After having explored the system for a few hours he decided to try and get some sleep, he laid down on the bed and quickly fell asleep not having slept in a proper bed for years.

When he finally managed to wake up, he was faced with a disowned teacher, most of the staff were disowned and owned by higher ranking awakened. Just like normal disowned, they were also abused, and with the power of an awakened one behind them slaves abused disowned. So, the first thing he did was grab Jacob by his collar and lift him.

Jacob having just woken up was surprised by this series of events so he instinctually used the Fuse in his body to protect himself, the amount of said Fuse had grown naturally through the night which only an awakened can do. This shocked the teacher and he quickly placed Jacob on the ground.

"I am so sorry sir I didn't know you were awakened I apologize please spare my life," the teacher said as he bowed to Jacob who was still perplexed.

"What are you talking about sir I'm not awakened?"

"Sir I'm sorry if I offended you but there's no need to joke like this, awakened have a purer fuse surrounding them plus if you weren't a Blessed your fuse wouldn't have grown overnight," said the teacher while trembling.

"This is so strange" Jacob having slept in his only other set of clothes which were a baggy plain shirt with different insects decorating it and a pair of nice sweatpants started walking outside of his room while noticing that any staff would immediately bow to him. Jacob didn't know what else to do so he headed to the nurse's office to wake up Nathan so they could head to class.

After walking for a while Jacob arrived at the nurse's office before going to the nurse's desk.

The nurse a disowned was looking down on some paperwork so she didn't look at Jacob while talking to him thinking he was just a regular kid.

"Hi, mam I was just wondering where I could find Nathan."

"Hey kid do I look like an assistant, I'm busy just go to one of the tents and look for-" Having finally looked at Jacob she saw the Pure Fuse around him.

"I am so sorry sir, allow me to help you find him," she said while avoiding eye contact with Jacob.

She then led him to where Nathan was, Nathan very clearly not having received any attention other than making sure he was breathing.

"Mam"

" Yes," said the nurse while shaking.

" Why hasn't he received any attention?"

" I am so sorry I'll help him immediately" The nurse then proceeded to use a potion to wake him up.

After Nathan woke up Jacob led him to their room so they could get ready for class. But once they got into the room, they noticed a teacher was standing in the room looking at the terrarium.

"You must be Jacob and I'm assuming the boy next to you is your servant?" said the teacher never looking up from the terrarium.

"Who are you?"

"I am the official in charge of students, whether that means accepting them or kicking them out," he said finally looking up at Jacob and Nathan

" Well then Professor what are you doing in our room."

"Your room? This is a room for Disowned, I should be asking what a blessed is doing in this school" The official said as he started looking at Jacob and examining him.

"Well, I'm a student here what else would I be doing here,"

"Mh? You a disowned? Well, the reports do say that, but you are not one at least not anymore so sadly you don't qualify to attend this school" he said as he looked over a clipboard.

"If I'm not a disowned anymore then what do I do next"

"Through the emperor's decree all newly awakened as long as they awakened after the age of 12 will be rewarded a decent sum of money to make up for being abused as a disowned, but after that, it is up to you," he said while leaving the room.

Jacob didn't know what to do next, but he knew he couldn't live in the slums anymore, so using his newly acquired funds he purchased a moving company to take the terrarium into a 1 bed, 1 bath apartment he barely managed to afford.

Jacob now lying down in his new apartment was debating everything that had happened in 24 hours, but he knew that to keep living as an awakened he needed a plan.

"Well, I guess I would like to enroll in a school now. But I doubt I can afford that" he said while looking at his empty wallet.

"I guess I'll have to make some money before the school year arrives," he said thanking that the school the emperor had designed started a few months earlier than most schools did.

"Nathan, how about we go make some money in the slums, I've always wanted to control one of the few gangs located in the slums."

Nathan had been mistaken as Jacobs's servant and as such was not qualified to be enrolled in the school either, but he didn't mind as he knew servants would attend school alongside their masters to help them.

"Let's go after the only gang run fully by disowned, it should help you test out your new power," Nathan said while looking at a map of the slums that he always carried with him.

'I'll have time to test out my new parasites and maybe increase my swarm' thought Jacob as he was preparing to leave.

Both of the boys had purchased new black suits with matching dress pants which were commonly used in battles as they were infused with Fuse and self-repaired themselves.

Jacob and Nathan then left for the slums in a cab. Both the boys were nervous as they had never participated in anything more than scuffles between the Disowned living in the slums with them
