"MMmhhh."
'Waking up in the morning without disturbance is really nice.'
I thought of that as I turned my head and looked at the bed beside me.
It looks like he is working hard again. I don't know why, though.
"Anyway, it's been a week since then, and the results will be posted."
'At last, I'll get my reward.'
After the exam, classes continued, and because of that, we had no time to actually enjoy the end of the exam.
Well, other than the time that we had one in which everyone enjoyed their fill. However, I wasn't enjoying it much since they kept glaring at me and talking badly altogether.
But since I got to listen to Ms. Ria's introduction to the manuals she is letting me choose, I can't use my earplugs.
And after listening to it, I couldn't really choose, so she gave me a week to figure it out and told me where to find her if I did.
So after barely making a choice after reading some histories about those manuals, I made up my mind to choose that one.
So as I got up to clean myself, I then changed my attire afterward. And left to where Ms. Ria was.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Ooh, so she's the saintess, huh?"
"Yeah, she's so cute."
"I know she and Lady Alissa are sisters, but she's so adorable."
"Yeah, she is only like that because of the mysterious poison."
"But still, ignoring her size, she is quite well endowed."
"Haa, as expected of boys."
"Yeah, perverted bastards"
"Speaking of perverts, did that guy really beat Richard?"
"Yeah, apparently he was cheating, but the referee made him win."
"This school is going to lose its reputation at this point."
"You're right; how can they prioritize that guy over a chosen being?"
"True, it is really weird."
I heard a flood of comments rain down from their mouths as soon as I left the dorm.
Apparently there is a transferee at the academy, and it was Ms. Alissa's sister.
And what followed were hateful comments about me. 'The heck? It hurts. Let's get out of here quickly.'
Moving along, I arrived at the back of the colosseum. Which apparently is a good place to train when wanting to be close to nature. And I'm not gonna lie, this place is quite nice.
And after looking around, I saw BK. Well, it's not him I was looking for, though. After looking around again, I saw Ms. Ria standing straight before a huge rock.
As I got closer, I tried to get her attention but stopped since I noticed her full concentration.
Waiting for a bit won't be so bad. Since I woke up this early, I can wait a little bit before class starts.
Observing her, I felt a strong surge of energy from her, and it made me notice that there were many things I needed to learn.
Now I'm regretting not asking for her guidance, still I need to do this to avoid suspicion.
Then all of a sudden I saw her move, which made my eyes glued to her movement, in which I also use Mind Acceleration.
Shing!
bak
The huge stone was then finely cut into two.
"Huuu."
Shing pak
She then returned her sword to her waist as she exhaled.
"That was amazing, Ms. Ria!" I said, genuinely amazed.
"Oh, it's you, Anglos. Have you finally made up your mind?"
"Yeah, I guess Star Impact is what best suits me."
"So you want to be a heavy weapon wielder, huh?"
"Yeah, that's the plan."
"Alright, then, follow me."
As the title says, it is a technique that provides the user with a strong impact that can rival a star. Which is how it is supposed to be. and now they just see it as a heavy-hitter attack.
She made me choose among the Five Manuals, and they were all great and famous. but I still chose this.
For three reasons. One, It is used by many heavy weapon users, famous or not. Second, my Chainsaw Sword is more of a heavy weapon. And the third is usability, which can be applied to any weapon.
And although the other four are quite amazing, there are some limits that are easy to notice.
So without any choice, I chose this.
"Do you really not want to choose the Lightning Blade? And this is what she would always recommend to me."
"No, I'm not going to change my mind."
'Well, not gonna lie, it actually suits me in more ways than one. And she recommended this because it is also her specialty.'
'And I would definitely have chosen it in a heartbeat if not for my classmates' glare.'
'Still, it gave me a chance to reflect, so I guess I am thankful for them.'
"Fine, then let's find it. She said so as she rummaged through her bag."
And a full 10 minutes had passed. She finally found it.
"I found it. This is a group excavation I once did with a bunch of friends."
She said it with a hint of nostalgia.
"Well, since there are a lot of copies of this, I just left it to dust in my bag. So yeah, I guess another man's trash is another man's treasure. If you were not asking, I wouldn't have remembered it."
She said she passed it on to me.
"So you don't really need any of my guidance?"
"Yeah, I can do it, no worries I will also definitely ask if I get stuck on something."
"Okay then."
I then left the place and headed directly to class. As much as I would like to train it now, I need to go to class today.
~~~~~~~~
"Today the scores shall be revealed at midday. I hope you are ready to accept those scores, for they are what your hard work shows."
She said this as she looked around us and continued.
"Well, for those who know they got a high score, good for you, I hope that you could improve further. But as for those who know they score low, well, please work extra hard. Class dismissed."
As she announced that, the ring chimed.
Tiririring, tiririring.
We then continued to our next class. Afterward, it was finally midday. the posting of sore for us freshmen.
There were a lot of students trying to take a peek at the poster, but since I can't just barge in there, I would just wait until after all of the students are low in number, which is near evening.
So I continued to listen to lectures for the day.
And after a long wait, I came back and saw my scores, and I passed. Seeing this, I thought of celebrating it with my employees.
As I was about to leave, I bumped into someone.
"Ah!"
"Oh! Sorry, are you alright?"
Yeah, I guess?
She is the definition of what you call a short stack. A girl with big assets (b**bs) and a small body. And strangely enough, I feel a connection to her.
Not in a strange way or in any of that sense. Because this happened before when someone consumed my potion.
Well I wouldn't have known if that guy didn't tell me about it.
It happened when I was out to buy and sell stuff on the black market. I was done with a transaction when a guy bumped into me. He had a menacing look.
At first, I thought he was going to punch but instead invited me to a club.
I was shock. We bonded together and told me about how felt when he saw me.
I thought he was gay. But apparently, he had a wife and kids, so he just thought I was like a brother to him.
And then I also started to understand where he was coming from. He recently consumed a potion that saved his life, which was what I made.
And the feeling I got from him was most likely connected through blood. We bonded from time to time, and gradually the feeling left. Still, we stayed friends, which is weird considering my age, but I guess he thought I was a dwarf or something; I don't know.
So the feeling I felt for this girl right now meant she drank my potion. Based on the commotion I heard earlier, I guess she is Ms. Alissa's sister, the Saint Lady Alicia.
"Here, let me help you."
I extended my arm to help her up. She also complied as she gave her hand to me.
I then helped her get up.
"I'm so sorry about that. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I am. she said as she stared right at me. I guess she is also feeling the effects of the potion, huh?"
"Good then; I've got to get going now. And again, I am really sorry."
I said that as I left. 'Yeah, it's better to have less interaction with her for now until the effect of the potion subsides. After all, the same happened to the guy I met. And this also meant that the potion was still in effect.'
