''You can always summon your status window by calling out in your mind, you can try it,'' Elena added, that she was not explaining something new when she said this but the students still did and a transparent status window, a mix of black and golden appeared right before everyone's eyes.

As expected of the students of the Elite classroom, they possessed exceptional stats.

Noah observed his status window and sighed.

'Not bad but I could have done better but there's no need to cry over a spilled milk. I must focus on the advancement class. Everything will start once I get a class.' He silently thought, his goal is to stand at the top, to be the strongest, it's childish but no one can't take it away from him, only by becoming the strongest would he get the answers he wanted.

Suddenly remembering he was still in class, Noah threw those thoughts to the back of his head and looked ahead.

Elena happened to be talking at the moment.

''I know you all have been eager to acquire a class and I understand this feeling, you are only considered a Player when you get a class.''

Everyone nodded at Elena's words.

''You are really lucky, no luck didn't have anything to do with you being in this classroom, it's all thanks to your efforts. Tomorrow you'll have the chance to advance in one of our special facilities.''

''Wow!"

''I can't wait.''

''Me too.''

The students could not contain their joy upon learning this news, they worked hard to get into this classroom to enjoy the few perks this Elite classroom has to offer. They'll get a head start before the others, when it would take one or two weeks for the others to get a class after enrolling in the academy, it only takes them a few days.

Some may say it's unfair to others but this is reality. Life has been and will always be unfair. It is what makes life worth living because those who didn't want to suffer this unfairness will try harder to be in a better position.

''Silence! I know you're happy but quiet down a bit will you?" Elena admonished her students and facing her menacing glare, they quickly closed their mouths.

''Well, I understand your enthusiasm. You deserve it, I hope you will all acquire awesome classes, a lot of Elite classes, and maybe a few Unique classes.'' Elena smiled as she encouraged her students, said students' eyes were shining and they vowed not to disappoint their teacher.

Elena nodded upon sensing the right mood, she could feel her student's fighting spirit and desire to accomplish greater things. Her tactic seems to have worked.

She suddenly recalled a quote from her mentor.

'What the relaxed student who feels safe will learn with ease, the tense or frightened student will struggle with. A teacher thus must always realize that the right emotional environment is key to the art of teaching.'

'Indeed, you're right teacher. I'll lead these children to greater heights, I'm blessed this year to have so many outstanding students from prestigious backgrounds.'

Elena's eyes quickly scanned the classroom, stopping a few seconds on a certain number of students. A golden-eyed handsome boy, a blue-eyed one, a black-haired one with red eyes, an ice beauty with amber eyes.

'I'm truly blessed.' Elena murmured before looking at her students again before continuing with the lecture.

''Let's talk about mana, who can explain to me what mana is?''

She asked while looking at her students, her eyes suddenly stopped on Noah, she recalled him, the first to get a perfect score, that man's son.

''Noah, why don't you tell us what mana is, huh?"

Noah stood up despite not wanting to, he still had to answer the question.

''Mana is a magic source, it is like the air we breathe and it's essential for players because many skills work relying on mana.''

Noah sank back into his seat after giving this simple answer.

''Not bad. Like Noah said mana is like air, it was thanks to the mana's storm, players were born and we develop to this day. All living beings possess mana within them, but despite this, not everybody is able to control these powers as not everyone can become a player.''

''Most of you because you haven't gotten a class believe Mana has no real use, it's a fake belief, Mana is everything, and your skills work thanks to Mana. While Mana's usage varies, depending on your Class, all players must possess this. Let me explain it to you for you to understand.''

Elena paused and observed her student's face and after seeing how concentrated they were, she smiled and continued her lecture on Mana.

''A Swordsman, I mean someone with the common Class of Swordsman will say what use Mana have for me to waste my precious skill points on because I'm not a Magic Swordsman? This is a twisted belief because the Aura both Swordsman or Spearman use are Mana converted in a form to fit that player.''

Most of the students widened their eyes, and only a few weren't surprised. Noah knew this thanks to his father's teaching, and the same thing for Arthur and the others.

''Knight's Blessing and other things work because of Mana. Every Class relies somehow on Mana, some Class more heavily than the other, for example, the Mage class.''

''Well, what I'm trying to say here is simple, do not neglect this specific stat. Even if your stats will increase randomly by 1 or 2 points every level up, you should sometimes use the Skill Points earned to increase the Mana's stat because this might come in handy on your road.''

Elena's students nodded, taking their teacher's advice to the heart.

''Good, let's move onto the next subject, it's another warning.'' Elena immediately began her next lecture.
