The next morning, Yman wore his new uniform, a dress suit of black and white, paired with black pants. And a big backpack on his back. With him were his sister and Ms. Pai. They were heading into the Academy via train. Ms. Pai would be an adviser at the Academy and him as a trainee and a student at the same time. His sister, of course, would be coming with them, since no one would take care of her at the apartment.
Sistela and Alo were floating beside Yana. Alo was the name of Ms. Pai's deity.
From his profit of selling arrows on yesterday's chaos, Yman was able to advance his deity, Sistela, into level 1. Now, she was capable of floating. But the pay wasn't cheap, because he spent 500 gold points.
Although he spent a considerable amount of his points, he acquired a new additional magic skill in return, a quick movement skill for a distance of 10 meters. The skill name was Rapid Leap.
However, he wishes to obtain an attack magic skill. But too bad, he doesn't seem to have luck in this aspect. Even though Rapid Leap was not an attack-type magic skill, it was one of the rarest skills that is difficult to get in a random.
Exactly at 7:00 am that they arrived at the Academy.
Yman proceeded to the auditorium where all the freshmen have to gather. When he reached the area, he saw a vacant chair located on the second row of the 5th column. He hastily went to own the seat before anyone else took it.
*Creak!* After taking his seat, the chair made a slight creaking noise. It's not even 10 seconds had passed that he was sitting when--
"Hey!" A loud call from someone beside him almost ruptured his ears.
He glanced to his right side out of reflex, to where the voice came.
He was greeted by a pair of beautiful green eyes that were staring straight at him. A pretty face of jade-like skin, and with the hair of lavender colored that was tied in a ponytail, "such a beauty," he mused.
"Hey!" She called out again in a slightly lower voice than before. But her brows furrowed when no reply from the guy she was calling.
"Huh?" Was the only response that escaped off from his mouth; he wasn't able to react because he was in a daze for a second.
"Get lost, that chair has already been taken!" The girl said in a stern voice.
Yman noticed the eyes of other students glaring daggers at him, "taken?" he was surprised. Then he continued after letting a sigh, "i-it looks like I-I mistook this s-seat. If that was the case, then it can't be helped," he said shyly, then stood up, but when he about to leave, murmurs broke out all of a sudden.
Pfffffffftttt!!! Some students were trying to hold their laughter.
"This bumpkin!" said the student with a mole on his left eye.
"Countryside idiot!" another student with a thick make-up on her face whispered.
"You mean mentally ill guy?" Said the girl with an extension on her eyelashes.
Their criticism that belittling his person reaches his ears.
Some students were whispering while some intentionally murmured in a much louder voice.
"How shameless, he was trying to sit beside Miss Kesha. One of the most beautiful trainees in this Academy. Haha." Laughed a male student with curly blond hair.
"Hehe, thick-skinned mountain person," Said a girl student with purple hair.
Yman sighed. *Hah~*
"They were making fun out of small things. Idiots! It's better to find a new seat than hearing your nonsense," He mumbled.
Well, He was already used to this kind of treatment, so their taunts and ridicules or what so ever didn't affect him anymore.
He craned his neck and looked around, disregarding the taunts and ridicules that like bees because of the unharmonized volume of their voices.
Gladly, Yman found a vacant chair, second row to the last in the same column.
He went towards it without a second thought, and when he reached the chair, he was about to sit when a guy sitting next to it suddenly yawned and purposely spread his left hand on the vacant chair. The guy's left hand blocked the seat!
"Uhm, e-excuse me," Yman tried to grab his attention, but the guy was purposely ignoring him.
He scratches his head, then decides to sit without minding the arm that spreads across the chair.
Nevertheless, if something happened to this guy's arm, then it was this guy's fault alone. Right?
But before Yman could take his seat, he noticed that the guy lifted his hand and was trying to push him, out of a sudden, he unconsciously dodged it by slightly hopping to his left side. He widened his eyes when he noticed that the guy's hand became blurry because of its speed alone. Yman thought for a second if how much agility and strength have had this guy's Attribute?
It was obvious that this guy had higher Attributes than him!
The guy's fingertips were able to reach him, causing him to stagger 2 and a half step backward.
Kyaaah! A sudden high pitched yell from someone when Yman bumped to the person behind him.
Thump!
Thump!
It was followed by two consecutive thumps when two butts landed on the auditorium grounds.
Yman twisted his neck to look behind him and see who the other person was.
He saw a young girl with neck length blue hair, beautiful round eyes, and a headphone in her ears. The girl was cute but not as pretty as the girl with lavender hair that he saw a moment ago.
"I-I'm so-sorry, Miss..." Yman apologized in a stammering voice.
"Aww, I-its okay," The girl said in difficulty while trying to cover her private part that was about to display because of the short skirt of the uniform she was wearing.
The girl lifted her hand and about to grab the hand that Yman offered. But it pauses and in a half reach only.
Yman stood up first and tried to offer a hand to the girl since it was his fault, to begin with. No, not actually his, but he was half at fault so he was partly to be blamed as well. However, he noticed that the girl had a second thought of whether to take his help or not so he gradually retreated his arm and bowed slightly to apologize again.
