Words : 1147 Updated : Sep 17th, 2025

The newly admitted students could all be seen walking towards the canteen while some were chatting happily, Grey was seen in his usual pose with his hands in his pockets as he walked forward leaving the others behind him. And after following the holographic display, they were finally at the canteen with Grey selecting his choice of food and taking his seat. The canteen was also huge with several dishes to choose from. Several chairs surrounding a table were seen, about five chairs per table with Grey seen sitting at one of the tables with his food in front of him. It didn't take long before he began digging in while some new students walked towards a table to sit down. Grey didn't even bother to pay attention to them as he took a full table for himself and the others were eyeing him up. "Hmm. This food is quite good." Grey said aloud unknowingly as he took a scoop of rice into his mouth. "Obviously it will be good, not the trashy food you commoners eat." Grey heard a voice saying from the table behind him and turning around, he could see Scarlet, Vince and three others seated there. With them laughing all except Vince. Looking for the person who said the statement, he just scoffed. "I didn't know I would encounter some senseless beings in this academy on the first day at that." Grey said aloud. "Although, if that prickly queen is there, I shouldn't be surprised." This statement upset those at the table as it was obvious there was discrimination going on with some haughty kids sitting at one table and some modest ones at the other table. With only Grey hoarding a full table for himself. "How dare…" one of the males sitting with Scarlet and the rest was about to say when she quickly grabbed him by the shoulder. "You shouldn't." She said, shaking her head as she remembered the assessment very well. "Like hell I would listen to you!" The male said as he walked towards Grey's table while Raze and Arthur, who were sitting with some other commoners, swiftly turned around to see a student about to grab the shoulder of Grey. "Big mistake dude." Raze mumbled as he remembered Grey's rules clearly. Before the student could grab Grey, he suddenly felt a chill from his right while Grey was calmly chewing through a piece of meat. Looking to his right, the student could see a long wind blade pointing at him exuding a lot of power which made him gulp. 'When did he cast the spell? It was so silent that I was unable to hear anything! How come?!' the male thought with his forehead sweaty slightly. "I had said this statement at the assessment." Grey said as he stood up after finishing up his food and he turned around to look at the noble in front of him that took a step back slightly. "You shouldn't judge a book by its cover, who knows, the book might end up hurting you." Waving his hand, the wind blade dispersed and Grey grabbed his plates while walking past the noble, he whispered. "Be careful who you talk to anyhow in future, you don't know who might end up saving or taking your life." Passing the student, he dropped his plate at the counter and thanked the chefs for the delicious food and then he left the canteen while the student was still seen rooted in his spot as the fear he felt from Grey was real. "We told you right?" Vince said as he also stood up. "Don't mess with him otherwise you would regret it." Hearing Vince's voice, the noble turned around with an angry expression on his face. "Who gave a weakling like you the right to question me?!" He asked and then in a flash, he was in front of Vince about to unleash his magic when the whole table suddenly got hot and Scarlet's hair was floating above her shoulders. "Don't even dare!" She said with a low threatening growl and the noble backed off with a scoff. "Where was this attitude of yours when that commoner was speaking? You went there to attack, but couldn't even move and you think you can try to bully Vince? Think of doing that again and I will burn you into a crisp!" "Tch! You think if I wanted to kill that annoying commoner I wouldn't be able to?" "Then why didn't you? Just face it, you are a weak ass trash!" Scarlet said. "Just shut up your annoying lady!" The noble said as his whole body began electrifying and his eyes suddenly looked as if it was turning white. "Just because you sit at the table with us doesn't mean you are the same status as me!" "Who cares about status in this world? Only power matters and I will show you why it's that." Scarlet said with her hands blazing fiery hot when… "No fighting in the canteen!" They all heard a voice say and two men appeared with stern look on their faces. It felt like they were there all along as they glared at the two noble kids. "You have beef? Settle it in a duel or something and definitely not in a canteen!" "You are lucky." The noble said as he cancelled his magic and so did Scarlet. "Do not ever think of sitting with us again." "Like I would want to do that again." Scarlet scoffed and the noble along with his remaining two friends walked away from the canteen and so did Scarlet and Vince. "Woah! What an intense first day and we haven't resumed the academy fully." Raze commented. "If they are like this, I wonder how we are ever going to get some missions done." Arthur replied and the other three commoners at the table nodded agreeing with Arthur. Meanwhile, the two men that had appeared suddenly looked away from the students after Scarlet and the other nobles left the hall and they tapped their foreheads at once. When in their ears, they heard a voice say… "Speak!" "Sir! We couldn't see any students from the new ones that came in that matched your description." One of the men spoke silently. "But we saw someone that looked interesting though." The second man said. "Did he match my description?" The voice spoke again in their minds. "No sir!" They said at once. "Then don't f*cking tell me. I will look into the other academies but for now, keep an eye on the other students." The voice said. "Roger that sir!"
