Eram looked over at Yuki and smiled. "How about I walk you to your class."
Yuki smiled and responded. " Of course, that works."
After Eram and Yuki said goodbye to the rest of the group they left. " So what class are you heading for?" Eram asked Yuki
"I'm heading to the Cleaver class," Yuki responded.
Eram looked back and asked, " What's it about?"
" Honestly we had a demonstration on helping the teams we are a part of. Most of the time though we've spent exercising." Yuki looked back with an exhausted look.
Eram looked at her and said with a smug grin on his face. " luckily I don't have to work out. Due to my core which I'm assuming is an adaptation, I'm always in peak condition."
Yuki looked at him angrily " Seriously unfair! Ugh, I wish I had your abilities!"
Eram laughed and smiled till they reached her class. " See you later Yuki. I had fun walking with you."
Yuki smiled and said her goodbyes. Eram started walking to his class feeling a small bit of dread but the trinket in his chest was keeping him calm.
Eram entered the classroom starting to sweat bullets. He walked straight to a corner away from the front of the classroom.
The room was as empty as last time but Eram felt that the walls were closing in. The teacher walked in and noticed Eram who looked like he was on the brink of passing out.
Mr. Sunnon quickened his pace as Eram was starting to look paler than a blank white sheet of paper. " Eram, are you okay?"
Eram looked at the quickly closing in Sunnon and started to tear up. "Get away!" He screamed with all his might startling his classmates.
Mr. Sunnon stepped back to give Eram some space. " Hey, Eram. I'm sorry about what I did last time I saw you. I want you to know I have had this season's wallet docked and I have had to go to training." Sunnon looked genuinely remorseful.
Eram looked at him, still sweating and nervous but decided to respond while shivering. " It's okay. You were just doing your job."
" Actually no I wasn't. I took advantage of the fact that you had a regeneration ability and used you to set an example. May I tell you a story?" Sunnon looked at Eram who nodded in reply.
"When you're an explorer you discover many cool and fascinating things. I was once younger and more full of energy. Me and my team met here in this school much like many of you." Sunnon waved his hands around the class.
"And my group went all the way to the seventh ring and misfortune struck. A phoenix came from the ninth ring going on a rampage. It found my team and the main guardian on your team threw me out of the way and bought just enough time for me and my time to escape. Me and I minored in each other's respective roles but that didn't matter in the end. He looked back at me as the phoenix killed him and smiled.
His ability was called perfect shield and it made a wall of stone but it required a ton of pho use. It took the phoenix nothing but four seconds to tear through it and its entirety and consume him. To this day I regret it. I have nightmares at least once a week of that monster chewing on him creating a disgusting crunching sound. After we got back we decided it was time to retire with our leader gone and I have been here ever since.
Basically what I am getting at is that I forgot that others especially people as young as you Eram don't have to suffer at your age and I shouldn't have tried to force you either." Sunnon looked at Eram with a serious look and backed up. Kalla approached Eram to see if he was okay and much to her surprise after Sunnon's talk Eram looked better.
Eram looked at the teacher. " Thanks for sharing that with the class. I may not trust you for a while but I should be fine." After Sunnon heard that he nodded and walked back up to the front of the class.
"It's time for class to begin sorry for the delay. Today we will be training our body and or your Spell casting for those who can." Sunnon said relieved that Eram somewhat forgave him.
The class passed by uneventfully with nothing of note happening. Eram and Kalla walked together to lunch and met up with their respective groups and all sat together. Eram had fun seeing his friends.
Once lunch was over the two parties split up heading their separate ways for the rest of the day.
Eram's Group went to their next class Team practice. Upon arriving they noticed they were the last ones there. Lila yelled at Alexander. "It took you like forever to take a shit! Really!" Lila looked like she had steam coming out of her ears as she yelled at the quiet and embarrassed Alexander.
The teacher laughed. " Sorry, Eram I don't think I have had the chance to introduce myself. My name is Mr. Bell nice to see you in good health."
Eram smiled and shook the teacher's hand. After he did that the class immediately split up into their parties and two parties paired up. Michael whispered to Eram what they were supposed to do. It was simple combat training and team sparing.
There was no ability usage at all due to some abilities that could permanently harm or accidentally kill a classmate. Eram stood up at the front and the group sparing began. Within two minutes the other team was already on their asses. Eram looked over at his group noting how amazing his teammates were
Eram listened to Michael as he spoke. " After that fight, you went to Cedric due to poor health we have been relentlessly practicing. Eram noticed the calluses beginning to form on his new friend's hands.
Eram asked back to Michael. " Have you gone to see Cedric yet about his training offer?"
Michael shook his head in response noting that he was still too nervous to see him. The teacher came over noticing that Erams' group was already done and decided they needed someone better to train against.
Mr. Bell looked at the group and said. " Come fight me. I'll go easy on you but I don't want y'all to hold back." Mr. Bell curled his hands up into fists getting ready to fight the group.
Eram immediately dashed in and threw a punch which was easily dodged by Mr. Bell. Alexander brought something out that surprised everyone, A small Frog with wings called a Feltin frog. It had enough toxins on its skin that whoever it touched would be incapacitated, though its core ability was interesting as well. It could cause the ground around it to become slippery. Alexander through his new pet he got today out in the air and floated and made it use its ability, causing everyone to slip even himself. Lila was in the process of pulling out her sword she got from her Spearman instructor yesterday until she fell.
Michael did better than everyone else by reducing gravity on himself and more or less floated over to the instructor to get a hit in and disable his abilities. Yuki knew the fight was pointless because of her predator ability, but she didn't want to give up. She sprinted with all of her might and used her zero-one ability to absorb the pho in the air and quickly cast the light spell she had learned. She realized you could put more pho in a spell to make its effect greater when she was in the library. She put all of the pho she could into the light spell and made it like a flashbang.
Bell was caught by surprise and had to cover his eyes. Eram quickly got up and aimed to get one hit in. Much to Eram's surprise, he managed to hit Bell but that surprise turned to shock when Bell immediately grabbed his wrist and used him as a sword.
Eram screamed. " What the hell!" As he was picked up and used to beat down the approaching Michael. Alexander saw the beat down and started laughing not realizing he was next. Within a few seconds, Eram was once again used as a sword to beat Alexander.
Right as Bell was going to hit the girls with Eram the bell rang and he stopped. Bell let go of Eram causing him to flop to the floor in pain and exhaustion. For some reason even though Eram managed to hit the bell he didn't get any of his power and he wondered why.
Bell looked at him and started laughing to the point of crying. " You should have seen the look on your face it was priceless. If you're wondering why you didn't get an iota of my soul it was because I used this book to shield me." He then pulled out a dictionary he had hidden in his shirt. " Go to your next classes and don't be late." Bell smiled as the kids got up. He turned to his desk happy that he got to show the youth how it is done.
Eram and his group were laughing and talking about how the fight went. On their way out Eram had an itching feeling in the back of his head he just couldn't tell what it was.
