Protagonist...

Drake closed his eyes. Everything around him was interesting, but he was not in the mood.

From morning Kane's behavior was strange, the guy only told him how to make connections with this and that, but not once did he mention how to increase their strength.

Now that he knew all the members of this protagonist group have at least gold affinity. He realized potential would play a huge role in strength.

He did not know the difference between each potential, but with his bare minimum copper potential, he understood that compared to these high-potential students; he was in a much worse state.

The idea of depending on others just made him sad. He wanted to live on his own terms but now… He asked Kane, <Hey do we really need to depend on these guys? Can't just our own thing?>

After a few minutes of silence, Kane said, [I don't want to tell you this but fck it. You remember about the maid's sister thing, right?]

<Oh yeah. Where is she?> He opened his eyes and sat back.

[Well, she is in this class, but I don't know her name or how she looks. All I know is she will confront you tomorrow morning. ]

<Tomorrow okk.>

[We need to stop her at all costs. If failed, then things might go according to the novel.]

< And how does it go in the novel?>

[In the novel you will go against the protagonist. That bastard will thrash you and end your career. There is no way to return after that and let me tell you, no matter what I pulled out of my ass, beating that guy is impossible for you.]

<Ah so we will join this protagonist group to avoid the clash.>

[Yeah, wait till the end of this class. You will understand everything.]

<mmm >

At this moment, a loud echoed throughout the class.

"Attention."

This jolted him up, and he saw a beautiful lady in a red dress standing behind the podium on the stage. This surprised him as he did not notice when she entered the class. Others around him also had confusion on their face.

The lady smiled at them and said, "I am Luna Misnoy. The personal instructor of class 1. I will also be responsible for 'The basic of spirit wielder class.' I hope to have a pleasant time with you guys." 

With that, Miss Luna clapped her hand and suddenly a massive pressure came from her, which sent many to the ground. Only a few attentive ones who managed to grab the desk in front remained sitting. 

Instructor Luna shook her head. "If it is a battle, all those on the ground will die first." 

This one statement made everyone pale. 

Not caring about them, Miss Luna continued, "Let me give you the context of your first class. 'The Basic of spirit wielders.' In this class, I will teach you about some of the basics of spirit wielder society, about the pre-academy and what is going to happen here, how can you become strong, what the purpose of the academy is, and a few more things." 

The jolly mood that started with Miss Luna's smile died down as everyone realized the importance of this class. She was about to continue when the gate class creaked open.

Kane's voice came, [The protagonist is here] 

Everyone, including Miss Luna, looked as a few students rushed into the class. Finding Miss Luna standing there, they froze. 

Miss Luna stared at them for a few seconds and asked, "Are you part of class 1?" 

All of them nodded their head. "Yes, mam." 

At this, Miss Luna tapped on the podium and the next moment, all 5 kids fell face down on the floor.

She looked at everyone sitting. "I don't care what family you belong to, nor do I care about your potential. If you want to attend my class, then you have to be on time. Am I clear?" 

Everyone nodded in a hurry, "Yes mam."

All the students on the ground started pleading, "We are sorry mam. Please forgive us this time. We will be on time for the next class."

She looked at them and snapped her finger. This decreased the pressure on those students. 

All of them looked up and continued to plead, "Please forgive us, mam." 

Miss Luna sighed. "It's your first day. That's why I am giving you another chance." 

They got up and bowed down, "Thank you, mam," and started walking to the empty seats when Miss Luna asked them, "What's your name and potential?" 

This made everyone stop in their tracks. Others in the class also focused on them. 

They started speaking their random name with some random potential. Most of them had gold-grade affinity. Only the last two boys standing together left. 

The one with the black hair was the first. He gave a slight bow to everyone in the class and said, "Good morning everyone, I am Chris, and my spirit potential is at legendary grade in light element."

Silence fell in the class.

For a second, it felt like everything froze. Then came the blast of emotional surprise. 

"What the hell?" 

"Dude, did I hear it, right? Legendary!" 

"Ahh, I am not dreaming. It is true."

"I know him. He came with us." 

"Really, tell me which family he belongs to?"

"Ahh, actually, I think he did not belong to any of the top families." 

"What…." 

That one introduction made this above-average guy the star of the class. He even felt Chris became slightly more pleasant after that intro.

 A few of the boys started bragging about how they knew Chris and many of the girls had stars in their eyes.

He mumbled in a low tone, "so that the protagonist."

[Yeah]

He now understood the protagonist's aura that Kane was talking about. Out of nowhere, Chris came and became the center of attraction.

The guy with grey hair standing next to Chris said, "Hello everyone. I am Sam and my potential is at legendary grade in space element." 

Waaaaat! 

[What!] 

"What!"

Everyone in the class, as well as Kane, shouted loudly. 

He looked in confusion at Sam, as Kane never mentioned him.

'What's going on here? Is this guy also the protagonist?' He wondered.
