All eyes were on Rey.

As he stood before Adonis and the head guard who held the Truthseeker, an air of tension wrapped around him.

Faces in the crowd held a mix of curiosity and uncertainty—or the lack thereof—everyone with various expectations.

And then, breaking the silence…

"How many Skills do you have, and what are their names?" Adonis asked calmly.

He had automatically taken the role of proctor, and no one dared complain considering how honest he had been with everyone about his powers.

And how extraordinary those powers were.

Rey replied firmly, "I have just one Skill, named [Doppel]."

A murmur swept through his classmates, hushed gasps and whispers tinged with surprise.

The sheer surprise arose from the absurdity of someone bearing an F-Tier Class possessing a single Skill.

The astonishment lingered in the air, palpable among those gathered.

"Pffft!"

"N-no way!"

"This is even worse than I expected."

Some didn't even bother hiding their chuckles any longer. Those who thought they had it bad, thanks to only having a few decent Skills, and perhaps an average Class, felt extremely relieved to see someone worse off than them.

This too was part of life.

But a sudden voice cut through the mockery.

"Everyone, please be silent. I will not allow you to speak about one of our classmates like that!" He proclaimed firmly, his tone commanding attention

It instantly caused an absolute lull among the murmurs and snickers.

The voice was Adonis', and he had a deep frown of disapproval on his face.

"Rey is one of us. You are all judging him without even knowing his full capabilities. Even if he is weak or average, he doesn't deserve to be looked down on. We are all in this together!"

As Adonis continued, the arrogant and condescending gazes began to fade. The faces of the students fell, regret settling in for those involved in the indirect bullying.

"Remember what Seraph said. We need to look out for one other. So please… let's stop this."
