"My dreams are shattered"

Well, no need to be stuck on it, let's first assess my situation.

'Seems like I'm kinda rich, my parents are nobles pretty high in the hierarchy, so my future is basically set even if I fail at the academy.'

'As for a little summary of my past self, I was a little lazy, didn't talk to many people except two, that are my childhood friends.'

'I also had no mana, which took away all my possibilities of becoming a good hunter, but I was quite intelligent, and everyone believed that I would go to some non-combat branch of Hunter Academies'

'As for the game . . . it is a collision of two genres, basically, there are villains, dungeons, and hunters. Hunters kill villains - for money - and raid dungeons - for money. This makes it more interesting so I'm not complaining.'

'The ITAAS Hunter Academy is the most prestigious academy in the world, getting hundreds of thousands of applications every year, but less than 1% get in.'

'You can leave the academy ONLY with the permission of the vice principal or the principal, and that too for at most a week every 2 months. Students get a vacation of a month at the end of every year.'

*sigh* I'll just start training cursed energy.

Tch

'That is very fair'

I then sat down started trying to feel cursed energy. Slowly, I started to get the hang of it.

I started to output a constant amount of cursed energy, which was pretty large, as apparently the system only locked my cursed techniques, so I still had the basically limitless cursed energy.

After 10 minutes of doing so . . .

[Cursed Energy proficiency +0.2%]

I then tried to make it flow in my body, from my head down to my toes and back up to my fingers.

After 20 minutes of doing this . . .

[Cursed Energy proficiency +0.2%]

'This is pretty hard to do'

I then got the most wonderful idea ever, usually in novels, people completely exhaust their energy reserves and the next time they wake up they have more of it, so why not try it once?

I started emitting cursed energy from my body at a quick rate, but I had so much of it that it took a loooooong time to finish it. I started feeling...weak. Maybe a little dizzy but mostly weak, I didn't pass out, well I guess that's a good thing.

I slowly started to get my cursed energy back.

[Cursed Energy proficiency +0.05]

[Cursed Energy proficiency +0.07]

[Cursed Energy proficiency +0.03]

[ . . . ]

'This actually worked, but it was too slow, I'll have to keep this in mind, maybe it'll be more beneficial in the future.'

I slowly got up and decided to have food before going to sleep.

.

I was thinking about my plans for the future, since nobody will expect me to be strong, it would be good if I appear average in the academy.

BUT, where's the fun in that?

I want to destroy the entire system of the world, maybe even rule it later, and it all starts with being at the top of the academy, to be the one feared by all.

People say that main characters are disaster magnets, which means that I HAVE to be around them then.

But, there is a big problem . . . this mansion is too big and I can't find my way to the dining room.
