Chereads / The Devil's Creed / Chapter 16 - A Shocking Revelation

Chapter 16 - A Shocking Revelation

With an optimistic attitude, I started walking a little bit behind the group, I surely don't want to join in their unsavory conversations.

Even with all the new resolve and stuff, I don't truly have the guts to join in their fun.

Because I honestly don't know how much of my life span and sanity it would cost even if I just listen to a few of their shaggy dog stories and dad jokes.

From a third-person perspective, this group may look all fun but I know the reality behind the facade of these guys.

The most important one in this group is Owen and everything revolves around him in this group. And the rest of the group are just bonafide 'Bootlickers'.

Take these Jokes for example, Why do you think the group prefers daddy jokes and they are the ones extensively used in this group, it's because of Owen.

Because Owen likes dad jokes.

Yes, you heard me right, this mother fucker over here has a fucked up humor sense that he can not even understand a proper joke.

If it was an actual good joke it would take him, hours to even comprehend it.

Do you know why I started getting bullied and beaten up every day?

It's actually because of this,

During the first day of junior high, someone made a joke and everyone laughed except for Owen,

Who seems to have not understood it, I saw that and took it upon myself to explain it to him in front of the class.

Which according to his lackeys made him look like a fool so those mother fuckers started bullying me.

This real reason behind how my school life turned into a real hell.

Yeah, I know it may look all absurd but that's what actually happened to me.

Now I don't really want to bring up all the past, so let's just leave them behind.

Mr.Owen here may be all handsome, rich, and stuff, but when it comes to informal conversation and humor stuff, this guy is boring as fuck that even his grandmom wouldn't listen to his jokes.

So most of the guys here run an R&D department in their houses just to come up with something to please Owen.

While we walk through the corridors of the Academy I felt something was not right but I couldn't put my finger on it.

And as I arrived at the class, I noticed something peculiar here as well and it took a few minutes to find what it was

It was the look that others were giving us, not at us to be precisely at 'me'.

Because even if this place isn't Earth I know for sure no one would look at Owen and his group with that look, so the target of their stares should be me.

But why me?

Usually before on earth, people would just ignore me or bully me because of their jealousy of my handsome face.

But now not just people in my class even the guards, maids, and other Fantasians seem to be giving me the look.

I even checked my face while we were walking but I didn't find anything unusual on my handsome face.

And for some reason, I feel like the others keep giving me the same look as the maid from yesterday.

I started wondering whether I committed some mistake that would incur this much wrath on me but nothing of that kind came to my mind.

Ignoring the stares from other people I started recalling all the questions, I wanted to ask the teacher, Miss Isabella, today.

Soon within a few minutes, the teacher entered the class, as she was passing by she looked at me and greeted me with a smile. To not be impolite I returned her smile with my own, seeing me smile she asked

" Are you alright now, Mr. Isaac?

I don't know that you were not aware of the situation and used my magic on you yesterday.

For that, I am extremely sorry. "

She immediately bowed down apologetically, I was taken back by the revelation of new information.

"Ehhh...

What do you mean by using magic on me, Miss Isabella?".

Hearing me question her apology she doubtful replied.

"This, I am talking about the situation where I used telepathy to get your attention?"

Listening to her say that suddenly lit a blub over my head

"Wait, by 'telepathy' do mean the voice that was inside my head?

So does it mean that I wasn't hallucinating"

Hearing me say that she didn't respond she just looked at me with apologetic puppy eyes and once again bowed downed before continuing her way toward the center of the class.

After seeing her reaction I only had one word on my mind "CUTE".

[Author: Hey!, you son of bitch! keep your dirty fucking hands off my girl, you bastard]

Back to the topic,

*sigh*

I sigh in relief because even though I had gotten over most of what happened in the last few days, the voice inside my head was still bothering me.

And to know that the voice belongs to an angel was really giving me a new feeling, just as I was enjoying the feeling of having butterflies flying inside my stomach.

Wait does that mean I scolded my angel, no what have I done? I need to apologize for swearing at her just as I was about to call out her name.

I suddenly felt waves of murderous intent directed toward me from all directions, which made me snap back to reality only to find everyone staring daggers at me.

Amidst those gazes, I literally felt like an abandoned sheep in the middle of the wolf pack, every one of them present here wants to butcher me in cold blood.

I wasn't even flirting, what are you guys so mad about?

Not wanting to voice up my frustration and get beaten to death, I just turned toward the center of the class not minding the murderous stares.

Unaware of all the gunpowder up in the air, Isabella started today's class with a smiling face.

" Good Morning, everyone.

Today, we are going to learn about the power levels of Fantasia and the basics of magic and mana."

As soon the class heard the word magic there was pin-drop silence in the class.

Looking at the reaction from the students, she was pleased and continued with a cheerful voice like a child boasting about her achievements to her parents

According to her, the power systems was basically divided into the 'chosen' or the ' contender'

The 'chosen' are the ones who have been selected by the Gods and can utilize the system and increase their ranks by slaying monsters or by completing missions that the gods give them to earn Exp and level up.

And the 'contenders' are the people who use their body's ability to absorb mana and form a core to increase their ranks.

And the 'contenders' can become 'chosen' if they are talented that can get the attention of the Gods.

This system seems to be the same for all other intelligent races except for monsters.

Because monsters have the ability to increase their ranks by consuming the cores prey and converting them to mana or by absorbing mana from the surrounding themselves.

This revelation caused a great commotion among the weebs because the Isekai mangas and novels mostly give everyone a player-like system.

Both the 'chosen' and the 'contenders' have their advantages but when it comes to an overall comparison the 'chosen' are stronger than the 'contenders'.

Seeing the commotion she immediately announced that otherwolders will always be chosen by the Gods and we don't have to worry.

*sigh*

As soon as I heard that I let out a deep sigh because I know about my luck.

It's always been so great to the point where even if there was just 0.1℅ possibility of something unfortunate happening it will 100 % happen.

Only after hearing her assurance did the worries that started to arise in my heart scattered away

And the excitement for the future that awaits me starting taking over its place.
