The darkness has shrouded the school; the moon and stars were invisible. Soon it started pouring.
'POTSU-POTSU' 'Drip'
The intensity was slow, but suddenly it became faster.
'ZAH-ZAH'
A light suddenly flashed in the sky as if someone had clicked a picture.
'CRACKK'
A loud sound appeared that shook everyone in fear, like the world was split in two.
The raindrops hit the window, trying to break it apart, but the window was strong enough not to break.
Through the window, a light source could be seen. It was a lamp placed on the desk.
A boy could be seen reading a book. He was reading everything and focusing on the book.
"Oh, so it's like that. The ability used by that girl on me is called 'Petrify.' It's a racial ability of the Gorgon race."
"So the girls I have seen with snakes in their hair are called Gorgon."
He learned many things about them as he turned in some more chapters. They were a race where females were the leaders and males followed them.
They had a good fertility rate, due to which it was not hard to see them. This was all that was written; it didn't talk much about their other abilities.
However, he found something more interesting. This made him proud to share the Duskcrowned name for the first time.
He burst out laughing. There was a fight between the Duskcrowned and Coiledviper families.
Fallen Angels have fought with them in the past. Only five top fallen angels were enough to defeat a hundred of them. At that time, Duskcrowned was ready to chase them away from the Rayless Dynasty, but at the last moment, the Royal Family interfered.
He learned about other families; the next was called Blazeheart. It was made up of the Ifrit race; they were called perfect demons due to having all the abilities of a typical demon.
They were humanoid demons with black-colored horns folding backward. They had a large population, like Dark Elves.
They were the best in the Rayless Dynasty when it came to using weapons. They were also good at all kinds of magic, which gave them an extensive variety.
"So my swordsmanship class teacher also belongs to the Blazeheart family; no wonder he is so strong. It looks like each family has its own advantages, which puts them above the rest."
As he turned more pages, he discovered another family; they were different from other demons.
They had crimson eyes, large canines, and pale skin. This family was called the Bloodfang family.
This race was unique; they could become stronger by consuming blood and flesh. They were cruel and bloodthirsty when not under control.
Besides their appearance, they were famous for their unique ability to use blood magic and were also said to be the fastest race.
Unlike what one might expect, they were a well-respected family; they were the richest of all families and were good at trade and administration.
"I have seen one; wasn't the teacher that took my Prana test similar to the description? Royal School is filled with them; I need to be careful."
"So they are called Velrath."
The next family he learned about was the Ironhorn family, the Muscular humanoid race.
It was easy to identify them due to their dark skin, white horns, and muscular bodies. Some of them were born with four hands.
This race had a low birth rate, but each one of them was a strong fighter. It was a top-ranked species.
Amon had seen some from this family; each was badass. They were fearless and fearsome individuals.
"Their race is called Oni Demons." This was known to him. He didn't know their race.
This race was gifted in Prana Magic and poor in the other two types. However, they were the strongest fighters; each one of them could fight multiple opponents.
"If only they were a little smarter, they could have ruled the kingdom," said Amon as he shook his head.
Next was the Duskcrowned family; he already knew about it but still read it, trying to know more about them.
A family established by fallen angels, this race has the oldest history. No one knows when and where they originated.
This family has the best wings that allow them to fly rapidly and are also strong enough to block many attacks.
Their second specialty was being masters of elemental and spirit magic; no one came close to them when it came to using spells.
Adding both, they were a force to be reckoned with.
Surprisingly, their ability to use weapons and their physical strength was also high.
For them, not much was written about them; the author had said that they are scarce and are only found in Duskcrowned City.
After finishing this book, Amon looked outside, yawned, and decided to sleep. His eyes were struggling to open.
The night passed by, and when he opened his eyes the next day and looked at the time, he was already late.
He entered the class and started breathing. Rydan looked at him and said, "You are late again."
Amon sat on his seat and started talking with him. It was then that the witch entered the cabin.
She had a smile on her face. She had entered the class with a big yellow folder.
"Students, Today I will distribute your answer sheets."
The calves became silent, and the faces of many of them fell. They have not performed well in the exam.
"The highest score is 28, while the lowest is -10," she announced, making many students nervous again.
Many students wanted to hide in a corner because no one had expected her to announce the names and marks of everyone and call them in front of the class to collect their answer sheets.
She didn't stop there; she even scolded everyone. No matter how many marks one had scored, for her, everyone should have scored full marks.
From how Amon looked at this situation, he felt like she enjoyed shouting at the students and humiliating them.
When it was time for Rydan, she humiliated him. "Next is someone who thinks he is very smart; this guy didn't attempt any questions."
Rydan stood before her fearlessly; he just looked around, ignoring her presence.
This irritated the teacher; she said, "Sorry students."
Many students could not believe why this witch would apologize out of nowhere.
They soon got their answer. "I forgot to mention one rule: anyone who doesn't attempt any question will get -5 marks."
She took out her pen and made changes before everyone. Everyone was silent, feeling bad for the boy. However, to everyone's surprise, the boy didn't even react; he took his sheet and left as if nothing had happened.
