Normal school day

" A lie, it's a lie. Being a cultivator will not make you smarter, not makes your brain work faster, it's all utterly bullshit. So this is why there are so many retard cultivator even though their already old. " he said, while looking to his almost crumpled test paper.

" Psst, stop taking to yourself. The teacher might taught that were cheating. " his friend Karl whisper to Allen.

' Tsk...staying in the other world for 1 year is enough for me to forget all the lessons. ' Allen thought internally, all his skills are useless in front of his ' hawkeye teacher '.

' Guess I'll just practice to use Cursed Energy, rather than to think of something that I don't understand. ' Allen thought.

Then he look left and right, and see that almost all his classmates are focusing on their test paper. He immediately take the { Control Cursed Energy 101 } and hide under his test paper.

' Cursed energy said that it can be found within almost to all humans beings. It was was located inside mind and heart, need to focus my mind and locate the energy, stop the leaking, and solidify it for me to use it as the fuel for Cursed Technique. ' Allen said internally.

Then he close his eyes and focus on locating the cursed energy inside him.

( A/N : Don't know how they train )

" Mr. Allen " a voice sounded inside the classroom.

" Hey wake up, Allen. " Karl, his seatmate shake the unresponsive Allen.

" Ha ? " Allen who notice that someone was shaking him stop from meditating.

" What ha ? Your in the middle of the test and not just you didn't answer any questions, but you even dare to sleep. Come with me to my office. " the Teacher said angrily to Allen and walk out.

" What happen ? " Allen ask his friend.

" The test are already ended 5 minutes ago. Dude you have guts to sleep in test. You better follow the teacher before he call your parent. " Karl anwer him.

Allen follow his teacher toward his office.

' I shouldn't train in the classroom, but I could see and feel the cursed energy inside my body. Just need more training before I could stop it from leaking and solidify it. ' Allen thought as he arrive in the teacher's faculty office.

" Hm ? What are you doing here, Allen ? " Alexia, Allen's second cousin said to him when she notice him.

" You know each other, Alexia ? " Allen's teacher ask the girl.

" Yes, Mr. Evangelista, he's my second cousin. " Alexia answer the teacher.

" Tch...Mr. Allen, you should set Alexia as example for yourself. Look at your cousin, Alexia, not just he slept in my class, but he didn't also answer his test paper. " Mr. Evangelista said.

" I think this is his first time, Sir. I think he just have some problem in his mind. " Alexia verbally protect him.

" Sigh, I know, even I was surprised by his behavior. Mr. Allen, this is the last warning, if you ever do the same thing again. I will call your parent, understand ? " he said.

" Thank you; Sir, and it won't happen again. " Allen bow a little then walk out of the faculty office followed by Alexia.

" Is there a problem in your house ? " Alexia ask him the moment they left the faculty office.

" None " he nonchalantly answer.

" Hmm; you know what, you've changed " Alexia said.

Allen stop walking before he answer. " That's what my friend also said to my changes in my body. "

" Not physically, well you really changed physically, but what I'm saying is mentally. Even in the family reunion, you can't talk to me for more than minutes, but now, we're alone in the corridor, and your still not running or hasten steps. " Alexia said to him.

" I don't know how to comment with that. " then he continue to walk until they arrive on his classroom. " I'll be going now. "

" Un, don't do that thing again or else, I will tell to auntie or uncle. " Alexia reprimanded him.

" Yes, yes, Ms. President. " Allen answer her before entering his classroom.

Alexia look at his back until he disappear, then she also walk toward her classroom.

" You survived ? " Karl said followed by the other boys.

" Just a little sermon..." he said.

" Tch, you shouldn't-- the next subject teacher is here. " Karl said before returning into their seat.

The morning class went goes by without anything happen.

* Ring * * ring *

" Class dismissed. " their teacher said, then she walk out of their classroom.

All Allen's friend walk toward him and invited him for lunch.

" Where are we going to eat lunch ? " he ask.

" Outside, the canteen's food are getting bland. " Lloyd said to him and the others agreed.

" What about your girlfriends ? Aren't you always taking lunch together ? " Allen ask because he remember that he always see them having lunch together with their own girlfriends.

" It's not a big deal, Marie won't break up with me because of a mere lunch, right guys ? " he said then ask the other.

The other look at him with doubtful look.

" Hey, what's with that look. Don't look at me like that James, your always shouting with your girlfriend. " he said with a fake anger.

" It's called flirtng, your still amateur. " James said with a smug.

Seeing their behavior, Allen remember all his demon friend, especially Akaza.

' That guy won't stop pestering me if I don't fight with him ' he thought.

" So, where are we going to eat ? " he ask.

" There. " Karl pointed a small fast food restaurant.

" Isn't that --? " hus word was cut off by Lloyd.

" Yup, this is your ' crush ' family business. But, we didn't come here to tease you okay, it's just the food here is delicious. " Lloyd said.

" Sigh, how many times I told you...never mind let's just eat. " Allen and his friends then enter the small restaurant.

They take a vacant table before saying their orders to the waitress.

" Miss, student meals for 6 person please. " Karl said.

" Wait a little. " then the waitress walk toward the kitchen.

While waiting, the door of the restaurant open again and a group of eight students from another school enter.

Allen ignore them, but his friends look at the new costumer and said.

" Look Allen, that's the basketball captain from Saint Academy who's courting Catherine. " his friend said in small voice.

" So ? " he said normally. Allen look at the one he is pointing at. Very tall for a normal student, well built, a little bit handsome, and the way he talk to his classmates and wear his uniform, Allen knew that this guy is the leader of their group.

His friend look to him with bland look and said. " It means he's your rival. "

" How many times I told you, I don't have crush with this Catherine. " he said making the other students from another school heard him.

" Thank you for waiting " a new girl brought their orders and place it on their tables.

His friends look at the girl, and quite surprised.

" Cath--Catherine ? Eh ? You're here ? " Karl said, he is feeling awkward by the sudden turn of situation.

" Obviously, my parent own this restaurant, and I'm helping them every lunch when I'm free. " she said to Karl, then she look to Allen.

" Aren't you the guy from the canteen last week ? You've changed, don't worry I don't have any intention to date someone. " she said politely.

" Thank you for clarifying it, and don't worry, even I don't have any intention to date someone also. " He said to her while eating his food, then Allen look toward his friends.

" Hear that guys, she doesn't have any intention to date, so don't ' ship ' me with her. " he said making Catherine's imaginary vein pop out.
