Chapter 11: First Of the Class
At the very front of the room sat a desk — and on it, a... fairly attractive man.
Judging by his looks alone, Arteus was pretty damn sure this guy had lived a life of luxury, ease, and having everything handed to him on a silver plate.
The man had dark brown hair that reached his shoulders, tied back in a low ponytail. Some of it rested on his shoulders, hanging forward. He wore a suit so overdesigned and frilly, it almost looked like a damn robe. On his face sat a monocle — perched over his left eye — while his chin rested lazily in his hand, lips curled in an amused little smile.
But the strangest part?
His eyes.
Not ocean blue.Not ice blue.More like... the sky. Clear. Unsettling. Alive.
'He's... weid..but at least he's pleasant to the eye' he thought to his mind.
Arteus looking at the guy awkwardly shifted his gaze.. and his eyes landed on a clock that hangs on the wall between the two boards in front.. the time says: 6:15 and he remembered the man's word.
' I am early.... but... the fuck is he doing here then?? Just sitting there? Waiting for someone?... Creep.. ' he thought.. but he didn't dare to say it outloud...not because he's scared of the school or him being a teacher...but... the man's aura.. his over all vibe..
It felt — Sharp... pointy?? But at the same time..its calm..and peaceful?
He cant really tell.. All he know is that , this guy is not someone he should mess with.
"Uh..Good morning.. sir.." he stiffly before choosing a seat around the back.. Since he couldn't really sit at the front with huge ass wing being in the way.. so he chose to sit at the back where he could freely let his wing han back on the chair wihout feeling cramped.
.
.
.
And just like that he spent the next few minutes in there.. alone and looking around EXCEPT to the professor.. Because the dudes literally just there.. the same pose, same smirk.. still looking at HIM!
'FUCK! WHY WONT HE LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE?!' Arteus already felt tired.. the class havent even started yet...
This goes on for a few more minutes and soon, Student began arriving.. First giving the sweating guy Arteus with a large and folded wings behind him a strange look, some glaring at him when they see his uniform.. then turning their attention to the professor and greeting him briefly before they took their own chairs.. of course everyone avoided the chairs besides him
But who gives a shit.. thats actually better to him since h —
He couln't finish the thought when some guy sat on his left

And the moment the guy arrived the professor finally moved.
"Anyway... the missing one should be Ave.. he have already informed me he wouldn't make it todays class...shall we start the class?"
.
.
.
" — Like what we have discussed from our previous lesson there are two types of power that we can harness." The man with a monocle, was speaking.
He have briefly introduced himself as professor Adams to those who have just joined his section. But other than that he didn't spoke more about himself and focused more on the lesson.
"Now, can anyone in here tell me those two types?" He asked looking around the class when the man besides Arteus raised his hand to answer.
"Yes, Marcus?" Proffessor Adam spoke and motioned for Marcus to go on.
"That would be the Mana and the manifestation of our will and desire which is called the Dreams." Marcus who remained seated besides Arteus, spoke and answered his question..
Hearing what he said, Professor Adam nodded. And continue on with his lesson not really minding that he was seated...because from what Carter thouht him people was suppose to stand up when answering the professors right?...
Arteus' wings flutter from because of his thought.. of course he didn't notice it and Adam only spared it a glace before continuing with his lesson.
"Thats right, The difference to those two power — this the part where we got cut off yesterday — Is that a Mana is something that is innately in our body.. it just need a small push to awaken them" He spoke, as he walks around with a hand on his back.
"You.. tell the class how you awakened.. no need to be shy" the professor giggled slightly "And you dont have to hide it.. It's not like I'll bite~"
Suddenly Adam pointed towards a girl who is seated on the far left, the same line as Arteus.. She seems looked surprised that the professor managed to find out.. but she soon looked like she have accepted it and stood up with a nod.
Turning around she bowed towards everyone in the room and greeted them. 'Oh... this girl is polite.. thats a breathe of fresh air' he thought while he began to check her out —'WITH ALL DUE RESPECT!! DUHH' Arteus slight turning red rolled his eyes to himself.
.
.
.
'Did.. that guy just rolled his eye at me? ... Did I perhaps did something wrong?' Amelia Rux Foxstart,,, Or just Amelia began talking.. first introducing herself again.. because she knows that there were a few new students in here who were not present when the class self introduction was done.
She was quite tall, around 5'8 and a beautiful and slender legs. She already have noticeable curves on her and all in all she was developing into a quite beautiful lady.. mostly thanks to her mother's gene..
She have a smoky yet, beautiful and glossy silver hair.. A unique trait in their bloodline.. Her eyes meanwhile is red in color, like a fiery ruby is embeded in her eyes. At the moment shes a year older than Arteus.. Like Abigail..
After that she began speaking.
"I have awakened at the age of 10 which was the best age to awaken without much side affect and more benefits...at least to my trainer's word.... He awakened me by making me absorb a medium size, C grade Essence crystal with his help and guidance.. He — "
"You can stop it there, Ms Foxstart.. Thank you for your wonderful answer" Adam cut her off, making her confused first before she nodded and sat down on her seat.
"I had to cut you there because you were gonna be explaining my lesson... then i would loose my purpose right?" He winked at her and laughed. "Anyway, you get 2 credits for that"
He said and simply snapped his finger.. And just like that.. When Amelia checked her ID her Credit amount have increased.. boosting her mood...
.
.
.
Arteus made sure to listen intently only for him to hear. "Unfair, right?... she got credits while i got nothing.. Im telling you the Academy is —" Marcus who suddenly began talking to him was interupted by a cold voice.
"Do you perhaps want to add something? Marcus?"
"— uh.. No sir"
"Anyway, by 'small push' I mean that all you need to do is absorb a Essence crystal on certain amount and concentration to stimulate your mana circuit and shock it into starting.. and while it does hurt...extremely so...like really really badly.. it'll get better as you grow......sometimes.." he said.. the last word were almost a whisper but everyone still heard it.... and they kinda started getting scared to this subject...
'Considering that this subject is about mana and core....wouldn't that mean, were gonna have to awaken too... ah well... It is what it is.' he sighed looking at the distant window to his right.. hoping
'It wouln't be that bad..... right?'
