19 Isn't this kidnapping?

'Seriously?'

[Ding....yes]

'Why?'

[Ding....User have to specify]

'Why did i become the enemy of the world and why did i get a evil element?'

[Ding....Unknown, But making enemies is necessary to get stronger, also, Blood ruby is just a better version of crimson, but it considered evil because it got the ability to absorb others blood, thus earning the rarity Forbidden]

'Didn't you say it legendary rarity?

[Ding....power wise, it is]

'Sigh, i shouldn't think anymore about this, oh, come to think of it, Claudio isn't here, i hope I'm not late!'

Thus Alter picked up his backpack, since he always wear the same clothes always he doesn't have to wast time on that, after he left his room, he checked the giant hour in the sky

Fortunately, he still have 2 hours until class starts, so he went to the restaurant for another 'eat whatever you want' session

In his ways, he overheard others conversation, most of them are about the maze

'I guess i should participate too, maybe i can get something from it'

Alter decided to participate on a whim, he didn't give it much thought since apparently if someone dies inside he will get teleported outside.

After 10 seconds

[Ding....New quest! Class selection]

[Class selection

Difficulty: Very hard

Reward: Breakthrough to Expert stage and secret manual to a special class

Description and objectives: For some reason, the maze opening time is earlier, Find the secret passage in the treasure room and reach the true treasure room]

'...I regret my decision now'

[Ding....Regretting is useless, it won't cancel the quest]

'Oh right, what if i don't do the quest?'

[Ding....User Dice element makes user constitution special, other classes doesn't suit you, not having a class equals not reaching the expert stage]

'And the secret manual -'

[ding....compatible with user]

'Sigh,But the difficulty is too high!'

[Ding....User got 2 legendary elements , 1 epic element and a forgotten element]

'Yes, but all my spells mp cost is too high!'

[Ding....User mp now is 750 thanks to his foundation, also, user can use magical theories and runes to decrease mp cost]

'Stop saying useless things alright? you know that there's no useful runes for the elements i have! well i did find few for crimson crystal, but my crimson element have some differences!'

[Ding....User request make sense...stimulating dice element.....Ding! User got a new spell!]

[Incomplete lesser Imitation (Dice), not possible to level up : A spell that only lesser doppelganger have, Takes the target shape, 30% of it abilities except speed, 50% of it speed, and it will be possible to use target techniques/spells that he's extremely familiar with, no mp cost, 3 times per day, Imitation doesn't have a time limit]

'!!' Alter nearly jumped from the happiness

[reminder: this spell can't be used if there's huge power difference ,also, user can't use his spells ]

'oh...so it not really a cheat'

[Note: Because user isn't a doppelganger, there's a change in the spell: upon death, user will return to his original form with 80% of his vitality]

'Never mind! This is extremely useful! system! what is this spell target limit'

[Ding....calculating....Max level expert]

'So i got a chance ! Maybe i should transform into leo...but suddenly becoming him .... i don't want to get mistaken as a doppelganger, haah, for now, let celebrate it with eating a lot!'

After finishing, Alter decided to go to class early and read his books, but what one plans and what happens isn't necessarily to be the same, in his way, he met Emillia and leo, Emillia suddenly appeared in front of him and 'gently' placed her hand in his head

'Ouch ouch! let me go! Freak! this hurts!' Alter Strongly shouted in his heart , of course, to maintain his image of the silent type, he kept a poker face

"Finally found you~" Emillia said with a evil smile

"Ehm...Emillia, shouldn't you let him go before talking?" Leo suddenly intervened

'You idiot! saying that isn't the correct way to approach a girl' Alter mocked leo

just when Leo finished, Emillia punched him in his face , then she retrieved her hand from Alter head

"What?" Alter said in a indifferent tone

"Did you forget?" Emillia replied

"Yes"

"You promised to meet me tomorrow after classes"

'oh right, i forgot that, again...i can't say that, so let go with plan B'

"I didn't promise, you suddenly said 'meet me after classes end' and went away"

Emillia felt embarrassed and enraged at the same time

'I am being ridiculed by a kid?!' she exclaimed in her heart

"Haah, let forget about it, it already settled" Leo, who just recovered from the punch , said in hope to calm down Emillia.

But this made Alter curious, so he asked

"What's settled?"

"Oh, you're adopted, you'll be my and Emillia little brother" Leo replied

"Hmph!" Emillia for some reason said

Alter didn't believe

"Is this some new way to kidnap?" Alter said in a cold manner

"kids this days are too suspicious" a white haired man appeared between them, Alter was able to recognize that person, he's the director

"Explain" Alter said

"The what?" the director casually replied

"How it's possible to adopt someone without himself knowing?"

"First, You should talk to your elders in a proper manner, who knows, you may end up offending someone important with your attitude and get yourself killed, second, you possess affinity toward the phoenix element and crimson which is a epic element, and it the blue phoenix on top of that, the kysen family, which is widely known for their affinity toward multiple elements and the legendary phoenix element won't stay silent for someone who got a talent like yours, thus, leaving you with few choices:

Death

Marry someone from their family

Get adopted, if you didn't understand something say it"

While the director was throwing his speech, Alter noticed that everyone except him, the director, Leo and Emillia, had blank face like they lost conscious

"I do have a question"

"What's it"

"you where stalking us?"

"Eh, well~ oh bye" the director suddenly vanished

Leo and Emillia weren't surprised, it like they're used to such thing happening

Leo stepped forward and said

"well, back to the point, Although you got adopted it won't affect your daily life for now"

Next, Emillia slapped Leo away and said

"Well, except that today we're going to the city to buy !"

Emillia eyes where like stars, expressing how excited she was

Alter gaze went where Leo landed

'Ok! she's dangerous!'

"....when should we go?" Alter said nervously

"now!" Emillia replied

"now?"

"yes!"

"but the classes-"

"No problem! we got no classes this week! it seems all the teachers are focusing their attention on the maze to open it earlier this year!"
