Chapter 8: Outsmarted
'As you can see mana is a very versatile component that can be manipulated by our..."
Right now, to be honest, I'm bored.
It's been a week since the academy started.
Classes have also started to be conducted and right now, I'm listening to a lecture by some professor I do not-know-who.
But honestly what he is speaking is something that I already know. So for me, it was just a time waste.
Honestly, I just want to train right now. As that is the only surefire way that I can become strong.
And that's no joke I'm telling you.
Compared to a week before, my strength is on a whole new level.
'Status. '
I muttered.

'Finally, my charm increased a little. '
I was happy. It must be due to Ice Fire Divine body art but seeing my non-moving charm increase a bit, I'm happy.
Cough cough...
Now coming back to the topic, I have already mastered those 2 unique grade arts.
Come on in someone who practises Legendary grade sword art. If I couldn't even master a unique grade art of the lower rank then shame on me.
I repeatedly nodded my head.
"hey. Y.."
Although a little bit weaker than Azul and others, I can confidently say that I'm in the top 10 of my year.
"Hey you at the back seat."
With just a few months I may be able to defeat James. Ahh... Seeing his beatdown face makes my blood boil.
I smirked at myself thinking that.
" Kai Rosso!! "
"Huh... What?"
Bringing me out of my thoughts was a loud voice.
I turned my head to my left and right.
But when I saw everyone I was confused. They were seeing me with a strange gaze.
"Can you stand up please if you are done daydreaming?"
Now I understood why everyone was looking at me with strange eyes.
It's all because of this bastard professor ruining my pleasant thoughts just now.
And daydreaming?
Who the hell is daydreaming?
I immediately stood up and retorted,
"Sir I am not daydreaming."
"Really?"
The professor looked at me sceptically.
"Yes."
But I still replied with a straight face.
And then looking at my face, He smirked,
"Then answer this... What Kind of error would you get if you connect a wcg motor to a hydraulic 2.0 meter before stabilizing it with mana and then processing it with a nuclear source?"
To tell the truth, I don't know what the hell he is speaking about.
But I still nodded my face acting as if I understood.
Anyway, I have a Trump card with me.
'System. '
I muttered inwardly.
<Yes host>
' Search the answer for whatever question he is asking. ' I muttered inwardly.
<...>
The system became speechless.
<Host you can't cheat like that. >
The system tried to complain.
'Come on system. You are the best system in the world. If you can't even do this, how can I depend on you to survive in this world? '
I don't know if it's because I called the system best or if it was provoked by my words.
But it gave me the answer in a few seconds.
<Host its D25 nuclear error. >
"Sir it's D25 nuclear error."
I shouted at the same time the system answered me.
Quiet.
The whole classroom became quiet.
No one expected me to answer correctly.
The professor looked a little more serious than before.
" Then tell me why mana does not work with engine 945 when operated?"
<Host, the answer is, Mana is not compatible. >
"Mana is not compatible, that's why."
The professor asked again with a more serious question again and again.
And. I answered again and again.
After a few minutes, he stopped.
"You can sit now. Don't daydream again in my class. "
He added.
Daydream again?
" Sir I just proved that I didn't daydream by answering you. "
I retorted again.
But something felt off when I said that.
Looking around me I again saw everyone looking at me with amused eyes.
And I soon came to know why...
The professor seeing my face sneered,
"Kai, whatever questions I asked just now, I didnt teach anything about that. But still, I'm impressed by your knowledge by answering my questions thinking that I teach them in class.
Keep it up and don't daydream again in my class. "
"Pft.."
I heard someone trying to hold back their laughter. And I exactly know who it was.
But I didn't care about that... For now.
What I cared about most now was... 'Damn, I was outsmarted by him! '
I cursed inside of my head.
But being as shameless as I was I still sat down with a straight face.
"pft... "
I again heard someone laughing behind my back.
But still, I didn't care... As if!!
I had written all in in my book.
You will all pay!!
...
After the class was over I immediately ran from my class towards the training room.
I can't help it.
Every second I waste here means that Im wasting my precious chance to increase my charm.
Thinking about this I sped up more and ran towards the training room.
...
' Ahh, there he goes again..."
Freya thought inside of her head.
She had been keeping her eyes on him from the day he made her sister change the expression on her face for the umpteenth time.
She can't help it.
It was not every day she would see her sisters' expressions change genuinely. After all, she was the second eldest after my older brother. She has her responsibilities.
'But anyway seeing the changes in her face was fun. '
Thinking about this Freya's lips tugged upwards.
'But today was good too... '
Thinking about how Kai was outsmarted by the professor and exposing him to daydreaming, Freya almost laughed.
But more than that, his shameless straight face after being exposed was more amusing.
Freya almost couldn't hold her laugh at that time.
'But what was he thinking soo deeply about? Most probably that strange smirk of his which still gives me the creeps was the reason why the professor must have called him. '
Thinking about that creepy smile, Freya's body shuddered.
She continued to shake her head trying to forget that smirk.
'sigh... But today also I didn't get a chance to talk to him. But am I dreaming or it seems to me that he was trying to avoid me or... '
Looking at the other 4 people beside her Freya thought,
'...It seems that he was avoiding us? Anyway, it's still a pity... '
Freya couldn't help but sigh.
'' Fre...Frey... FREYA!! "
Acold but a soothing voice called out to Freya.
Coming back from her thoughts, Freya looked at Layla and asked.
" What is it, Layla? "
Layla looking at Freya asked again,
"Are you coming to eat lunch with us or go to train again? "
Hearing her Freya replied," sorry, you guys go ahead and eat, I'll train a little and eat afterwards. "
"Okay... "
Layla muttered and went to get food with others.
Freya turned to the opposite side and started walking,
'will he be there again today? '
Thinking of Kai, Freya's lips tugged upwards to form a beautiful smile.
With light steps, she disappeared from the corridor, like a beautiful goddess taking a walk...
