Morning came.
My room's window is wide open. The verdant grass area outside and the wooden dormitories created a natural environment devoid of electronics. The sun is barely rising, and the cool breeze coming in through the window made me shudder.
I was awakened by the lovely chirping of birds. And the obnoxious buzzing of mosquitoes.
"Ah f*ck. I should've shut the window last night." I slapped my cheek, killing the filthy creature sucking my blood. A slew of little lumps emerged all over my body. My body was itchy from head to toe.
"Just how much did they suck me?"
[Enough for one bag of blood donation.]
'That's eerie. What's more disturbing is how I slept like a dead log as these 1-inch-long mosquitoes feasted on me.'
Did my first world have such a large mosquito? No, I don't believe so.
I went to the bathroom hall with my spare set of clothes. The bathroom hall was so luxurious that if they had just 1% of the budget for dorms, each room would have been far superior to a hotel room. If we weren't forbidden from leaving our rooms between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., I wouldn't mind staying here as long as I had a mattress, blanket, and pillow.
After putting my slightly bloodied clothes in the washing machine, I went to one of the bathrooms. I pressed one of the numerous buttons, and hot water poured down on me. I examined the system logs.
First I checked the green system, last night's encounter gave me a new ability.
-----------[ Green System - Free Style Path ]-----------
Resilient Aura: Increase defense by 25% for both you and your selected ally for 20 seconds. Cooldown: 90 seconds.

I checked the red system,

The same moment—it was another calm day. Birds chirped in the trees. Damian, the one who ranked first in the physical test, was walking through the gorgeous green field on his way to the bathroom hall to wash up. As Damian strolled through the serene green field, basking in the tranquility of the morning, he never anticipated the disruption that was about to shatter the peace.
Suddenly, a thunderous yell pierced the air, reverberating through the bathroom hall with such force that it seemed to shake the very foundations of the building. Damian's heart skipped a beat as he recoiled in shock at the unexpected outburst.
"WHAT THE F*CK!!! That's F*CKING EMBARRASSING!" The words echoed loudly, drawing the attention of everyone in the vicinity. Damian scanned the area, trying to pinpoint the source of the commotion.
"Who the hell was that?" he wondered, his mind racing with thoughts of the powerful senior responsible for the deafening scream. "Such a goliath scream. He must be an extremely powerful senior. I should be more cautious in the future," Damian mused, realizing the need to tread carefully in this unfamiliar environment.
•••
"I don't need it. Take it back." I told the system.
[Title cannot be retracted.]
"THEN DELETE IT OR SOMETHING."
[Unbelievable Achievement]
[Your shout made 142 people recoil, 13 individuals feel fear, and 1 individual faint.]
[Title Unlocked]
[The human screamer that puts even giants roaring into shame]
"Oh my god, do you only know how to joke around? At first, I thought the titles were real. Who knew you were joking?"
Who knew even the system would be joking? But suddenly, my watch began to vibrate violently. A holographic screen appeared.
{ Rank: 2897. Karadama Drogo. You have been deducted 10 phoenix points for abruptly shouting in the bathroom, causing disruption, and making Rank: 142 faint. More disturbance will result in a higher point decrease.}
What the hell? Was the system serious? I glanced fast into the soul essence of my procession. I used to have two. There is now only one. The range of my soul sense was 1 meter. It has now decreased to less than half a meter.
I must have unintentionally used one in my earlier yell. What a shambles. I need to keep my emotions in check.

There really is this shameless title appearing in the status. And I lost 10 phoenix points from 95, making it 85. But the academy gives 2 points daily, so now I have 87.
' Do I still have the same daily training mission from yesterday?'
[Yes.]

The difficulty of Easy and Normal rose by 20% because I had already completed them once.
Today is my first day of class. And it will begin at 10 a.m. I've got more than four hours. So I dashed to the training hall to do my training as well as the medium-difficulty daily task, which is an extended version of saitama training. But I don't think I am anywhere near ready for the hard difficulty. I took another shower after completing the Easy and Normal difficulty. I also got 3 more Low Rank Attributes increase card.
I stood in front of the B-1 classroom.
"I'm hoping everything goes well."
