I felt a cold liquid running down my back and all over my body, which forced me to wake up.
In the distance, I could hear some voices talking.
"Dana why did you fight like that, you hurt him, he hasn't even reached G rank!".
"I, I know mom when I realized it I had already activated my abilities, and then I just...".
The voices became clearer, causing my consciousness to fully return and my eyes to narrow.
"Oh, you finally woke up Adad."
In front of me were two women who looked quite similar, with the only difference being their hair color.
"Hi, Adad I'm sorry for going over my head earlier, but I'm surprised that you can have so much mana in your core."
Dana said.
"How are you feeling Adad, I put some E rank potion in you so you will recover soon, now let's go down to eat."
Elena said as she dragged Dana and walked out of the room.
Ah, now I remember what happened.
I should have stayed inside the room.
So, the days passed inside the Hall mansion.
Dana had a week off, which I took advantage of to help me in my training with more shovels.
But thanks to that now my status finally received a big change.

My status had risen to Frank, but my doubts about my performance in the Dawnwinter style exam had not yet lifted.
Traka- Traka- Traka
Currently, we were moving by carriage in one direction.
The best academy on the continent Axe academy of the "Great Mage".
Today was the end of my vacation and the beginning of my second semester.
It was also the day I would see the main characters of the game in real life for the first time.
Deprontl the carriage stopped right at the entrance to the academy which was surrounded by a black gate about five meters high.
Tasha and I got out and walked to a small office in the middle of the gate.
Where a guard greeted us with a friendly smile.
"Hello students, please show me your IDs."
Answering the guard's words, Tasha and I pulled out a pin and showed it.
He took them and proceeded to look for something inside the office, after a few minutes he came out with two new pins which he handed to us.
"Have a happy back to school."
The guard said a few words to us as we walked down the sidewalk.
I fixed my gaze on the pin, which is pink with an E - 1 marked on the back.
According to what Tasha told me when I asked her about it, the pin served as a grading system.
The White color with a G marked on it was for the first Semester boys.
Pink with an F marked on it was for the second.
Yellow with an E marked the third semester.
Blue with a C marked, the fourth semester.
Green with a D marked the fifth semester.
Gray with a B marked the sixth semester.
Silver with an A marked, for teachers.
And the Black with an S marked for the principal.
The uniform also bore this classification.
Each student had the right to choose between wearing a white or black uniform with the stripes arranged according to their semester.
I had chosen the white uniform, which had pink stripes crisscrossing it on all sides.
Tasha, on the other hand, had black with blue stripes.
With every comment we made, we encountered more students who focused their gaze on me, perhaps because of my poor choice of the white uniform that made my hair shine.
Everywhere I looked there were students of different races.
Elves standing in groups under trees, bastkings, and I guess some demonic race although I couldn't tell them apart from humans.
Tasha stopped suddenly, causing my gaze to return to her.
"Adad sees you late I have to go towards the student presidency office, by take care of yourself and don't look for trouble."
As I watched Tasha walk I remembered that in the game, if you don't waste your time trying to turn a character into a villain this happens.
Thanks to Adad, Emilia and Tasha meet and carry out a plan to turn the heroine into a student president.
I continued walking towards the main entrance of the academy, which is more than 12 meters long.
Because it was the place where the whole game was taking place, the academy was very well built.
Its roof was blue in the form of domes and the walls were white with colored windows, similar to those of the churches in the land that filled my sight.
In addition, the courtyards were flooded with gardens with shaped trees, fountains, and statues of great wizards who have inhabited the continent.
In fact, in front of me was a fountain finely decorated with plaster and blue marble that was marked GRAT MAGE on the floor.
I went through the big door and walked down the halls.
...all the while following a girl wearing a pin and uniform just like mine.
The girl who kept sending nervous glances in my direction couldn't resist any longer and ran.
But I stopped in front of a door.
It was marked G - 1 on a plaque.
THUD
I slid open the door, which was noisier than expected, and entered.
The eyes of everyone present were fixed on me.
And I looked back with a rather strange feeling.
Each of them was a character from a game, some of them I had controlled directly and in the back, I had even killed them.
And now I was seeing them again, but no longer as a system, but as people.
I was about to activate Ice Heart to calm down when I heard a voice call my name.
"Adad?"
My gaze turned to the source, it was someone I had known for a long time but at the same time, I had never seen.
"Emilia."
Emilia Zeirjn, the protagonist of Garden Of Thrones, is the heroine, the one who will save humanity.
She was a girl who looked to be 5'6" tall, she had beautiful purple knight-like orchids, her face was finely carved as if by the gods themselves.
You wouldn't expect that girl to be the strongest person on this planet in a few years.
I forced my gaze to detach from her and moved it around the room, we were 20 people counting me, each one of those presents was beautiful.
It was normal, the more important someone was the more handsome.
I stopped my gaze on an empty seat at the end in the left corner and walked towards it.
Adad knew that everyone was looking at him, but not what they were thinking.
In just this short period everyone had noticed that he was different.
Not just his appearance, which was a thousand times better than before, but the way he was.
Before he always said hello when he came in and sat with his group of friends.
But not this time, he had ignored everyone.
Adad's friends were still sitting in his place and every time they wanted to talk to him their eyes met and he couldn't move.
The girls in the room couldn't help but look at him with a blush on their faces.
He was always someone warm who made you fall in love with his smile but now his hair, look, and cold posture attracted you.
But among all of them, there was one girl who didn't look unimpressed.
Her purple hair fell over her forehead, her fist was clenched and she seemed conflicted.
I felt a look different from the others which forced me to turn around.
My eyes met Emilia's. They were different from what I expected.
They were different from what I expected, deep as the sea, tired, they were full of longing, yearning, love, and anger.
But there was something in them that she had seen a thousand times, they were the eyes of a murderer, of someone who had killed... thousands.
At that moment both Emilia and Adad had a thought in their heads.
He-
She-
This is not the Emilia I know.
It's not the Adad I know.
Thuuud
Cutting off my thoughts a clatter echoed in the hall as the door burst open.
Out of it stepped a man, about 25 years old with black hair the same color as his suit which was black, the difference being the silver stripes.
"Hey guys, it's been a while since we've seen each other how to have.....
Ehh~. do we have a new partner?".
At his question once again all eyes turned to me.
"No, I am Adad Hall, teacher."
I replied standing up and looking straight into the teacher's eyes.
After that the class went on without any more pauses, while the teacher who had according to my memories was named Ryu explained a couple of things.
He started by asking how our vacation went and what we had done.
Most of the time was lost thanks to the questions about his days as a knight to the teacher.
In the end, the only thing salvageable was the information about our new rooms.
According to what he said, the new building for us was located in the northwest part of the school.
Riiiiiiiiiiiing~
"Oh, it looks like class is over guys, how about I guide you to your new rooms then."
With the joint accent of all the students, we left in the guide to the rooms.
I walked to the back of the line while observing the surroundings.
After about 10 minutes of walking, we passed a large archway and came to something resembling a residential hall.
We turned right and followed the path marked by the signs when I heard someone speak to me.
"Hi Adad~ how have you been, I heard you had been getting some schooling."
I turned to the person speaking and replied.
"I've been fine, my injuries healed quickly since whatever caused them wasn't strong enough to hurt me, Nickolas."
Next to me speaking sarcastically was Nickolas Haibear had a gray hair color just like his eyes and was quite handsome.
With my words, the fake smile on his mouth was erased and his eyes turned serious as he spoke.
"Adad doesn't think that by changing your appearance you will be able to change your weakness, in the end, your next woman will also abandon you".
With a smile on his face, he started walking towards his group of subordinates.
"I guess you want to check how much I've changed Nickolas, so we can meet anytime you want."
My words caused their smiles to stop abruptly.
"How about later behind the residential area, I'll be waiting so don't miss~".
I said as I reached the line.
Normally I would let it go, but it's better to settle this now and make them understand who is the strongest.
Plus I wanted to avoid another assassination attempt.
"Well guys, see you tomorrow remember to get there early."
Ryu said as we walked into our respective residences.
The boys and girls were separated and in each building, there were 40 rooms for the 3 classes consisting of 20 students each.
Of course, there were five rooms in case there were more boys or girls.
I walked up the stairs to the third floor which according to the paper I was given had my room.
I walked to the end of the hallway and opened the door marked 39.
The room appeared to be about 10x10 square meters and had a bathroom, living and dining room as well as a small room with a bed.
Next to the bed was a closet which I opened.
There were two other uniforms and white, plus two black ones.
And leaning on the floor was my Dead Rose along with a drawer with my things.
I took a bath and put some floppy clothes on my body, grabbed Dead Rose, and went out the window into the woods at the back of the dorm.
I came to a small flat and took a seat on a rock.
Now all that remained was to wait for Nickolas to arrive.
At that moment, Adad hadn't noticed.
That there was a small purple spot following him in the dark distance.
