The Author's POV

Arriving in front of a large room, Donna who stood in front of everyone turned on the lights and said "There's a wide selection of weapons here, so feel free to choose what you deem to be the best fit for you"

A large room appeared before everyone, and the diversity of weapons present here left me speechless. From nunchucks to broadswords. All sorts of weapons that were neatly laid out according to their size were being displayed before us.

I was honestly impressed.

There were so many of them that I couldn't even tell what some of the weapons were.

"I'd be very careful if I were you. If you damage any weapon present, you better be ready to pay up to 500,000 U."

Staring at the excited expression of the students in the class, Donna immediately poured cold water on them as she pointed out the price of each weapon. Some students couldn't help but flinch as they started looking at the weapons like they were some sort of divine artifact.

"I advise using a weapon that is suitable for you so that you don't risk damaging the weapon. Experimenting is good, but that is only if you can afford it"

Looking at the 200 or so students before her, Donna cheerfully smiled and continued "Before taking a weapon, swipe your student card so that you can register your name on the database. After that take your weapon and meet me in the main practice area"

Having finished what she wanted to say, Donna turned around and left.

As soon as her figure wasn't visible anymore, everyone started talking excitedly. Especially the boys.

"Wow, that was the 'Calamity witch'?"

"She's so hot!"

"Oh my god I think I've fallen in love"

"Pfff. You wish, someone like her would never like a loser like you!"

"Wanna fight!"

Scenes like these happened everywhere as the students had already formed their own clique.

I as the lowest-ranked member am obviously excluded from them.

And to be honest, it was exactly what I wished for, as I don't want to spend my time licking someone's ass.

In the lock, the hierarchical system ruled the academy.

Just like the relationship of a peasant and a noble. Only those who were ranked higher had the right to be treated as nobles. Low-rankers like me were merely people who would later become cannon fodder when fighting on the frontlines.

Such was my life now, as the lowest rank in the class.

Contrary to me who was all alone. The main characters were surrounded by a crowd of people.

Kevin, Jin, Amanda, Emma, and Mellissa all had people swarming around them.

Apart from Kevin, the rest were already used to such situations and thus were able to remain indifferent towards the waves of flattery coming from every person's mouth.

But for Kevin, who was not used to such a situation, found himself completely helpless. His previous demeanor, which caused one to respect him completely crumbled as he struggled to get away from the mob.

He wore a stiff smile the whole time, and he tried his best to not come off overly rude as he politely tried to talk to everyone.

"Right now he's probably thinking of a way to get his weapon and escape as fast as possible"

I laughed as I shook my head.

Such was the life of those who wish to stand out.

Ignoring the helpless Kevin, I turned my attention towards the sword section in the armory.

As I already know what I want, I quickly swiped my card and took a slim and elegant Katana.

The leather grip comfortably sat on my hands and the cold metal blade directly reflected the lights from the room.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

"Perfect"

Lightly swinging the katana a couple of times I nodded in satisfaction.

Its weight was neither too heavy nor too light, and added with its durable blade which was made of an extremely tough alloy made the katana a perfect fit for my sword art.

Taking the sword with me, I quickly walked out of the room.

I made my way towards
