*The next Morning*

As i wake up next to Lilith, i see a gained some notifications that i missed yesterday.

Due to your new class and skills, you gained the Soul stat. For every kill you get, you gain an extra soul.

You can use souls for your new skills.

Due to breaking the 200 threshold on Intelligence, you gained the skill, Hypercognition at Novice 0.

The Hypercognition skill allows you to speed up your reflexes and thinking temporarily. Time will seem to slow for you by 15%.

Be careful using this skill, it can cause massive brain hemmorraging and cause your mind to age if you over use it.

There is a synergy between your quick thinking skill and Hypercognition. Your Hypercognition skill is now at Apprentice 53. You lost the Quick Thinking skill.

Hypercognition will slow down your perception of time by 20% now.

Well thats cool. I dont like the side effects though. Im going to have to increase my mental endurance if im gonna be using this skill.

Maybe ill gain m.end by using the skill...

Seems logical if thats the case.

But then again, what about this reality is logical. Im in a fucking fantasy.

Not that im complaining.

I just realised i couldve asked Lucifer if i could speak to my family. FUCK!

Ill ask him about that the next time i see him.

Well its time to go to school.

I wake Lilith up by kissing her and then get out of bed to go get ready.

Lilith:Aww, whyd you have to tease me like that? I thought we were gonna have fun." She says with a pouting face.

Dorian:"Well we were both to tired last night, plus we only have an hour till school starts. We might as well get ready and get going. Trust me id prefer to stay in bed with you." I say pointing at the morning visitor in my pants.

....

We get ready and head outside to meet with the others, Thia was on watch last night so it seems that Julian was in capable hands.

Dorian:"Hey do they have dorms on campus? Itd probably be safer if we stayed there instead of the Hotel? I mean the security is tighter and i doubt Lucifer would allow assassins on schoolgrounds."

Dag:"They do but they arent open to the students yet. Theyll be ready at the end of the day today. We'll be getting the keys at the end of last period."

Lilith:"We will be staying in the campus dorms after we get the keys. Before we go to class today, we have to head to the administration building and sign off on who we want as roomates. It goes without saying that the men will be bunking together while me and Thia will have our room."

....

After a few minutes we finally arrive at school and then head to the administration building.

I just realised that if me, Julian, and Dag get a room together, i wont be able to have fun with Lilith.

Lilith:'We can still have fun, we just need to put a sock on the door or something. Also lock it.'

Okay that makes me feel better.

We go to the receptionist and put down who we want as roomates and then get a map of the campus with our classroom numbers on it along with routes of how to get to them.

We each go to our seperate first period classes after saying bye to each other.

I make it to my Magitech Crafting class with five minutes to spare and look around the classroom.

The room looks like it can fit a hundred people in it and is in the shape of a standard college lecture hall.

There are windows after the last and highest row of seats. In between each column of seats is also a set of stairs.

After taking a look around i see there are about 10 people in this class. Either this class is unpopular among the student body or the rest of the class isnt here yet.

In the back corner of the room i see a group of four girls, two humans,a harpy, and a slime girl. The leader of the group seems to be the standard blonde cheerleading princess type, shes pretty but from what i can tell, she is haughty and full of herself. I might have some issues with her later. Her second in command is a brunette that is just as pretty but not quite as standoffish. She has a nice hourglass figure. The Harpy has black hair and wings and a highpitched voice and pettite body. She seems to be the youngest of the quartet. Finally is the slime girl. She is a deep blue color with her hair down to her back and some over her plentiful breasts. She has a pettite body as well but an hourglass figure that and has hips that would be perfect for that one Shakira song. She is the quietest out of all of them and sits a little farther of the others, she seems to be the floater of the group. She seems to want to be closer, but is afraid of rejection, i remember plenty of girls who were like that. I actually got along pretty well with them. She really seems sad though.

Theyre chatting with each other and making the occassional girly squeal when they get to a scandalizing or exciting topic. Right now theyre talking about the hottest royalty.

I look and see two people in the middle row and middle most column. They are quiet and have their heads in their books. The one on the left is a boy with sandy blonde hair, glasses, grey eyes, and a stern expression. The one on the right is a girl with sand blonde hair and a laid back expression on her face. She has bright green eyes that betray the true intelligence in them. They both look very much alike so they might be fertenal twins. Wait is it fertenal or fraternal? Ehh whatever. They seem like serious students, would be smart to be on good terms with them.

I see a person sitting and one of the seats closest to the door. Theyre sleeping and have some horns sticking out their for head. He has grey hair but a youthfull face. He has one canine toothe that sticks out from his top lip. He also seems like a big dude. How he can sleep so hunched over, i have no idea.

Finally, at the very top middle row, is the final three. The final three actually are wearing robes and nondescript white masks. They dont have any holes in the masks. They are quiet and i cant even hear them breathe. Its as if theyre dead.

I... I..

I cant even feel the Force in them....

Scary.

Ive already met some undead and they had energy running through them. They were very nice people too.

But these guys...

I feel nothing.

If this aint a flag, i dont know what the fuck is.

Choosing to avoid them, i sit in the front row in the middle. Directly in front of the chalk board.

I then feel ten pairs of eyes staring at me. Well...

More like nine pairs of eyes, and someone feeling my presence through mana. Seems demon boy aint actually asleep.

The most intense stares seem to be coming from the three in the masks.

It feels like the stare of a starving, desperate animal.

I think they might be energy leeches or a race that feeds off energy.

Shit, they probably felt my trying to sense them with my three energies.

This seems like a dangerous situation.

As i start to build up my energies in preperation of fight or flight, the voice of the obnoxious blonde girl calls out to me from my left.

???:"Hey plebian, how dare you not pay respect to me. I am princess Tabitha Lockheart III. The next in line to the principality of Escucheon here in the Federation. I am a prodigy." She says as she starts walking down to me.

Ughgh, a bitchy princess... how clichè.

Dorian:"Well 'Your Highness', to get respect, you have to earn it. And from that introduction, you wont be gaining it anytime soon. I dont like self-centered conceited spoiled brats. Especially if theyre royalty. Secondly, in this academy, your titles mean nothing, only your skills and personality. Now be happy i didnt just blast you away with mana."

Tabitha:*Stunned Silence*

...

???:"HAHAHAHA!! BY THE GODS THAT WAS GREAT!"

The laughing comes from the direction of the Demon boy.

???"Hi my name is Antonio. Im just the son of a Duke but from what you said, you dont give a fuck. Id like to be your friend, something tells me itll be a blast."

Antonio says with a wide grin on his face, now that i get a good look at him, his horns resemble ram horns, and he has goat hooves for feet. Hes a Satyr.

Dorian:"Nice to meet you Antonio, ill be happy to be your friend. Plus you seem to have a better personality than this brat."At my pointing to her, Tabitha seems to snap out of her daze and her face turns an interesting shade of purple.

Dorian:"Is she a chameleon person?" I say to Antonio with blatant amusment in my voice.

Tabitha:"HOW DARE YOU!? HAVE YOU NO SHAME!?!"

Dorian:"I think the answer to that question is fairly obvious." I hear Antonio laugh and see the slime girl cover her mouth out of the corner of my eye.

Even the twins are laughing. Though the Harpy and Brunette have stern and miffed expressions on their faces.

The Creepy Trio however havnt moved whatsoever and are still staring at me intently. I really dont like them.

Something tells me that if i interact with them, there will be complete and utter fuckery. Its like Spidermans, Spidey Sense, except without the little hairs that sense the vibrations in the air.

Its more like the complete absense of energy in them is whats letting me know shit might go down.

Force Sense has leveled up by 5.

Even the Force can tell some nasty shit might happen if i interact with them.

I refocus on Tabitha. She is not happy. Even her beautiful face has turned ugly in anger.

Tabitha:"Fine. If thats how it is. Then i challenge you to a mage duel during Firstyear Magecraft class in Fourth period, winner chooses the punishment." She just fucked up.

Dorian:"Accepted. A power only duel. First to get knocked out or conceed looses. In all honesty however, ya fucked up. You should have challenged me to a knights duel." I say with a shit eating grin and a predatory gleam in my eye.

Tabitha:"We will see." She says, and then walks back to her groupies.

The Brunette and Harpy gives me dirty looks while the Slime girl hides a smile and discreetly waves hello. She seems like a really nice girl. Id be happy to be friends with her. Thats it though, i got Lilith to think about in the more than friends category. Thia however seems to be having a colder and colder look in her eyes when she sees me and Lilith together.

It makes me feel like a piece of shit actually. I dont know why shes like that though.

I mean i may have saved her from the rapist, but that wouldnt constitute her having romantic feelings right? I mean in the three months ive known her, she only seemed to have wanted to be friends.

Maybe its that Damsel in Distrass syndrome. Where when the girl gets saved, she gains romantic feelings for the Hero.

Please dont let there be an NTR situation.

Shit that mightve raised a flag.

I TAKE IT BACK, I TAKE IT BACK!!

As i have this internal struggle, the twins who are in the row behind me, introduce themselves.

???:"Hi, im Hanz."Says the boy twin.

???:"Im Greta." Says the girl twin.

Up close they look somewhere between fourteen to eighteen. More on the eighteen side.

Greta:"That was an eventful situation."

Hanz:"Glad to meet someone who doesnt seem to have a stick up their ass. We may take our studies seriously, but that doesnt mean we dont like to have good friends. So how about it?"

Dorian&Antonio:"Sure."

We all shake hands.

Hanz:"Seems like class is about to start, we should all sit back down."

And we do, Antonio next to me, and the twins behind us.

Next the teacher comes in and writes her name on the board with magic. Her name is Helena.

Helena:"Welcome class to the first Magitech class of the year. Today we will just be handling introductions . We will include our Names and most prominent Titles. After that we will go onto our reasons for being here. You in the very middle, youre first." She says pointing at me.
