In the morning, I did some light exercises. Back in the earth, I’m not really an athletic type of person. But I do have some coaches that help my body to stay fit. I had a high blood so I needed to always do some light exercises. Anyway, after my warm up, I didn’t see my father. I asked grace and told me that my father went to the kingdom’s castle early. I think, he will do some follow-up investigation on what happened.
I wonder, how Milan and Thomas doing. Can they use the power of tremor-tremor fruit? Damn.. I need to ask them soon. I need to research on them on how will they use their power so I can guide my sister. But I only gave them each half of the tremor-tremor fruit. Will the half tremor-tremor fruit work? Does the devil fruit will consume mana?
Or does the devil fruit need mana in the first place?
I wish I have an ability like some sort of Albert Einstein. I have never been interested in investigating or analyzation. I’m not really an intelligent type of person although I’m good when it comes to computation.
I saw Grace walked in the balcony, “Grace!” I shouted and she immediately moved her head towards my direction.
When she's in front of me, “Yes, Master Lee? Is there anything I can help you with?” She said after bowing her head in a graceful way.
“You’re as beautiful as ever..” I said in a low tone while smiling at her. Yeah, I'm a suave.. I don't have a deep voice tho.
“I’m sorry? Master Lee?” She said as her eyes widen. And she looks quite confused. I don't see her cheeks blushing or anything like that. Looks like I’m not that handsome.. Oh, I forgot I’m a kid.
“No no it's nothing, please tell to these people to see me, as soon as possible..” I said as if nothing happened and handed out a piece of yellow paper.
…
While on my way to the school, I see the landscape and learn other information about this city. This city has a zero crime rate. That’s the reason Grace allowed me to go to the school by myself. All people who enter here should under by some big shot. No one had successfully infiltrated this city yet. This city has some sort of barrier and strong protection squad that will kill or capture the infiltrator. I didn’t even notice that there's barrier. If there’s someone here that have the same strange powers like mine, it will be not surprising.
Most of the people that passing wear fancy dress or some knight shining armor.
After some time, I saw the small boat that could accommodate up to twenty people. Aside from the maneuverer of the boat, most of the people inside were a teenager and some were the same age as me.
I don't know the reason but I think my eye patch on the left eye catches their attention. As soon as I enter, most of them were snatching a curious glance at me. Maybe I'm quite famous? No, I don't think so. But some girls were blushing. So, Am I a handsome after all?
To be honest, I'm quite excited. I'm going to be a student again. But something was wrong, the other student didn’t even stand up nearby. All them were cramped on the other side. My murder looking face took some effect again.
When we arrived, the student exit in a quite fast pace. I'm the last person who’ve exit.
I didn’t bother to think other people. I went directly to the freshman’s building. When I was walking, the corridors were full of strange plants. I was quite surprised by it because it didn't look like a jungle. It was more on a green type of modern building.
I’ve been charmed by the interior design of the buildings. I forgot that I’m a bit late. I walked in a fast pace to my school room. I opened the door immediately that seems quite noisy. I saw the students was also wearing a fancy dress of nobles. The classroom was set up by having a long arc-shaped desk and chair that positioned from lowest to highest. There was also a long rectangular white board in my front and an elegant brown chair.
As soon as I arrived, the time seems to stop. They just looking at me in awe or maybe they’re disgusted. I’m not sure but I think my eye patch caught their attention again. I wanted to seat on the front but these kids block the long ass chair some even laid down. I don’t have a choice and just sit alone at the back. After a few seconds, the kids suddenly became noisy again. I think going to school at my age was a bad choice.
A few minutes later, our teacher arrived. He’s a bit Tan, a slim build Middle age man that has quite a few wrinkles on his beardless face.

“Good Morning, New Students!” He said in a high pitch tone. I saw some of the kids or should I say, classmates, they’re laughing secretly but it’s obvious.
“Ohoho, Look like you’re an energetic bunch. Before you laugh, I just want to inform you that you’re in the top school of the kingdom. You’ve been selected because you are qualified and most of you are nobles. I know some of you know this.. But the thing is..” He said again in a high pitch tone but I felt the pressure went up.
“From first year to second year, that is the highest drop rate, the drop rate is 76.66%..” He said and the pressure seems gone. All my classmates became silent and they looked quite serious.
“Hahaha! I’m Blane Lake nice to meet you. I’m going to be your teacher this year, our discussion will be more on the Monster's Anatomy.”
…
The Monster's Anatomy was quite an interesting subject. Blane informs us some of the weakness and different type of monsters. Still, I don’t have any seatmates. Do I look that terrifying? I know they’re kids but still it will feel a bit better if I can talk to some of them.
After half an hour, a new teacher came. If I’m not mistaken we only have two classes on this day. The lady wears a long velvet colored sleeves and a long white skirt. Some of her hair is gray but her face has no signs of aging. Maybe it’s just some sort of make-up. She has an Oval shape face and a bulbous nose. Also, she’s wearing round eyeglasses.
Unlike my first subject, my classmates became silent when they saw her. Looks like this new teacher is quite famous.
She looked at us for a moment and sat to the teacher’s sit on the front. “I know that all of you know me and you’re quite lucky to have me as your teacher in your very first year. I pick this class because there is a special case. I will not introduce myself.. Well.. Is there anyone of you who don’t know me?” She said in a quite proud manner. Looks like this lady is one of those full of herself.
I raised my right hand immediately. Well, she asked and I absolutely no idea who was her.
Her eyes widen in disbelief and cough a few times. “Are you sure? Boy eye patch?” She said while some of my classmates laughed after they hear the eye patch word. I nodded immediately as I looked at her.
“Ok, I still don’t know you all.. Sorry for making that alias.. Anyway, I’m Cate from the legendary family of Moon. And I will be your teacher in the field of Magic. I’m sure that all of you can use magic.. Well, how could you passed the exam if you don’t know how to use magic.. Is there any question?” She said and winked at my female classmate on the front. If I’m not mistaken that girl should be the special case.
I raised my hand again. “What is your question? And what is your name?” She said.
“I’m Lee from Sevarius Family.. And I can’t use magic..” I said and forced myself to smile. All my classmates laughed hard.
“Why do you even have a magic class?”
“How is it possible that he passed the exam..”
“Damn, weak rich family.. That’s cheating!”
“Why am I scared of him? I thought he was strong!”
I heard some of my classmates murmuring and I’m quite shocked by it. They still kid after all or they’re just too competitive.
“Cough, Cough.. Well, that make sense you’re from famous Sevarius family. Just like your father who can’t use magic.. We will begin our lesson now!” She said in a quite loud and looked fiercer than before. I think they had some bad history with my father. Father, for the god sake, what did you do to her.. Don’t tell me.. No it should be impossible..
I learned in our discussion that all the people should have mana core. The people who can’t use magic have only a little mana core, that’s the reason they can’t use magic. Of course, the bigger your mana core is, the more powerful your magic are. But the thing is, the mana core size is inborn talent. You can’t increase the size of your mana core or maybe they still don’t know how to increase it in any other way. It will just increase naturally until you reach twenty-eight years old. The mana core also has different nature such as fire, water, and other element.
…
“I will show to you how lucky you are, Lee come up here! and my honorable student Mira please come up.” She said. My classmates became noisy when they heard the name, Mira. Sigh, Another famous person came up. What is this teacher trying to do..
I stand and I’m speechless when I saw Mira. She has a ruby-red hair and it tumbled over her shoulders. A pair of arched eyebrows looked down on sweeping eyelashes. A straight nose and full lips. And I don’t know if it just me but I should be an old man but I think I’ve been attracted to a kid. Yeah, It sounds gross but hey, I’m in the body of a kid.
“I want you two to have a little sparring.. If anything goes wrong I will stop it immediately don’t go overboard, Mira. Alright, class, I will show to you how special you are.” She said and I saw her smirked at me before she went down. My hunch was correct she do have some not good history with my father.
Should I defeat her? Or should I stay low key for a moment? But I don’t want to lose.. Ok, I think I should give her at least a hard time.
I saw her did some who knows stance but she was still looked beautiful. I heard our teacher clap her hands. That was our cue. Mira hands were full of fiery looking fire and threw it a couple of times at me.
I used my flash steps and dodged all the fireballs in a very efficient way. I only moved a bit just enough to dodge the fireball. After a few seconds, I think it was enough. I crossed my forearms to block the big fireball and act like I was hit solidly.
I laid my body on the ground and made them believe that I was knockout.
Many of the students clap their hands as soon as I was knock out. Some even shouted that they do love Mira.
There was a footstep, “Ok that’s enough, He’s still breathing and looks fine. That’s the end of the class. You may now leave.”
I don’t know if she knows that I’m fine or not. But most of my class left the class.
Alright, I think no one’s around. When I get up, “Should I say Are you all right?.. or nice acting?” A soft voice from my back suddenly said.
Why I didn’t notice her..
