Party Miyura's Offer

"Hahaha... I don't know why, but this feels really good. It feels the same as humiliating the noble families in the Acedia Era who sided with Xavier," Rafe muttered as he waved his hand at the students watching his fight.

"It's hard to believe, but he can actually nullify his opponent's magic within a certain distance. But there's an exception for magic released from a great distance. It seems like he can't cancel it, or maybe he can, but he doesn't? Either way, he's very interesting," Lola thought as she left the training area.

"His armor plans are really annoying. Even so, it seems that his passive ability only works within a three meter radius of his body, and he can't neutralize the released long-range attacks either. Maybe that's the only drawback, it really deserves to be called Plot Armor," Hayato thought as he looked at Rafe waving his hand from afar.

"Long live Rafe Lostfield!" shouted some of the first year Rank F students who joined in the excitement.

"Rafe Lostfield!" shouted the first year Rank E students, who were happy that the student considered weaker than them could beat even seven second year Rank B students.

The angry second-year students seemed to disperse, followed by the rest of the students, and the C, B, and A rank students seemed to be upset that the battle was not what they had imagined. Some of the other noble descendants even grumbled, thinking that the mace had humiliated the other noble descendants.

"Tch. I should have been in that position," Hayato grumbled as he left the training ground.

The first year Rank F students immediately entered the field to applaud Rafe's success, while the second year Rank B students entered the field to carry Mace and his unconscious friends.

"You can do it, Rafe," praised one Rank F student as he approached Rafe.

"Hehehe... It's not much, I'm just paying back those who were arrogant in our room," Rafe replied with a happy laugh.

"Do you want to party with me?" an F-rank girl asked, smiling at Rafe.

"Hehehe... sorry, I'm not going to anyone's party. I already have my own party," Rafe said with a smile.

"Eh, too bad," said some disappointed Rank F students.

"Please make way!" a woman's voice suddenly shouted from outside the crowd of Rank F students.

Everyone, including Rafe, turned their attention to her as Miyura, Zoa, Van Ugo, Fia and Cindy approached. The Rank F students immediately gave way when they saw the gold emblem with the number three engraved on their clothes.

"Rafe Lostfield," Miyura said as he looked at Rafe.

"You were the ones who attacked me at the market," Rafe said, pointing at Miyura.

"Oh, you were the one who fell victim to the Fugitive's illusionary abilities," Miyura said as she pointed the spear in her hand at Rafe.

"What do you want? Do you want to fight me?" asked Rafe, looking at Miyura.

"Even though I forgot about that incident after I got the compensation," Rafe continued while looking at Miyura's other friend.

A splash of water seemed to envelop Miyura's spear, but it didn't last long as the splash disintegrated without forming anything. Miyura immediately tied her spear to her back again.

"There's no mistake, I can't use my magic near him," Miyura thought.

"Miyura," Fia said as she saw her friend still staring at Rafe.

"Rafe Lostfield, I have a good offer for you. Join my party," Miyura said with a serious look on her face.

Suddenly, all the Rank F students who heard this were surprised, as were the other members of Miyura's party. But Rafe laughed at the offer of his senior at the academy.

"Your offer is not good at all. I already have my own party and I won't join another until I die," Rafe refused without hesitation.

"Oh, is the party one of them?" asked Miyura, looking at the other F-rank students.

"No, it's not. But another party," Rafe replied.

"Tch. So there's already a more formidable senior recruiting you," Miyura grumbled with an annoyed look on her face.

"I guess I never heard your rejection Rafe, you can come to me if you change your mind," Miyura continued as she turned around before Rafe could answer.

"One thing you must remember Rafe, joining a party that is strong and has a high status will benefit you. Especially now that the noble descendants will definitely start targeting you to be eliminated or expelled from the Elexia Academy, so don't make the mistake of choosing a party," Van Ugo said while looking at Rafe.

"Hehehe... you don't have to worry," Rafe replied.

"The people around him will also be targeted, so you should not get too close to him, remember that you have become adventurers from today. Your death can come anytime and anywhere," Zoa said, looking at the other F-rank students.

Party Miyura immediately left the crowd of Rank F students. All the other Rank F students looked panicked after hearing Party Miyura's words, realizing the danger that lurked if they got too close to Rafe. Although deep inside, they were happy to see Rafe humiliate the noble descendants.

"Like they said, don't get too close to me, don't be naive, protect yourself because the only one who can protect you is you, I won't be able to protect all of you, don't pin your hopes and safety on me, I'm not a hero," Rafe said with a smile.

"You're right," said several other Rank F students.

At that moment, all the Rank F students dispersed from the training field. Rafe was the last Rank F student to leave the training ground. In the distance, a second-year Rank B student looked sharply at Rafe, but Rafe didn't care.

"It is allowed to kill in duels, what a strange rule. Even though killing fellow adventurers has been forbidden since I was a child, adventurers who violate this rule will be hated by other adventurers. Besides, there is no difference in status between one adventurer and another, who exactly made such a ridiculous rule?" Rafe muttered as he looked up at the sky.

That day, all the Rank F students returned home to collect their supplies, and Rafe and Hayato also returned to their inn. That night was the last time they stayed at the inn.

The next day, Rafe and Hayato took their clothes to Elexia Academy. On the way, they also saw some first-year students heading to Elexia Academy while carrying supplies.

All first year students were immediately directed to the academy dormitory at the end of the academy grounds. The dormitory area was at a higher place than the other building areas, so all the students had to climb up the foot of the mountain for a while to reach the dormitory area.

There were thirty-two buildings in the dormitory area, each separated by a garden and a fish pond. Unlike the classrooms, this time the Rank F dormitory building is the smallest. However, the Rank F buildings of the first year are much larger than the Rank F buildings of the second year and the following years.

The Rank A Dormitory is the most luxurious and largest of the buildings, the Rank S Dormitory and the Rank Hero Dormitory are even much smaller than the Rank C Dormitory. Each dormitory is surrounded by a garden area and there is a fish pond behind the dormitory, of course the garden and fish pond of the Rank A Dormitory are the largest.

The rules of the academy dormitories are the same as those of the academy classrooms, high-ranking students can enter the dormitories of lower-ranked students, but not vice versa. There were Ruttera Kingdom soldiers stationed around the construction area of the C, B, and A class dormitories, but not around the F, E, and D class dormitories.

This morning, all of the freshmen had gone to their respective dormitories to choose their rooms and store their supplies. Rafe and Hayato had chosen their rooms as well.

"The room is so small, there's just a bed and a closet," Rafe said as he came out of his room after storing his supplies.

"I think it's like a dog kennel, it's not suitable for a main character like me," grumbled Hayato, whose room was just to the right of Rafe's.

"Ah, you chose the room next to me, Rafe, apparently," said a Rank F student who lived just to the left of Rafe's room.

"Oh, you Pino, it just so happens that this room is unoccupied," Rafe replied.

"Oh, Rafe. We're neighbors," said an F-rated student coming out of the room across the hall from Rafe's room.

"Hehehe... we're in the same house, why should we be called neighbors, Nlo," Rafe said with a smile.

"Oi. What does that mean? How long have they known each other? I've never even heard them talk to each other," thought Hayato, who was surprised to see another F-rank student already getting to know Rafe.

"A nameless NPC like you should be proud to be near the room of a main character like me," Hayato said while wiping his bangs.

"Eh? The fart guy is near our room too?" said Nlo.

"I hope you don't fart too much in here, it'll stink up my room and Rafe's room," said Pino. Rafe and Nlo laughed.

"Oi. Isn't that bullying the main character? What kind of world is this?" thought Hayato.

"Let's look around and see where the girls' rooms are," Nlo said, looking at Rafe.

"You guys go ahead," Rafe said.

Pino and Nlo left Rafe immediately. Hayato himself immediately crouched down and leaned his back against the door of his room.

"What happened to you?" asked Rafe as he looked at Hayato.
