Nec Positioned himself at the corner pointed out by their mentor. He sees familiar faces at the crowd, winks and pouts towards them. Seated at the 3rd row 4th column is his friend Knives beside him is Jes, he met them a year ago at their back row is Gab & Tesu. And others he’s not really fond of. The guys are giving him a thumbs, its either an approval or a mockery. He then fixed his gaze to Mr. Tau

 The mentor walks towards him then examines him from head to toe, then turns around "Here in Perceptive Arts is we study the theories, behavior & data behind other Arts. We only have 2 Main branches: Strategic, & Deceptive. Under strategic are: theories implementation, data gathering, & assault tactics”. He continues as he walks back & fort in front of his students. “Under Deceptive are: Illusion, Conjuration & Archive. Why Perceptive Arts deemed necessary?” He inhaled & with a loud voice “Cause with just Strategy & Deception you can bring down any foe without actual combat. In short you have won even before the battle starts.” Mr. Tau then walks towards the monitor; with a gesture of his hand swiping down an image was displayed.

               “All of you in this room are considered masters, even though your rank varies. But this smart fellow here” pointing to Nec “Is the sole Apprentice in this room, No! in our Hi Tier School” walking toward him “He’s Raima’s lackey, currently ranked 4th in our school.” Nec didn’t like what the man said “Excuse me sir, could we not talk about personal matters here. I believe that the principal has conceded to me being admitted.” murmurs began. The man then turns to the monitor and swipes, another diagram shows up “This diagram shows a leveling example of Tempest Arts vs Strategic Arts”

               “Some may have doubt about this diagram, as it has data gathering as C level. Why is that?” Mr. Tau again slowly approached Nec “Because IDIOTS can never gather ACCURATE data, and that is why it is only being handed to 2nd Class & up” turning his gaze to Nec like he was going to kill him. The man turns around and yelled “Dismissed”! Mr. Tau hurries to the exit. In CamHi Mentors are the one who comes to the room of every class instead of students going to the mentor’s room.

        A sigh comes out from Nec, finally after two long hours he can relax. He really despises Mr. Tau Maturgu, even last year where he isn’t under him he always give time in giving him sublime messages. He then hurries to where Knives & Jes are. There’s a 10 min break every time a mentor swaps in. “Nice move cool guy” knives offering a bro fist, he returned the favor. Jes tapping his shoulders “what great way to start school” his is sarcastic. “i’ll take that as a compliment” While Nec sits beside Tesu he asks him “what happened to Gab” pointing to his friend, Tesu elbows Gab “as usual daydreaming about Cranfe.” Gab then shove Tesu “I’m not, I am brainstorming about my assault tactics for her”. A burst of laughter echoes, suddenly the door opens. Their next mentor has arrived, a geeky guy in trunks & white shirt enters. He then gestures someone on the door to follow him in.

        Nec’s smiling face turns opposite as a girl following their mentor enters. “Hey Jes what lesson is this again?” Jes excitedly replied “Combat lessons and I guess we’re lucky” Jes’ eyes are glued to the mentor’s companion “Having an actual combat against her, this is what makes my blood boil”. Nec’s thoughts are at screaming, please don’t, not in this room. He bows down and hides his face as he sits down. “Masters I am Mr. Verth  Narva” introducing himself “And for you who doesn’t know this lovely lady beside me, she is RAIMA of the East. And she will be assisting me in our lesson today. Combat Lessons: Combined Arts.” The lady sweetly smiled to the crowd “Please take care of me” A series of “whoa” are heard. Who can’t be charmed by her, even though her breast are average she stood at a towering height of 70’’ and a well-proportioned body. Long wavy hair beautifully tanned skin and a mesmerizing smile. Knives utters “Nec you lucky bastard being with her is a blessing.” Nec smiled awkwardly, thinks to himself “I WISH.” A shudder went down his spine.
