Strong

"Are you okey boy?" Professor asked.

"Yeah!....am alright. But sorry I think I need to go." He said while he went at the wall and return the weapons. " See you tomorrow Professor."

'He sure is strange' Professor thought.

Xander open the door and start to run at full speed toward the dom area. He was too excited to see what he got since he didn't get a time to read them well.

When he reach at the room he found no one.

'Atleast no one inside, though I don't no those guys but I prefer being alone.' Xander thought.

He went direct to his bed and he laid facing upward.

[Name: Xander Vinn]

[Race: Human]

[HP 10/10]

[Strength: 3]

[Agility: 2]

[Stamina: 2]

[Status points available: (+2)]

'So I should place these points somewhere, but which is the best option?' He thought. 'Should I place it on strength? Or...I guess agility is something about reflex, it's also a best option. Wait a minute! Isn't stamina also a best idea?....Shit, how am I supposed to choose now, am not that good at making either!'

It was a difficult situation since he don't know how great two points will affect ones body.

[Strength: 4]

[Agility: 3]

At the end he assign one in strength and the other in agility. He didn't feel any change or strange power.

'I didn't expect much with adding one point though!' Xander sigh and get up ready to leave.

It was already at evening when he get out, even those from Arcana class they were out. He head to canteen and order some food.

"Hi, would you mind if I seat here?" A girl approach him.

He raise his head to look at her, then his head look at the other side, not because he was feeling shame but he was looking for something else.

'There are still empty seats, and she still choose to come here.' He wonder since it was strange to him, from where he came from they used to ignore him and others reached the stage of bulling him. 'Now I come to think about it, I am not that handsome either. It's may be she don't know my background.'

"Sure." He replied.

The girl put her plate filled with delicious food and sat at the opposite side of the table facing Xander.

"What's your name?" The girl asked.

"Xander, why." He replied.

"Just asking. Don't you have friends?" She asked.

"Why?"

"I haven't seen you with one."she replied.

'Have she been spying on me or something?' He thought.

"I don't! Why even care?" He wonder.

It pass a moment of silence without anyone said a word. And the instead of give out an answer she asked.

"Can we be friends?" She asked without hesitation.

Xander was taken aback by unexpected question, during a short amount of time he had think a lot of thing. He even think she have been sent to spy on him but for what reason?

"I am used to be alone, besides I don't believe anyone so just leave me as who I am."

Xander stand up and leave the canteen. He was so distracted in many things like why of a suddenly did she need to be his friend.

'It's just a first day in the Academy. She might just be like that brat in a Combat class. I can't go around and trust everyone else again.' He thought.

When he was roaming around with no destination, he found himself in the forest. He sat beside the tree but suddenly he heard the footsteps and when he turn around he saw three people, he can tell they were students because of their outfits but when he look them for a long time....

'It can't be....have they real been following me this whole time?' Xander thought.

"Shit, I have to get out of here." He cursed loudly.

But before he had started to run, he was hit by a blast of ice and throw him at distance.

"Damn it, why didn't I saw them before?" He cursed again

Xander stand up and look at the incoming group. He was nervous since he don't know were he will stand to fight all those three at the same time and still they hard their arcana.

"Are you really that bastard?" Xander shout. "I thought you wanted to revenge, how comes you brought yourvwhole damn gang? Do you fear me that much?"

"Come-on, stop using that damn arcana and fight me if you can."

He tried to convice him that they can fight one on one may be he can stand a chance. His little drama seems to work as he can see a boy walk forward as his partners remain behind.

"Tell me Xander, do you think that you are worth of my opponent?" A boy asked.

"Only time will tell Marco. Stop talking and fight me already." Xander replied.

[New quest received]

[Defeat an opponent]

'What is this now? Why should I defeat him? Am just buying some time here.'

"Lets see, who took wrong turn." Marco shouted as he charge in.

'I can do this.' Xander thought as he take a fight position.

He waited calm until Marco reached near him as he close a fist and jump toward Xander to deliver a fist. At the right time Xander step aside and throw his fist toward Marco's ribs. It hit him perfectly and throw him in two meters away.

Xander was left confused, he didn't know if he was that powerful. Marco tried to stand while his hand on his ribs, he still feel pain from the area but he endure.

'Did that one status point in strength did this?' He wondered. 'If that's a matter then I can do this. But that's if he won't use arcana.'

Xander remain at his position without even blinking for fear of Marco if he use arcana.

'How did he become that strong? Was he strong since that time?' Marco wonder

"I see you have grown strong, but you left me with no choice" Marco said as he raised his hand start to grow ice from his fingers toward an elbow. Then he threw his arm forward and the ice that covered his arm left flying toward Xander. But before reached him, a strong barrier like fire appear between and an ice evaporate in no time.
