Chapter 55: Beginning the plan
Anna entered inside the classroom, her usual cheerful classroom was now completely silent.
She couldn’t understand what had happened so she asked a nearby student.
“What happened here? Why are you all so silent today? Did you guys get scolded by the teachers?”
But she got no reply. All the other students also didn’t say anything, they were in no position to say anything, and all of their hearts were full of fear of Evan.
‘My body felt like it was tearing apart itself… just what was that… could it be his ability?’
‘I am never gonna mess with him ever again, I don’t want to die so quickly.’
Their every thought was the same, not to mess with Evan from now on.
*Ring*
The time for the class arrived but nobody moved from their place even after hearing the bell ringing.
“Go and sit everyone,” Evan said, his voice emotionless.
Following his order, everyone went and took their seats.
‘Sigh… so much for living a good school life. I guess that can only happen in the Hunter’s academy.’
Anna, seeing everyone following the order of the new guy realized that it was all related to him.
So, she went near him and asked,
“Hey, even if you are awakened, you can’t use your ability to bully others. I am also awakened, if you mess with my classmates again, I won’t tolerate it any longer.”
Her tone was stern and there was a little anger in her voice. Evan couldn’t help but shook his head, and thought inwardly,
‘So, she is the same for all, even when I was getting bullied she stepped in and saved me, the previous one though. She is a kind girl.’
Evan lifted his face and said nonchalantly, “Do you know who I am?”
His question infuriated her even more, she thought he was trying to show her his background support.
“I don’t give a damn about your background. If you try to bully any of my classmates again, I won’t tolerate it. I don’t get why school even takes such students as you.”
‘She is getting the wrong idea about me.’
So, Evan tried to correct his words.
“I am not trying to show you any background of mine, I don’t have such…” Evan stopped in the middle, realizing he was the only one who had the biggest background on this planet. He then continued again, “I am not bullying anyone and I am not a new student either. I am Evan, your classmate.”
Anna’s eyes widened and she asked completely shocked, “What?! You are Evan? But how? You weren’t like this just a day before.”
“I got awakened yesterday and my body changed with that,” Evan said, calmly.
Anna finally realized what could have happened inside the classroom.
‘He must have taken his revenge for all the bullying till now. In a sense, it might feel right, but using your ability to harm others is not a good thing.’
“Hey, I know-…”
“All right, everyone. Get back to your seats.”
Anna was about to tell him not to use his abilities in the wrong way, but the teacher entered the classroom and she wasn’t able to tell him anything. But it wasn’t a problem, she could tell him any time, as Anna sat right beside Evan’s.
“I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Now, take out your maths book…”
The teacher began to start the class but hardly anyone was interested in it, they weren’t able to focus properly at all.
But Anna listened to the class attentively.
Evan wasn’t interested in the class and it’s teaching at all. He doesn’t need such superficial things anymore. It might have been important before, but now these teachings have no value for him.
He turned his attention in the direction of Anna. Her fair cheeks and beautiful half-face were the only things he could see, he slowly moved his eyes down and was able to see her twin peaks, they were big but he could tell, they would fit perfectly in his hands, her waist was slim without any extra fat on her body and her hips, with just a glance, he could tell, they were perfect for heavy thrusts.
‘She is an S-class beauty without a doubt, but more than that, I am interested in her ability, a unique ability that can even influence her potential, with this ability her potential isn’t limited to just S-tier, it could be immeasurable, though her growth won’t be fast, but if fate wants she could become a top powerhouse.’
Evan thought while looking at Anna, even after getting every knowledge of cultivation, he felt that Anna could become a top powerhouse and it was only because of her ability.
[Name: Anna Shelton
Age: 17
Height: 5ft 10inch
Physical stats:
Strength: 10
Agility: 13
Stamina: 10
Endurance: 13
Mana: 24
Ability: Copy, Ice Control
Potential: S-tier
Feelings for host
Pity: 23
Guilty: 20]
‘Anna Shelton, age 17, a person with S-tier potential, a kind-hearted girl, and the holder of the ability ‘Copy’. With this ability, she can copy any other abilities, but she will only have some knowledge of those other abilities, so it has some limits, but if she can fully master the copied ability, that ability becomes hers.’
‘That’s a really good ability to have, and the user becomes far stronger with every battle after copying their opponent’s move.’
‘Hey, system. What will I gain after making her mine?’
[You can find that out yourself, host. Just express your desire.]
Evan chuckled inwardly, before saying,
‘Alright do it.’
[Quest: Make Anna your woman, who follows your every command.
Reward: Ability ‘Copy’, but it will be without limits
Penalty: Devoured by unknown]
Evan read the quest and nodded his head, but something kept on bugging him.
‘System, will I always get this ‘Devoured by unknown’ as penalty?’
[Sorry, host. But I was designed that way, my sole duty is to protect you from the unknown while making you stronger, and don’t think that this penalty is something you can laugh about, it’s far more dangerous than you think.]
The system reminded him to not take the unknown lightly. Evan didn’t care about it, but soon he was going to know why the system was reminding him to be careful.
Soon, the period ended and the teacher left, Anna turned towards Evan and said,
“Hey, I know you have been bullied for a long while, but doing the same with them will make you just like them, so don’t do this from now on, okay?”
Evan sighed already feeling bored with the class and replied to Anna,
“Look, lady. First of all, you don’t know exactly what happened here. Jay and his friends came to mess with me and I just dealt with them, except that nothing else has happened, so don’t just assume things and make your own story.”
“What?! So you didn’t bully them?”
“Nope.”
Anna’s face immediately turned red due to embarrassment. All this while, she was blaming Evan without anything being his fault.
‘How stupid of me?’
“I am sorry, I didn’t realize it and just tried t-”
“Don’t fret, it’s all right. By the way, you are also awakened, right? You must have become proficient in using your abilities right? Mine is a little different than anyone else’s, so can you help me with that?”
Anna hesitated for a while. She has been awakened for a while and when she revealed her ability to her mother, she strictly told her to don’t reveal it to anyone else, unless she trusts the other person completely.
“I can, but you won’t ask me to reveal my ability, okay? If you are trying to master your ability, are you also planning to go into Hunter’s academy?” Anna asked.
“Yes, I am. Is there a problem?” Evan asked as well, having a hint of what she was trying to tell.
Anna snapped out and said, “A problem? Do you seriously ask that? That Jay has a decent background and I heard he has his older sibling in the academy, who is also a top student there.”
“If that’s all, then don’t worry about it. I also have my sister there, so it’s not a problem.” Evan said casually.
Anna sighed listening to him, and said, “If it’s like that, then it’s fine. If you want to you can come to my place, we can train there, training with someone might be fruitful for me as well.”
“Okay, then. I will come to your place from tomorrow. I am a little busy today.” Evan said, not forgetting his promise to Lyra.
“Hmm, just one month is remaining for the yearly entrance of the academy, if you miss this chance, you might have to wait another year for it. By the way, if you don’t mind, can you tell me about your ability? I might be able to help you more knowing that. But it’s all right if you’re not comfortable with it.” Anna said, modestly.
Asking someone for their ability is a personal thing in this day and time, so Anna was a bit skeptical to ask, but to help him better, she still asked him.
Evan, with a strange smile on his face, said,
“My ability is ‘Pleasure touch’.”
