility 9.3
  • Perception 9
  • Magic Power 10.2
  • Intelligence 7
  • Charm 8.1

Abilities:

  • Drifting Steps(★★★★): A special technique that increases the agility of the user as they move. Upon full mastery it can allow the user to teleport short distances. [Advanced Level]

Skills:

  • Voice of The World(SS) : The world is submissive to the user of this skill, shaping itself to their wishes. The user of this skill can change their surroundings just by voicing their thoughts.
  • Syren(A): A skill worthy of its names, full of seduction and deception. Whoever listens to this voice will fall prey to its sweetness obeying all the commands of its owner.

 

‘Wow, Miss Misa is as deadly as she is beautiful. I guess every rose has its thorns. But a rose is a rose, nonetheless. I doubt even my friend had been able to guess how beautiful she would have been in real-life. A person worthy of being a character in a fantasy novel.’

While Ray was stealing glances at Miss Amore, she was returning his favour in kind.

 

Ray was looking at her with a lot of discretion, but it couldn’t go past undetected with her Perception stat of 9. And it wasn’t something she wasn’t used to. All her life, the people around her would always steal glances at her, some filled with lust, others with greed. 

 

Ray was quite handsome too, taking after his parents. Misa had seen both of them at some of the high-society parties she had attended. Although those two were always indifferent towards each other, nobody could deny that they had been given the title of “Most Beautiful Couple of the Year”, the year the two of them got married.

 

But his glances at her were filled with neither greed nor lust. Rather they looked as if they were admiring a statue or a piece of art. Though being associated with an item of abstraction was unpleasant in its own way.

 

She pulled up a file on her laptop. It contained all sorts of information on Ray Laxon. The League had recently caught hold of information that The Aurum Guild might be associating with The Fallen. So they had asked favours from The President to accept him as a temporary teacher at Star Academy. Misa was left with the responsibility to keep an eye on him. 

 

When she first saw him, although he seemed normal, his eyes told a completely different story. They looked hopeless, as if he had given up on trying. A week after, vitality had sparked in those eyes again. Instead of letting James Lanton bully him, he retorted wisely. After which he shut himself in his room for a week, though her surveillance revealed that he did nothing much but read books on mana during that time.

 

She needed to collect more information to send to the Hero League.

 

There was still half an hour left before my class started, so I organised my desk. I wasn’t that nervous since I had some experience in the teaching industry, having given tuition classes during my college years. But there was still a difference between teaching one student and teaching one class of a hundred students.

 

When there were five minutes left, I exited the staff room and headed towards the lecture hall for the Alpha Class.

 

When I entered the room, the students were loudly talking amongst themselves. Many of the students had formed their own circles. Luke was sitting at the rightmost corner, his lackeys sweet-talking him. Behind him sat Rachel, her eyes were bored to death from seeing the master-servant interactions in front of her.

 

Rhian, on the other hand, was all alone sitting in the leftmost corner. The upper class students avoided him, thinking Rhian was below them, and instead interacted with Luke and Rachel. The less-privileged class students feared him, and thus kept their distance. 

 

I stood on the podium in front of the lecture hall.

 

“Attention please.”, I called out. The students ignored me as they kept talking amongst themselves.

 

‘This is gonna be tougher than I thought.’, I thought inwardly.

 

As I had practised, I released my Rank C aura in the classroom. The noise instantly settled down as the students fought to resist my aura. Ray may not be able to compare against monsters like Misa and President Jaoquin, but he was a Hero in his own right with a place on the Hero Rankings. A bunch of E and F Rank first years were no match for him. Essentially, there was little difference between an Awakened Rank F and a very strong normal human. Though a few students, who had higher rank, were able to easily resist my aura.

 

With the attention of the entire class on me, I began my introduction.

 

“I am sure you are all excited to begin your classes at the prestigious Star Academy, but I would like you all to maintain a level of decorum. Well nice to meet you all, my name is Ray Laxon and I will be teaching you mana theory in my class.”

 

The students all groaned in their seats.

 

“Now, now, I am sure you are all far more excited about your practical training with Miss Amore, but learning about mana theory is very important and is gonna be very helpful in your next class. As people say Knowledge is Power, and the one who is gonna share that power with you will be good old me.”

 

A smile plastered on my face as I began my lecture.

 

Rhian had always felt different from other people. Ever since he was young, Rhian was able to understand everything he experienced easily. While peers at kindergarten struggled to learn alphabets, he was already channelling the mana in his body. 

When he turned 10, he finally understood everything. The memories of his previous life flowed into mind. He had been born on Earth after a thousand years of his death. In his previous war he was a warrior, who had been killed at the hands of The Demon Lord. His family, annihilated.

In this second chance he got, he vowed to kill his enemy. But despite training for years, his mana control hadn’t improved much. In the thousand years he was gone, and the fact that his new body was totally different in constitution from his previous one, the feeling on mana was completely different from what he was used to.

But he wasn’t discouraged. He explored many dangerous places outside the cities that protect the humans and in one of those Gates found a 5 Star Sword Art scroll, ‘The Demonic Dance Sword Art’. He practised until his body was sore as hell and was able to carry out 20 Stances without his body breaking down.

 

But to learn the other Stances he needed a better understanding of mana. So he enrolled into the Star Academy, the #1 Academy for Hero Training. His first plan was to maintain a low key at the Academy.

 

But he had no idea how weak the other humans were, and ended up being the No.1 Hero Cadet at the Academy. His plan was immediately thrown down the drain. 

 

Since he had experienced a noble society in his previous life, he knew how the high society would react to the achievements. They would either monopolise his power for themselves or put him in his place.

 

Rhian didn’t want to experience either scenario so he stayed low and focused on his original, to learn more about mana. 

 

But the teacher in front of him was only a Rank C. Rhian had no idea what this person was going to teach him.

 

He prayed with all his heart that he will be able to learn something from him..

 

“I am pretty sure you all know what mana is. You must have felt it when you Awakened and used it when you practised your weapon arts. Now whether this action is done consciously or subconsciously, it all depends on how much you know about it.”, the teacher began.

 

“Did you know that all mana is a versatile form of energy, it can still be divided into 6 elements. Fire, water, earth and air. The final two are not in your syllabus, but they are classified as the element of healing or light and the element of destruction or darkness. Every Awakened Being has some sort of compatibility with a particular element.”

 

One of the students raised his hand. “Sir, is there some way to tell what element you are compatible with.”

 

“Of course. That’s what you will be doing today. Finding what element you are compatible with.”

 

Professor Laxon snapped his fingers. One of the staff members rolled a trolley into the classroom. A huge mana ball was placed on top of it. It looked like one of those crystal balls you would find in a fortune-telling shop.

 

As the teacher called the students names one by one, the students would place their hands on the ball, pushing mana into it. The only colours the mana ball had glowed were brown for earth, red for fire, blue for water and green for air.

 

“Rank #3 Rachel Briar!”

The girl with platinum blond hair slowly approached the mana ball. She was probably the most beautiful girl Rhian had ever seen in both his lives. She placed her palm on the ball and injected her magic in it. But unlike the previous times, two different colours appeared in the ball. Blue and Brown swirled inside the mana ball as if trying to merge with each other.

 

“Congratulations, Rachel. It seems you inherited your grandfather's powers.”, Professor Ray praised her. “Having two different elements is a very rare trait. You can find it in about one every thousand Awakened Beings.”

 

Rachel silently went back to her seat. The professor called on the next person.

 

“Rank #2 Luke Vestillo!”

 

The black-haired boy slowly stepped down to the podium where the mana ball was placed. Arrogance oozed from each step. He stopped in front of the ball. As soon as he touched the glass surface, the glass turned black as if it had been by ink.

 

Well, the darkness element was expected from the heir of the Shadow Guild. It was one of the rarest elements and sought after elements. The Darkness element used to be considered the element of demons but after a lot of research it was found out that Darkness, the element of destruction, was the most effective in destroying demons.

“Congratulations to you too. Having the darkness element is as rare, if not more than having double elements.”, Ray informed the class.

 

As Luke went back to his seat, his lackeys swarmed him.

 

“As expected of Young Master Luke. You got the best element in class.”

 

Luke smirked in Rhian’s direction. Rhian just rolled his eyes at the childishness.

 

“Finally the #1 Rank of all the first first years, Rhian Vermilion.”

 

As Rhian got down the podium, all the eyes were on him, curious to know what element the #1 Rank would display.

 

But Rhian already knew what his elements were. He had the double elements of Darkness and Water, a combination that could be found once in a million, no, not even ten million Awakened Beings. But Rhian had no intention of standing out even more than he already had. 

 

When he touched the mana ball, he concentrated so that only Water element mana would leave his body. His blue mana completely engulfed the ball, showing not a hint of darkness that the mana ball had previously displayed.

 

Murmurs filled with disappointment erupted from the seats, but Rhian's face only showed hints of relief.

 

But when he looked up what he saw was beyond expectations. His teacher’s eyes were smiling, as if he found this entire affair amusing. 

 

‘There’s no way he knows something, does he?’

 

But when he was returning back to his seat, the answer revealed itself. There was another smiling face with the crowd. Luke had a mocking smile on his face, as if he had just proven something. Rhian quietly took his seat as Ray resumed his lecture.

 

“Well I am sure not everyone here is all that pleased with their results. But don’t worry, this small examination doesn’t dictate anything in  your lives. You guys are more than welcome to learn mana of other elements if you are willing to put in the effort.”, he reassured his students. “In analogy terms, think of this as how a person is either left or right handed. While they have been right handed all their lives, it doesn’t mean they are incapable of using their left hand. It’s just a matter of effort. Though of course, the Darkness and Light elements are exceptions to this case. They go much deeper than just effort ”

 

Ray brought a screen in front of him. On it, were clips of different Heroes using mana while fighting.

 

“Now my job is to teach you all how you can use mana to improve all your fighting styles or in other practical aspects of your life. Not everyone who uses mana becomes a Hero, fighting in Gates for their lives and protecting humanity. Some do it from the comfort of their labs, helping these Heroes. They are called Alchemists and they are the ones responsible for creating different types of potions which can give a Hero an edge during a fight.” A video of an Alchemist lab enlarged on the screen. On it people were doing trial experiments of various potions. Beakers and test tubes filled the table.

 

“Moving on, here is a clip of a Tanker.”

 

The video changed where a Tanker was blocking tiger-looking monsters with his shield.

 

“The most desired element for Tankers is Earth. It increases their defences and gives them a proper footing to protect others. The air element is good to increase speed of your attacks while the water element provides agility and fluidity to evade attacks. The fire element is good for offence.”

 

Ray slowly explained all the elements, explaining all their pros and cons.

 

Rhian had always been the type to use mana based on instinct. Learning about it from a research point of view really helped him. He could probably use more extensive strategies now.

 

After an hour and half had passed by, Mr. Laxon concluded his lecture and exited the hall. Following this, MIss Mia Amore entered the lecture, ready to take all the students to the training hall.

 

But long after the lecture had finished, Professor Ray was still on his mind. Before leaving, he had given Rhian a long look from the corner, which no one would notice unless they were the recipient.
