Professor Garrick approached Skyler, who was busy showing off to Charles, unaware that the students sitting behind them were staring at him as if he was a ghost.

The professor’s footsteps faltered when Skyler decided to open his mouth again.

"It’s a shame the professor didn’t focus more on Light element spells, or else I would have learned more spells for my element."

Garrick cleared his throat to catch the attention of the two new students.

"How was the class? I used a lot of difficult terms. So, if you don’t understand anything, don’t hesitate to ask questions."

Charles had some questions he asked the professor but Skyler simply blinked at him.

"No, Professor, I got it. The lecture wasn’t that difficult. It will just take me some time to digest it, since the information was new."

Garrick’s smile stiffened. He wondered if Skyler was lying to him because he knew his lecture was challenging, especially for those who hadn’t taken any classes related to spell language before. So why did this lad make it sound like it was nothing?

He nodded, silently deciding to closely observe the new students in his class. If Skyler hadn’t learned the spell he had just shown Charles before, then he must have created a weaker version of the Light spell Garrick had demonstrated in class.

That in itself was remarkable!

No student had ever learned a spell just by observing someone cast a spell before!

If this was true, it meant this kid was a genius of spell language! One that could surpass everyone if he had knowledge!

"I see. Just remember, if you two have any questions, you can consult me after class, or you can come to my office."

Skyler and Charles thanked him, and the professor rushed out of the class to share his discovery with his fellow professors.

He had to tell those fools who were very displeased with the new students enrolling in Elite Class A that one of those students might be a genius in spell language! While the other wasn’t bad either, seeing how he understood most of his lecture!

Just as the professor left, Skyler quickly grabbed his things and whispered.

"Run when I do."

Charles nodded grimly. Just like Skyler, he had sensed Vex’s approaching presence. So, without a second thought, he sprinted after him when he ran off, leaving the bully and his goons fuming behind them.

Vex let out a shout and kicked a student desk, nearly sending it flying.

"Those little pricks! I’m going to challenge them to a duel! Yes, that’s it! That’s the only way I can show them who’s boss—"

He clamped his mouth shut mid-sentence and gritted his teeth as Max glared at him.

’This Devil! Why is he interfering with me when I’m not even targeting him!’

After this, the students went to their next class, where an old male professor lectured on how to efficiently use Evol and make the elemental crystals in their hearts stronger.

Then, they went to another lecture given by a young woman as a professor. She taught them about the weaknesses and strengths of monsters, how to fight them, and which parts of the monsters were valuable.

However, Vax and his team weren’t able to lay their hands on Skyler and Charles! First, the two would bolt off instantly after class, and second, they would unnecessarily chat with any professor they saw on the way!

Vex’s blood was boiling. He crushed the pen in his hand, his gaze fixed on Skyler’s head as he sat directly behind him in the next class, a lecture on History of Eldoria.

"Following this, we have one hour break to go eat and drink. Now where will you run!"

He deliberately made his voice loud, ensuring his prey could hear him.

But he nearly saw blood when, after class, instead of going for break, both Skyler and Charles stayed behind with the professor, feigning a deep interest in history.

The old, white-haired professor was more than willing to talk more about history now that some kids actually showed interest.

So, Vex’s minions had to quickly drag him away before he crushed another object in his frustration, like his innocent pen.

Charles sighed, glancing at Skyler as the elderly professor rambled on endlessly.

"How long do you think we can keep dodging him like this? We have to handle this before the professors get involved."

Skyler rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"He’s not the only one showing hostility. Haven’t you noticed the intense, watchful eyes on us? Except for a few who couldn’t care less, every student in class A is just waiting for a chance to take us down."

Perhaps sensing his bad mood, Riruru tapped his chin, making him chuckle. He looked toward the last row of the class. A student was still there, watching them.

It was a face Skyler recognized—Zack.

A smirk played on his lips and he looked away, just before Zack noticed his gaze.

"You know, Vex is openly challenging us. He’s not dangerous because he’s showing his true colors, unlike the rest of the class who are just watching silently, waiting for us to stumble so they can laugh. So, him being behind us is actually a good thing since no one else will bother us until he does."

Charles wanted to compliment him for thinking so far ahead, but Skyler had to destroy his image with his next words.

"Ugh... I’m exhausted. We are practically running around taking classes back-to-back. Just when will this end? I even have to go to the library to get some spell scrolls to learn since we have to learn the basics ourselves now. Riruru and I are starving too..."

He grumbled on and on, making even the chatty professor quiet due to his voice. The professor cleared his throat, embarrassed he became engrossed in history again, and told them to go and eat something.

Charles noticed the sparkle in Skyler’s eyes and understood this jerk deliberately raised his voice to make the professor stop. They left the class together, munching on some dried fruit snacks they had packed in their storage rings before leaving Nowan City.

Skyler checked his student ID card.

"Our next class is physical training in the training grounds, followed by virtual reality training and then weapon practice. That is the last class for today. As for the talisman division class, it’s on Saturday afternoon."

Charles nodded as they made their way towards the first-year Elite class training grounds, located in the dome behind the building they were in, oblivious to the impending danger that awaited them.

"Let’s go to the library together if we have any strength left at the end of the day."

Skyler was more than willing.

Just as they entered the gate of the dome and stepped foot in the space filled with gym equipment and training dummies, they were greeted by the familiar ’hidden master’ they met yesterday in the registration building.

Many of the Class A students were already gathered in front of him as he stood before them with a solemn expression. Max and Austin stood on either side of him.

Skyler’s mood soured at the sight. He and Charles thought the same thing.

"So, they are the ones who stole the powerful hidden master?"

They glanced at each other and shrugged with dejected looks. It seemed they had to give up on this hidden character. Hopefully, the both would find a better master, one that was stronger than this one.

Professor Moore noticed the two new students who entered the dome. The duo was very good-looking and stood out from the rest of the arriving Class A students, who looked like dry shrimps in comparison.

He glanced at Max and Austin.

’My students are better looking!’

As the last student of Elite Class A finally arrived, Professor Moore clapped his hands to get their attention and silence them.

"Alright, kids. I believe many of you know me? I was your professor in third year. But I had to leave for a long while... In any case, now that I am back, I will once again be in charge of your physical training."

He clasped his hands behind his back, a smirk playing on his lips. Those who had seen that smirk before all shuddered.

"I heard from Doris all of you cleared the preliminary test with a rather outstanding performance. Especially Max and his group. Well, I expected as much from them since they trained under me."

His eyes were filled with pride, and Skyler scoffed inwardly. He had also performed very well in the preliminary test, alright!

"I don’t like him. He’s boasting. Tsk."

He muttered, and Charles agreed.

Moore’s ear twitched at their words, but he didn’t take them to heart and chose to ignore them for now. He had more important things to announce to the students.

"All hundred of you. No, Doris mentioned that this class has two new students. All of you have experienced the preliminary test and know what the Battle Royal actually is. So, I don’t understand why you are wasting time when many of you are already capable of entering the first Level of Battle Royal!"
