Clive was facing a situation that he could've never thought possible . He was standing along with what he would call "humans " as he didn't even know the meaning of students listening to a speech of a renowned reitred teacher calling himself adrius.
Clive tried to not miss anything that he was saying to learn more about the academy and his future trials . After he finished the speech he called each name to place them on hierarchical classes . Clive had to wait hours before his name was finally called up and as the teacher Called his name , a silence overwhelmed the hall .
"Clive is to come to class 16 " which is the last class made for poor people but that wasn't the shocking thing to everyone . What was strange to the people was that Clive did not possess any last name . Last names determined your worth at least that was what he understood and the fact that he did not have any meant that he was of the lowest class . What tasted bitter to Clive was that he never really gave any meaning to it, he thought of it as a normal thing but again his lack of education that the system could have given him was shown once again and it won't be the last time .
Clive now had to head to class 16 and obviously he did not know , his only solution was to ask for help and found it in a gloomy and dark girl just like him except not as beautiful after all , he always believed that his beauty could not be matched . Clive asked the young girl in a unusual and especially rude way .
"Hey where's class 16?" He said.
"Right there is a sign showing you the way" she responded without even glancing a look at him , she probably missed a hidden gem but it wouldn't have changed the terrible events that were going to occur.
Instead of saying thank you like a normal human being which Clive wasn't , he thought to himself in a perverted manner .
"Made just like I like it" , I should probably have a taste." It was like she wasn't even a
human in his eyes to begin with .
As soon as she stopped talking a hand reached to her breast and was squeezed. A large and evil smile with tongue out appeared on Clive's face as well as a slap with full force on his cheek.
He wasn't knocked back or even hurt even if it surely came from someone that received training and fought battles to be here at the academy . But what the girl didn't know was that Clive had fought the mightiest battle one could ever fight and no less than 1500 time at that . Full of rage , Clive reached to her neck at an unnoticeable speed and not knowing the extent of his strength tied his hand around it and made her head explode .Blood was all over Clive's head falling down to the ground. , Clive didn't expect to do any damage to her and he was right, no damage was dealt , it was simply an instant death resembling a divine judgment.
Clive new to this world of educated people didn't think he would get in any trouble and he even accomplished a small part of his goal but he was wrong .
Everyone around him was shocked , some were even vomiting and teachers were running to him and gave him a hostile look as they were pulling weapons out .
Before they could reach him , the system spoke in his head and said something that pleased Clive .
"Congratulations user for your first kill"
"You have received a bronze chest as a reward"
Kills:1/1000
"Ha still a long way to go" he thought to himself.
The teachers running him finally caught up and moved their swords to attack him , something that Clive did not comprehend .
With his intense training or carnage against the nameless king , their movements felt slow and clumsy but somehow managed to touch him almost as if he was obliged to not move. Their attack did not have any impactful consequence as he was unscathed . Clive felt that he needed to fight back and knew that he would easily win but still couldn't move .
"What's stopping me from moving , hey system!"
The system did not speak but instead sent him a message .
"You have failed your mission" . "Retuning you to the closest checkpoint"
Clive shouted : "Wait why, I have done exactly what you told me to, I kille…"
The system not giving him enough time to even finish speaking immediately sent him back to his room the day before he headed to the academy.
"You now have 2 lives remaining"
Clive completely flabbergasted engaged in a long conversation with the system . It was something he could have done earlier but he just wasn't expecting the system to cooperate whatsoever.
"Why did you send me back ? What did I do wrong. I killed just like we both wanted and agreed on. Are you already defective?
"I am not ,you are closer to it than me" . It was not something that a system should even be thinking about .
"Are you messing with me , do you still have the courage to do so even after showing yourself 17 years too late. If not, then tell me what happened.
The system finally clarified the situation.
"As you wish, you were returned because you failed your mission . A kill is not accepted unless it is done respecting certain conditions. You cannot kill if a witness is present , in your case we can say that the whole world saw it but if you kill the witness fast enough you can avoid failing that is why you were not directly sent back . Finally, kills do not amount only to humans , it can be monsters that you will be facing or even animals that you find outside , as long as it possess a soul , it is a kill."
"Interesting" Clive learned a lot from his mistake , he now knew that he could get stronger way easier now even if he mostly preferred humans , he would not hesitate to kill for power .
"Now what do I do?"
"You go back to the academy and this time you do not fail."
Clive was back at the time of his kill if it could be considered a kill and now didn't need the help from this woman but he did not exclude a future development with her .
He has reached class 16 , a class with surprisingly a low number of students no more that 15 to be precise and was welcomed with different looks . The same look was given to him by the young women admiring his handsomeness a few men even felt this way which gave some weird goosebumps to Clive . Other looks were more intriguing, after his fight against the nameless king , Clive was now letting out a strange aura making him seem more charismatic even if his clothes were holding him back .
He chose his sit at the front row and as soon as he sat down the teacher that was giving the speech a few minutes earlier .
"You're all probably wondering why someone of my status would come to a class as low as this . Well it's simply becaus I come from the same deplorable life as you and rised to the top of the awakended world".
For the first time in his life , Clive felt that he could maybe trust a human .
The teacher continued speaking about things that seemed and were utterly useless to the other students living under the influcence of the system and Caring parents but were invaluable to Clive .
Before the teacher started speaking about magic , his main subject , he summerised everything known to manking just as if he read Clive like an open book .
After 2 hours of class , Clive had learned a lot enough to call himself educated as he always knew about his memorisation capabilities.
He now knew the most important things that the system was supposed to fulfill . Every human is born with a system and is adjusted and understood thanks to the parents , two things that Clive did not possess . Every human needs to be trained at a young age to face the 5 divine gates and the ascended day . The 5 divine gates are trials that Clive will be going tonight in a few months that required intense trained and resilience but also provided useful rewards as well as the kills that would make him stronger . And the most important , the power organisation . Each human when reaching the age of ten are given an afinity to one element : fire, water , shock and wind. The only disadvantage was that they would also get a weakness that was made sure by the system to weaken them . Clive had an opportunity although he didn't have access to the stats for now , he could still choose his Element after reaching a 1000 kills and not only that he didn't have a weakness .
As Clive was leaving the class , he was stopped by the same girl that he had killed the previous life .
"You are Clive right."
"I am" answered Clive with a cold look even if he was liking what was in front of him , he couldn't thing that way anymore even if he wanted to . He had no choice but to blend in and adapt with the others .
"Can I speak to you privately,"
"Sure , why not" he said as he followed her curious of what she could say .
