Such poor stats I could more or less forget she even exists but I made a similar mistake in the past which resulted in my brother putting an end to me. Thanks to Aphrodite's function I could see the desires of the heart but this girl's hobby was just ridiculous. "Robert can you demonstrate to the class the proper orbiting structure of mana through the body". Looks like I was not paying attention but this should be a walk in the park since I absorbed enough from the Baron's library...I stood up and went to the class giving a proper and concise demonstration, "Have I met your expectations Sir?", "hmph...mm...more or less" the teacher replied me while putting on airs, "He's actually paying attention" of course I wasn't paying attention it was just theoretical knowledge I applied while following the system's direction. The next class was swordsmanship, My current sparring partner was Wenhao...this lad is seriously the type of person I dislike the most all talk and no show for it..."Wenhao is losing", "Impossible with his frail body how can he dominate him", and with a side step I dodged his incoming blow lunged forward and with a slash the curtain to our fight was drawn. "He's convulsing", "Robert overdid it", "Like father like son", "How ruthless", "Is he actually the trash son?" The teacher on duty ordered some students to take him to the infirmary, he did not caution me that must mean the Law of the Jungle is prevalent here. I agreed I overdid it but that was for a certain someone to not try to test my patience this coming days, a contorted expression colored Sandra's face while the 'top dog' was surprised, as much as I wanted to remain low key I refuse to be stepped on by others, and step on others when given the perfect opportunity so Sandra cocaine burn this into your pupils and brain and never make the same costly mistake your dear sister made.

It's been a week already, the campus was slightly becoming crowded as sundown was approaching, couples holding hands, drunks making a fit all this with the red hue from the sky made me sigh "Youth sure is the best huh?". I just came from the library, to update the system's database on not only maps but potions, even the yearbook, and other novel existences." *System display my status*

Um um...Excuse me are you Robert of Class 1-D?" Hmmmmm? while staring at my status a girl with a pure appearance and a cute face approached me, no seriously there is a borderline between beauty and cuteness, of course, I go with the latter the bedrock of my staunched love for cats. Those ornaments and shoes, conclusion this girl is loaded, a noble or perhaps a merchants daughter ." How can I help you?" with a serious expression I tried to match her pace, "I heard you are the best in our year when it comes to marksmanship I was thinking if you would..." fumbling with the edge of her clothes and with her blushing cheeks how could I say...No wait my tuition and expenses are covered by the Baron however, the ingredients necessary for my breakthroughs were hard-earned...As a former CEO, I had quite impressive management skills. As soon as I was about to bully her "I'll pay 5000 gold coins for your help in hunting magic beasts in the tower." In the academy apparently, the tower housed a much dangerous magic beast which was an avenue for practical experience to the students...oooooh this lass knows her stuff...I frowned into contemplation because extorting this much from her, even the amount should prove she was from an important background. "8000 gold coins is all I have now" maybe she mistook my frown, well anything goes, forming a good relationship with this princess and getting in her good books would be the best course of action. "It's alright 5000 would do, I would be going into the tower to complete missions, tomorrow by 6am don't be late" with those words I left before she hastily replied "Yes", come to think of it she did not tell me her name.

Name: Anastasia Crown

Title: Princess of Nondol

Level: 3

Family: Crown

Abilities: swordsmanship(B+), marksmanship(A+)

MP: 300

Strength: Level 3

Agility: Level 4

Gasp...The crown family is the royal family but looking at the status displayed by the system it seems my deductions were spot on...the most puzzling thing right now is that her marksmanship was clearly A+ unless she already knows my schedule and knows my frequent visits to the tower hunting for magic beasts orbs...mayday! mayday! we have a stalker...Wait I minute I may be overthinking this. While giggling to myself like a mad man and spitting some cringe-worthy lines about my charisma and charm I walked back to my room. The next morning I was given a death stare by two female knights specifically for what reason you may ask? I did not hate to be put under pressure, and most importantly I wanted to use this adventure as a bonding session with the princess, I should've more or less expected this. Though they are not lacking in luster and endowment. As a pure-blooded utilitarian, I see the pragmatic perspective of things and won't be swayed by those huge mounds of flesh. Well, the real problem was actually their stats, they were both at least level 5 close to Intermediate Ranker level and I won't deny the fact their stats were infinitesimally close to mine on the premise I did not activate my curse series. Their eyes examined me properly while giving me a despicable look, well that is to be expected since I am pretty sure they did a background check on "Robert'. "Don't try anything funny young man or else"...the first knight Emilia made a cutting expression with her hand on her neck I smiled grimly. The second female knight was Grace she was the reserved type but even I knew that it was those with an apathetic sense of bearing who was the most dangerous, in response to their gestures I replied by respectfully bowing to at least retain my dignity, what was the point of this whole expedition if I could not even preserve my life. Let the conquest begin then. I submitted my academy card and received passage to the 36th level along with the princess and her knights, the special treatment was obvious. As soon as the teleportation illumination died down...
