Raizel(pov)
Raizel quickly left the cafeteria, since he already got the unnecessary attention, he didn't wanted. His foot steps come to an halt as he looks at front saw door in front of him.
He opened the door and saw a dojo like room which was a little bit crowded of sleeper and in the middle of the room was an instructor was standing. Raizel then enter the room as he closed the door, he then quietly moves towards the conner and leaned on the wall, while looking at the Instructor Rock who is busy explaining about combat class and it's uses.
After Instructor Rock explanation he told all the sleepers to make a line and in front of a punching machine.
The sleepers were quit exited to check their strength in the punching machine, most of them were getting numbers between ten to fourteen, there were also some who got fifteen and sixteen.
He then noticed that it was now Nephis turn.
She approach the machine, she took a boxing stand and delivered a crushing blow to the machine. After a short pause, the machine displayed the result:
Sixteen.
'She is holding back' thought Raizel as he looked at her result with any change in expression, only some smart sleeper and children of the legacy clan were the one's who were holding back, since they don't want government agents or any sleeper to find out their true strength.
Now it is Caster turned, he slowly walked towards the machine, his posture is straight taking a punching stand, he delivered a fastest punch which couldn't even be seen at Naked eyes, but for Raizel it was slow.
The machine trembled and took more time calculating, finally, two numbers appeared.
Twenty-one.
Everyone gaped at the display, too stunned to speak. More than a few admiring looks were thrown at caster, who simply bowed and took a step back.
Instructor Rock smiled at the display of numbers.
Now it was Raizel turned as all eyes were on him, not a least bit nervous at the stares that were thrown at him, he walked towards the machine.
'Hmm, should i hold back ?' thought Raizel, since he didn't want to get more attention on him then it was already necessary.
So with these thoughts he punch the machine, he didn't even took a stand and the punch he delivered was the fasted punch to the point that even the Instructor Rock was not able to see, the machine got pushed back a little making everyone in the room shocked, the machine trembled for 10 minutes, before it's showed a two digit number.
Thirty-five
Everyone was shocked at the number, they couldn't believe it some even rub their eyes as they looked at Raizel with awe, fear and respect, Raizel didn't really cared about the looks that were thrown at him, he simply walked towards the corner of the dojo and leaned against the wall.
'So much for holding back.' thought Raizel as he shook his head in disappointment, he then closed his eyes.
Instructor rock came out of his shocked state as he looked at Raizel with a smile.
"That was good display of power sleeper Raizel, now we will move to sparring, I need two volunteers to begin.
Raizel opened his eyes as he sensed something, he glance at the right conner of the room, their he saw a shadow silently standing their, unnoticed by everyone in the dojo.
'Their you are Slave.' thought Raizel, he already know who this shadow belong too, then his gaze shifted towards the ring where he saw, Nephis and a tall, dark skinned man with a muscle build they both were standing opposite to each other.
Seeing that both the fighter were ready, Instructor Rock spoke.
"The rules are simple. Make your opponent back touch the floor or throw them out of the ring. Use whatever ability and techniques you find appropriate."
He stepped out of the ring, giving them the space.
The tall guy attacks without wasting any time. He advanced like an unstoppable Mountain, sending a flying kick.
....a second later, he was lying on the floor with a dumbstruck look on his face.
Seeing this the instructor just grinned and said.
"Next"
Raizel didn't even look as he already knew what would happen and just like he thought every sleeper who challenged her was defeated in less than a second.
After defeating every sleeper on the dojo expect for three.
Suddenly Caster walked towards the ring as he faced Nephis with a small smile.
"Lady Nephis, please excuse me in advance"
After saying that he disappeared and appeared in front of Nephis with a powerful punch.
Just like he read in the book, Caster trip and pushed Nephis, sending her flying to the ground.
Nephis just blinked a couple of times and looked at caster. This whole fight didn't even last for more than two seconds.
Instructor rock grunted and gave caster a nod.
Everyone thinks that Caster won the match, but only four people know that it is not the case because all this time Nephis didn't even use her aspect.
Raizel gaze shifted towards the shadow, he saw that the shadow slowly leaving the dojo.
After the introductory combat class was over.
All the sleepers headed for the showers. After the sour beating expect for Raizel as he didn't participate in the fight.

Unknown(pov)
Inside the boys looker room.
A young man was surrounded by many boys as they were congratulating him on his victory, full of adoration and excitement. However, the young was in a bad mood. His expression was somber, and there was grim heaviness in his eyes.
In fact, his face got darker with each praise he received.
"Caster, that was incredible!"
"Your Aspect is overpowered, am I right"
"That Nephis girl stood no chance at all"
"True names? who needs them, she is nothing but wanna be"
Finally, Caster raised his head and looked at boy who has spoken the last comment with a cold look. That boy, just like him was one of the few legacies in their branch of sleepers. He was surprised by Caster reaction.
"What is it?" said the other legacy in a cold tone.
"I might have expected such behavior from them, but you should know better" said Caster as he gritted his teeth.
"Why? is there something special about that present girl" said the other legacy as he raised his eyebrow.
Caster just looked at the other boy, as if he doesn't even know what to say.
Then he sighs.
"She is the Nephis of the immortal Flame clan and daughter of the smile of heaven and broken sword" said Caster as he looked at the other legacy whose face becomes deadly pale after hearing the name immortal Flame clan.
Everyone in the locker becomes silent, after all they all know who the immortal Flame clan is.
If what Caster said was true then she is from the Nobility.
The pale faced sleeper asked in trembling voice.
"Then why...why is she so...."
Caster sighed.
"Because they all dead. The immortal Flame clan is long gone"
For few movements, the looker room was completely silent. Caster looked down.
"She's the only one left"
After changing everyone left the looker room, but no one noticed a shadow slipping into the corners.

The next day
Raizel laid in his bed as he look at the white ceiling while laying on his bed, he has been thinking for a while.
'Who is that boy and that girl.?' thought Raizel as he remember the in the combat classes that happen yesterday expect for him two more sleepers didn't participated in the fights.
He know from the book that Nephis defeated every sleeper that were presented in the combat class but the fact that those two people didn't participate.
'And those eyes...' thought Raizel as he remember the look in those eyes as if they already know the outcome of the fight.
'Just as i thought, the future will not be the same after my involvement.' Raizel already know it from the movement he found out about the future.
Their were many things like the fact that, his family wasn't mention in the book.
'Well whatever it is i will probably find it today.' since something inside him was telling him that he should be prepared for today.
He then stood up from his bed and started doing his morning routine.
After a while he walking towards the cafeteria to get his breakfast.
Reaching the cafeteria he saw that only a few sleepers were present there. Not minding them he walked towards the counter to order his food.
After getting his food he walked the table where Cassie sat
"Good morning, Cassie." said Raizel as he sit down on front of her.
Cassie hearing the familiar voice looked up with a shocked look, before a smile appeared on her face, then she replied.
"Good morning, Raizel."
Raizel and Cassie started talking, sometimes Raizel would also try to crack a joke to which Cassie would looked at him in horror and a scared look.
'Guess she didn't like dark humor.' thought Raizel as he looked at the Cassie who seems to be traumatized after what she heard.
He then notice that Cassie was not able to eat her lunch, she seems to be struggling with the spoon.
Raizel who has already finish his food, decide to help her.
"Here let me help you." said Raizel as he took the spoon from her hand.
"No!.. that fine i can-" Raizel didn't let her finish as he put the food in her mouth.
Gulp!!
Cassie sallow the whole food, before a huge blush appeared on her face.
"See it wasn't that hard." said Raizel as he looked at Cassie who seems to be murmuring something.
"I-i... a-am.... n-not... a..... child..." said Cassie with a lot of slutter in between her words, her face was turned red but Raizel was able to hear her clearly.
'She must be embarrassed.' thought Raizel as he looked at Cassie who was a blushing mess.
"Now say Ahh~" said Raizel as he put the spoon in front of Cassie.
"R-Raizel... i-i.... c-can..... e-eat myself." Cassie tried to said calmly, if not for the huge blush on her face and the slutter in her tone.
"Cassie, you don't need to feel embarrassed." said Raizel trying to trying to clam down the blind girl in front of her.
Cassie was about to say something when Raizel quickly put the food in her mouth.
So just like this their breakfast went, where Raizel feed Cassie while the later trying to stop him.
Currently Raizel was walking the combat class.
'It's about time I see the power of my attribute.'
The attribute he was talking about was {Superhuman}. He stopped in front of the door with Combat class written on it.
Raizel opened the door and walked in the room as he saw more than fifty sleepers already present there.
"Alright today you all will be sparing against each other, the rules are the same as yesterday either throw your opponent out of the ring or make his back touch the ground" said the Instructor Rock as could see some sleeper excited.
"So who's gonna come first"
Hearing this Raizel was the first one to walked up to the ring.
Seeing Raizel walking towards the ring, every sleeper becomes silent as they see him in the ring. Since he was currently the ranked first in their branch, and they know nothing about him.
Suddenly a tall girl with an hour glass figure walked in the ring and stood in front of Raizel.
'It her..' thought Raizel as he remember one of the two who didn't participated in the fight that happen yesterday.
She was tall probably the tallest girl in their branch, with a height reaching 180cm, her hair was crimson red in colour that reach her back, big red eyes, with long eye lashes, her eyes held an unknown glint, her skin was white, with cherry red lips.
Looking at her, many sleepers knows that she was the number one beauty here, that was until Raizel come.
Raizel saw an arrogant smirk was plastid on her face.
"Say Raizel~ if I defeated you would you go out on a date with me~" she said in a seductive and sweet voice that could make anyone agree to her demands, a beautiful smile was formed on her face, enhancing her overall beauty
But this bold statement of her has made more than half of the sleepers present in the class shocked.
Raizel didn't said anything as he just stares at the girl with his cold purple eyes. He doesn't know why but seeing the smirk on her was reminding him of his mother.
"Ok now start" said Instructor Rock as he step aside.
Suddenly the girl advances towards Raizel with a punch.
"sigh"
Raizel just sighs, seeing the girl running towards him in slow motion, for other she might be fast like Caster but for him her speed was slow.
Dogging the punch with a side step, he fully turned around and did an impressive round kick that landed right on her face, broking her nose and a few teeth in the process.
The girl didn't have time to defend herself as he got thrown out of the ring.
Everyone was taken back by this display, because the girl was one of the top five ranked sleepers in their branch, her ranked was fourth right below Caster who was a ranked third. Seeing her getting thrown out of the ring in seconds without even putting up a fight, everyone looked at Raizel with a awe.
"Next" Said Raizel his voice sounded cold and emotionless as he glanced at all the sleeper, making them flinch.
Everyone looked at each other but, they didn't know why but they all had a bad feeling about this.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
After a while one by one any sleeper who were challenged by Raizel were either thrown out of the ring or slammed, some were even directly transfer to the infirmary.
"Ahh...damn it hurts"
"Fuck how is she so strong"
"How is she doing this ?"
The sleepers complained and growled in pain as they stared at Raizel who was now fighting with Caster.
The shocking thing was that Caster was getting pushed back, even with his speed he was no match against Raizel, since Raizel {Superhuman} attribute gives him five times the speed and strength of an adult. His speed was faster then Caster.
Suddenly Caster got thrown out of the ring. He tried to stand up while holding his stomach, only to fall and cough some drops of blood.
Instructor Rock seeing this immediately called the medic to take Caster away. He was also shocked to see that Caster wasn't able to put up a fight, but that's not the only thing he was shocked about, he know that Raizel haven't even used his Aspect yet.
Instructor Rock looked at Raizel who was just yawning, while looking at the sleeper, he doesn't even seems tired.
'Damn! she is also just like that brat from the immortal flame clan, no she might even be stronger than her.'
Seeing everyone on the floor, Raizel just 'sigh' as he will not be able to warm up more.
His main purpose was to warm up since he hasn't fight in a while, he needed to stretch his muscles.
Seeing no one getting up, he sigh and was about to get out of the ring. When a voice stopped him in his tracks.
"Wait!"
Raizel turned around and saw Nephis standing there looking at him with her grey eyes, if one were to looked closely they would notice that a fire seems to burning deep within them.
"...Fight me" said Nephis with a pause.
'Huh???'
Raizel looked her with his indifferent face but internally he was bit confused.
Their was a silence in the room, everyone was tensed up, they looked at the new figure. Nephis who was standing opposite to Raizel.
Now the whole branch knows that she is from the Immortal flame clan. Since rumors spread fast.
No one said the words as they all looked at the two strongest sleepers, everyone could feel the heavy pressure that was coming from them.
Raizel looked at Nephis with his emotionless face.
'Why does she want to fight me, is it because her pride got hurt that she is not number one or does she think that i am an assassin send by her father friends.'
Raizel know that it was the latter, he looked at Nephis who was staring at him with a detached look on her face, but their was a hint of panic in her eyes.
'Well then let's see how much stronger you have gotten since the last time.' thought Raizel as he looked at her.
"Fine.... but not here." said Raizel as he glanced at his surrounding, he saw that all the sleepers and even Awakend Rock seemed to be looking in their direction, even the shadow too.
Nephis though for a bit then nodded.
"That's fine"
After that they processed to make their way to the private training ground. ignoring all the curious glances they received along the way.

Nephis (pov)
Glancing at the Sleeper in front of her, Nephis felt conflicted.
She recall the first time she meet Raizel, she knew she had seen Raizel somewhere but didn't know where.
'And the fact that-'
Raizel also has the same stench of a Dreamspawn on her just like her.
Both Raizel and her has come at the same time in the Academy.
But it all changes when she saw the Ranking of the sleepers in her batch, she saw Raizel name at the top above her, what made her uneasy was that she doesn't belong to any clan or family but was first rank also has a true name.
'Just who is she ?'
She knew nothing about her expect for the fact that she received a true name and is also a Dreamspawn like her.
She doesn't feel comfortable knowing that she has no information on someone who might be one of the assassins send after her.
Which lead to the current situation.
