It was three weeks since that event. I was sent to the office with the three overconfident failures. Charlan smiled and tried to keep my situation happy and that it’s nothing to worry about. Though I’m pretty sure what I did is permanently going into my school records. I have no regret to what I did and am sentenced to a three-week suspension. The other three, however, were sentenced to a three-month suspension. I’m glad that I won’t see those three for the next three months. Unfortunately, Charlan had to pay the medical bills and write a few apology letter for Roger and his friends.

I had a chat that day after school with Rosaleen and Charlan. I was expecting to be punished, like how I used to in the orphanage, aka tons of butt wiping or aka sexual harassment. But to my surprise, they let me go to my room to get some rest. I was glad of that, and since I didn’t have any source of learning after that event, Ukos was told by Charlan to give me some lessons and work to keep up with the class. To their surprise, I was apparently as smart as Arcana, who was recommended to top-tier colleges. I doubt I’m that smart anyway.

I did return Lucine’s bento though. Though the moment I met her and gave it to her, she hugged me very tightly. I expected they used some kind of magic or item in the viewing category and saw what happened at my school, but I ignored it and returned her hug. After we both let go, I said, “It was one of the most delicious bento I’ve had ever tasted.” And the first.

The Maker: Ey, that’s one girl in the future wife lists.

Author: What are you doing now Maker?

The Maker: Making a list and rating them to see who fits Nameless more.

Author: That’s for Nameless to decide for the future.

The Maker: Hey, you don’t know if he needs help in the future.

Author: I know the future because I’m the one making this!

The Maker: Eh, I guess you’re right. I know the future anyways too.

Author: Then why are you writing that in the first place!

The Maker: I’m bored, OK!?

I continued to study more about special fighting techniques or anything that could help me in the future. After researching all of them, I decided to take anything related to weapons. I could take kendo, fencing, or any of the sort. I decided to do some kendo. I started with a basic bamboo sword, also known as a Shinai. Mostly used for training, but could be used as a weapon somehow. Sadly though, all of the bamboo swords I could see were adult sized, the same weight of a normal katana, 1.1-1.3 kg. Which I kind of struggled to use, since I’m not a strong person. I guess they were all mostly used by Lucine. I trained anyways, oh how I regretted it. On the 20th swing, I could barely hold it anymore. I had help later by Ukos, and get a smaller bamboo sword, kid-sized. I kinda hated it, but I had to use it to get any stronger. I’m only 12 years old, I still have lots of room to improve.

And that was all that happened during the three week period. Getting smarter and stronger. I’m glad for this and hope I can get much stronger somehow so I don’t get myself killed.

It was finally time, I got up as usual, but an hour earlier. I cleansed myself, put my uniform on, ate breakfast and went to school. I didn’t forget the most important thing, the bento. Apparently, it was already ready with a note on it saying,

“Big sis will get better just for you.” With a winky face beside all of that. I smiled and went to school.

I don’t know, but when I finally set my foot again on school grounds, I realized how much I missed it here. It has been only my first day, but I felt like I’ve made enough friends here that it felt like a year already. I walked to my class at the large school. This time, fortunately, I wasn’t as late, and everyone was still walking around the school grounds. All the students you can see were either getting ready for class or just hanging out before it even starts. At the entrance there were two people who I already knew, Lucas and Alex. They both looked around until they locked onto me. They smiled and came running to me.

“Nameless!” Alex yelled and hugged me.

“Hey guys, I missed you.” I answered to them running to me. Lucas came jogging to us.

“Geez, it felt like it was ages since we last met. Not only that, it felt like we’ve all known each other for decades.” Lucas sighed.

Then we went to class. Of course, we got some people staring down at us. Knowing I was the one who beat down one of their kind, but I didn’t care. I had people darkly stared down at me before, knowing that a lot more are doing it to me now doesn’t make a difference. However, it did affect Lucas and Alex a bit, making them anxious. Besides all of that though, Lucas and Alex, as we walked to class since it was like half a mile away, told me what had happened during the time I was gone.

“During lunch before what you did to Roger, our class got stared down a lot and the jocks didn’t let us outsiders into the cafeteria. Though it’s nothing to worry about, since Mr. Anderson expected this to happened, so he stared down the entire cafeteria for us and everyone went back to class after getting their fill.” Lucas said.

“We all been getting stared down by almost everyone in this school. It’s nuts really. It’s was at the point now that we all pretty much prefer staying and learning in class than be outside.” This I can expect to happen after hearing what Lucas said. We, outsiders, are pretty much outnumbered hugely by not only stronger but maybe smarter people. What I did might only have caused more havoc. Which is strategically worse.

Though we shouldn’t worry about that now. It was practically only the beginning of school. We should worry about it when it’s the middle of the school year. Where everyone isn’t getting as much hectic work than start and end. There we know, that they might do something.

We finally made it to our class, Lucas and Alex open the door for me, and as I walk in,

“Welcome back! Demon of the Outsiders!” I jumped a bit at the vibration of my classmates’ yells, and immediately everyone crowded around me. They picked me up and began marching towards my assigned seat. They sat me down, one pulling the chair for me. I thanked him within the yells of everyone and sat down. There were still a lot of noise until Alex screamed,

“Silence!” Everyone silenced. “Alright, since Nameless is back now, we can all finally rest assured that our firepower isn’t at the plummet.” Everyone in the class whispers in agreement. “This also means that if we have any trouble with certain math problems or whatnot, we got Nameless to help, right?” Then this time, Everyone yells in agreement, Lucas comes up.

“I’m still here!”

“You don’t count Lucas!” And everyone began laughing. A student comes in from behind the door and yells,

“Koro-sensei coming!”

“I heard that!” Mr. Anderson yelled, his footsteps coming closer. Alex yells an order,

“Teacher alert! Everyone in your assigned seats now!” Then just like that, everyone was in their seats. Mr. Anderson comes running in the class with a furious face.

“Now tell me, who the hell called me Koro-sensei?” Everyone remained silent. Mr. Anderson, realizing what he just said, calmed himself down and changed the subject.

“It seems you all look ready for class. Good. Oh.” He turned to me. “Welcome back Nameless, Charlan already informed me you are already all caught up in all the work. So you don’t have to worry.” Not worrying. “Unfortunately though, you’ve come back at the wrong time. I have got an announcement for you all.” Mr. Anderson puts out some papers and placed them on his class desk. “The student council has made an agreement with the female student council at the other school. To have the first P.E class for boys and girls.” There are already a lot of yells in our class. Alex makes a tisk sound.

“We already have fallen into their trap before realizing it.” I looked at him, but I agreed. I wasn’t that dumb to not realize that it’s a class of boys and girls. I still can remember what Arcana has told me when explaining history.

“Not all girls hate boys.” Hopefully, this class will be full of girls that don’t hate us. Hopefully.

The Maker: Yup, Nameless is dead.

Author: No, he’s not.

The Maker: Yes, he is.

Author: Want me to-

The Maker: I’m sorry.

Author: Good.

The Maker: Nameless is going to die! Amen! Ha!

Author: I’m going to kill you.

As we were dressing for P.E in the P.E locker rooms for boys, I chatted more with Alex and Lucas.

“Demon of the Outsiders… That’s actually a good name.” Alex makes a, “Hell ya!” motion to his body.

“See Lucas? Even Nameless likes his new titles.”

“I don’t know. It just sounds so edgy.”

“The edgier the better.” Alex gives a thumbs up. “Alrighty, I guess it’s time to tell Nameless how strong our class is overall.” I turned to Alex.

“Wait, you guys already had your inspections?” Like all schools, they give inspections. Your physicality, your magic rank, and your intelligence. They inspect you in many ways to give you the results.

“Yeah, though you’ll be pretty surprised. We have a total of 25 outsiders in our ranks, including me and Lucas. Every one of us is B-Magic Rank except me and Lucas.”

“What about you two?”

“We are both A-Magic Rank.” I opened my eyes surprised.

“Wait really? What type are they?” Oh, I haven’t explained this to you haven’t I? Remember the four main energies? Yes, they also tell you the type of energy you have within you. Depending on which type you are, you are more specialized in those certain types. For example, if you are ki based, you can learn things from the ki category a lot easily than others.

However, if you are a magic based, you learn and use everything at a balanced rate like others. Alex makes a smile,

“I’m ki and chakra based.” Yeah, you can be based on two or more categories.

“What about you Lucas?”

“Nothing special really. I’m magic based.”

“How are the others?” Alex puts out a list from one of his pockets.

“We got two spiritual based, five ki based including me, and two including me again chakra based. Everyone else is magic based.” Our group sounds more like an army than anything else. Most of us are made up of B-Magic Rank and nowhere under that. Alex smiles at this list.

“You have no idea how many formations we could use with this many people.”

“Formations? As in like defensive formation and stuff like that?”

“Yeah, I often play games that involved a lot of strategy, positioning, formations and tons of that. Most of the time those games give you roles to play as, either it’s a soldier, a lieutenant, or a commander. I play commander in all of those games.” So Alex is a leader type. Pretty obvious now since he was commanding our entire class earlier. Though one question came to my mind.

“Are any of our class experienced in combat? Or at least know how to use some magic?” Sadly, Alex nodded, no.

Knew it, didn’t think many of us would be skilled in combat. So even if most of us are B-Magic Ranked, we have limited option to how we could harm the other side.

“That reminds me, what magic rank are you Nameless?” I froze. I knew that someday or sometimes, someone is bound to ask me that question, and it’s going to be someone I know. Fortunately, though, most of our class are already done dressing and are outside the entrance to here. Alex and Lucas are the only ones here that will hear what I got to say.

Even though I met them for only a day worth, I still trusted them as much as they trusted me. So I told them. Not only how that I’m an F-Magic Rank, but also that it’s one of the reasons why I use to be an orphan as well.

After hearing what I said, they both nodded. Alex began to rub his head.

“Most of us were either left alone because our parents died. Your parents did leave you, but in that way? What kind of assholes are they?” Lucas sighed.

“Not only that, they preceded to mail you hate messages while you were already living in hell and just trying to survive.” I nodded. All three of us finished dressing and started to head outside to the halls. Alex gave me a pat on the back.

“Well, you don’t have to worry about being an F-Magic Rank.” I made a surprised look.

“What do you mean? Doesn’t that mean I’ll be next to useless?”

“What? No. You’re already strong. You are fearless, murderous, and don’t give a shit if the enemies are strong or not. All those traits alone is good enough to prove that you’re strong. Not only that, I have a feeling you already know how to fight. Well… we know that now since you told us that you fight a lot in the orphanage. Even against actual orphan kids who know how to use magic. Heck, you even said you’ve gotten to a point where you almost killed someone, which we saw you did three weeks ago. Not only to that rich boy, but to many others right? That’s already enough proof that you are capable fighting very strong people.” This gave me a lot of confidence. I was worried that they might dislike me for being a weak F-Magic Rank, but instead, they acknowledge me and told me how I was already strong in the first place. I smiled.

“Thanks, guys… I don’t know what to say.” Alex gave me a punch to the shoulder.

“Don’t worry about it. Besides, you’re our secret weapon. The one and the only person who will always promise a victory, right?”

“I don’t think I can keep that promise.” Lucas smiles.

“Well, we all can’t expect to win every battle. Besides, he’s not Excalibur.” Alex turns to Lucas.

“We will have to if it involves our lives.”

“That’s only if you manage to get us in a deadly situation.”

“I’m pretty sure we are going to get into one right now.” All three of us knew, no… the entire class. Out of all the classes, they chose us. One of the classes that haven’t even experienced battle yet, or yet fought together once. Some of us know how to fight, but if this involved team fighting, we would already be at a disadvantage. We all barely know each other's weaknesses or strengths. So in the end, all we can do is pray that these fights will be one on one. And a one where we can choose whoever will be the one stepping up.

We stepped out of the dressing room, to expectedly see our entire class there waiting for us at the hall. Alex took a deep breath.

“Alright, now is the time to fight everyone. I know that we didn’t prepare for this fight yet, but what we do know though is that this is P.E class. For all our safety, I hope we can get out of this alive before anything goes wrong. So, pray with me. That we all make it out of there unscathed.” And we did. We all prayed before heading out. If you want to know how we were praying, we just clapped our hands two times, leave them together, close our eyes, then pray.

We went back into the classroom, where Mr. Anderson stood waiting.

“So, are you all ready?” Everyone nodded. Mr. Anderson put out from his pocket what seemed like a stone with weird symbols, but we all knew what it was. A stone of teleportation. The name explains it all. Do you want a better explanation? The stone of teleportation use to be a normal stone, but can be turned into a teleportation object in the teleportation category. Usually the smaller the stone the better (Not too small), since it will take less paint and less effort to draw the symbols. Yes, certain symbols are needed for the stone to turn into a teleportation object. However, it gets more complicated since now this explanation also involves the Magic Tiers. All you should know for now is that you need to infuse the stone with certain amounts of magic, by a certain amount I mean a lot.

Mr. Anderson drops the stone, closed his eyes for a short moment, then opened them. The stone began to glow, it rose up and shined brightly. It did for another short moment and then expand and reshapes to a door sized and shaped portal. Then… we all walked in.

Oh, how to use the stone? To use the stone, you must close your eyes. Visualize in your mind where you want to go, say the name of the place, then there you go. Of course, it’s the same for portals since they can’t pass through certain barriers. And this method of teleportation is weaker, so it can’t travel as far either. Fortunately, though, it spent less mana.

I was the first to step in and come out. I looked around me, already knowing at first sight where we are and what this is. It was a colosseum, it looks like it at least, but a smaller version.

Everyone came out one by one. Finally, when everyone was out, the portal closed. Alex clapped his hands seven times, and everyone began to surround me until I was covered in sight.

When we were heading back from the dressing room, Alex told us a plan he had come up with.

“The plan is simple, hide Nameless from sight.”

“Why would we do that?” One random student in our class asked.

“I have a feeling those girls are going to make a deal with us. One of their deals is most likely making one of us their slaves.” Everyone murmurs as usual. “Well it’s simple, one of us are going to sacrifice for the Outsiders. It’s the matter of them choosing one someone that is not important or is our secret weapon.” Lucas looked at Alex confused.

“What makes you think they’ll make a deal like that?”

“Like I said, I have a feeling.” Even though he just have a feeling, we all trusted him and decided to do it anyways. We even told Mr. Anderson about the plan. His response was,

“Make sure you sacrifice Othen. Still mad at him four calling me Koro-sensei.” Othen then yelled in response as well,

“Ok Koro-sensei! I’ll risk it all for everyone!” Then Othen died. Just kidding, he’s going to get hung on the ceiling again after so-called, P.E class.

Ok, now it’s time to describe where we are in the mini-Colosseum. We were in the seats outside the arena. The location of the Colosseum? Somewhere near the Nowell schools. Closer to the girl's school. The looks of the Colosseum isn’t bad at all, looking at it makes you think it was just made. It was pretty obvious that it looks brand new because of magic. If you want to know what always made structures always look brand new, it’s structure restoration from the Restoration Category. There are over a thousand categories if you want to know how many there are.

We’ve waited for almost ten minutes, most of us sweating from either being nervous or from the hot day. Well, I was the one who was sweating the most, since I was surrounded by everyone.

It was a minute later, a portal opened at the other side of us. And when the first person came out, we knew who they were. Girls. One by one, like us, they came out of the portal. Every girl you could say was either incredibly beautiful or very cute. So everyone began murmuring again, though this time I could hear some of them. One of them being,

“Do you see the girl with the fox ears? She looks cute.” or, “No no, the girl with the nice thighs looks better.” Geez, I didn’t know I was the only one not perverted. Oh wait, Alex and Lucas don’t look interested either, but annoyed upon hearing our groups comments as well.

I mean, "Come on!" we are only 12 years old and we are already having dirty conversations!

I watched as each girl came out, but when closed upon the last one coming out, I was disappointed. Not one of them was one of my stepsisters. Thought we could be saved if one of the sisters made the girls not harm us somehow, but it was a crushed dream anyways.

We’ve been told to go into the center of the arena, and we did. We did it while still covering me from sight. The class formed and just like that, we were in front of the girls. Many of them looked smart, strong, and just overall you can say better than us.

Mr. Anderson stepped up and waited in front of us boys. At the opposing side, a small girl the size of me came out. She stepped up in front of Mr. Anderson. They stared at each other for a long moment, then started shaking hands that looked at first businesslike. Until you start to notice as they kept shaking, their grip on each other’s hand became harder and harder, to the point where you understood that they hated each other. The small girl then commented,

“Oh, if it isn’t the rope fetish man.” Mr. Anderson then fire back at her,

“Looks who’s talking, you sadistic vampire bitch.” They both threw each other grips away and walked towards each other’s classes. Mr. Anderson gives Alex a looking saying, “Destroy them somehow.” Alex puts up three fingers saying,

“Will three do it?”

Mr. Anderson gave a thumbs up saying, “As long it will humiliate them.”

As they continue to do that, I will describe you that small girl who was as big as me. If you didn’t know she was the teacher of the girls. She had blonde shiny hair. Eyes as red as blood, skin, of course, is white. She wore a dress fitting perfectly for a doll. A dark dress fit for gothic. She looks a doll for what everyone could think. A cute doll at least, who was a vampire also. Alex takes a deep breath.

“Alright, everyone… it looks like it will be a one on one fight.” Alex pulls three fingers out, “If I’m lucky with the negotiation, all we have to do is win three times.” A random student yells,

“So how are we going to do that?”

“Me, Lucas and Nameless will be the ones going up. I won’t risk you guys getting hurt.” Lucas jumps in a panic motion to his body.

“Wait, I’m going too?” Alex smiles as usual.

“I know your abilities Lucas, and I know you are a pro at it. I doubt you will lose to these girls.”

“We don’t even know how strong they are overall! We don’t even know who is strong in their ranks.”

“Isn’t that obvious? If it's a one on one duel, it’s obvious they will put their third strongest first. Alright, I’ll talk with them. Make sure you guys keep Nameless out of sight.” They did, and I’m still sweating, a lot. At least not enough to where I’m entirely covered in watery sweat.

Alex walks up and waits with a smile. Then out of the crowd of girls, a beautiful girl walked out, the one who everyone’s attention when she first got out of the portal. She was as beautiful as a flower you can say. She was… entirely white, like snow white. Her hair, her skin. The only thing that wasn’t white was her ocean blue eyes. Eyes you wished you can stare at forever. It's not like I'm attracted to her anyways, no seriously, you'll see why later on.

She walked up to Alex. Alex continued his usual smile, and says, “Let’s skip the introduction, you don’t seem like you have any interest in that.” The girl sighed,

“At least you outsiders aren’t dense. So… you know why I’ve stepped up?”

“I want to make a deal for this one on one duels. I think you want the same, right?”

“Then I’ll cut to the chase.” She points at Alex, “If I win, you’ll become my slave.”

“Are you sure? Not anyone else in the crowd? If you do this, you can’t change the offer.”

“I’m sure. Everyone in your group looks like disgusting creatures anyways.”

“Then here is my deal.” He points at her, “You undress, put on a nice and revealing swimsuit and let me take a picture.” She makes a disgusted face.

“Didn’t know you were a pervert as well, are you all this disgusting?”

“I don’t plan on fapping to it. I plan on selling it to make some money for my class.” He winks with a shrug, “Business.”

“Then it’s a deal.” She grins. “Prepare to have a wonderful time with me, my new slave.”

“I don’t plan on becoming a masochist, so don’t mind if I take a picture of you and sell it. You overconfident sadist.” They stared at each other with challenging eyes, chatted about the rules, and then turned to their classmates.

The battle begins.
