The three noble children were flabbergasted by Raymond's reply. They went silent, intently looking at him with their wide eyes. Then one of them spoke up about their demands."You do really want to go the hard way, commoner. Even if you have an A-grade, you are still a commoner, so you have to listen to us."Just as this person said, everyone was surprised. The other students came to a halt and began prying on the scene. They were loud at the time, and that was why they were grabbed onto the scene. However, what they could notice was that, no matter how infuriated the noble children were, Raymond remained calm and unbothered by their tantrums."Hey, commoner. Even if you are backed by General McWorthy, you don't have the right to ignore nobles. That doesn't mean that you are equal to us, even if you are an A-grade.""He is right. Be thankful and be honored that we invited you to join our group. You have been useful to us since you were performing well.""Are you actually a dimwit? If
"Ah, no, it is a casual question, it is not the actual question."Raymond smiled and nodded. "Will I have more points if I answer your question?"Kian was speechless, as were Raymond's classmates. They blankly looked at Raymond with disbelief because of his blunt words. He just blurted it out, and it ended up being an absurd question.Kian had a gap in his lips and he slightly gave an answer, which he was not sure was needed."You will have more points."Raymond was overjoyed. "Yes!" Then he faced Kian. "Okay, teacher, you may now ask me another question.""Does an awakened person have only one Talent?""No, because there is a second awakening and a third awakening. The second awakening mostly happens when the person has already mastered their Talent and has two pure Skills out of it. Meanwhile, the third awakening is so rare that no one could tell when they would awaken again.""And what is the use of the sphere? Can they just use it again and awaken if they like? ""The sphere is no
Everyone went to their seats and left Raymond's place as their teacher went in front of the class and introduced himself."I am Kian Waymoore. I am your adviser and also your main teacher in any subject. There will be just a few adjustments in the future with the other subjects, but for the whole year, we will be together." Kian stated in a monotonous tone, which made the intensity of his aura that much higher.Kian proceeded with taking chalk from the table and drawing something on the chalkboard."First, what you need to learn is what Talent is. It is the most important thing that an awakened person must know. So listen attentively. Talent is crucial. It is the life of an awakened person.""Talents have different types. There were some that were already discovered, but there were some that remained a mystery. For starters, E-grade has the highest similarities with others. Some were for lifestyle, some were for combat, some were for healthcare, and other
Reputation was important for individuals who wanted to establish their names in an organization or environment. Hence, Raymond thought that what if he showed that he was not an easy person to approach? So, on the first day of the academy, it was already clear that his batchmates would be looking at him. It was already that much to think of, as his face was already in public. However, what was not widely known in the public was his attitude. Hence, for the whole two years under the academy, Raymond intended to use his attitude as the major factor for getting people to give him space. But the question was, why would he put much effort into having his own space? 'It is already obvious that the plot changed. Hence, the difficulty changed to the point that it would be difficult for me to filter things out. So, instead of letting other people unintentionally mask my vision, I would push them to have a clear path and a clear vision of what to see.' I
Raymond returned home and celebrated with his family. Gandina, who had assisted and trained him for the past few months, joined the fun of Ramond's family. It was satisfying for Raymond, but later on, he knew what he should focus on.The academy offered board to him, to cater to him to their fullest extent since he was the 4th A-Grader in the village. Even McWorthy was surprised by it, and he immediately revealed his connection with Raymond.Raymond backed it up, and after a week of back-and-forth with the academy and other officials attempting to poach him, he finally had peace of mind."I finally fixed the problem with my family. We are now living financially stable with the help of General McWorthy, but there is still one thing that I wanted to have."It was security for his family. McWorthy could not offer it since his men were focusing on fighting criminals. Even Gandina was just an exception to it and was ordered to protect Raymond's family."I apologize for that, Raymond. But,
Everyone looked at Raymond laid his hands on the orb. The orb was turned on, and the light indicated that the orb was starting to surge with energy to measure Raymond's grade.Five seconds passed, and everyone started to bet on what Raymond's grade could be. But they were simply underestimating him, as they had done to others.But the village elder was confused. Raymond seemed to not care about what was happening to him. His eyes were just staring at the orb with no certain expression, and that made his eyebrows raise in perplexity.'What with this kid?' he asked himself.15...Raymond already passed the 15th mark, which indicated that he was at least higher than a D-Grade. He could be C-Grade, but he passed the 20th mark as well.A B-Grade? That was amazing, and everyone's eyes flickered in amusement and excitement."Wow..."But then, they weren't expecting it. Raymond passed in the 25th second."An A-Grade!"26...27...28...29...Raymond suddenly collapsed away from the orb, and j
Standing in front of a wide building in the Middle District, Raymond had his eyes fixed on it where people of his age were starting to flock and enter the same building.He was nervous. But, despite the nervousness, he had excitement, too, and just looking at different people fueled it.He took a deep breath, then exhaled afterward. And as he got to continue with the flow of the people, he finally entered the building.The building was like an astrodome with unexplainable wideness. The interior had just one-story seats, and the center had a wide stage that seemed to be a stage for entertainment.Raymond assessed the things he had seen and what came into his mind about the stage was that it was for the announcement and for the one-by-one calling of the people.They were not that plentiful, in fact. There could be just hundreds of kids from lower district to higher district, but for Raymond, there were still plenty of people to attend a ceremony.Raymond fell in line and followed the ma
"The Trident Org disappeared once again. Before, they had killed a few important individuals in the Higher District. I did not expect that they would appear in the Middle District.""How did you know about them, Sir?" Raymond asked."I heard about the Trident Org, but I didn't know about their symbol. It was only when I asked one of my colleagues about the trident symbol."Raymond put the pieces together. It could be that he just forgot about it, but he didn't have any recollection of the Trident Org.A question then popped into his mind about how he could taunt the people who sent those assassins."Where did you put their bodies, Sir?" Raymond asked again."I put them in the higher district. The plaza there is famous for criminal executions."Raymond nodded simultaneously as he understood Gandina's explanation.When the night arrived, Raymond continued circulating his mana to improve his MP. But it wasn't enough because this progress is expected of him. But at least he could get some
Raymond continued his training after the incident. They were traumatized by it, but luckily, only Raymond, Rudy, and Rebecca saw it. Rowena and Lilia were safe from the traumatic memories that could scar their minds.This training plan was to rebuild Raymond's form and stance. Gandina taught him some movements, but minimally so that Raymond could master them."Use the dummy to practice the move. Continue performing it for one hundred and then do the other moves." Gandina ordered Raymond.Raymond nodded, then picked up the training sword. He then slashed a few times, his footwork included in his movement. He repeatedly performed it many, many times and then moved on to another move.Raymond continued his training until the sun was about to set. It was only by this time that he could get a rest and then prepare to return home."Sir Gandina, what happened in the investigation?" Raymond asked as he was preparing his things from the side where a slightly huge boulder was sitting.Gandina l
