Chapter 3: My First Fight

Going towards the principal office was not an easy task. Just walking on the corridor make me nauseous much like I am in car. I still have no idea of what my power is nor the reason why I am here. The corridor looks normal, but the people walking around is not. The rooftop is the highest floor so taking a trip to it does not sound like a good idea. I met another student though, regardless that she's a harpy and a rank A. I still can't believe that I met top celebrities in this school. Does that make me popular then?

The students looking at me gave me chills. I wasn't used to it, but I kinda sense something troubling going inside my gut. Is this fear? Just going past them is hard. But I do need to go to the principal to know what class am I.

I entered her office while touching my head. This is making me queasy and excited at the same time.

"Oh, if it isn't the transferee," she was carefree, sitting on the principal chair with ease. Her office is admirable though, not too large nor too small. Funnily it's size is more of a hotel room rather than an office. The design is simple and non complex.

"Welcome to my office, dear Axel Rinofrost. We hope you a good, enjoyable stay here at school."

I don't know why, but I'm kind of pissed off.

"Well, ma'am, I do hope that you'll lighten me up with things I don't know here. This is too sudden for me, it's not very invigorating. It's making me sick."

"Well, sit down," I did what she said and sat on the comfortable chair ahead of her.

She hemmed, "I was informed that you met Kris Casanova on a dream, is that true?"

What the, where does she get all these information. It's hard to keep a secret with this lady.

"Well, if it's the novice witch, yes. She only teach me a few things like Rankings though."

"Ohh, she don't really take much interest on other subjects nevertheless it's okay with this guy?" she mumbled and hearing that makes me want to unheard it. That's just a simple insult, but I shouldn't get too hyped up.

"Do you have any idea of what power I have?" I asked politely.

"Well, no idea." is she saying all of this on purpose? She took some contract papers and it's hidden from my sight. That's cheating.

"Err, so what rank do I have?"

"It's E," she replied. I thought it was a joke but she showed me contract papers that really showed a huge E on the right side of the paper. On the left side, it's all the details I have.

"Wha!? You just said that I would get desirable result!" I retracted.

"I apologize for keeping your hopes up but papers don't lie. I do get the point of making you in one of the lowest since you're the only human around."

"Was that suppose to be a compliment?"

"No, it's true. That's why I should not get you expelled. I'll use everything on my power to avoid yourself from expulsion." she grinned. I guess that's fine, but being the lowest is not really all great. That just means I'm still powerless as of now. Such a disappointment.

The bell rang. "You should get going now," she gave me the papers and smiled at me. That's wicked.

I search around the place, however, with my luck, I find the classroom faster than expected. Honestly, I still don't know how my power acts. My body are at its peak, but it is the only best condition I could have. I don't feel much stronger than what I felt at the entrance exams.
