*Lesson Two*
A petite female teacher with a sweet voice entered the classroom.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
A fireball emerged from the teacher's hand and was thrown towards the ceiling, startling the students.
The fireball hit the wall, creating a crack.
"I just want all of you to be quiet; the lesson is about to begin."
A woman entered the room; it was Misaki Mei.
"Teacher, I'm sorry I'm late. I didn't mean to be."
The students whispered and gossiped about Misaki Mei.
"Hey, isn't that Misaki Mei? She looks like trash."
"I heard her family died because of her. Such a disgrace."
"I heard Misaki Mei is promiscuous. She even raped Andrew during middle school."
Suddenly, Misaki Mei started crying and left the classroom, tears streaming down her face.
Aruha Tenjou asked for permission from the teacher and followed Misaki Mei, who was running away in tears.
*In the schoolyard*
Misaki Mei sat on a bench in the schoolyard, crying.
"Why, sniff, why? Why? Why? Why? Why doesn't anyone care about me, sniff?"
Aruha Tenjou approached Misaki Mei and gently stroked her hair.
"That's just how fate works. The strong prevail, and the weak are eliminated."
"I'll always be by your side. I'll keep encouraging you; don't give up."
Misaki Mei held a knife and aimed it at her own neck.
"I deserve to die. I'm a murderer, and I'm sinful. I don't deserve to live."
Aruha Tenjou hugged Misaki Mei and stroked her back.
"Are you going to give up like this? Then why did you kill your parents?"
Misaki Mei dropped the knife and wiped her tears.
"My parents... they tortured me. They said they would sacrifice me to get 70 billion yen."
Aruha Tenjou stopped stroking Misaki Mei and stepped back a bit.
"That's the law of the jungle, eat or be eaten, kill or be killed. You're not wrong; it's self-defense."
Misaki Mei stood up, smiling, her hands clenched.
"I'll become stronger and protect you, Lord Aruha Tenjou."
Aruha Tenjou pinched Misaki Mei's cheek.
"By the way, what role did you choose?"
Misaki Mei walked away and tossed a ring.
"I choose the role of a spy."
"And that ring is for you."
Aruha Tenjou returned to class to continue the lesson.
The teacher approached Aruha Tenjou and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Where's Misaki Mei? Wasn't she with you earlier?"
Aruha Tenjou shrugged off the teacher's hand.
"Misaki Mei went home. She was crying, but she'll become stronger."
People in the class whispered to each other.
"So Misaki Mei wants to become strong? Wasn't she an orphan with a cruel past?"
"Can a weakling like her become strong? That's nonsense."
"I hope Misaki Mei dies during training, hahaha."
The teacher clenched his fist and told all the students to stop talking.
"Everyone, quiet down. I want to teach you all how to train according to your roles."
"Come on, follow me to the training ground in the school."
*At the school's training ground*
The teacher pointed at Aruha Tenjou and George.
"You two, you'll be the first to train."
"The rule is simple: once your opponent is defeated, don't attack again."
Aruha Tenjou thought for a moment, and an idea came to his mind.
``Aruha Thought: I'll defeat him until I break this training ground's wall.``
``Aruha Thought: Maybe I'll hold back a bit so I can lose. Then, when I'm mocked for losing, I'll decide to be alone and leave school.``
The teacher told all the students to step back and move away.
"Are you two ready? Begin!"
George drew his sword and channeled his mana, causing the sword to emit ice.
"You want to fight me barehanded? A weakling like you will lose in my hands."
George teleported behind Aruha Tenjou in a second and swung his sword.
"Defeat is-"
Aruha Tenjou aimed his punch at George's sword.
George's sword broke, and he was thrown far, crashing into the training ground's wall.
Aruha Tenjou held his hand.
"What's going on? How can my strength be this powerful? I was just training to build muscle mass."
All the students were shocked and ran to George.
The teacher instructed some students to take George to the infirmary for treatment.
The teacher then raised a yellow flag and continued the training.
"The next match is Hina Itsuki versus Hakurou."
``Aruha Thought: So they both fight with swords? I'll watch their fight.``
The teacher told all the students to step back and blew the whistle.
"The match begins!"
Hakurou ran at 70 mph towards Hina Itsuki and swung his sword from bottom to top.
Hina Itsuki blocked the attack and then kicked Hakurou in the groin.
Hakurou felt pain and held his groin with his hand. Then, he stabbed his sword into the ground and channeled mana into it.
"Earth Trap Skill."
Hundreds of tentacles emerged from the ground and bound Hina Itsuki, causing her sword to fall.
Hakurou approached and arrogantly laughed in front of Hina Itsuki.
"A loner like you thought you could defeat me."
Aruha Tenjou covered his mouth with his hand and laughed inwardly.
``Aruha Thought: Hakurou, you think you've won already. But Hina Itsuki is secretly launching an attack from the lack of oxygen.``
``Aruha Thought: Hina Itsuki has the ability to suffocate. A power that can make an area invisible where the user can reduce the opponent's movement speed by 60% and reduce oxygen by 4% for 6 seconds.``
Suddenly, Aruha Tenjou felt a dark aura directed towards Hakurou.
"What is this? I sense a bad omen and this dark aura. Is it a demon's scent?"
