My Hermes System

29 - A Good Man

"I thought you had an Enhancer-type System!?"

Harvey could not help but back away a few feet as he saw what Van wrote on the paper, "Unique-type? You had a Unique-type system!?", He said as he dramatically groveled on the floor, "You have betrayed me!"

Seeing Harvey wiggling on the ground like a worm, Van could not help but release a deep sigh as he shook his head, "I have… other skills"

"You have other skills!?", Harvey repeated Van's words, "What other skills!? I want to know but I know it's a secret, ack!", Harvey continued to wiggle on the floor as his voice wept. He didn't even care that some of his other classmates were looking at him weirdly.

"I thought we were going to be together in our extra classes!", Harvey then started dancing for some reason.

"Let's go, Van", Beatrice quickly pulled Van away, "Before you get infected by whatever he has"

"O...okay", Van could not help but chuckle awkwardly as he exited the room.

"I'll wait for you guys in the gate, okay!?", Harvey said as he dramatically stretched his hand towards the retreating backs of Beatrice and Van, "Promise me, promise me you will come!"

Harvey's words echoed throughout the classroom, with his other classmates hurriedly trying to leave the room as they did not want to get involved with whatever it was that was happening.

"Oh, you're Beatrice Williams from Jacobs' class?"

"You know of me, ma'am?"

"Of course, Lang told me all about you"

Van and Beatrice were currently inside the faculty room, submitting their applications to the female instructor in charge.

"Lang will also be the one handling the extracurricular classes for the Mage-type freshmen", the female instructor smiled, "So he told me how excited he was that someone like you would be under his wing"

"I… I see", Beatrice could not help but smile as she heard the instructor's words.

"Then next is…", the female instructor then looked at the next paper in her hand. Her eyes instantly narrowed as she was having a hard time understanding the squiggles that were on the paper. It looked like a chicken stepped over it, she thought.

But then, as soon as she could crack the code on the paper, her eyes quickly widened. "Evans? The Van from Jacobs' class?"

"Y...yes?", Van tilted his head.

"Ah!", the female instructor clapped her hands, "You're pretty famous inside the faculty! Weren't you the most prominent student during the showdown?"

The female instructor's excited words traveled throughout the faculty room, garnering the attention of the other instructors.

"Oh, is that him?"

"He looks so small"

"Is he the one considered to be the top 1 freshman this year?"

"Maybe, did you see how he won the games?"

"You saw it!?"
