NOVEL NEXT Chapter 32: Homeroom class
'I accept,' Kyle thought as he selected 'Yes'. He had weighed the two options and figured out:
'There's nothing wrong with being her vassal, as long as it isn't permanent.'
Elysia clapped her hands in glee. "Great!"
She used her mana to imprint a signature on Kyle, marking him as her vassal.
Kyle felt a sudden surge of power within him, after which a great pain followed.
"Arrgh..." Kyle cried in pain as he felt his insides crush. "Stop it! Please..."
He couldn't help to fall on the ground in pain, but thankfully some seconds that felt like minutes passed before he felt good again.

Kyle stood up from the ground and examined his stats.
"My MP. There's a dash?"
Elysia grinned with pride. "Yes. 1% of my mana cannot be quantified by your system at this stage.
Kyle's jaw dropped when he heard Elysia. "Cannot be quantified?! Are you freaking telling me I have infinite mana?"
Elysia smiled after hearing him. "Well, almost infinite... At this stage, it could be considered infinite."
"Wow! That should be amazing!"
"You bet it is," Elysia said with a smirk. "Now get back to your dormitory; you have classes tomorrow."
"Aye." Kyle felt nothing for some moments, before he opened his eyes and felt the bright light around him.
He looked at his comm to check the time, "7:29 AM."
"Nooo! I'm late again," Kyle screamed in sadness.
He used his comm to take a look at his timetable that has skipped his mind.
"Homeroom classes— Weekdays. 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM. Weekends: 9:30 AM - 10:00 AM."
"Wing classes— Weekdays. 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM."
"Electives— Weekdays. 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM."
"History— Weekends. 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM."
"General Weapon Training— Weekends. 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM."
"Finally, a break," Kyle smiled after reading the timetable. "I wonder why they're just implementing it now."
He jumped of from his bed, wondering why he was still wasting time, before getting ready for lessons.
7:58 AM.
'There should be enough time to grab a meal,' Kyle thought as he walked into the cafeteria. He opted for a take-away meal, packaging it before secretly storing it in his inventory.
Kyle grinned as he thought. 'Properly using my cheats.'
[Daily Quest: Run 10 kilometers]
[Reward: 1 STA point]
Kyle glanced at the quest as he ran to the homeroom class, the Year 1 homeroom hall was just some meters from the dormitory, so he couldn't complete his quest on the process.
'8:02 AM,' Kyle looked at his comm one last time as he stood outside the door. 'I hope this instructor isn't as strict as Professor Grendel.'
He made one last silent prayer before slowly opening the doors.
He saw... Chaos!
His year mates who had been behaving rather tame since the first day of the academy were all over the place.
They engaged in loud discussions and had the chance to connect with everyone.
Kyle directed his gaze to the Instructor's desk. As expected, it was empty.
'No wonder.'
He found Riya, Orion, Zack and Anne at a corner. The Frulia crew were back together.
Unlike the others, there wasn't an air of excitement among them, rather one of silence and quiet chatter.
"Yo," Kyle called out with a wide smile, taking a seat beside them.
"Kyle, you're alright?" Zack said to him in concern.
"Of course he is..." Orion hissed.
"Alright? Why won't I be alright?" Kyle asked with a light chuckle.
"Orion told us what happened," Zack said slowly, scared of whether to continue talking.
'Damn you, Orion,' Kyle thought, giving Orion the 'who asked you glance'.
"Welp," Kyle thought for a while before answering, technically, he didn't kill anyone, so there was no reason to stay down.
"Riya dear helped me feel better," he said, directing the conversation to Riya.
"Me? What?" Riya said in denial. "I just told you that you can't change anything."
"Stop it, Riya," Kyle said with a smirk. "We all know you're a good girl."
Riya growled in anger, not finding the praises funny.
Zack and Orion erupted into laughter, from the look on Riya's face.
"Let me get this straight," Anne finally spoke up, surprising everyone with her voice.
"You killed an innocent kid and it doesn't bother you."
"It does, but I've accepted it's a mistake... One that won't happen again."
"Humph." Anne suddenly stood up and left the place.
Kyle stared at her in confusion as she left, before asking after she disappeared in the crowd.
"What's her problem?"
"..."
Riya and Zack maintained an odd silence before Orion blurted out.
"She's obviously disappointed in your unconcern."
"Unconcern? Did you expect me to continue crying up till now?" Kyle asked Orion, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"Nope." Orion replied. "But it would help if you thought about Elysia more."
Kyle nodded. Maybe he wasn't acting nice, maybe they were right. They might not know, but he knew that he didn't kill anyone.
'I'll apologize to her...' he concluded after giving it some thought.
His thoughts were interrupted when the door opened, and a certain man walked through the door, making everywhere as silent as a graveyard.
He was quite tall with a firm build, had a very dark skin with short black styled hair.
His dressed casually in a white shirt and black pants, but his presence impacted the room despite his warm smile.
He was Instructor Dan, the Year 1 homeroom teacher.
