Compared to the first day of class, the next few days were rather boring. I have been continuously training with the trio, and they have all shown a lot of improvement. Well, I shouldn't be surprised since they were the main characters. My strength and agility have also increased by one grade.
My subordinate Freya was also reporting on every activity of Nyx and Silas. Nyx's attitude completely changed toward me. She started greeting me every morning, much to the surprise of everyone in class. I didn't receive any more challenges since my fight during the combat class, and even Silas wasn't paying attention to me anymore. It was as if I didn't even exist for him.
I was surprised by his attitude because it was completely different from the game. There was a good chance my involvement with the plot was the reason for his change, but I still had a little doubt. Even Freya's reports of him were strange to me. In the game, Silas always gathered troublesome students around him and formed a group to get in the way of the strongest students. But this time, after class, he was always training or staying in his room.
It seemed that something more than my involvement has changed him, but I haven't gotten the opportunity to interact with him yet, so I tasked Freya to do a thorough check on everything about him.
Today was the fourth day since class started. It was already evening, and after my training session, I was waiting for Freya inside my flat. I was satisfied with her work, so I decided to reward her a little. I brought all her favourite snacks, which were currently being displayed on my living room table.
When I heard my doorbell, I immediately went to open it. Outside, I saw Freya, who was wearing a training outfit. I thanked Sylvia for bringing her to the 25th floor, and I let the blue-haired girl inside my flat.
"Wow, your residence is really big. So where is your private gym?"
"Why do you think I called you here?"
"You said you were going to reward me for my work, so it means you can finally trust me, and now you will have a real fight against me, right?"
"Well, it's true that I was satisfied with all the reports you gave me, but it hasn't been a week yet. I need more time to be able to trust you."
"Damn, I was really prepared to have a bloody fight today. But if we aren't here to fight, why did you call me? Wait, don't tell me you are that type of person."
Freya immediately took a few steps back and tried to cover her breast with her hands.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in that."
"Oh, now it kind of hurts my feelings."
"Why don't you take a seat first? I prepared some snacks that your race usually likes."
When I pointed to the sofas in the living room, Freya's eyes immediately saw all the snacks on the table in the middle. I could see that she wasn't in control anymore as she went directly to grab a snack and ate it slowly, savouring each bite.
"I really missed that taste. I didn't know we could buy those here in the academy."
"I didn't buy those inside the academy. But I do know someone who can smuggle any type of food you want inside. It's a bit more expensive, but I'm glad you like it."
"Waidt, you dhid igt by..."
"Finish eating before talking, please. I can't understand you with your mouth full."
"Alright, I'm sorry. But you didn't invite me here just to eat, right?"
"You are right, I actually wanted to talk about Silas."
"What about him?"
"Have you noticed anything strange around him?"
"Hmm, not really. I have told you everything in my reports, and there was nothing strange. Except for the fact that he hasn't met his brother yet since he came to the academy, but I can understand him since I'm not on good terms with my siblings either."
"What did you just say?"
"I'm not on good terms with my siblings."
"No, before that, about Silas brother."
"Oh yeah, Silas hasn't met his brother yet, and he didn't like it when Nyx talked about him either."
"Wait, what do you mean Silas hasn't met his brother? Didn't his brother get injured more than a year ago and was forced to leave the academy?"
"What? I don't know about that, but his brother is currently still attending school as a third-year student."
I was completely confused about this new information. There was something that was completely different from the game, and it even happened before I was thrown into this world.
"Alright, you should leave now. You can take all the snacks if you want to. And I want you to gather information about Silas brother as soon as possible."
After Freya left with all the snacks, I sat back on the sofa and started making sense of this new development. First, I had to recall everything I knew about Silas brother in the game.
Samuel Avongus was the first prince of the human royal family. Because of his huge talent and potential, he was able to gain numerous supporters even before starting the academy. Everyone was convinced that he would be the future king of the human kingdom. Unfortunately, during the final exams of his first-year second semester, an incident happened that crippled him for the rest of his life. The king tried everything to cure him, but in vain.
Since then, Samuel has lost all his support, and everyone has turned their attention to the second prince, Silas. Unfortunately, Sila's talent and potential weren't as great as Samuel's. He spent a whole year being compared to his brother before entering the academy.
I could now clearly understand why Silas hasn't formed a group this time. Since no one compared him to his brother, he didn't need any subordinates who reminded him every time how great he was.
But the real problem was, why did things change? Was there another transmigrator like me? Or was this a parallel world to the game I knew with minimum changes? Unfortunately, I don't have enough information to make an accurate guess yet. The only lead I had right now was Samuel Avongus. But from now on, I had to be cautious. I didn't know yet what other changes there were in this world compared to the game.
My hands started trembling. But I wasn't scared of this new development. Instead, I was getting excited for the unknown. It's been a long time since I was completely clueless about something.
'Finally, an interesting twist has come.'

Around noon the next day, I received Freya's report. I had to admit that she definitely works hard. I immediately went to the bathroom, where I could be alone, before opening her message on my smart watch.
—————————————————
[Freya] :
Samuel Avongus (First prince of the human race)
Age: 18
Class: Third-year Elite class
Rank: 1st
Job: Assassin (his main weapons are daggers)
Club: Student Council (Vice President)
He never attends any class, and he is always seen spending his time with a different girl every day. Every member of the student council hates him. I also heard that there was a big incident between him and your sister, Cathy Fawn, last year, but I couldn't find any details about it.

'Interesting.'
After thanking Freya for her report, I decided to send a message to my sister, inviting her to dinner tonight, and I was surprised to receive a confirmation instantly.
'Time to use my brotherly charms.'
