Another day at the institution

The next morning when Isiah was in the bathroom taking a shower before going to school, he took a lot of time looking at his face in the mirror.

Somehow what Adelita said to him kept messing around his mind, in this world people tend to take showers before going to bed, that was it. But Isaih didn't adapt to that habit, and instead, he continued to take showers in the morning and also before bed like on earth, it was some sort of connecting with his old self, he didn't want to completely lose himself to this place, that's why he kept some of his old habits.

His mother Lisa thought at the beginning that he was weird for doing that, but she got used to it eventually.

He had dark hair that gently hung over his fresh menacing face, deep black eyes with black circles underneath them because of his lack of sleep, he had to admit it but in the world, he looked way better than in his previous body.

Because of his lack of magic powers, he worked so hard to upgrade his physical strength and that is why he had a well-built body.

His skin was tan due to his constant hunting with his dad, and also gardening with his mother.

The skin tone he had was more tan than his classmates, that's why he looked unique compared to them.

Probably he didn't notice but something was mystifying about him, perhaps it was his indifference or simply his lack of confidence to socialize more with everyone in this world.

He focused a bit on his eyes, he couldn't understand what Adelita meant when she said that she didn't like the look in his eyes, and because of his low self-esteem he just thought he looked terrible in her eyes.

He didn't even know the beauty standards in this place but for sure in his past world, he would have been considered handsome.

He put a towel to cover his lower body, and another on his hair and headed to his room to wear his clothes. Anyone would notice the change of skin tone in his body. His face and arms and legs look much tan than the other parts.

On his way to his room, his father stopped him and said:" In only five days there will be a triple full moon, you should keep it quiet during this period ".

" I know ", Isiah said without looking into his eyes ..

"Look at me when I talk to you …."His dad bit his lower lip then continued:"Don't mess with that Laucarious kid again, I am warning you, people are triggered even by seeing you breathing, don't go too far to test their patience " .

Isiah nodded with his head, then tried to walk away but Johnathan said:"Don't mess around !".

His dad was threatening for sure, so he nodded again and then walked towards his room, but this time he did it as fast as he could.

He wore a black tunic with black pants, dried his hair with a towel then went to the institution after that.

Samuel had his face bruised still, and the moment he saw him he started to badmouthing him to everyone, trying to make him lose control again but Isiah ignored him completely and tried to focus on anything but him.

When the last class ended, their teacher tapped his fist on his bureau, then said loudly enough so that they would be able to hear him:" kids, listen to me, I have a statement ", mister Lautner said with a firm voice.

He was one of their teachers this year, and he was one of the best in this field, he specialized in botany.

This year's program consisted of the spiritual and magical powers of plants, and he mastered explaining that to them because he always gives them some to practice at home.

"In five days the triple full moon will happen, so this is our last class for this period ".

" Mister, are you going back to your region today ", One of his classmates named Lizy said.

" Yes, in the meantime please stay safe, and be cautious " .

"I wish that we could leave this place like you do mister Lautner ", Another classmate named Garen said.

" Don't worry, when you finish school and pass the evaluation test, you will have the power to level up and leave this place ", Lautner said with a smile on his face.

" When I level up I will never look back, I will keep leveling up, going back here is just something that I won't even consider, sir ", Samuel said with a sarcastic smile on his face.

Basically, he was stating that his teacher made a bad decision.

"Everyone has the free will to do whatever they want, and if you are referring to us, your teachers, then I must tell you that not everyone has the luxury to leave everything behind them, I have a family here and I have to be with them, we are not allowed to take anyone with us when leveling up….and for some of us it will always tire us to this place".

" That's why you choose to teach? Because teachers are the only ones who are allowed to go back to the region under them ", Another classmate named Sika said .

" I hate to say it this way, but yeah, every teacher here has an unfinished business with the place, to me I don't even want to level up again because then I will lose the autorisation to be here".

Isiah kept looking outside the window while listening to his teacher talking that way. It was the first time he explained to them how the system really works, and it felt like he wasn't satisfied with it.

His teacher was talking about his experience with the leveling up system, but to Isiah, he was seeing a man in his forties unable to think for himself or do the right thing for his future.

Mister Lautner was a weak man, and with this new idea, he realized that every teacher in this place is a weak person that can't control his destiny.

They give the teacher a pass for teaching and living in this place after leveling up, and they force them to go back when the triple full moon happens, they don't want to lose their experienced workers.

People here are expendable until they level up and become a higher creatures in their eyes, still, it would not be enough until they reach the higher point of the pyramid.

" This is absurd, don't you think? you are leaving like a coward every time the triple full moon happens, how are you even looking at your family's eyes after that ", Isiah said while looking seriously into his teacher's eyes.

The notion of family relationships has already deteriorated in his eyes, and that's why he needed to ask that question but by doing that he just opened the hell gates on himself.
