After the introduction and the room arrangements were done, we all went to our respective rooms. The room arrangements were as followed, Rodrigo and Doto shared a room, the twins Kekkei and Genkai shared a room, the two girls Matabi and Himawari in another room, while I was sharing a room with Karin. Since there are two beds in each room and the boy to girl ratio is high so Karin will share a room with me
Karin is sitting on her bad with her legs pressing her chest, leaning on the wall behind her and her head lowered. I am also sitting on my bed facing her
Me: ‘This is awkward’
Asmodeus: ‘Talk to her boya’
Me: ‘I’m not that great at handling girls and will you please stop calling me boya’
Asmodeus: ‘Give me a reason to stop calling you boya then I will’
Me: ‘What reason do you want?’
Asmodeus: ‘By showing me that you’re a man’
Me: ‘How?’
Asmodeus: ‘Fulfil you’re lustful desires with Seira, only then will I consider you a man’
Me: ‘…...’
Just by hearing her name my face instantly turned red and a creepy grin appeared on my face. Seeing the sudden change in my behaviour, Karin got anxious. Looking at her agitated face I begin to say
Me: “How have you been?”
Instead of answering, she looked down while blushing
Asmodeus: ‘You suck at picking up chicks’
Me: ‘I’m not trying to pick up anyone. I trying to do some small talk’
Asmodeus: ‘But you do need a lot of practice boya’
Me: ‘I am not trying to--- Never mind’
Having had enough of Asmodeus, I decided to lay down and go to sleep

The next morning, all of us in housing unit 62 got ready for our first day for schooling. We made our way to the first class, which was History. When I entered the classroom, I saw that the class was already somewhat full with students and a female teacher standing in front of the class
She looked to be in her mid-sixties, grey hair and black eyes and dressed as a grandma. She looks at us entering and says
???: “You kids are from housing unit 62. Correct?”
Rodrigo was the one who responded. Since his the oldest, he has taken the leader position
Rodrigo: “Yes we are”
???: “Good. I was waiting for you. I am Lana Gmail you’re History teacher. Now which one of you is Lanza?”
Me: “That would be me”
Lana: “The headmaster wishes to see, can you go there now?”
Me: “Yes”
After answering her, I turn around and exit the room and make my way to the headmaster’s office. I arrive outside his door and
*Knock Knock*
Frantelle: “Who is it?”
Me: “It’s Lanza. You called for me”
Frantelle: “Ah yea. Please enter”
I enter his office. He gestures for me to sit on a chair. When I sit down, he starts to talk
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
Frantelle: “Lanza, do you know why I called you here”
I shook my
Frantelle: “Well you see, James has told me a lot about you. About you’re strength and power. So I thought that it would be a waste to have you study with the other students”
Me: “So what will I be doing then?”
Frantelle: “I’m going teach you personally”
Me: “Why me”
Frantelle: “No reason in particular. If you don’t want to then you don’t have to”
Should I take him up on the offer? It would be better than going to these boring classes and listening to stuff that I already know. But why does he want to ‘personally’ teach me?
Me: “Make me an offer that I cannot refuse”
He leans forward in his chair, while resting his elbows on the table and putting his hands under his chin. With a grin on his face, he says
Frantelle: “How bout you make me an offer to take you in as my personal apprentice”
Why should I. In terms of knowledge, mine exceeds his. In terms of power, I out match him. The only thing he has more than me is experience
Me: “Then if you’ll excuse me”
I stand and start to walk towards the door, just then Frantelle slammed the table while standing up and in a loud voice said
Frantelle: “WAIT!”
I stopped in my tracks and gaze back at him
Frantelle: “I want you to teach me”
Me: “Come again”
Frantelle: “I want you to teach me how to manipulate pure mana”
So that’s it. Pure mana is almost impossible to manipulate or move throughout the body. People just convert it into attribute mana and then use it for spells. Right now, only I can use its full potential. Many have tried before to control it but failed. That’s because they didn't have the knowledge that I have
Me: "What makes you think that i know how, in the first place?"
Frantelle: "James told me"
How the hell does he know, anyway that doesn't matter right now
Me: “So the master wants to become the student”
Frantelle: “Yes. Will you please teach me?”
Me: “Does it not hurt you’re pride to ask a child to be your teacher?”
Frantelle: “No”
I rise a brow and with I grin and say
Me: “Ho. And why is that”
Frantelle: “Age is only but a number”
I like that response
Me: “But why should I help you”
Frantelle: “You give me what I want and I’ll give you anything you want. Of course nothing unreasonable”
Having someone like him owe me a favor will prove to be beneficial in the future
Me: “Fine. What I want is--”
