Class A.

Dusk came, and Ira too came out of the training hall. His body drenched in sweat. He hurried his steps towards his room and went in to freshen up a bit and after washing up, he again wore the same clothes which was washed and dried.

Although he had enough money to buy different clothes but he doesn't do that because he can still use them and money was too precious a thing to be used on this and he also didn't have much of it.

He leapt on his bed and layed there, his stomach facing the bed and back facing the ceiling. He now had nothing to do, so he just started to activating and deactivating his awakening skill.

He can now maintain stage one for ten whole minutes and for first nine minutes he can maintain that state effortlessly and after the ninth minute his body starts to tense up and pressure comes on it.

"Activate." "Deactivate." "Activate." "Deactivate." He said these two words for an hour whole. And it was 7'o clock, and there was still an hour left before dinner finished.

He now decided to open his status window.

"Status." He said.

He was beaming with joy now, seeing his stats.

He now also had a skill called lightning magic. Which he got through practicing and experimenting with lightning control.

"I should go to the mansion's garden, and walk around a bit and see the stars." He spoke to no one.

He exited his room and started walking towards where the stairs are. And when he reached his destination he saw an unique scene.

From upstairs, he saw that all the mansion's servants were lined up in two rows facing each other. They were bowing 90° degrees.

And someone was at the mansion's door, he had a handsome face and golden hairs which simmered in the lights. He was six feet tall and wore elegant clothes.

The man was smiling. And the servants greeted him.

Saying, "Welcome, your highness."

"No need to greet me. I am now the student of the academy." He said.

And a few seconds later his eyes met the the man's which was golden too.

Both of them stared each other as if there was a staring contest going on and none of them wanted to lose.

Some of the servants observed this and thought, 'Does he not fear the consequences of doing that or does he not know who that man is. Whatever if he gets upset with this I don't know what will happen to us.' he inwardly lamented.

The man here is the prince of the Marev empire. Although in academy, imperial authority doesn't have any power but what can one say, anything can happen in the world.

Then suddenly, the crown prince backed off and started walking towards him and a minute later he was standing before him.

"Hello, my name is Aria Marev, the one and only prince of Marev empire. Who may you be?" The man known as Aria introduced himself and asked him something.

"Ira, my name is Ira, no last name. I am a commoner, which is the word you use to identify us." Ira said. Both of them never stopped staring into each other's eyes. 

"Nice to meet you, Ira." He spoke.

"Well, same here." He answered still staring in his eyes.

"Can you stop now." Aria said.

"You can do that too, so do it." Ira said.

Both of them still not backing off. And after ten minutes or so, someone else came inside the mansion. 

"Brother, what are you doing."

"I think it's your win, for today that is." Aria said.

"...." He didn't say anything

"Nothing." He said the owner that voice, he was annoyed but it wasn't visible on his face, but Ira could tell he was annoyed.

He stayed there until dinner was ready. He saw that many students came into the mansion. About twenty people including Aria and the girl who he assumed was Aria's sister. And each of them was escorted by a servant to their rooms. A treatment which was different from the treatment he got when he came here.

But he ignored that and went to the dinner table. He sat on one of the chairs.

Seeing him sitting there, a servant came and told him that there's a change in schedule and dinner will be served an hour later meaning at 9'o clock.

"I will wait here until then." He said.

'So, they are my classmates. I think each of them are nobles and royals. So, I am the only commoner among them, my life ahead will be interesting.' He thought while smirking.

An hour passed by quickly, and he was still sitting there.

 And when the time for dinner came, only three people came to the dinner table.

One was Aria Marev, the second one was a girl who had green hair and green eyes, her name was Iliana Myers, she was the only daughter and child of Duke Myers, one of the dukes of the empire.

The last one was a boy, he was also tall and had lean muscles. He had grey hairs and crimson red eyes. His name was Bronach Achrys, the only son of the most powerful marquis house of the empire.

The others he assumed didn't come either because they don't want to eat with a commoner, or they didn't like eating with strangers so they would have asked the servants to bring their food in their rooms.

The food was not food but a feast, there were many different kinds of food which he had never seen before.

When all the food was served, they started eating. Ira didn't use any knife or fork like the others were using and ate with his hands. 

Seeing that, Illiana commented on his eating etiquette. "Don't you have any eating etiquette." She didn't like his way of eating.

"No." He just said that and nothing more and he hadn't even stop eating while replying to her.

She became angry at his reply and how he ignored her but didn't do anything, she ignored him in return and ate her fill and went to her room.

"You're quite brave, aren't you. You are quite amusing. I've never seen a brave commoner like you." Aria remarked, amusingly.

"Stop blabbering and eat. I've heard that eating while talking can make you choke and let me eat too." He spoke.

"You really are brave, aren't you. Okay, I'll stop, you can eat peacefully." Aria said. He didn't get angered by what he said.

Bronach was seeing all this drama unfold but didn't say anything and was silently eating.

Both of them left before him, Ira stayed and ate everything. The food was enough for twenty one people, and of those twenty one three emptied out and he ate food worth eleven people.

After eating he went to his and when he got on his bed, he instantly fell asleep.

The next day, he woke up at six and freshened up in ten minutes, in five minutes he wore his uniform. And at 06:16 am got out of the dorm mansion.

And in exactly, fourteen minutes he reached his destination, which was the place where the entrance ceremony for freshmen was being held.

He entered the room and inside there were hundreds of students sitting on their seats waiting for the ceremony to start.

He found an empty seat and sat there and also waited for the event to start.

He saw that those dorm mates of his entered the room one by one.

He saw that Aria was looking here and there as if to find someone. And his eyes locked on him.

"What are you doing, you're blocking my way." His sister said.

"Nothing." Aria said and began walking towards the front seats and sat there.

The dean came on the stage.

All the students started talking about her.

The dean was very famous throughout the continent. She was one of the thirteen SSS rankers of the continent. She was the continent's strongest archmage.

Her name was Cassandria Junes.

She first introduced herself and started her speech. The speech lasted fifteen whole minutes and all students started clapping after it ended. No one thought it was boring no one except some and in those some, there was Ira too.

She then asked for the student representative to come on stage.

The student representative was none other than Aria. He got on stage and started his speech which lasted five minutes that too Ira found boring. Again the dean came and told all of them to go into their classes as in ten minutes the classes would start. Meaning at 7'O clock, everyday.
