While the HRS class was in the gym, still practicing lifting weights, some of the other lower ranking classes were out in the middle of the hallway, standing in front of the vice principal, Ms. Kay. Unlike the HRS class, the lower ranking students didn't do too much physical activities. Instead, they were taught the laws of the world as it would be beneficial for them to know this before attempting to start gaining power. Sure, it wasn't necessary, but school's teach unnecessary things all of the time, and this academy was no different.

"Welcome classes 13 and 14. You might be wondering why we are out here in the middle of the hallway. It is because today I will teach you about a special ability some people have that I think you should know about. It's called Imbuement."

The students looked around at each other, all wondering the same thing. They had never heard of Imbuement before. Most students in this academy had at least heard of most abilities, so this one caught their interest. One student raised his hand and asked the question everyone was wondering.

"I've never heard of that before. What is it? What does it do?"

"Simply put, Imbuement is something that some high ranking cultivators can do, however, no cultivator in history has every actually implemented it correctly."

"What does that mean?"

"Well, Imbuement lets you imbue a specific item with a great power. Its theorized that something that has been imbued with this ability becomes unfathomably powerful, but the problem is that no cultivator has ever had enough power to actually pick up what they had imbued, or even move something that has been imbued for that matter."

A girl then raised her hand, wondering about the Hero Foundation. Surely the heroes there were capable of doing so.

"What about the Hero Foundation? They are so strong, can't they do it."

"It may be surprising, but there has never been any confirmation that anyone on Earth has every been able to move something that has been imbued. I'm sure you're wondering why, and truth be told, we don't exactly know. That's probably why you haven't heard of Imbuement before. We don't really talk about it too much because its basically a useless power some cultivators have acquired. Still though, I think it's good knowledge to have about the world."

The student from earlier spoke up again, raising his hand in the air to get Ms. Kay's attention.

"Can you use Imbuement?"

"I can. Let me give you a visual example."

Ms. Kay looked around. She was looking for something to imbue. The door to the women's bathroom caught her attention as it was the nearest thing to her. She walked up to it and placed her right hand on it. It almost immediately started to sparkle with a yellow light which made the students gasp in amazement. Ms. Kay removed her hand from the door and turned back to the students.

"I have imbued the door, now watch."

Ms. Kay grabbed the handle, but it wouldn't move. The door wouldn't budge and it was completely unable to be opened.

"Does anyone else here want to give it a shot?"

A student stood up and placed her hand on the handle, but just like when Ms. Kay did it, it wouldn't open. She shrugged and walked back to where she was before. Another student stood and attempted to open it as well, but once again, it wouldn't open. Just like the previous student, he walked back to where he was.

"As you can see. It will not budge no matter what. Like I said, we don't exactly know why, although there have been some theories that to open this door, one must achieve a nirvana-like state."

The word "nirvana" carried a certain connotation in this world. Most people automatically assumed that someone who had achieved nirvana had achieved godhood and transcended the mortal plain to a state of absolute power. These students also believed this, so they began to wonder how anybody could possibly be able to use such an ability. Similarly to before, one student raised his hand and commented on this.

"Nirvana? Like, omnipotence?"

"I wouldn't say omnipotence exactly. Maybe I used the wrong wording. Basically, researchers believe that to be able to move something that has been imbued, one would need to have a perfect mind body and soul."

"So they would have to be a perfect being?"

"Perfect in the sense of power. They wouldn't necessarily need perfect morality, but they would have had to achieve the peak of cultivation. Their mind body and soul would be at that point that is theoretically "perfect" if that makes sense."

The students began to understand little by little. What they understood more than anything was that they would never be able to open that door.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"What if we just try to use our own strength instead of magic?"

"We aren't even sure if the theory I explained is true or not. It's a theory for a reason. Cultivation allows us to access powers far beyond physical strength, why do you think the world has changed so much since we discovered it? What I'm trying to get at here is that relying on physical strength in this world won't get you far, and it definitely won't get you to move something that has been imbued."

"How heavy is something that has been imbued?"

"Imbuement isn't something that can be measured with strength. I know it doesn't really answer your question, but unfortunately, that's just the way it is. Imbuement is a fundamental law of the world. Using strength to open this door would require you to literally rewrite the laws of the world."

The students realized how serious this Imbuement ability really was. They couldn't believe that some cultivators just so happened to be able to use an ability that was directly tied to the laws of the world. It didn't matter much since they couldn't use the ability in any meaningful way, but still, the idea alone was shocking.

Meanwhile, in the gym, Mrs. Gaud looked at a clock on the wall and faced the students who were still lifting weights. She began to speak up so that everyone could here her.

"Alright everyone! We should head back to class now. We will watch a few videos on cultivation, and then we'll have lunch."

The students lowered the weights they were lifting and started to leave the gym. Saneko sighed and stood up from the bleachers. As she walked to the doors, she passed Chloe who was still on the ground. A few students had gathered around to help take her concrete-encased shoes off, but they wouldn't budge. They grunted as they pulled on the shoes as hard as they could.

"Just a little more! They're so close to coming off, I can feel it."

Saneko chuckled to herself as she saw the scene. As she walked, she snapped her fingers, and the concrete around Chloe's feet crumbled off. The student pulling on the shoe froze in place and looked down at his hands.

"Holy crap. I'm stronger than I thought."

Chloe looked away and stood up, knowing very well what had happened. She smiled softly at the students who had gathered around to help her.

"Thank you for your help."

"No problem."

"Yeah, anytime."

Walking past them, she thought about how she wanted to keep her distance from Saneko, but she didn't know if it was the best option to do so. What if Saneko was still mad? She was extremely paranoid. She saw Saneko exit the gym and thought that maybe she was safe for now.

Of course, the only thing on Saneko's mind was thinking about how the other students were so ignorant to her powers. She convinced herself that it was willful ignorance, and in a way, she was right. The students definitely saw her on the news, but refused to believe someone in their class, let alone Saneko, was that strong. It was a vicious and repetitive cycle of Saneko trying to be cool, and her classmates ignoring her.

As they entered the HRS class, Saneko returned to her seat in the back of the class, right next to the window. This seat was perfect because it always reminded her of how powerful she was. Good thing she's not full of herself though, right?

Chloe, who was a ways back, cautiously stepped into the classroom. She sat back down, hoping that Saneko wouldn't cause her any trouble. Unbeknownst to her, Saneko didn't want anything to do with her anyway.

Mrs. Gaud walked to her desk and powered on the projector. She was scrolling on her computer, trying to find videos about cultivation. She wanted the rest of the class to be easy for the students since they had been in the gym for quite a while. She pressed on a video, and the class started watching it. Saneko wasn't paying attention though, she just kept looking out of the window. She looked at the sun through the window and started fantasizing about being on a throne, being the president of the world. A very unrealistic and childish dream, but this is Saneko we're talking about.

"Hehe. Any day now I will achieve my goals and the world will know the name Demon Babe."

"Sure they will."

The voice was coming from a familiar spiritual presence behind her. Saneko loved attention, but talking to the air would just make her look crazy, completely ignorant to the fact the class already thought she was crazy. Regardless, Saneko decided to speak telepathically.

"What are you doing here N?"

"I came to scold you. You haven't been feeding your cat."

"My what?"

"DYINGLIGHT!"

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that thing."

"Already?"

Saneko shrugged and put her elbow on the desk, resting her face against her hand.

"I'll feed it later."

"No you won't. You'll forget. And besides, your mom has gotten so attached to that cat that she already fed it."

"See, it's fed. What's the problem?"

"That's not the problem! It's your cat, therefore its your responsibility."

"Stop acting so mature. You're a little girl."

"I died a little girl, but I've been around for thousands of years as a spirit."

Saneko was about to argue back, but she started feeling an all too familiar sensation. She held her stomach near her bladder and began to look uncomfortable.

"Oh geez. Let me guess, you had a banana smoothie earlier."

"Some girl named Kara or something gave me one earlier."

Saneko didn't even care to learn Chloe's name. She hated her anyway. But when offered with someone who would do anything for her, she couldn't help but use the generous offer to gain a precious banana smoothie.

"Just use the bathroom. Why are you holding it?"

"I was going to alright."

Saneko stood up and sauntered over to the door, standing tall and proud. She opened the door, and as soon as she exited, she started running towards the bathroom. She turned a corner and saw a bunch of lower ranking students around the bathroom.

"Crap! A big ass line!"

One of the students overheard Saneko's exclamation and turned to her.

"No, this isn't a line. It's just..."

Saneko didn't let the student finish his sentence. Just knowing it wasn't a line was all she needed to know. She zoomed past the students, pushing some of them out of the way.

"HEY!"

Saneko opened the door and ran into the bathroom. All of the students', including Ms. Kay's jaws hit the floor. They stared in shock at the door Saneko had just walked through for what felt like an hour. After about a minute had passed, a toilet flushing sound was heard and Saneko walked out with a satisfied grin on her face. She walked past everyone, and as she walked, they turned to face her, their jaws still dropped.

As Saneko walked back to the HRS class she turned to see that the students were still staring at her.

"Hmm. I suppose my overwhelming fashion and beauty caught the attention of everyone. If only they acknowledged my power the same way."
