'I am fully prepared now, there isn't a question on visualisation that I can't answer now.'

The large auditorium started to fill up with students as the clock hit 4pm and the professor could be seen sitting behind a tall table, sipping on a cup of tea. The students all seemed to be carrying cold and disinterested expressions as none of them truly wanted to attend this lecture, it was only because they failed in some subjects that they were forced by Haven to attend these supplementary classes.
No one had even heard of the professor that would be teaching them, he was a ghost in their eyes, someone that almost didn't exist. The professor before them seemed young and probably in his mid twenties, wearing an expensive grey suit and had a black overcoat hung on his chair. The professor also had fair skin, red eyes and brown hair.
From what one might think, the professor could be considered quite handsome, possessing a very aloof demeanour. One moment he would be sipping his tea, the next he would be staring at the ceiling, completely blank.
"Hey, Benny, this guy is our lecturer right?" A tough looking blond haired boy asked. The boy next to him on the row responded calmly, "well if he isn't, who is?"
"Whatever, my combat is good enough already, what's the fucking point in learning theory? I AM PEAK RANK 2!" The blond haired boy shouted.
"Enough. Stand up and greet you new professor." The red eyed man calmly spoke.
No one responded, they were all in their own worlds, pretending not to hear the words of the new professor. Disrespect could be summed up by the scene taking place here. No one made eye contact with the man, no one stood up, and no one greeted. A large class of failures as Haven would label it, since one had to fail at least 2 subjects to get forced into supplementary classes.
When living a life outside of Haven, people need to be prepared. So what if they know how to fight? They might only become a small time street enforcer if they go about living by their fists. Theory cannot be underestimated.
'These kids are so fucking disrespectful! If this was my household, they would have been beaten to death! I am gonna make them think twice before acting so high and mighty.' Simon thought to himself as he smirked.
"Hey, you over their!" Simon spoke as he pointed to the blond boy. "What is your name?"
The blond haired boy stood up and giggled a bit. "Why are you calling me out? You really have nothing better than to make an example out of me?" The blond haired boy laughed.
Simon suddenly gave the kid a piercing glare that dug straight into the latter's spine. "You must be Liam Chen; loud, disrespectful, a rebel, unable to listen, egomaniac, terrible at theory... the list goes on, the last professor must have really hated you." Simon chuckled.
"I'll make a bet with you, kid. If you can prove to me that you don't need theory to thrive in life, I will exempt you from supplementary classes, if you can't, you will have to stay an extra hour every day from now on."
"Easy! I can become a bounty hunter, that will get me some good money." Liam said confidently.
"Wrong, you don't even know how to use your VP to track a rabbit yet. I just checked your files, you failed that assessment. How are you going to track a target without that tool of the trade?"
"I'll become a bodyguard then!"
"Pffft! All high paying bodyguard jobs require a visionary that can condense mobile shield bubbles! The files say you can't even condense a box!"
"I will become a soldier-"
"The army requires all enlisted personnel to have passed an exam level theory test."
"I will become a businessman!"
"Visionaries can use their powers to make 3D diagrams that exceed the capabilities of computers, which are often used in business."
"I will become a gladiator!"
"Can you beat an 'Oscillating Ripple Jab'? It's a very hard to master this technique which is based on visionary theory, which can knock an equally power opponent to the ground in a single hit."
"FINE! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FOR ME TO DO? NOT EVERYONE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL!"
"Wrong! In Haven, there is no room for failures. I will show you that. Everyone here will become successful if they can improve their theory. The most high paying jobs require a decent understanding of theory, otherwise you won't get anywhere! So listen up, I am going to make sure that none of you take theory lightly anymore!" Simon pointed around the room.
"Firstly, Creating 3D objects with VP. If you can't do this by the end of the week, I will recommend your expulsions! If I like your work, I might even throw in some combat oriented theory..."
