27 27 Genius Class (1/2)

The lunch was uneventful in the weirdest way. Sure, the service, food, and atmosphere were top class, but there was nothing else to it. The people there chatted lightly, the kids acting like adults, pretending to be snobbish about their food. Adel sat with Donis, the two talking about the classes they had so far, with Adel taking charge of the conversation.

Donis had nothing to input really, since he wasn't at all interested in what the lecturers had to say, but he tried to humour the boy. At least this alleviated the boredom somewhat. He knew the stuff he'd learn in his first year might not actually be different to what Corvig had already taught him.

With the lunch ending, Donis was actually excited for the next class. He didn't know how useful a strong body could be, but he knew at least it would alleviate the stress he'd build up during the day. Right now he had no good way to relieve stress from acting, studying, and trying to stay awake. So while this may act as one, it's also another good way for Donis to experiment with his Will, magic, and body enhancements.

His greed for knowledge never truly lessening. Especially over the last few years, it only grew more intense. Ever since Raul kidnapped him, he's been getting thirstier and thirstier. Not even the news of the lord behind the kidnapping getting brutally cut down by Lorenzo eased his need to become stronger.

About two years ago, Donis was contacted via [Pigeon Paper] that they had found conclusive evidence about the person who ordered the kidnapping. Donis wasn't told the exact methods used to trace back the contact behind the [Pigeon Paper], but he knew it required some serious permissions from the government or whatever equivalent this world had.

Donis requested for permission to read the compiled evidence. He secretly wanted to test out the Side-Quest+ function of his [System], because it gave him [+25SP] for more evidence. He was right, there was no limit to the quest completion, as it just kept giving him [+25SP] each time. He ended up getting [920SP] after reading the whole report, which not only blew his mind, but let him concentrate on his goal of upgrading the [System].

He used [120SP] to buy some skills that he was looking at early into the report, thinking there was going to be more to it. Thankfully he didn't buy all of them, just a few, but it wasn't a big deal. Knowing the way the quests have worked so far, he knew he'd get more as time went on. He's sure that it wants itself to be upgraded too, since it wont shut up about it.

Sadly, over the last 2 years, Donis received no new quests. He had no way to acquire them anyway right now. There was no way for him to leave the house on his own after the kidnapping. His parents weren't people who would have complete mental break downs if he did, but he wanted to ease their suffering as much as he could. He hoped the [System] would give him something after maxing out so many skills, but it did nothing.

So, maybe starting a new journey on body perfection would prompt the [System] to do something for him. Shaking the memories from his mind, he beckoned Adel to come with him.

The two made their way to the next class, and there was a man already waiting for them. Tall, burly, built like a brick outhouse. A man in his prime with wild dark red hair reaching his lower back, wide shoulders, a sharp nose and many scars adorning his face.

He truly had the face of a warrior that loved fighting using his hands and legs. His entire body exuded this aura that made everyone slightly weary of him. Even Donis felt it from a distance. Knowing that this man is their lecturer he felt no fear towards him, it was just his body reacting to their strength difference.

”Line up!” shouted Erin. Everyone looked around confused. Where do they line up?

”Did I stutter? I said line up!” shouted Erin even louder this time, somehow reaching everyone there.

Everyone did as told, even though no one knew exactly how to line up for this man, if there were rows or anything like that. Yet it seemed the man before them didn't care. They were actively trying to do as their told, so he'd let them figure it out.

”Good. I am Erin Vorrhard, and I am of the Vorrhard lineage. I am your Physical Training lecturer, and I'm going to be breaking all of you. This isn't going to be easy, but none of you have a choice,” said Erin matter-of-factly.

Almost all of the 1,000+ students swallowed hard. It was an odd scene. Hundreds of 10 year old kids around Donis began slightly trembling. Most of them looking like they have never even taken a leisurely stroll around their mansions, let alone participated in any training.

”If you collapse, you collapse. If you vomit, you vomit. If you break a bone, we have in-house healers ready to help you, potions to remedy you, and therapy to bring you back in within a days notice. I am here to make your life hard, so that when you leave this place, you'll be able to handle yourself no matter the situation,” said Erin blankly.

”Come, we're going for a jog, a lap or three around the Academy should do us well for a warm-up,” said Erin as he began jogging.

Everyone stared at him in disbelief, yet they were compelled to run along when they heard the maniac in front of them scream at the top of his lungs for them to move.

So they ran, and ran, until most of the class collapsed, some of them vomited, some of them actually made it the whole way around the Academy once. Donis wasn't amongst those, though. With his Agility and his Strength being so high for someone so young, he had an incredibly easy time with these exercises. This actually surprised him to no end. Leveling up was really broken.

Yet that didn't stop him from trying to sneakily use his healing magic to try and replenish his stamina. Much to his surprise, it actually ate up his stamina like crazy. He felt even more out of breath after trying to heal himself when he was uninjured.

'The hell? Why is it draining me? I know it only heals wounds, but it shouldn't work like this. I've healed myself many times after I cut myself on a corner, or branch or all those self inflicted wounds to level the bastard up,' thought Donis in between breaths.

Eventually the class was then forced to do even more exercises, Erin living up to his word of breaking them. Some even cried, most just threw up, never having done this much physical work in their lives.

When they were dismissed, even more cried from happiness.
