Other than Rheo, there were a couple of more people that I was going to 'get along' with. Two of them were Nelson and Ross, whose expertise were in defence oriented magic and skill each. Perhaps their similar interests made them fast friends, and looking at their behaviour, their friendship is going to help them improve at a much faster rate than what they could have done on their own.

'Sadly, they are eyeing the same girl… and one of that kind too,' I thought as I observed Campbell, a very beautiful and bright girl. Though she is nothing but a sl*t and a f*cking manipulator. Leeching off of others, she bagged all the resources she could to become this strong, and now she was eyeing all the guys with potential in the class.

Then there was this guy, Paul, who was trying to attack me whenever he got the chance. If I am not wrong, he should be creating some trouble for me today… Well, I could use that to my benefit…

Paul Icer was a yellow-haired kid, about 17 years old and with a strong background. His eldest brother, Gerald Icer, was one of the fourth years here while his twin brother, Pleus Icer, was in the current year with us; just that he was in the top 25 and currently in the class 1B.

'Well, he does have some family problems, but that has nothing to do with me… neither he has anything that can be called as eye-catching except his falsely fed ego and that peanut size brain of his,' I thought before looking at his two henchmen and the three b*tches in his group.

Jenkins and Howard were the two henchmen of Paul while the three b*tches were Green, Cook and, of course, Campbell.

The rest of the people were Razor, Melissa, Thomas, Russel, Peterson and Phillips. I had seen through their profile, but for now I would put them at the back of the list. For now, let's concentrate on as many I can manipulate as I am capable of.

Professor Hoffman began teaching us about the very basics first, about the whole levelling up and System and how it affects our daily life. What are skills and various other things… Since I already knew everything, I just observed the class on what they were doing and how they were behaving.

'I probably won't attend this class after a week so, let's make the most out of it,' I thought as I began calculating the moves it would take to bring everyone under my control here.

"Aidan, you look disinterested. Have you read everything already?" Professor Hoffman spoke as he looked at my disinterested expression and the whole class turned to look at me with a keen expression, before I sighed and said,"yeah. I have been living my whole life under books-"

-Pfft

I heard someone laughing at my words, and I turned to find Jenkin and Campbell, two of the people who belonged to Paul's group.

"And I kind of know it already… I didn't mean to be disrespectful though," I spoke as I looked at him and he then asked me a couple of questions about the System and levelling up. After I answered it, he said,"meet me after classes today. Sit down."

I nodded and sat down, before I turned at Rheo and muttered,"Can you do me a favour?" Rheo turned to me and, though sceptical a bit, he spoke,"what favour?"

"The last period is a free training period. Challenge Jenkins for a match, defeat him and then challenge Paul and defeat him as well," I spoke, and he turned silent for a few moments before whispering,"No. Why would I expose myself to the public?"

"I will teach you a very special Shadow Blade Skill. One that can help you reach newer heights," I spoke with a smile and he turned quite again. For the next few minutes, the only one who was speaking was Professor Hoffman… and then,

"How would I know that it is useful for me? What if you are just bluffing?" He spoke in a low voice and I pondered a little before speaking,"all I can say is trust me. I don't have neither the time nor the place to show you the skill, so there is little we can do here."

At my words, he was a bit shocked before he muttered,"what do you mean by show? Are you saying that you know someone who can perform Shadow Blade techniques?!!!"

'Perhaps he was looking for a proper tutor or something?' I thought as I spoke,"yeah something like that."

"Okay… I will do as you say, but other than that Blade technique, I also want to meet that person who can use it," he spoke, and I pondered about it a little and then spoke.

"It will take sometime, but sure… though you aren't doubting me now?"

He was sceptical about it before… I wonder what happened now…

"No… it's just that I… well I wanted to challenge Jenkins before, as for Paul I don't want to get involved much as it would be too much of a hassle later on… especially with his brothers being here in the Academy as well… but I guess, I can take a risk a little, after all they would come after me in the future as well," he spoke as he observed them before sighing and speaking,"so we have a deal then?"

I turned to him, pondered a bit and then nodded,"sure. As long as they both get defeated."

I then peaked on my right and whispered to Variel,"hey Variel. Can I ask you to do something?"

Variel then looked at me for a moment before turning back to the Professor. He didn't speak a word after that, so I just continued,

"Can you beat the cr*p out of Howard if he tries to interrupt the match between Jenkins and Rheo? Also, make sure that he ends up in the hospital?"

He turned at me, pondered a little and observing him, I added,"I will help you out to reach 5th Floor of the Stairways of Heaven faster," at which he nodded immediately but muttered,"but if I end up in any form of unnecessary trouble, you will be the one solving it."

"Sure," I spoke as I smiled a little and continued focusing on the boring lecture.
