The two staff left, leaving me with the principle alone in the wrecked private practise room.

“Anyways, since you can use fire magic, it is highly likely you can use all of them, your unknown skill is most likely the ability to use all basic affinities, but I cannot be to sure, just don’t try it.”

“Ok”, I was not given a chance to test out the time manipulation magic so I decided to try it out a bit later, it is not a destructive magic so there will not be any problems using it, plus I can peek u-

“You can return to your dorm now Keith, rest up.”

“Thanks sir”, well I guess I can try it just now. Activating time manipulation magic was fairly easy, everything froze suddenly, it was so soundless it actually hurt my brain, or my ears, I couldn’t tell which one was being abused by the soundlessness. I was not able to tell if time was fully stopped, or it was just going really slowly. So I look at the teacher for a few minutes to inspect his movements. Ten minutes went by and not a single movement, so I claim time was fully frozen and proceed to my dorm room. It is better if time was not moving at all while moving around, or else the extreme high speed will cause a massive gust of wind will summon to obliterate everything, or at least that is what I expect to happen, since almost everything I have been doing so far was destroying things I did not mean to destroy. If time is fully frozen, it will be as if I just teleport, which is a lot safer.

I proceed my dorm while time was still frozen, admiring the art that has been displayed before me, frozen leafs in midair, birds, even a gust of wind that was carrying enough dust to be seen was frozen, beautiful indeed. I enter my dorm, and release the spell.

It’s been a week since then, we finally get our first field trip, however, it is not exactly a ‘fun’ trip.

“As expected children, we will be heading towards the forest today in order to train yourselves with real life combat against the human races mortal enemy, demons. For those who don’t know what demons are, demons are spawns of the demon lord, monsters who live solely to torture and consume the lives of humans, the very manifestation of evil itself. It may be frightening, but you will be in groups, and each group will be accompanied by a 6th year student of the academy to protect you.”, many of the students were extremely relieved to have their seniors with them, while a few were clicking their tongue, the overconfident genius nobles.

“Get in a line in front of the doors children, we will be departing.”, said the teacher.

We arrived at the forest, which was supposed to house many weak demons. The concept of demons was totally new to me, in fact this is most likely why the Goddess sent me here, to vanquish them all and give humans a peace of mind. The first year lightning class was not the only ones that are here, it was the first years of every class, totalling to over five hundred kids.

“We will now make groups of ten, with a balanced mix of the most talented and uhh… ‘in progress’ students. Find your names on the board that the 6th year students are holding, dismissed.”, the students scattered like ants, looking for their names, and so was i.

“Ahh yes one more thing, four students will be in their own group of four only, with no senior to accompany them on the journey, these students will be comprised of the most powerful students in the academy, if I call your names, come to me for now, Luna Lithilum, Rob Inin, Casey Goodwood, and Keith.”, why was my name called? For all I know, I haven’t been doing anything in the training classes, since I was not allowed to… unless the principle meant to automatically put me into this group.

“Hey Keith, why do they never say your full name?”, asked Luna

“I requested the principle to not allow the staff to reveal my full name”

“Why? You will be treated like trash if people do not know that you are a noble, and the only person with the king’s bloodline in the school at that.”

“I don’t want to be treated like one.”, the real reason was because it was a lot more interesting to be treated like trash, then to have no one bother you at all. Ya’know, to put a bit of spice in my life.

“Your weird you know that? Not that I don’t like it”

“Hahaha, I am happy you are treating me normally even after knowing who I am.”

“Am I not supposed to?”

“...”, Luna was clueless about what would happen if she treated another noble the way she treats me, she was never able to make a friend here since many are either staying away from her to mock her, or to shy to get close to her, causing her to never actually be able to interact in the way she usually does to me.

“Anyways, let's go meet up with Casey”
