Jinn blinked several tis in surprise. He had not expected to see so many people in class even though there was still an hour for it to begin.
’It seems the professor Olivia’s first class has tornted everyone.’
Jinn slowly entered the class, feeling many eyes on him. So of them he was familiar with, but the rest were new.
But he knew who they were.
The other students who managed to enter the special Class. Three of them were boys, while the other two were girls.
Jinn noticed the familiar cold gaze coming from the corner of the room and moved in the opposite direction without even glancing at the source.
He knew it was the sa young woman from the Valentine family who had so unknown beef with him.
The room was smaller than the ones they had been using for the past week.
There were only four rows, and everyone seed to be sitting at so distance from each other.
Instead of sitting alone, Jinn saw the girl who owes him a few favors and decided to take a seat next to her.
"Good morning," He greeted Evelyn, who was staring at her hands for so reason, and sat down on the seat adjacent to the one next to her.
Hearing his voice, she finally looked away from her palms and greeted him back. "Morning."
"What were you doing?" Jinn decided to make a short talk to pass the ti.
"Checking if sothing had changed, but it seems fate is set in stone." Her cryptic words left Jinn confused and speechless.
"Is that a good thing or bad?"
"Only ti can tell." She leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes before asking, "So, why are you here?" Claiming a favor I owe?"
"No, I just did not want to sit alone in this gloomy atmosphere." Jinn looked around, taking in the expressions of his classmates.
He had sharp eyes, a straight posture, and was drumming his feet on the floor. It seems the boy was trying to appear confident but was nervous on the inside.
Relaxed posture, arms spread on the back of the chairs, feet crossed, and that arrogant smile.
A son of a noble or powerful family. Arrogant enough to think he was destined for greatness.
Young woman, braided hair, slouched posture, shifting in her seat. Others might think she was nervous and lacked courage, but Jinn saw how her feet were calmly placed on the ground and the hidden coldness in her eyes.
Clearly she was trying to appear a harmless rabbit, but she was a wolf through and through.
The rest were all either calm or were a little nervous from the atmosphere.
They had books before them, but no one seed to be reading or doing anything.
"They are just foolish kids; ignore them," Evelyn comnted without looking, but her voice was loud enough to be heard by everyone.
But one look at her and most of them looked away. But since they saw Jinn sitting with her, their anger was directed his way.
With a wry smile, Jinn turned.
He pulled out a random book from the Easy Carry Bag and pretended to read it. Evelyn also did not seem to be interested in talking.
’Where is Dean? Don’t tell he is planning on being late again.’ After half an hour had passed, the rest of the children who were assigned to the Special class had arrived, but his roommate was nowhere to be seen.
Then in a few minutes, Professor Olivia entered the room. Like the first day they t, she had arrived before the class even started.
Seeing her dressed in a beautiful red dress, Jinn could not help but whisper to himself. "I still cannot believe it."
"Did you say sothing?" Evelyn asked, hearing his whisper.
"Just look at her. Can you believe that soone like her, who dresses so neatly and perfectly, would live in such an office?" Jinn’s voice was tinged with slight disgust and frustration as he recalled Professor Skinner’s office.
Even Evelyn’s face twitched a little in understanding. It was clear that she had been to her office as well and knew what he was talking about.
"Indeed, even I was caught off-guard."
"It seems everyone is here. Should I start the class early or wait for a while?" Setting down her books, Miss. Skinner spoke as if she was talking to herself.
She paused when her eyes landed on Jinn and said, "your roommate will not be coming back today. It seems he has had a little accident and has been admitted to the hospital wing."
"It was fortunate that there was a nurse nearby who helped him, but he won’t be coming back tonight, so you don’t need to be worried."
"You can see him in the hospital wing on the ground floor after class ends."
She had spoken everything in a single breath, and Jinn only nodded along.
’I am more curious than worried. What happened on the date? Jinn did not know Dean that well, so he was not worried about him, but he was still curious what could hospitalize soone like him.
He was no re human but an Awakened one.
"Ah. Since I have enough ti, I should tell you so things about the academy that are not known to the outside world." Professor Olivia picked up so pen-like object and started scribbling on the blackboard with it.
The Point System
She wrote those words down and said, "Besides so things that you can buy with the currency of the Mars Kingdom, everything on this campus can only be bought by points."
She waved her hand, and one by one a small token appeared before each student.
Jinn looked at the token that said 200 pts lying on the table and picked it up. Turning it around, he saw his na carved on this piece of magical equipnt.
"This is yours to keep, and you can use these points to purchase extra lectures, books, or even resources to enhance your power."
Jinn finally understood what the big deal was about the points. Apparently, they were worth everything.
