“Alec”
“Present”
“Mia”
“Present”
…..
“Kyle”
Aliza looked at the students and raised her voice after not hearing a response,
“Kyle Ohan.”
“Is Kyle not present?”
All the students looked at each other, they all knew about Kyle because he left a bad impression on them during the last round of the entrance test. But no one expected him to be absent during the first class.
Aliza looked at the class and frowned but she didn’t comment on it, as students were allowed to be absent from the class.
‘Kyle Ohan! I will remember this name to see who is bold enough to be absent during the first class.’
Writing Absent in front of Kyle’s name she continued with the attendance.
“That’s it for today, get to know your classmates and tour around the training areas to familiarize yourself.”
After closing the attendance sheet Aliza left the classroom.
The moment Aliza’s figure wasn’t visible anymore, all the students started talking excitedly. Especially the boys.
“Wow, that’s the youngest (+S)-Ranker of the Kingdom?”
“She’s so beautiful! I think I have fallen in love”
“Pfff, have you seen your face? Someone like her would never even glance at a loser like you!”
On the other hand amidst the gossip, Alec stood up and left the class. He wanted to see the training areas of the Academy.
Actually, he was anxious because, for the past month, the System has not given him any missions. He wanted to become strong but considering the system was not giving him any mission, his progress has slowed down compared to before.
A week ago the system finally gave him a mission but because it was very strange, he was not able to complete it.

_________________________
He didn’t know who was the Celestial. Where should he find him? How can he help them in bloodline awakening?
Usually, he has to complete missions within a given time limit and if he can’t the mission will fail, but this time the system didn’t give him any time limit.
Alec wasn’t even able to communicate with the system, the system was a strange entity he found during the worst time of his life.
He was an orphan and the orphanage he lived in was attacked by the monsters. All the kids living in the orphanage died due to the monster’s rampage.
At that time, seeing the dead bodies of his brothers and sisters Alec felt like everything was his fault. If he was just strong enough he would have been able to protect those precious to him.
After losing his senses in anger he entered the Dark forest without thinking much about the consequences. Even though he was weak, he didn’t care because he wanted to take revenge for his brothers and sisters.
He would have already died in the forest if he hadn’t made a connection with the system accidentally.
After the connection was established, the system showed him the destruction of the world he was living in. It was a scene Alec would never forget his whole life.
Dark clouds roamed around the world, dead bodies were piled around everywhere, and the only sound one could hear was screams and painful cries filled with agony.
No matter whether kids, old or young everyone was dying. The world was on the verge of collapse.
After seeing such a devasting scene, Alec promised himself to become strong. So he can stop the destruction of the world, and protect those precious to him. And also because the system was helping him, that’s why he easily started to climb the Ranks.
Right now he was weak, and couldn’t do anything. But the future he had seen through the system would come soon and to change that devasting future he needed to work hard.
When Carcel, Mia, and Lara saw Alec leaving they also followed behind him.
They don’t have talent like Alec but they didn’t want to slack off and blame everything on talent, because talent is not everything, if one doesn’t work hard even if they have the talent they won’t be able to achieve great heights.
When they left the class, a lot of students followed behind them because no one wanted to be left behind.
After a while, Alec entered the training area. A large open ground around the size of two football fields appeared before his vision.
On one side of the training ground, there were hundreds of dummies, that were perfect for those who focus on close combat.
The training dummies were made of (B)-Rank material, an extremely tough metal that could even withstand the impact of an (A)-Rank attack. And students could train against them freely without worrying about breaking them.
On the other side, a lot of bullseye targets were present for those who specialize in long-range combat.
The middle part of the training ground was empty, meaning that it did not have anything. Basically, it was an area that everyone could use to practice whatever skill and art they wanted to practice.
After seeing the training ground Alec directly went for the dummies and started practicing. Just a few minutes later Carcel also entered the training ground and seeing Alec working so hard, he clenched his spear and also went for the dummies.
On the other hand, Lara and Mia made their way toward the long-range area. After a few seconds, many more students entered the training grounds and started practicing their specific skills.
