Aesop just said one sentence. "Kid, do not take up too many responsibilities, when you are not powerful enough to take them."
Tristan shrugged. "Do you think I love taking on such headaches? I'm not a hero, I just want to be strong enough to be safe and keep those around me safe."
"Sometimes, the simplest desires are the hardest to acquire." Neffy suddenly said.
"Don't do whatever you did again." Aesop said with tiredness. "Don't anger that thing." With that, he disappeared.
Neffy looked at Tristan, but then raised an eye. "You... did you learn the Rabbit exercises?"
"What did you think I went to do on Rabbit World?" Tristan asked.
"Master said you went to change my brother's preference." Neffy said as her eyes suddenly filled with anger.
Tristan took out his phone and showed his mission and the mission report.
"Teacher!" Nessa stamped her leg and ran towards Aesop's office.
The next day in class, people were staring at him. Yesterday's sudden explosion of blood had caused rumors that he had been attacked by Neffy at night.
"I wouldn't mind being attacked at night by Neffy." Someone whispered.
Tristan snorted and slept in class. Neffy heard that rumor all around in the day. When she heard that comment in class now she snapped.
"You, give me your dorm number. I will attack you at night. Let's see if you still like that image." She snarled.
"I...I..." The male student stood up fearfully.
Somewhere from behind someone whispered under their breath. "He knows that rabbits have good hearing, still he made that comment. Looks like he really wants some nice 'beating' at night from the teacher."
Obviously Neffy heard that, and she knew it was directed exactly for her to listen. She flew into a rage.
"Tristan, do you think I won't beat you up again?"
No one other than Neffy had heard the whisper of Tristan amd she suddenly asked Tristan if he wants to be beaten up 'again'?
The entire class suddenly rose up in uproar. "It's real! He was really 'beaten up' at night!"
"The truth from the rabbit's mouth." Someone commented.
Neffy was almost at tears now. The class was bullying her, she was a powerful warrior, but she couldn't handle such situations very well.
Just then Tristan stood up. "Hey, I hear one more useless whisper about the teacher and you all will get a nice beating from me."
Then he went to sleep again. The class suddenly went silent. Indeed, this guy was ferocious if he was angered. Best not to irritate him, they thought.
The next day Tristan attended normal economics class. As he sat there, a student nudged him. It was a girl. "Hey, do you think you are royalty or something? Occupying the whole bench?"
Tristan was shocked. "Is this the new trend in flirting?" He asked.
"Ha? Who said I am flirting with you?" The rowdy girl said.
"Half the class has empty benches, you found me and asked me if I think I am royalty? Either you are flirting with me or your head has a screw lose. So which one is it?" Tristan smiled.
"This..." The girl scratched her head. "I just wanted to mess with you."
Tristan nodded and shifted his posture to allow the girl to sit on the bench beside him. "Why? Was I too handsome and made you ashamed of your own appearance?"
"I'll give it to you. You have a sharp tongue, that's for sure. I heard you are a member of the special community. I heard they were all stuck up people who didn't attend classes, but I saw you attending, so I was curious." She said. "My name is Andrea."
"Tristan. I am indeed in the special community. What about it?" He asked.
"Why are they treated so specially? They don't have to follow any rules or anything." Andrea said.
"Have you heard of the hidden world?" Tristan asked.
"Well yeah, who hasn't at this point." Andrea nodded.
"Yeah, so Special Community is basically a school for people in the hidden world. Its for people who want to learn powers and stuff." Tristan explained. "It has its own rules, that's why most don't come to normal classes, they have their own special classes related to the hidden world. I just come hear to relax."
"So its like that. But superpowers are really real?" She asked.
"Well, look at my hand." Tristan said as he emitted a little bit of his aura on his hand. The black liquid began forming various animals and images on his palm.
"Wow! Is that magic?" Andrea asked.
"No. But you can do it with magic as well." Tristan said.
"Can these things be learned?" Andrea asked.
"Sure can. I was just like you once." Tristan said.
"But the special community said invitation only?" Andrea said.
"Well you got to test for potential. If you have the potential you can get the invitation." Tristan said. "But the real question is... are you sure you want to get into this world?"
"What do you mean?" Andrea asked.
Tristen showed his hand where the aura was forming beautiful images before the aura suddenly exploded into a powerful spike that stopped just short of Andrea's forehead and frightened her terribly.
"The hidden world is beautiful, but it is often more dangerous than beautiful. You can stronger in the hidden world, but nothing is free in this world. You become stronger, you lose the innocence and safety of the life you lived before." Tristan sighed. "I was in your place once. Unless you are willing to sacrifice your peace of mind, don't think about joining the Hidden World."
Andrea was shocked by the spike just now. Her heart was beating like drums with fear and she could barely think clearly. Then she saw Tristan going back to sleep.
When the class got over, Tristan nodded and then walked away. Andrea remained in the classroom, thinking about what she had seen and what she heard from Tristan.
