148 Inner Spiri (1/2)
Only the sound of faint whispers was heard as many of the students had an extremely stiff expression with sweat running down their faces.
'Damn… it seems like the news spreads really fast… impressive…' Moby thought, looking at his classmate's faces and listening in onto a few of their conversations.
Moby's class was undeniably one of the weakest classes in the entire school, consisting of only E ranks, D ranks, a few C ranks and 2 B ranks in Moby and Abby who were leagues above everyone else.
It was not exactly a place for them to fit in, making them outliers among everyone else.
Many of the students that had insulted or attempted anything on Moby in the past cursed their entire existence and prayed that he had forgotten all the shit they made him go through. However, Moby never forgets such things and never forgives. But, he decided to leave things be for now and not go out of his way for stupid and petty revenge as they were not worth his time. Plus, he can't be too cruel to the lower ranks in order to enact his many future plans.
As soon as he heard the bell ring, he walked to his usual seat at the bottom left corner of the room, making all the kids he passed by look down in shame and fear before sitting down on his chair with a sigh. Then, as not to waste any precious time, he closed his eyes to practice his new ”Freezing Time” skill with his remaining mana and demon energy until professor Leo arrived to teach the lesson.
Not even 10 seconds later, the sound of the classroom door opening was heard and the familiar figure of the tall, muscular, dark orange spiky haired professor Leo wearing his usual attire of a white button up shirt with his sleeves rolled and standard black pants.
'Damn… these kids are awfully quiet today even before I came… Are they still depressed about the deaths of their classmates during the exam?' Leo thought, looking at the class that was usually loud and noisy that was now more quiet than a funeral home.
”Okay class, good morning. It has been a while since I have last seen you and I hope that you are doing well.”
”This will be a good learning experience for you all so I hope you think of it that way,”
”Does that sound like a plan? Does anyone have any objections?” Leo asked in a cold, almost heartless voice, completely missing the mark on why his students were acting the way they were.
”No questions? Okay then good, let's get started with today's lesson,”
”So, today we will be taking a more in depth look at abilities,” Leo said, making Moby listen intently to his every word as it was a great subject of interest to him as he did not have enough time to go too in depth in his research about them, looking at only the general skills and uses, making this lesson extremely beneficial and invaluable to him.
”I bet you guys have been wondering many things, ”Why are some people stronger than others?””How do I get stronger?” etc,”
”Well, the answer is really complex yet really simple. I am sure that by now many of you have heard this before each ability has some sort of inner spirit or beast that resides within them. We simply call these, ”Inner spirits”. They are almost completely unseen spirits that reside inside a person's ability core that is found inside of their body. The only people that can see their inner spirit is when they grow such a tight connection and bond with the user that they become almost as one. But, all of you are far, far away from that level in your current state and probably will never reach that level in your short life spans,”
”The stronger your bond with your inner spirit the stronger your ability will be. Also, the stronger your physical body gets the stronger your ability will be as well. That is why it is important to do both physical and mental training in order to maximize your growth speed. All of these, and many other factors are what go into your ability levels and power,”
