'Special Set Effect?' Kael stared perplexedly at the system notification in front of him. A glint of understanding then flashed across his eyes. It's not a piece of secret in-game equipment that can activate additional stats after completing some sort of requirements. Still, Kael was a bit startled as he didn't expect that a feature would be available in the real-life system.

"I know you're handsome, but staring at yourself in the mirror for a minute seems a bit narcissistic, ain't it?" Kael heard Tanaka quipped in a sarcastic tone.

Clearing his mind and closed the system, Kael rebuked calmly while shrugging his shoulders, "Why not? I'm a pretty aesthetic view enjoyer. I see beauty; I observe it. Simple as that"

Hearing Kael's remark, Tanaka scoffed coldly, "How arrogant." he then smirked evilly, "My friend used to be overconfident like you. One day, he was confident enough that he thought he could cross a road with blinders on. Shortly after, he ended up in a hospital because a car bumped against him."

Kael didn't answer and just straight away left the bathroom. However, he halted his steps at the door frame. Tilting his head slightly, Kael responded with a grin, "I have a friend who used to tell me stories like you. Shortly after, he ended up in a hospital due to getting choked on his own saliva."

Kael then grinned at the sight of Tanaka pointing his middle finger at him.

Arriving at the same indoor court as yesterday, Kael was surprised to see six people's appearances with each of their own unique temperament standing in front of them. Among them, he can spot John Cenny easily because of his tall figure.

Suddenly, Vice-Principal Luki appeared from behind the student's crowd, startling them as they didn't expect someone like Luki would make his appearance like that.

Afterwards, he goes to the front side to join the six unique individuals, facing the student's crowd direction.

"Other teachers and I held a meeting yesterday to evaluate your abilities. Based on that meeting, we'll assign you to the most suitable teacher for you."

'So, the warm-up we did on the first day of the test was actually to record the students' abilities?' Kael mused inwardly. He never expected the test he took lightly to have a deep purpose like that.

An attendant then comes forward while holding a tablet in his hands. Standing behind Luki, the man begins sweeping through the tablet and starts calling the student one by one.

Between the three of them, the one who gets called first was Galagar. The attendant then instructs him to join the line led by John Cenny.

Kael is not shocked at this arrangement. Because considering Galagar's build and ability similar to John Cenny, which is a physical ability, Kael had a hunch Galagar would end up as John Cenny's pupil.

The second one who got picked up was Tanaka. His assigned teacher didn't seem too remarkable and looks weak in presence compared to the other teachers. He got a slender build, average face features, deep black eyes sockets, and curly black hair. Nonetheless, taking into account him being a teacher, Kael didn't dare to underestimate him purely based on his appearance.

Lastly, it was his turn to be called up. He was appointed as a student of a woman with silver-hair that cascaded over her back. She looks beautiful with an hourglass figure, a perfectly oval face, silver pupils as same as her hair. While standing, she emitted a prominent aura that everyone couldn't help but sense a feeling of worship. It's the polar opposite of Tanaka's teacher, Mister Jerome.

After positioning the students using the arrangement they discussed yesterday, Luki then excused himself as he had another matter to attend to.

Deducting that Luki was nowhere in his sight. Jerome turned around and said curtly, "Follow me. We'll go to sector one first."

Alisa, Kael's teacher, glanced at Jerome with her ears perked up. She then composed her face and imitated Jerome's tone while facing her students, "S-sector one, we'll go there!"

Despite finding his teacher's behavior quite weird, Kael didn't dwell on that assumption any further and compellingly walked after her.

...

Teacher Jerome and Alisa brought the sixty students deep into Bintang Academy, where Sector One is supposedly located. Along the way, they revealed that Bintang Academy was actually divided into four sectors.

Sector Zero is the area where principals, teachers, and official academy members lived. Though Kael feels that there's more to it, he feels that it was the Academy's secret, and it was taboo for him to inquire about such stuff.

Next, Sector One. Sector One is the area where battle arenas, artificial colosseum, classrooms, and other facilities that can enhance students' sense, physique, magic power, etc.

Since Kael had never wandered into this area before, his eyes popped out in shock when he finally saw the artificial colosseum's appearance. He was expecting a majestic-looking oval shape place with different layers of sturdy walls surrounding it. However, what he found was a massive building, but nowhere close to what the original colosseum was supposed to be like. It looks like an office or hospital in his opinion.

He then stared at his instructor Alisa, hoping that an explanation would soon come from her mouth. But, the latter's attention wasn't in the real world in the first place. Instead, her eyes seem to gaze intensely at Teacher Jerome, who looks serious in elaborating the place's purpose and whatsoever.

Kael's mouth couldn't help but twitch at this scene. Fortunately, it didn't take a long time for her to come out of her daze as one of the curious students immediately went to request her for an explanation regarding the place.

Alisa didn't look annoyed being disturbed at her sightseeing. She quickly composed herself and answered with a charming-voice, "Don't give me those dubious looks. I know that all of you must be puzzled as to why this building is named Colosseum, while its appearance doesn't resemble it a bit. The answer is on the inside." She paused, glanced at Jerome before continuing, "Let's go inside."

Watching her silvery-hair bobbed up and down due to the motion, instructor Jerome heaved a deep sigh.

On the inside, Kael's mouth involuntarily opened up wide, seeing a spacious lobby with all things painted in white, creating an elegant demeanor. In the center of the room, there is a white-desk with many fake plants lined up alongside the desk.

Noticing the commotion from the main entrance, a woman wearing a school uniform with a red-tie promptly emerged from behind the desk. She threw an amiable smile toward the crowd's direction and asked instructor Alisa, who was at the most upfront, "Hello ma'am, how may I help you?"

"Guide us to chamber one," Alisa requested with a small smile.

"Alright, ma'am. Come this way."
