Chapter 11: Auspicious.

Arriving with Tom at the next class, we both took a seat at the back, everyone seemed to ignore us as they both focus at the teacher in front.

"Welcome again my students! Today we will be having a test, I hope you studied about our lessons last night." Tetuclise took test papers from his bag and distributed it to us. I looked at the test papers questions and found that it was kinda easy. Except this question that involves a whole essay for me to answer; 'What does Giryote change in our body that makes it improve our overall status?' I just answered something I've thought of to be cool, and passed it to the teacher.

After the class we went to the other class that Ms. Katerina frequented to, the academy grounds. Though I've noticed that Ms. Katerina had something up her sleeve.

"Hello again my healthy babies! I would just like to inform you that, I've been called for duty by the dean for a classified mission and I wanted to appoint a leader to guide you all in your class. I won't be leaving immediately so I have time to teach the appointed leader some tips to keep you in your toes."

"Yes! Ma'am!"

"Good, Don't be shocked at who I appoint so here's the grand reveal. So... I appoint Virule Hearst to be the leader."

"I initially just wanted to pick the top performing student in this class but I had a bright idea. I'll pick the lowest performing student and you will keep an eye on him, okay?"

"Huh...?" The students all looked at me like I've eaten dung on a road. Welp... this was unexpected I thought I could just chill in exercising in this class but I think fate had other plans.

"Alright, you can all start your warm up. Oh and Virule? Meet me at the end of your next class. I'll be waiting at room 10." The other boys looked at me like they were the ones who ate dung on the road. There was also that one student who smash the ground with his fist because of jealousy. I didn't mind their antics as I started to do my warm ups.

Class ended anticlimactically and we proceeded to history class. There was a new topic that Mr. Gunmer introduced this time.

"A long...long...time ago...When Heroes rose to take back the lands. There was a prophecy, it was about a child much older than all...of you...He is said to bring back the Gods to the land, bring prosperity and a new power. This was a prophecy that is already fulfilled...yet there was something...something missing from history...that all of the scribes tried to connect to...but alas they never found out...It was a prophecy about doom...where lands become corrupted and blood flooded the waters. It was a time of death and the only hope for that is to find the hero that will save us all..." Gunmer stopped and looked at us.

"Maybe one of you brats would be the hero the prophecy should be talking about, so don't slack off!"

"Sigh...you are all the hope of humanity, never betray it because if you do, we will fall into the horrors again..." I felt a chill in my neck, though I would usually ignore prophetic callings like these in my past life but thinking that it could happen here could make everyone's life a hell.

I once thought of becoming a hero too when I got reincarnated in another world but being a hero without cheats means I would take the hardest path possible to save the lands but I don't think I could even do that. I couldn't even gather Giryotes right now and this may make me become a below-average character.

So if I think about it clearly, Rizu would more likely be the so called Hero in this world not me. He has everything I don't have, a goal, a drive and most of all companions that could keep up with him.

Though Dairia is literally pretty childish right now but that doesn't mean she would be in the future too, she's talented and is worthy in being called an elite and there's also Ivery, though I don't know her personality, I do know that she has a rich and resourceful family based on the protective trinkets she has. I also expect other people they uniquely meet would complement the synergy of their group.

"Sigh...I know I'm just an extra but I don't complain about it at all. I would just try to survive and help Rizu if I could if it ever comes in the future." I never thought of about my dreams, my goal here. I don't know if I would even be able to realize it until it's too late...Yirene told me I don't need to have a goal right now, just doing what I do best and improving it would do me good.

Tomorrow, we didn't have classes which meant I could now explore the Capital, I only wanted to sightsee and identify some ingredients in making a solution about my problem with Giryotes. I had 30 belets that I haven't used yet, maybe I could buy something meaningful with these.

Welp, I'm still not done at school yet, gotta go to room 10 where Ms. Katerina is...

I found the room and knocked on the door. The door opened by itself and I waltz in. There I saw Ms. Katerina still in her uniform yet she seems to be reading a book which she was invested in reading. I didn't interrupt her immediately, but after 5 minutes I did.

"Oh, Virule, you're here...pardon my hobby, I just like reading."

"No, I do understand the fascinations we have while reading so I didn't interrupt you abruptly." I said dodging her eyes and staring at the background.

"Hmm... You know...You blend in well with your classmates, I noticed."

"What does that mean?"

"I mean that you are smarter than you look."

"Well...thank you but I don't see myself being worth your time and the compliments Ma'am..." My demeanor changed due to her constant checks on me.

"Okay, I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable, I can directly teach you the lessons we will have in the next meeting. I hope you will teach your unruly classmates the course alright? I'm not expecting anything good but I do hope you make it worthwhile for them."

"That I could not promise, I don't see myself as a leader to anyone, I only see myself in everyone."

"That's quite a unique view you have Mr. Hearst, but your view doesn't really affect the overall situation that have been place for you now. I already know you are bored by my activities so I just wanted to spice it up by bringing you a fun and enjoyable experience."

"More like suffering and torture but I won't complain, I readily accept my situation."

"Good, If only you were just a bit talented in harnessing Giryotes maybe someone would have sponsored you don't you think so?" I raised an eyebrow at her point.

"I understand, yet I will continue to disappoint them if that would ever come to be. I only have my tongue and my cunning but my talent? I can only be a hindrance to those who expect potential elites."

"Alright I see your point, but I'll be keeping an eye on you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, I think we should start the advance lessons right now."

"Agreed." The advanced lessons were all about specific movements that I kinda recognized as different diluted yoga stances, there was even some martial art stances that Ms. Katerina classically taught me about. I managed to copy her moves and go through the flow that she wanted me to see. To be honest, the training that Ms. Katerina taught me was not that complicated because even a child would get it with enough training however one thing I've noticed while doing this was that there was something merging with the air. I felt it in my hands yet it disippated from my hands quickly probably due to Giryotes hating me.

"You've grasped the meaning of the stances already but you can't even harness Giryotes. It is quite unusual for that to happen. I don't think you would even graduate from 1st year if you don't have the power to harness Giryotes because the ceremony for 2nd years is how they would individually form their supernatural power, classifying their Giryotes into a known category."

"I'll find a solution for it. I would not fall so quickly from a small obstacle."

"Then may the Gods bless you."

"Thank you. I'll be going now it's starting to go late..."

"Of course, of course. Have a great day tomorrow!"

"Have a great day too Ms. Katerina!"

I now have to be more careful with my movements from now on, people here always gives me a different feeling, a feeling that everyone would and could be dangerous depending on their mood, if I had power then they'll think twice in checking me, I'm not angry just cautious or maybe my paranoia is getting me into something.
