Looking at these skills, I can say that they are more oriented to playing with your opponent's mind. The passive skills are somewhat situational except for strong senses, as they will help me in battles.

If I think about it carefully, this transformation is intended for 1vs1 combat. In a sense, it's like those teams made for PVP.

* Alright, what shall we name this Kawaii sword?

* Ki? (・3・)

* How about "Illusion"

* Ki! \_(-_-)_/

* Well, "Illusion" it is.

Now that it's decided, it's time to rest.

As much as I want to try this sword, I'm too tired to try it, and I want to rest. I'LL TRY IT once I get up and eat something, but I want to sleep right now.

So I go to my sleeping bag, take the cork out of the repellent bottle and go to bed.

* ... shit... I need to take a bath... who cares... tomorrow I'll take a bath in the lake... *sigh* good night...

* ... (˶‾᷄ -̫ ‾᷅˵)

...

The following day, the sun rises and illuminates the small cave I was in. It aims at my eyes with Machiavellian precision, causing me to wake up.

* *yawn* sun of the underworld, did you have to point your rays of light in the direction of my eyes to wake me up?

* .. ꒡⌓꒡

* *yawn* good morning, Kawaii. Hey, I don't want to get out of bed... what do you say we skip school today?

* Ki!!! (˶‾᷄ -̫ ‾᷅˵)

* Well said, what does it matter that I miss a day of school? It's not like I work at the academy.

* Ki? ò_ô

* Shhh, let's keep sleeping...

* ...

* Wait a minute... I AM THE COACH!

I get up from the sleeping bag with a jump, take butcher out of the inventory, and grab Kawaii.

Possession!

I transform into my vulture version and jump off the mountain to Fanfer City.

* Shit! How could I forget the alarm clock? I should have bought one when I set up the place to sleep! Now I can't buy one in the "αβΩ SYSTEM" because I'm in combat mode.

* Ki! ψ(｀∇')ψ

* Does seeing me in distress amuse you?

* Ki! (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞

* ...I have a feeling that you look more and more like me every day.

* Kii!!! | (- ◡-)|

While I'm in the air, I take out the inventory map to guide me so I don't get lost on the way. I also watch the ground below me to make sure there aren't any monsters that want to attack me from behind.

I see that I'm getting closer to the city, but it will take a long time for me to get there. Besides, I no longer have the altitude to continue gliding through the air, so I descend to the ground and switch to a butcher for the illusion of having a little more stamina and agility.

That done, I continue running in a straight line towards the city.

...

20 minutes later, I see the entrance to the city, a huge line of merchants wanting to enter through the gate.

Since I don't have time to line up and wait, I ignore it and continue running towards the entrance, ignoring the shouts of the merchants waiting in line.

* Hey! You can't jump the line.

* Yes! Go to the back and wait like the rest of us!

* Sorry, but I'm late for work

* Guard 1: Stop! Get back in line!

* I'm late for work!

* Guard 1: I said get back in line!

* And I tell you I'm late for work, dry shit, I'll pay the fine later!

* Guard 1: I warned you!

At that, the guard points a spear in my direction, and it begins to glow with a green light and then throws it at me.

Wush!

The spear goes flying and causes a buzzing sound in the air, so I slide down and point my sword at the green spear.

Focused slash!

I unleash my ability at full power, and it hits in its entirety, causing it to stop the attack and split the spear in half.

This scene causes people to be stunned, which I take advantage of to continue running towards the entrance and go through the door.

* I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry. I'll pay the fine and the breaking of your spear in the afternoon, I swear!

Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

That said, I continue my way north towards the academy.

When the guards notice that I had already disappeared, they react again and head towards the fellow who threw the spear.

* Guard 3: Hey... are you okay?

* Guard 1: ...

* Guard 2: Hey, react!

* Guard 1: ... that guy... not only nullified my attack but also broke my spear.

* Guard 2: We know...

* Guard 1: ... How did he do it?

* Guard 3: No idea, but he said he'd be back to pay the fine. Maybe you can ask him when he gets back.

* Guard 1: ... I hope so...

* Guard 2: Yes... in any case, we continue with the work.

After that conversation, the guards returned to work, pretending that the previous event had not happened.

...

Meanwhile, I continued running towards the academy, avoiding all the pedestrians I met on the way, including bisonforte, who was transporting merchandise.

Meanwhile, I continued running towards the academy, avoiding all the pedestrians I met on the way, including bisonforte, who was transporting merchandise.

After 13 minutes, I see the entrance to the academy and Bob, who turns in my direction when he hears the sound of my shoes on the cobblestones.

* Bob: Huh? Marco?! What are you doing outside? Shouldn't you be working?

* I'll tell you later! Now move, I don't have time!

Bob moves out of my way at my shouts as I speed past him. At that, the intruder alarm on the door goes off, and the Ent from the forest rushes out to stop me.

* Eeegghhh!!!

* Either get out of my way, or I'll rip them in half!

When the forest Ent sees me, they immediately turn away from me and flee into the bushes from whence they came, as if they have spotted their natural predator.

While in the distance, Bob watches this scene and is speechless, wondering if these are really the Ent of the forest, which is known for not being afraid of anything but fire.

Meanwhile, I keep running towards the back of the "Effort Center", and I reach my destination after much effort.

* *aff* *aff* *aff* *aff* at last *aff* *aff* *aff* *aff* *aff* *aff* *aff* *uff*

With that said, I collapse on the floor face down while the students watch me curiously.

At that, Kawaii comes out of his bag and starts to ventilate my head with his little paws, which is adorable but useless. God, I feel like I've done a marathon. This is worse than a hangover because I didn't eat anything since I was in a hurry.

Then suddenly, a student comes up to me.

* .. are you, all right?

At this student's question, I start to lift my head off the floor, look at the student with green hair, and answer him.

* ..

* Alfonso?!

* Well, Mauricio, I want you to understand this. An hour ago, I woke up. I couldn't take a bath, I couldn't have breakfast, and besides, I had to run a marathon to get here, so wait a minute...

* But what about the class...

* Antonio, I'm tired, hungry and sweaty, so if they could wait an hour for me, they can wait for another, so, if they don't want to see a pissed off beast, they'll let me rest!

With that said, I drop my head against the floor to catch my breath again, causing the green-haired student to remain in his motionless position, not knowing how to react to my comment.

...

After 5 minutes of rest, I recover some of my stamina, so I get up from the floor and notice that the students are strangely watch me.

* I have recovered some energy, but I still need to shower, so I go to the shower, and when I come back, I will eat something.

* All: Huh?!

* I'm sorry, but I have to recover completely, in the meantime I'll pass you some sheets that I need you to sign, they are to confirm those who want to be in my class and those who don't, it's nothing bad, but I need you to sign them. When I come back from the showers, I will take the sheets. For those who want to be in my class, I will help them with everything, and those who don't want to can leave, but I need everyone to sign the corresponding sheet. That said, I will take a bath. Let's go, Kawaii.

* Ki! ٩( ๑╹ ꇴ╹)۶

After saying that, I take Kawaii and go to the men's showers to take a bath and change my clothes while the students exchange glances with each other, the sheets I gave them, and I walk away.

* Boy 1: Is that guy our coach?

* Girl 2: He looks like it, but he doesn't look trustworthy.

* Girl 3: He said he overslept, and I had to run for an hour to get to the academy. What kind of lie is that? Does he think we're stupid?

* Boy 2: Exactly, not even if I was living in a mountain, no one in their right mind would sleep in the mountains when there are plenty of inns in the city.

* Girl 1: I'm not going to be in this guy's class. Give me that document to sign.

While all this was going on, I was quietly bathing with Kawaii in the showers of the academy, washing off all the sweat and dirt that accumulated from the day before until today morning without hearing about the talk the students had about me.

Once I finished the shower, I took out a box of food. I began to devour it with such fervour that I looked like an animal that had not eaten all day. When I finished it, I was already back where the students were, only now there was no one except for 1 student holding the leaves.

It was the same green-haired student who asked me if I was okay. It seems that only he stayed out of the 20 students in this class.

* I already guessed that many students didn't want me to be their trainer. I don't blame them, but I guess only you want to train.

* ..

* Okay, first give me the sheets, after that, we will start the training, let's see... Hey, you missed signing the acceptance sheet. Hurry up and sign it.

* ...yes.

With that done, I took the sheets and put them away while focusing all my attention on my only student in this class. His name is Theo, and he is a boy whose appearance is average, but he looks sincere.

Meanwhile, in Theo's mind, many thoughts were going through. He really didn't want to be in this class. His classmates took the refusal sheet and started passing it back and forth without giving him a chance to sign. Due to his kind nature, he waited until everyone finished signing, and then he finally got the sheet.

But just when he wanted to sign it, the trainer came and took the sheets and as he was the only one left, he thought he was the only one who wanted to learn, so he gave him the acceptance sheet to sign, added to the kind nature of Theo in a sense forced him to sign that sheet, thus becoming the only student in class 2B who agreed to be trained.

Little did he know that this little accident would be the key to becoming one of the strongest students in the academy, but that's another story.

Meanwhile, Marco led Theo to a more comfortable place to begin training.

* Marco: Alright, Theo, tell me what you are looking for.

* Theo: This... I want to be strong?

* Just like that? Think that through, is there a profession you want or do you like a particular weapon? Think about it.

When I ask that, Theo gets quiet and starts to think about what I just said, and after 2 minutes of thinking about it, I answer.

* Theo: I like swords and magic, I would like to use all the elemental attributes, but the skill limit doesn't allow me to. The most I could learn would be four elemental magic skills and train swordplay. Still, I don't want to be limited to four elemental magics. I want to use them all!

* Well, in a way, it's not impossible.

* Theo: Of course it's impossible. I only have four slots for active skills. I can't learn all 13 elements!

* Actually, you can. It's just that you're not seeing the big picture.

* Theo: The big picture?

* Exactly, tell me something, have you heard about talismans?
