"Huh?! ZERO?!" Everyone in the class was shocked to hear Onyx Urd Tnepres' self-introduction.
"Are you serious?! It's impossible! Is it possible that the Tefisa machine is broken?!" all the students whispered to each other.
"No! There's no way that machine is broken. It's the most advanced machine of all time and our country has been using it for years and has never missed an update," said one of the students.
Onyx Urd Tnepres just smiled listening to his classmates' murmur conversation, occasionally he was seen grinning like a madman just because he saw their confusion.
Chuckling, Onyx Urd Tnepres interrupted their conversation, "Why should you be confused? Aren't you smart people who have abilities above me? There's no need for you to be confused, just act normally, as is normal for people who have a higher number of ability to look down on those below them!"
Instantly all eyes in the class looked at Onyx Urd Tnepres with a sharp gaze full of anger.
"Yeah! Yesss..!! Like that!! This is the kind of view I want! The lower you look down on people who are lower and weaker than you, the more wow it feels!" Onyx Urd Tnepres continued while laughing with a facial expression and gaze that looked like an ambitious psycho.
How? This is impossible! How is this possible?! How can someone else have the same level of ability as me? Mikhael Ren, who was silent and shocked to hear his words, could only be frozen in place, his expression in disbelief, his face pale and trembling with confusion, but the expression in his eyes looks like a happy lion who found his prey.
Ugh! Unbelievable! How could anyone other than me have a ZERO ability number?! I thought it was just me! Interesting! As I suspected, this place is full of interesting people!I need to make sure nobody knows my ability -Mikhael Ren chuckled.
Poke! Poke! Ruby Meleny poked Mikhael Ren's shoulder.
"Hey Elren, wake up! Don't dream too long! It's still daytime!" said Ruby Meleny.
Mikhael Ren then came to his senses and looked with a stupid face, his eyes seemed to have stickers attached to them showing that he was happy to have caught his prey.
"Tch! What are you doing? Are you ok?! Your behavior is really strange! For a moment you look so shocked that you turn pale, then the second you look happy, it's like you're about to pounce on someone! It's strange, don't you know that!" said Ruby Meleny who had been paying attention to Mikhael Ren's unique expression who was standing beside her while staring sharply at Onyx Urd Tnepres as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"What?!" Mikhael Ren grumbled with an idiotic expression on his face, "You're so gross, you know that?!" With an idiotic smile he added, "I just want to chop that person up alive and feed it to stray cats!" Mikhael Ren laughed grinningly with an evil look.
After that, while looking around, Mikhael Ren immediately walked out of the room. I need to find the culprit asap!
Onyx Urd Tnepres smiled slyly from a distance as he saw Mikhael Ren sneaking out of the room, silently tailed by Ruby Meleny behind him. Huh?!
Mr. Rabbit run away! Onyx Urd Tnepres muttered with a psycho stare and smile.

Meanwhile, in the special security forces building.
Mr. Owen Dimitri was seen hurriedly exiting the black bulletproof vehicle belonging to the special security forces. He immediately entered the building and headed to a special room heavily guarded by numerous armed special forces in black.
"Welcome, Mr. Owen Dimitri!" said one of the special forces while saluting.
"Report how is Pandora's box?!" asked Owen Dimitri.
Pandora's Box is an ancient myth about a woman and her jar, where in the jar are stored all the evils of the world such as sorrow, disease, and death.
But this time, the Pandora's Box in question is a special glass chamber with a high-security system and extremely tight armed guards. Inside, a key object is hidden, possessing a level of danger exceeding that of mythological tales themselves.
"Pandora is safe, sir! But we received a report that the second object was briefly active. This incident seems to have triggered some members of the Cordoba family, so they want a confirmation report directly with you, Mr. Owen Dimitri!"
"What?! Connect me immediately to the Cordoba family with the VIP emergency network!"
VIP emergency network is a special anti-wiretapping network used by Special Security Forces.
buzz! buzz!
"Hello, I am Owen Dimitri!"
The network is buzzing a bit, but then he can faintly hear the sound of voices responding.
"...hello Mr. Owen!" The deep voice of an old man came from the other side.
"Mr. Cordoba," Owen Dimitri answered very carefully.
"As usual Mr. Owen, your voice is unwavering, strong, calm, and charismatic. But, someone like you shouldn't let your guard down. How could our country's special forces security system be so weak, that it was easily breached by pests?"
Grit! Owen Dimitri's face turned red, a dark aura filled with anger emanating from him after hearing the old man's subtle sarcasm.
How could it not be, Mr. Cordoba is the head of the Cordoba family and one of the world's most respected leaders. He harbors many mysteries, and he is also a descendant of the ancestor who created the legend of the world's most feared ancient weapon, the weapon of heaven and hell, now codenamed EAGLE 1990. And this person, is currently making subtle digs at Mr. Owen Dimitri directly by phone.
"As usual, Mr. Cordoba, your voice still sounds as arrogant as ever," Owen Dimitri replied gently while holding back his emotions.
Chuckled, Mr. Cordoba said, "This is what's interesting about a young man with guts like you. Okay, let's get straight to the point, I'm sure you already know, if something happens to the main object, it will trigger the second object first. And, if that happens, the second object will be awakened first, it will start to disturb the brains and mental state of the Cordoba family who have a direct connection to the second subject. Do you understand what I mean?"
"The bond!" Owen Dimitri replied.
"Exactly! As you know, Mr. Owen, the Cordoba family still doesn't know for sure which of our family members has pure DNA as the bond of the second object. Whether there are any dangerous side effects or anything else is not yet known for sure. So it is very important for us to maintain multiple levels of security for these two objects."
Owen Dimitri just kept quiet listening to Mr. Cordoba speak.
knock! knock! -suddenly a faint knock was heard on Mr. Cordoba's door.
"Mr. Cordoba! Mr. Cordoba! Something happened to your daughter's family!" Mr. Cordoba's servant's voice was faintly heard on the phone.
"Alright, Mr. Owen, I think we should end this conversation." said Mr. Cordoba.
"Ok, Mr. Cordoba, thank you for your time," Owen Dimitri ending the call.
Owen Dimitri was silent for a moment after hanging up the phone. He thought back to what Mr. Cordoba had said to him.
He sensed the approach of an unknown danger and the extent of its impact on the country and the world. As a young veteran with extensive experience in the battlefield and a long history of modern technology, what he feared most was the immeasurable and unpredictable danger.
He had done everything he could as head of the country's special security forces, being tasked with closing any loopholes that posed a risk to national and global security. But what about the loopholes he didn't even know existed? He simply anticipated all the possibilities and then patched them with robust security measures.
The first object, Mikha's gold bracelet, lies dormant in Pandora's box. The second object, Gaby's gold earring, lies dormant in the Cordoba family's luxurious home, which boasts a multi-tiered security system. But all of this will be in vain if there's still a small gap for pests to penetrate. Every day, these pests become faster, smarter, and more sophisticated.
"Hmm.. It seems like it's time to gather the talented young people selected for this year's Academy, to work with a new special team, which I will form from the special security forces," said Owen Dimitri.
