Chapter 71 - Unlocking Latent Power

It was a normal day in the Elysium Academy, students were going about their day, attending classes , dueling with other students to prove their worth, or impress someone. Nobles considered Elysium Academy as just one another milestone in their path, already having a set future under their big families. But for commoners, Elysium Academy was the only way they could have any chance of rising from a mere commoner to gaining a noble rank, to bring out their family from poverty and getting married into a rich household. They had no aspiration but to gain a spot in one of the big families. One such guy was Derik, Being from a small village in the eastern part of the Empire, he donned green hair and had an accent original to the east empire. There was nothing special about him. He was neither adept at combats or smart enough to be a scholar. Being admitted through the Commoners quota, all he wanted was to marry a noble girl and live his life peacefully.
