"But I'm already your student"
"Personal Student"Miss Jade said knocking him in the head.She felt as if she was being toyed with by Arthur.
To others this opportunity was one they would never try to turn down or even think about it but for someone like Arthur who had lived his life through torment and had no trust for humanity he was quite different.
"What's in it for you?"Miss Jade raised an eyebrow seemingly shocked at Arthur's question"This kid might be what I'm looking for after all"She said internally.
"When the time comes you'll know Arthur".
Arthur didn't end there and stepped forward.
"What's in it for me?"He said with a nonchalant expression on his face.He wanted to know all the benefits he could get before accepting this too good to be true offer,after all who wouldn't like to be trained under a beautiful mentor.
"I can teach you how to fight and make you stronger"Miss Jade placed her right hand on her hips and with an emotionless expression said."Alright Miss Jade I'll be honoured to be your student"
"Now that that's over"Miss Jade began cracking her fists whiles revealing a smirk
"Uh-uh Miss Jade...wha-"
"Thought I would do nothing to you for touching my boobs huh!"
"Wa-but I'm your stu-Arhhh!!"Miss Jade threw out a fist sending Arthur flying out of her office and getting smashed into the hallway's walls.Although she regulated the strength behind it so as to prevent him from suffering severe injury Arthur still felt such power.
"What the-"
"Hey do you need some hel-"
"Arhh it's the trash boy...I just touched trash"
The female students who happened to be passing by saw just how much Arthur smashed into the wall and decided to go help the student but upon reaching they saw that it was none other than the trash boy hence her reaction.
-----------------
"I might as hell check out the rewards now that I'm going home...I wonder how those two will react to my suspension"Arthur voiced out as he walked home,rubbing his hand over his left cheek where he got punched
"I knew she was powerful but this much".
If someone was to tell him Miss Jade held back he would have probably coughed up blood by now.

"Was it because I had no skill"Arthur's thought was spot on.Since he possessed no skill the skill tab was greyed out for him.To confirm this he tried seeing if the ability tab was greyed out but since he had an ability it wasn't greyed out.
"Let me see what the punishment could have been"
[Punishment]
«Death
"Isn't that a bit too much for a first quest you ungrateful system"Arthur blew in a fit of rage.He could have easily died if he hadn't fought back
[I don't need a wimp as a host]
"What do you mean by wim-wait did the system just talk back"To his disappointment though the system never replied back after Arthur tried to initiate a conversation leaving him to just focuse on his other quest.

"Maybe with this system I can finally do something about my ability"saying this reminded him of his ability core and he couldn't help but wonder.

"Wait...Blood manipulation,but I thought all I could do was stop the flow of blood but now I can manipulate the blood flowing through anyone" he didn't know how this came to be but he was nonetheless very glad he had such ability although for him to fully manipulate blood he woukd have to channel his ability and break through to the next rank.
Breakingthrough to the next rank wasn't a simple task at all.One had to fully understand his ability to channel it properly into breaking through all the time.Due to this most people at the Ascended rank are regarded as very powerful.To Cultivate to that extent requires a lot of years.
He was quite surprised when he found out Miss Jade was a Nascent ranked awakened which was very impressive considering she was in her early twenties and Nascent rank was the third strongest rank to achieve just below Hybrid and Celestial.Most people don't even achieve that rank and they die.
Although as one progressed,his life span would increase.If a normal human had to die at the age of 70,with an ability and being able to channel his ability he would be able to increase his vitality up to hundreds of years.
In all honesty he felt extremely glad,the ability which turned out to be one of the trashiest ability out there was actually a blessing in disguise.This ability gave him total control over blood and what made him really excited was the fact that being able to have a manipulation ability gave you utmost power over that ability.
Imagine someone with an ice ability but can only form ice spikes but someone with ice manipulation could control ice to his will and do anything with it.Manipulation abilities were not limited although you will have to raise your ranks to fully feel it's power.
Now that he was clear on everything he decided to take a look at his attributes and apply some changes.Just as he opened up the system he saw a new message
[Host has leveled up]
[+1 to all attributes]
"Right.I needed 50 exp to level up"
"Alright 5 points to allocate so 2 to strength and another 2 to perception"Arthur didn't know where to place the last point.At the end he chose speed.

"When did bravery shoot up to 10"
After analysing everything he did today he knew the bravery attribute was a natural one which would increase even without the points so as long as he didn't cower in fear when faced with danger.
[I see the intelligent points are not being put to waste after all]
"Stupid system".
