Aiden had conquered the first floor of the Academy Tower and found the hidden room, gaining a mysterious artifact that further boosted his abilities. With his growing strength, he knew it was time to start planning his revenge for the betrayal he suffered in his past life. However, to succeed, he needed allies.
In this new world, many of those who betrayed him had also been reincarnated. Aiden knew that to exact his revenge, he would need to track them down and grow powerful enough to challenge them. The Academy was the perfect place to start, as it was filled with powerful individuals and hidden secrets.

One afternoon, Aiden was scouting the academy grounds when he noticed a young girl, Luna, being bullied by a group of students. She was being taunted and pushed around, her eyes filled with tears and desperation.

Luna: *hesitant* "Thank you. I... I don't know what to say."
Aiden: *brushing off the encounter* "Don't mention it. Just try to stay out of trouble."

**Dialogue:**
Aiden: "You're good. I've seen you slip in and out of the shadows like it's second nature."
Shade: *emerging from the shadows* "And you are?"
Aiden: "I'm Aiden. I've noticed your skills and thought you might be interested in joining a group of like-minded individuals."
**Narrative:**
Shade studied Aiden with a cautious but curious gaze. His demeanor was reserved, but there was an undeniable aura of competence about him.
**Dialogue:**
Shade: "What's in it for me? And why should I trust you?"

Aiden: "You're Nyx, right? I've heard you're skilled with magic. I'm assembling a group and could use someone with your knowledge."

**Dialogue:**
Luna: *nervously stepping forward* "Aiden, I've been following you for a while. I want to join your group."
Aiden: *surprised* "You want to join us? Why?"
Luna: *taking a deep breath* "Because you're the only person who's ever shown me kindness. Everyone else has treated me like an outcast, but you... you stepped in when no one else would. It felt like someone finally cared. I have abilities that I haven't fully shown yet, but I want to use them to help you."
**Narrative:**
As Luna spoke, Nyx entered the room and noticed the strange aura around Luna. Her curiosity was immediately piqued.
**Dialogue:**
Nyx: *to herself* "Ancient magic..."
Nyx: *approaching Aiden* "I see you have a new recruit. Her aura... it's intriguing. She's connected to ancient magic, isn't she?"
Aiden: "If you're curious, you can join our group and learn more about ancient magic with Luna. She might also unlock her potential with the right guidance."

**Dialogue:**
Aiden: "Raven, you're welcome to join us if you have the skills to contribute. We could use someone with your expertise in covert operations."
Raven: *nodding* "I can do that. I have my own reasons for joining, and they align with your goals."
**Narrative:**
With Raven's agreement, Nyx looked at Luna with renewed curiosity.
**Dialogue:**
Nyx: "If there's a chance to explore ancient magic further, I'm interested. I could use some new insights."
Luna: *hesitant* "Is it alright for me to join her?"

As the team gathered, they were interrupted by Orion, a high-status student from the Eclipse Vanguard. Orion's arrogance and disdain were evident.
**Dialogue:**
Orion: "Ah, the new kid with his band of misfits. What makes you think you can compete with us? You're nobody."
Aiden: *with a cold smile* "A nobody can achieve much if given the chance. You're welcome to find out just how capable I am."
