23 A New Dawn Of Encounters

As the morning birds chirped, the sun seeped through the windows of Bellator's room, indicating the start of a new day.

Getting dressed for his first day of class, a multitude of thoughts ran through Bellator's head.

'So it's finally time to meet the main characters,' Bellator thought, recalling that he was placed in the class filled with danger magnets.

'I'm still pitifully weak; in terms of strength, I'm probably the weakest student in our year. I mean, it makes sense; everyone else had to prove their strength to get accepted into such a prestigious academy. Yet, I got accepted through my family just like the main characters, though unlike them, I don't have the strength to back up my acceptance.'

Leaving his room, Bellator used his Z-Watch for directions to his class. A multitude of students could be seen in their academy uniforms, with groups of people happily chatting as they headed towards class.

As he walked, glances were thrown his way, as the girls admired his regal appearance.

Though it went unnoticed by Bellator, as only thoughts of his survival clouded his mind.

'My trait doesn't give me any advantages in battle... Yet, and I still don't know the conditions to unlock the rest of its abilities. I am fundamentally messed up.'

Finally arriving at a massive door, Bellator stared at it, as behind the door stood the very individuals who this world revolved around.

Taking a deep breath, Bellator opened the door.

Entering the classroom, voices could be heard as students chatted, getting acquainted with their new classmates.

Noticing the appearance of a new student, all the chatter stopped as they looked at who entered.

Though most quickly lost interest, noticing just a normal guy, well aside from a few girls who had a crimson hue covering their cheeks.

'It seems they haven't arrived yet,' Bellator thought, his gaze scouring the classroom for the main characters.

That was his original thought until he noticed a peculiar girl sitting in the corner alone. Her giant horn-rimmed glasses stood neatly on her white porcelain face, as dark bags could be seen under her eyes. Her lush green hair stood neatly in a ponytail as her frail stature sat in her seat.

A gloomy aura surrounded her, stopping anyone from approaching her, though even that couldn't hide her beauty. Underneath all that sadness, a beauty rivaling that of the heroines could be seen; her body an artwork sculpted by the gods themselves as her beautiful figure hugged her uniform.

Even with her breathtaking beauty, no one approached her.

'Well, it makes sense; no one would approach her. After all, she is the failure of the Silvius household and... a future villainess,' Bellator thought, looking at the gloomy girl.

'No person can carry the weight of the world alone.'

Thinking back on the words his father had told him, Bellator approached the seat where Felicta Silvius was seated.

"Is this seat taken?" Bellator asked as he looked at her.

Though it seemed she ignored him as she didn't respond.

Knowing how her character acted, Bellator was not offended by her lack of response as he took a seat next to her.

Bellator, bored, laid his head on the table as he decided to take a nap.

A few seats ahead of Bellators, a boy with night black hair and eyes of the same color glared angrily at Bellator.

Thoughts of the embarrassment Bellator had put him through swirled in his head.

A crooked smile was plastered on his face as he stood up, ready to approach Bellator with his two lackeys.

Though his attention was quickly diverted as the doors to the classroom opened, revealing 'them.'

The future heroes of humanity, the sons and daughters of the most influential people in the human domain and also the main characters.

An eerie silence filled the room, as everyone's attention was drawn towards them.

Lifting his head from the table, Bellator looked awestruck at the scene before him.

Leading the group of four was Felix Luminous, the first-ranked student of the first years, a peak E+ ranked student, the holder of the system, the fourth child of the Central Union's leader, and also the main character.

Boasting an imposing height of 6 ft 1, his chiseled body, which was visible even through the school uniform, stood tall. His high cheekbones and V-shaped jawline accentuated his handsome appearance, as his dark blue hair shone under the light. His eyes, the same color as his hair, seemed to hold untold wisdom. Even with the scar over his left eye, his A-rank charm still stood out.

Next to him stood 'her,' the main heroine of the novel, the second-ranked student, daughter of the fifth-ranked human, heir to the second-ranked guild, and also one of the main characters, Seraphina Nightshade. Her dark black hair glistened under the room's light, her piercing purple eyes, and a figure which could only be compared to a succubus as her large perky breast hugged her uniform, leaving a lot to the imagination. Her otherworldly beauty exuded a mature charm, something a 15-year-old girl should not be exuding, enough to make countries go to war, accompanied by her E+ rank strength. Seraph was the envy of all girls and the dream of all boys.

Walking behind her was her twin brother, Julius Nightshade, the main rival of Felix, the fourth-ranked student, an E+ rank student whose strength mirrored that of his sister. His dark charcoal hair mirroring that of his sister, his brown eyes a huge contrast from his sister's, his tall stature rivaling that of the main character, his muscles bulged as he walked, and his handsome appearance could be said to rival an angel.

The last character to walk in was Lumenia Lucida, her dark purple hair accompanied by her blood red eyes, accompanied by her hourglass figure. Her large breasts and voluptuous figure earned her a lot of stares from the males, her E+ rank strength showing that she was a main character. As she walked, a proud smile adorned her face as she looked down on the rest of the students.

As all the main characters finally took their seats next to each other, flocks of students surrounded them as they all tried to form a connection with such influential people.

As all the students surrounded the main characters, only three people remained in their seats and didn't meander the main characters.

One of them being Bellator, the other being Felicta, who was uninterested with all the commotion, the last being 'him.'

A character who was ranked third within the first years, someone with an E+ rank strength, his dreadlocks were tied in a ponytail as his beautiful dark skin and shining golden eyes similar to those of Bellator stood in full display, his appearance not lacking compared to the rest of the main characters.

Even as someone who had read the novel, this character was still a mystery to even Bellator. His mysterious past, accompanied by his unusually overpowered trait, earned him the nickname [One Man Army] and also [100 Weapons Master]. He was a character shrouded in mystery and someone who at this point in time was stronger than the main character.

'It feels so unreal seeing characters who to me were previously only fiction, the way they move,The way they talk, and even their darkest secrets—I know everything about them. They're characters I love. I laughed with them and cried with them while reading the novel. Hell, I even mourned them. They are characters I would love to get to know, though unfortunately, that can't happen. After all, I will have to become a villain.'
