"Okay. Then I am leaving . Thanks for everything. " - Haru.

"We are the one who should be thanking you. " - Aunt Ji.

Haru bowed and left the place. Just when Nana was about to close the door. She saw Haru run toward the store again.

"What ?" - Nana.

"Can I borrow your phone just for a minute? " - Haru was embarrassed.

Nana was speechless. She took out her phone and handed to him.

Haru took it and browsed for a while. Actually he was searching about his ability. The novel didn't explain much about how to use the ability so he had no idea how to.

But fortunately , ability user aren't uncommon in this world so he easily found the method. It was like a common sense to this world so it wasn't some hidden secret.

He cleared the browser history and handed back the phone.

"Thank you. See you tomorrow. Ah. Right. I will return the clothes after washing it properly. And can you please forget about that in the roof? " - Haru.

Nana remembered the scene at the roof and was embarrassed.

"I saw nothing back then. It's already forgotten.

Never speak about it again. " - Nana.

Haru thanked again and went back.

"What happened on the roof ? " - Aunt Ji.

"Nothing. " - Nana.

"Why are you acting embarrassed ? Did you..." - Aunt Ji.

"Don't speak about it. " - Nana.

"Haha. You are making me more curious. But I am more curious about him. How did he even survive till now ? " - Aunt Ji.

"What do you mean ? " - Nana.

"He doesn't have parents , doesn't have any money and doesn't have any place to live. What do you think ? " - Aunt Ji.

"But he said he was going to place to live. " - Nana.

"In this 45 years of living, I am confident to detect lies told by you brats. He was lying . He doesn't have any money and doesn't have any place where he said is visiting. That is why I proposed him to stay here as he seems good kid but he rejected." - Aunt Ji.

Nana looked at the way Haru disappeared to unsure if it was correct or not.

.....

Haru reached a what seems to be open space at the area. There was lights nearby on the poles at the side.

He recalled what he read on the web.

Actually using ability was quite easy. The only things necessary was the energy. As long as the user could sense the energy , they could easily do it.

Haru found a spot and sat down. After sitting down , he focused to sense his surrounding.

Surprisingly, he easily felt some strange energy in his body. He was surprised. From the explanation on the web, this was the so called Energy also know as Mana.

He opened his eyes. He looked at the nearby spot where it was bright due to the bulb. He focused on the spot.

He felt a gush of wind and magically he was on the spot.

Fortunately he chose a place with clean spot or his dress would be dirty.

"Oh. Great. I am talented. Got it on the first try." - Haru.

He raised his hand in victory and praised himself. Truly doing it on one try was praiseworthy.

He stood up excited and tried a few more times.

After multiple times , he found out his limitation. Currently it was limited to 50m where his vision was clear .

And although the teleportation was instant, to use it next time , there was cool down of 10 seconds which was very high.

This limitation was very strict. The Users can decrease such limitation or even remove it after long practices and other methods.

.....

Haru sat down and began to think about his condition. He also remembered seeing another strange things when he was sensing the Mana.

Mana was golden in color but when he was sensing the energy in his body , he seems to have seen another white energy. He was unsure of what it was.

He tried to focus on it once more. It really was there but the quantity of it was only about 1% of the Mana.

He focused on it but was still confused about what it was. As far as he could remember, there was no such energy in the novel.

He decided to leave it for now.

"Ugggh. Tomorrow is the 'test'. If I want to enjoy the story and be close to it, I have to enter the Class A but considering my ability , it's impossible. " - Haru.

He wished that his teleportation ability wasn't limited then he would have surely been to class A.

Just then he felt that something in his changed. For some strange reason, his first thought was his ability.

He felt that his ability has leveled up.

He tested his thoughts. His distance was the same as his vision didn't change but he found that the cooldown was down by half.

He could use the ability after just 5 seconds.

He was excited as well as confused. How the hell did that happen ?

He sat down and started to sense his body once again. His Mana storage was almost empty . He wasn't that surprised as he was using the ability too much. What surprised him was that the other strange energy storage was empty.

Was it used ?

If so , then did it leveled up his ability ?

He was given a pleasant surprise and it was only the answer he could come up with.

"Just what the hell is that energy ? " - Haru was wondering.

He only then noticed that the surrounding was brighter. It was already the next day.

When it was brighter enough to see around , he was surprised to see that he could see the Academy from where he was.

He was walking around at night and it seems that he have walked in a circle.

He let out a forced laugh and went toward the Academy as he had no place to be.

He found a guard at the gate.

"Why are you so early ? Don't you know class only starts at 10 ? It's only 6 30 now. " - Guard.

Haru talked with the guard for a while saying how bored he was at the house and other things. The Guard finally let him inside.

There wasn't anything that he could harm right now and since he was really a student of the Academy, he didn't mind it.

Plus Haru said that he would clean his class as well.

....

When a female staff walked to a room to clean, she found that the room was already cleaned and a student was sleeping on the desk.

She have heard about it from the guard so she didn't disturb him and went to the next room.

.....

"Did you sleep here ? " - Nana was surprised. She was too nervous about the test so she came to the Academy early but found that Haru was already there.

With the noise, Haru also woke up.

"Oh. You are the first one here. What time is it ? " - Haru.

"It's only 9 Am. Students will arrive starting now. Did you not get enough sleep ? Your eyes are very red." - Nana said. She now felt that what her mom was saying was probably true.

"Something like that. " - Haru .

"Did you not find the place where you were going to ? " - Nana.

"No. I found it . It's just that I was too nervous about the test so I couldn't get any sleep. " - Haru touched his nose.

Even Nana could tell that he was speaking a lie but she didn't say anything.

Haru also stood up and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

After a while, he returned. A few students were already inside the class by then.

Juan and Ryan also came after a while.

"Buddy , where did you disappear last day? Just what is your ability ? Just tell us , it's unfair that you know about us but we don't know about yours. " - Ryan.

"Actually, it's nothing that impressive. It's just teleportation but it comes with extreme limitations . " - Haru.

"Teleportation ? That is one of the best ability . How could it be not impressive. " - Juan.

The three of them were surprised.

"Well what do you think, if it's limited to 50m and it's cooldown is 5s? " - Haru.

They finally realized what extreme limitation meant. 5s cooldown was really fatal.

But still they tried to act like they were impressed.

"Lets all hope that we will be in the same class. " - Juan.

"There are 113 students . They will be divided into two classes - A and B. Let's hope that we will enter the A Class. " - Ryan.

"True. But I heard that only 40 out of above 100 students entered the Class A last time. It's extremely hard. I don't think I will be with my ability. " - Nana.

"I don't know about the others. But I am pretty sure that you will be chosen to Class A. The healing ability is extremely rare. " - Juan.

Nana knew healing ability was rare but her ability was filled with limitations.

"I know for sure that you will be in Class A considering you have two abilities . " - Ryan.

Juan said nothing. He was also confident in himself.

As for Haru , if what he said was correct, he would surely not be included in Class A unless he have some background.

Soon it was time for the test.

They gathered every students into a big hall . A few teacher were present at the hall.

They were given student number so it was by the student number that they had to take the test.

But before that a female teacher went to the stage.

"Hello , Everyone . My name is Rain. I will be the Main Teacher for the 1St Year Elite Class. " - Rain.

"Now. The test will begin which we will rate the students by their ability. And let me say early , we will try to limit the number of students in the class to around 30. " - Rain.

Hearing this number , all the students were quite nervous. This number was lower than last year.
