Emelia

After Emelia left the cafeteria, her dorm was where she spent most of her time. Emelia gritted her teeth in anger as she remembered what happened and how the second-year students treated them.

"-You are to attend the universal academy if you want to be strong enough..." A calm voice said.

"Why? Why can't I just train in the tribe instead?" A young innocent voice, filled with a bit of childishness and curiosity asked.

"-Why…you say? If you really want to know, you must work hard enough and train yourself during this period." The voice calmly replied.

"-Also you must remember the academy isn't a paradise, there are people you should be wary of and rules you should try to obey no matter how hard it might seem, you should only endure." The calm voice gradually muttered.

"-You should go and play, let's continue tomorrow."

For an instant her mind drifted to a voice in her head, when she recalled the voice rather than making her feel at ease and relieve, she felt more angered and helpless.

She had thought even though her academic life was not going to be fun, she had never once thought there would be people trying to force her to the usual yielding against others.

Emelia remembered how she was treated by the second-year students like she didn't even exist, especially how she was referred to as trash.

They kept talking as if they were trying to help them, they felt as though whatever warning they were issuing was only natural since she was just a weak girl in the midst of other weaklings.

Unfortunately, no matter how much she hated them and resented the looks on their faces there was only so much she could do by herself. This was the bitter truth, but she felt they were rather bullshitting because they were strong.

While she knew the academy would be full of ups and downs, she was still surprised by their shitty attitudes.

She was powerless to stop their judgments and since she still needed to graduate from the academy she could either become much stronger or endure by following their rules.

One of the reasons for coming to the academy besides coming to the academy because for special reasons was to train herself and build up herself since she had always wanted to be some kind of hero to her tribe and repay them back for their teachings. However, she was starting to doubt if she made the right decision by coming to the academy.

Still, that wouldn't stop her from wanting to be the hero of her tribe and showing them how much she had improved.

Soon the break time was over and Bernard felt he was no longer hungry, and felt he should return to class to rejoin the upcoming lesson since this was the first lesson he wanted to leave a good impression in front of the lecturer Greg.

After walking for a while, he could see Ryan it seemed like he was acting cautious and was trying to sneak past a building that led to the the class their lesson was being held. At first, he thought of calling out to him but on second thought he decided to not alert whoever Ryan was trying to avoid by moving toward him in a stealth manner.

When he got close to Ryan after his initial surprise, he told Bernard he had been tracking a bunch of rank 2s students in the hallway. Ryan then pointed at a few shadows standing beside the stairs, however, they soon realize if they wanted to attend the class they would have to walk right through the stair which meant they would come into contact with the students.

While Ryan was thinking, the only thing he was confused about was why Bernard would be acting as cautious as him, afterall he was strong enough to face a strong rank 2 before he obviously shouldn't be afraid of a bunch of them now. He felt from the looks of things, Bernard was just trying to avoid creating trouble.

After a while of thinking, they decided they had no choice if they wanted to attend the lesson.

From afar they could see a bunch of first-year students, whom they soon came upon as they walk on the metal gliding staircase which was gliding to the downward.

"What do you guys think? Our savings have been taken from us as some sort of fee. Yet they still expect us to bring more credit points for them, not considering where we would get it from." An unwilling voice could be heard in the hallway, the voice sounded hoarse from the annoyance in the boy's tone.

While, he seemed like he was reporting to his friends for solutions however he knew they couldn't do anything since they were in the same situation as well, so he was more or less trying to vent his frustration. Even though he wanted to curse out loudly, he was afraid the people he was paying the fee to would hear him so he held whatever curse he had in his mouth back in.

"It's fine man, after all, we can only bullshit our way out of this mess. Not like we are strong enough to do shit except endure." Another voice said helplessly, even though he had so many complaints they couldn't do anything after all it wasn't like it was the first time it was happening, at most they just had to make sure they had enough credits to give back by the end of the week.
