It had been almost thirty minutes since this whole introduction thing started, I wish It would have went in by a flash when I read it since it only took me a minute and mobs were skipped, while I looked at everyone I observed they all had a consensus rank.
'Rank E- to F, at least no one is Rank F-, aside from that I'm the only A Rank overall in this class, while everyone was busy with their childhood I began preparing, I mean I already experienced being a kid once but surviving is more important.'
"I'm Arthur Syfiel! I'll be the one who brings down the sword of truth and justice!"
I flinched after hearing Arthur say those lines, he looked at each and every race with a smile, I didn't think of anything when I read it but hearing it live makes me shiver as it was kind of embarrassing if I was the one who said it.
The man has a system, the man has potential but the man is dumb who got lucky, I looked at him and wondered when would I see the mature version of Arthur who was more amicable, more sensible and less dumb.
He then looked at me somehow, I knew his system rang but I wondered if it could sense other systems especially mine.
[ To reply to the host's query! ]
'Oh'
[ This system is much better than that trash! ]
'Really now, it's a good thing then, I hope you ensure my survival.'
I smiled, I mean I could have been this thing's slave but it refused to give penalties rather it gave me branching quests which I could go on, well enough of that I think Arthur noticed I didn't even bother with him looking at me until I started to get annoyed.
"Are you into me? I have to say I'm sorry I don't swing that way but Tywin here may have a thing for you."
I heard the class laugh since they all noticed it, I mean why are you staying at me unless this guy has a quest concerning me? I didn't mean to provoke him but I didn't like it.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to fight you"
At this point I'm now wondering if he was given a quest by his system, if there was I wonder how it was related to me.
"Pass, can we go on to the next person? I think he is getting out of hand."
"Wait!"
"Professor Aria."
"Let me fight you just once! I'll bet on something!"
Professor Aria who was about to speak suddenly stopped, it wasn't uncommon for students to duel and it wasn't uncommon for them to fight either as long as it was settled in the arena.
"You don't have anything that would interest me."
"Right! But If I lose I'll be your follower!"
It was intriguing to say, if he was my follower I'd unlimited access to his opportunities but then again I'd have to shield him from his troubles in return.
"You're not a woman."
I had to say no, I can still steal his opportunities while avoiding the trouble's he's gonna cause.
"Stop! If Student Claude says no it's a no, now speaking of Claude, I guess it's right to say it's your turn."
I nodded after Professor Aria noticed that I wouldn't budge, as soon as I stood up and walked towards the stage.
"I'm sorry."
Arthur immediately grabbed his sword from his system and slashed it on me.
"I must say this must be grounds for expulsion."
I covered my whole arm with lightning as I stopped it with only my Index finger. Arthur immediately backed down and had a posture that looked ready to counter attack, I then looked at Professor Aria who looked ready to interfere.
"Whatever I do next is considered self defense right?"
Professor Aria doesn't know how strong I am, although I know she has an estimate of it but I'm sure the others don't, well so much for being lowkey.
"Yes."
I just nodded and tapped my foot, it was only a fraction of a second and everyone was shocked that Arthur was immediately frozen in place, he was trapped in Ice, I tapped the block of ice, and I could see his eyes moving, I wonder how cold it is since I put everything in that.
[ Ding! ]
[ The laws of this world has acknowledged your presence! ]
I looked at the prompt in front of me, I released Arthur as soon as I did, not because I was afraid but because the thing in front of me is more interesting I wonder what it meant that I was finally acknowledged.
Thinking about it gives me headaches but I don't care since I don't know what it means for now, I then finally arrived at the stage and looked at everyone.
"Claude Rayne."
I bowed, smiled and went back to my seat, I think they already have an idea who the strongest person in the class is so I didn't need to gloat in front of them and remind them with this I've secured an identity of a person not to be pissed off.

'System, what will my penalty be?'
Arthur who was given a mission to challenge and hit Claude with 3 hits asked his system, he felt down as this was the first time he had failed a mission and he didn't know what his penalty would be.
[ A Random stat will be reduced by 1 Grade! ]
Arthur clicked his tongue as increasing the grade of a rank can be arduous, he had received the system just a few months before and he knew its powers, suddenly he felt his stamina being drained and he became tired all of a sudden.
"It's okay man, you fought against a monster."
Vince, who was supposed to be his original rival sympathized with the boy beside him, he didn't know why but he felt Arthur was a kindred spirit.
"You sound like you've fought him before."
Vince flinched as he remembered everything, but he shook his head, if anything right now he wanted a friend, a friend who can sympathize with his current fear and feelings, he patted Arthur's back.
"I haven't and don't plan to, if anything I advise you stay out of the elves way"
"Why?"
"Just don't mess with them or bully them or do anything bad to them, unless you want Claude to find you."
"Did he hurt you?"
"No he just talked to me."
Vince although wanted to warn him but he also wanted to see how this guy would react.
"Anyway, do you know why that Human girl is sitting there with the elves?"
"I don't know probably because there are no seats left."
As the two were discussing, Diene was called next up to the front, both of them couldn't take their eyes off her as she was beautiful, they all listened what she had to say, she gave off a calming aura to them.
"My Name is Diene Rayne, pleased to meet all of you."
Diene bowed politely and gave them a smile, everyone's hearts melted including the females as she looked innocent as if the world didn't taint her.
"Rayne? I thought you were Trifon?"
"I wish to change it to Rayne."
"May I know why?"
"Because I'll be married to Claude soon."
Everyone eyes suddenly popped at the news, It wasn't uncommon of hearing interracial marriages but to announce it to everyone so boldly, as of this time Diene sat back and gave a smug smile to Aerin.
For Aerin she couldn't do anything, yet, yes she couldn't do anything now, she had to wait for her father's news, for Mistoria however.
"No! I'll be the one!"
The shy Mistoria immediately spoke but she soon was embarrassed and sat back down.
"I wish my harem was the same as yours."
"You wish Tywin, You wish."
