When Dean left the restaurant, he quickly glanced at his watch and saw that it was already 7:30 PM.

He knew he had to hurry if he wanted to make it back to his dorm room before the gate closed at 8:00 PM.

He sprinted across the campus, his feet pounding the pavement as he rushed to beat the curfew.

Finally, he arrived at his dorm building and burst through the door, panting heavily.

He quickly made his way to his room, using his fingerprint to unlock the door.

As he entered the room, he saw that Peter was already fast asleep, while the other student was still reading a book, oblivious to Dean's arrival.

Dean didn't bother to greet him, instead, he walked over to a cage he had brought from home and began to feed the rat his father had given him to train with.

After feeding the rat, Dean hopped onto his bed and let out a deep sigh, feeling exhausted from the day's events.

He closed his eyes, and before he knew it, he had dozed off.

The next morning, all the students lined up in the hall for general training led by Mr. Leo.

"Welcome, students," Mr. Leo said, his voice loud and clear. "I'm Mr. Leo, and I'll be leading your general training sessions.

These sessions are designed to prepare you for the missions you will be assigned as groups."

As Mr. Leo began the training, Dean could hear students talking about the Axe gang and how they had been going around bullying weak-ranked students and extorting money from them.

"I heard they beat up a student from the third year," one student whispered.

"Yeah, and they're getting bolder," another student replied. "They're even targeting students from higher ranks."

Dean's ears perked up as he listened, and he figured out that Sam and Jerry could be part of the gang.

"I'm going to take them down," Dean muttered to himself, his determination growing stronger.

That night, Dean decided to go outside and train for a bit with the rat in the cage. He checked the time; it was 6:30. He had one hour and thirty minutes to train before returning to school.

"I'm going to master this skill," Dean said to himself, focusing on the rat in the cage.

"I'm going to show them what I'm capable of."

As he arrived at a clearing in the nearby woods, he placed the cage on the ground.

"You're not going to bully anyone else," Dean said, his eyes narrowing as he thought of the Axe gang. "I'm going to put a stop to it."

The rat in the cage seemed to sense Dean's determination, and it let out a fierce squeak, as if it were ready to take on the Axe gang itself.

Dean let out the rat, and it scurried around the clearing, sniffing and exploring its new surroundings.

"Okay, Mr. Titi, it's time to train," Dean said, placing food on the ground. He focused his energy, trying to understand the rat's emotions towards the food.

He could sense the rat's excitement and hunger, and he tried to connect with those emotions.

Next, Dean tried to control the rat, focusing his energy and willing the rat to move towards him. But no matter how hard he tried, the rat didn't budge.

Dean tried harder, concentrating his energy and visualizing the rat moving towards him. And then, suddenly, the rat paused, as if it could hear Dean's thoughts.

But just as Dean was about to make progress, a loud scream pierced the air.

"Somebody help! Please let me go!" a male voice yelled, some distance away in the bush.

Dean's head jerked up, and he looked around, trying to locate the source of the scream. The rat, startled by the sudden noise, scurried back into its cage.

Dean's training session was interrupted, and he felt a surge of concern and curiosity. Who was screaming for help, and what was happening in the bush?

Dean picked up the cage and ran towards the direction of the voice as fast as he could. As he arrived, he saw Sam, one of Blake's boys, trying to steal a student's money.

"Let him go," Dean said immediately, startling the two.

Sam turned and when he saw Dean, he frowned. "You again?" he asked, his voice mixed with anger. "You have the habit of sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, don't you?"

Sam let go of the student, who quickly took advantage of the distraction to run off. Sam turned and looked at the student, then back to Dean, his eyes narrowing.

"Look what you caused," Sam said, his voice low and menacing. "Now you will have to pay his tax and yours together."

As Sam spoke, his eyes started glowing with a dime blue light. Dean could feel a surge of energy emanating from Sam, and he knew that he was in for a fight.

But Dean wasn't intimidated. Instead, he had a smile on his face. "Time to finally test my new abilities," he said to himself, his eyes narrowed in determination.

    (((Quest Completed. You have successfully survived for five minutes against a strong opponent. Rewards: +2000 Exp 2000/4500))) After the messi, Dean thought to himself, watching Mr. X give him a creepy smile. "That was not a fair fight. He was using an ability. If I wanted, I could have used blood bending on him." The fight had been stopped, and Mr. Leo moved on to the next topic: The Silent Running. "Now, let me tell you the meaning of silent running," Mr. Leo said. "Just from the name, you can understand the basic idea. Ninjas must learn to move in such a way that there is next to zero noise. This is because you could face an opponent with very sensitive ears, or you might one day be in mist traps triggered by noise. Mastering this skill could help you escape. This is one of the most important parts of your training. If you don't succeed with this skill, you might repeat this level." Mr. Leo's gaze fell on Kenneth, who became visibly embarrassed. "Oh boy," Kenneth mutter

    There were a total of six students in that class, with Dean being one of them. He learned that the sixth student was a repeater, and his name was Kenneth Murray. Two girls were in the class: Iris and Arya. They were both beauties and looked like sisters, with similar features like blonde hair and a bad girl look. There was a tall boy too with a slim body. Dean learned his name was Benjamin.And finally, the one Dean had assumed was the assassin in the prophecy; he was the quiet type and had not disclosed his name to anyone, including the teacher. But he was quickly named Mr. X due to his mysterious nature. Dean observed Mr. X with interest, wondering what secrets he might be hiding.The class started, and the six students stood on a horizontal line facing the teacher. Dean stood on one end, and Mr. X on the other. Dean couldn't help but steal a glance at the mysterious guy every now and then. He looked like an ordinary guy with dark hair, deep eyes, and average height, but Dean coul

    Since Dean had reached level six, the system granted him permission to mark up to ten people, a significant milestone in his journey. The last person he marked was Princess Kora, and today he had decided to mark Arandy, a trusted friend and ally. He explained the process to Arandy, who agreed despite the potential risks and inconveniences, trusting Dean's judgment and expertise.This crucial ritual took place in an isolated part of the school, away from prying eyes and potential distractions. Dean carefully cut his and Arandy's palms, and held them together, feeling a surge of energy as their blood mingled. After a while, Arandy felt a searing pain on his upper arm, and saw the symbol of a red dragon in a circle of blood emblazoned on his skin."Congratulations, you have created a Blue Mage. One member has been added to the Red Dragon Family," the system announced, its voice echoing in Dean's mind. Blue mages were a unique subclass, capable of copying their enemies' abilities, and

    When the test was over, all students were given a strange round object called a pendulum, with a dark mirror at its center. It could be worn as a pendant when touched to the neck for some time or as a watch when touched to the wrist for some time. The device was a medium of communication powered by magic. The students were asked to check their pendulums to know their dorm room numbers. Dean was assigned to dorm room 2500. When he arrived, he thought, "I am sure that boy is the assassin in the prophecy; I must get rid of him on time." But Dean thought otherwise, "Finally, I can get some peace and quiet time for myself after a long stress." As he opened the door to his dorm room, expecting solitude, he was disappointed to find three other boys inside. They were quiet, with looks of shock mixed with fear on their faces."Only when I thought my day was worse, then this happens," Dean said. "Where is my bed?" he asked, and the boys pointed silently. Dean went to his bed and tried to sleep

    The first day of school had arrived, and Dean didn't know if he was ready yet. The only reason he decided to go to school was because of the prophecy he got from the witch, Linda."From what that witch told me, there will be a boy coming for the Duchess, so I must get ready for him. I must go to him before he comes to me." The life of the Duchess was in danger, but he had decided not to tell anyone of the prophecy because he never wanted to make the Duchess live in fear.“Well I get to experience how the school system here looks like,” Dean smiled."Dean, are you ready?" Mara's voice sounded from outside Dean's door. "Yeah, I am," Dean replied, standing up, then he went out and met Mara.Both of them went outside to a carriage waiting for them. The Duchess had tears in her eyes as her children were going to be away for a long time, and she would be alone at home.This was because the school had a dormitory where all students lived. "Don't cry, Mum, everything will be fine," Mara told

    Just when none of Dean's attacks seemed to be working on them and he had to think out of the box;((Congratulations, your stats have been updated. You can now check your stats on the dashboard.))With this notification, Dean felt a little pain in his body, but it stopped just as it came. Then he felt that the energy in his body had increased.'With this energy, I might stand a chance,' Dean thought.The glow in Dean's eyes increased. It no longer had a dim mixture of yellow and orange glow but grew brighter, having a light red glow this time. The line patterns appeared once again, this time even clearer.'So these lines are getting clearer as I level up. This skill, Weapon Efficiency, is better than I thought.'Dean was the one to charge in this time around for an attack. The Flame Wolves noticed that Dean was faster and stronger. For the first time, fear started settling in their minds.There were five of them left, so it gave them a little confidence. Dean had to give in all he had.
