Paul and that new guy went into the classroom, and the settled down class instantly exploded with the cries of girls in that class. Whereas the boys felt jealous looking at the two recent students and went into a frivolous discussion between themselves.
"Silence" Han Ye Seul roared this time.
"Crap!" everyone realized they antagonized the tiger, so they became quiet.
"Where do you think you are at? This is a military institute and as a third year, where is your discipline?" she scolded the students sitting in the class.
"Are you guys dumb?" she howled.
"No, Ma'am" the entire class responded.
"What makes you to think that you are not dumb? If I say you are idiots, then you are idiots," she yelled.
"Ma'am. Yes. Ma'am" the students cried in unison.
The other guy with the dark hair shocked to see the students' loud response, which is distinctly visible on his face, whereas Paul stayed there with little of a change in his expression.
"This is what a military academy is about" mumbled Paul, as if he is telling this to that guy beside him, and surprisingly, that new guy nodded too.
"You two introduce yourself" she said, still keeping her eyes on the students.
Paul took a step forward sharply and made a Federation salute towards the class. His movements are fluid, just like a veteran, and Han Ye Seul got impressed with his actions.
"Cadet Paolo Marchetti, 37th batch of 4th division Military academy. Nice to meet to all" he exclaimed his name and the batch of enrollment at the military academy. Han Ye Seul eyes gleamed with excitement because, finally, her class has someone with the proper military discipline. Also at the same time the girls in the class are delighted too for having the both the princes in their class.
But it baffled the boys in the class when they heard Paul's name. Immediately everyone had the same thought, and they looked at one other with their jaws dropped.
"Isn't he the Marchetti heir we read in the news?" one student whispered to the other student that is sitting beside him. That other student nodded while looking straight ahead. He doesn't want to get punished by the tiger for talking in the class. Not only him, every boy in class is struggling not to discuss Paul with their friends because Han Ye Seul will punish them.
"Ability?" asked Han Ye Seul, who has her total focus on Paul. Suddenly everyone in the classroom bent forward to listen to Paul's ability.
"Support Type, Tier-2 Super Learning" he responded coolly, glancing at Han Ye Seul.
"Tier-2. That's better than most of the fourth years in this academy" she replied with a smile.
The gap between each tier is extremely vast, it requires a lot of resources and practice to advance. Tiers are basically evaluated depending on one's control on their ability. For example, take a common defense type ability, Earth manipulation. At Tier-1, the ability user can solidify sand as strong as a concrete and by mastering it till they can make a two meter wall will promote them to Tier-2.
"But what is this Super Learning?" she asked. Humans awaken to their abilities randomly. So there are various types of ability users in this world. Abilities like water manipulation, fire manipulation, Earth manipulation and Wind manipulation are some of the commonly awakened abilities. So it is something well known to everyone, but Paul's ability is not common, so not everyone is aware of it.
"It is like its named. I can learn anything in a very short amount of time" replied Paul.
"Okay. I will assign you to the support type department then" she said smiling.
"Next," she said, and glanced at the other new student. But unlike Paul, she got scared when this guy came forward. All her senses and instincts screamed at her to quickly run away from this guy. She instinctively took a fighting stance, sweating profusely. It confused the students seeing the weird movements of their teacher.
Suddenly, the pressure on her disappeared and everything became normal as it was before. Han Ye Seul is a Lieutenant in the Federation military who fights and kills beasts regularly, but she never felt such dread from any of those wild animals. Even she became dumbfounded at her own reaction just now and felt embarrassed.
"Please introduce yourself" she said rather politely. Paul thought little about this as he is new here, but it stunned the students to see Tiger Han to act so politely.
"My name is Dante" that new guy said in a baritone and went back to his initial position.
"Any second name or a family name" Lieutenant Han Ye Seul asked warily.
"None"
"May I know your Ability? So that I can assign you to a particular department" she said again humbly.
"Did Lieutenant Han fell in love with this Dante guy?" one guy whispered but as the class is silent, the surrounding students heard what he said clearly. With that, the commotion resumed in that class, but this time Ye Seul didn't reprimand them. Rather, she seemed to be in a daze.
*Sigh*
Paul sighed, looking at the situation before him.
"Excuse me, Ma'am. Are you alright?" Paul spoke Han Ye Seul loudly. Instantly Lieutenant snapped out of her daze.
"Uh! What? Yes, I am alright. I'm alright!" she replied.
"I am feeling under the weather today. Anyway, where are we? Yes. Mr. Dante, what is your ability?" she added, this time she asked normally.
"Tier-1. Abnormal" Dante replied slowly.
"An abnormal?" she said with a shock on her face.
"Yes, Ma'am"
"Of course. This explains why I am feeling off from the moment I spoke with you" after a second, Lieutenant Han said with a hint of relaxation on her face. Whereas it shocked the students to know that Dante is an abnormal.
Abnormal type is quite opposite of the Normal type. A Normal ability can only be used for daily activities whereas an Abnormal type ability can be used as defense, attack and support. The Abnormal type ability users are very rare in the Federation. So it shocked the students and Han Ye Seul to know this.
"Well, both of your abilities are unique, so it will take some time to assign a guide to you. For now, attend the regular lectures and get to know the academy" she said. Paul and Dante saw two empty seats at the back of the class and sat there speaking nothing more. The home room went for one more hour and later a lecture on beast anatomy took place. Soon came the lunch break.
The military academy will provide the lunch for the students. So there is a military canteen on the campus itself. Right after the lecturer left the classroom, the girls in the class 3-A flocked around Dante and Paul and bombarded them with questions.
"Paolo, I saw you coming to the academy with the Badami corporation VP. Are you really the heir of Marchetti group? Do you have a girlfriend? "
"Dante! Dante! Which city are you from? Do you have a girlfriend?"
Whatever the question is, the girls added a tail by asking whether they have a girlfriend. Whereas the boys are fuming with anger seeing the Paul and Dante surrounded by girls. Soon the girls from other sections also joined in, turning the situation chaotic.
Suddenly, Dante stood up from his seat.
"Could you guys move aside" he said in an indifferent tone, scaring the surrounding girls. Immediately, they gave him a path to leave.
"How can he ignore someone as beautiful as us?" said one girl, pouting.
"Forget that. He is too good for us" said another girl.
Paul, who got surrounded, saw Dante leaving and said, "This is my first day here and I really want to try the food of academy canteen" while standing up and forced his way out through those girls.
"Wait. Prince! Where are you going?" the girls shouted and chased after Paul.
Luckily Paul already learned about this academy so he used some short cuts escaping from those crazed girls. After a few minutes he reached the canteen and saw Dante, who is already getting a lot of attention.
"Hey, can I join you?" he asked Dante. Dante nodded back and two of them joined the line, waiting for their turn.
Right at this moment a group of students, who seemed to be fourth years came to the canteen and instead of lining up they directly went to the front and grabbed the plates of the students who just received the lunch but neither the staff nor the students didn't retaliate them.
"Hey Rodriquez, isn't that the Marchetti guy in the line?" one Asian in the group said, pointing at Paul, who also staring at their group.
Rodriguez kept threw that plate aside and went towards Paul fiercely. The others in his group also followed him.
"Aren't you the Marchetti guy? I heard you warned my father at your party. Come out. Let's have a duel" Rodriquez said loudly, startling the people in the canteen.
