The canteen grew quiet as the top three students of the military school were milliseconds away from clashing together.
Kyle looked at Seed's watch, recognizing now that he is the top student for now because there were three assessments: The first was the dummy test. and The second and last were classified until their time came.
Kyle scoffed, saying, "So according to the first assessment you are the number one top student Taking Jay's place. How marvelous."
Kyle rolled his eyes continuing "Now that I know how strong you are, but I don't have any idea how your powers work. Well that should come in another time for now. My greed of knowing you has been pleased."
Kyle sighed and walked away.
Jay looked at Kyle and then looked back at Seed, waiting until Kyle walked away enough, and then he said, "Or you are afraid that number one and number two is gonna kick your ass."
Seed now had dissipated the blood on his hands. Now that threat has left, so as Jay he dissipated the magnetic field and black attraction you
Seed really wanted to fight Kyle, although he didn't see the number on his watch, but clearly Seed is superior in rank for now. Maybe if he had fought and won, he would have a great reward.
He dropped his gaze on Jay and said: " Thanks, man, for the help and I'm sorry for the drop of your rank because I'm the reason that it dropped."
Jay looked at him, scoffing his words aside, saying, "It's no problem, Seed. That just leaves a room for me to be stronger than you."
Seed looked at the ground and saw the fork that he pierced the top of Matt's Hand it was covered by Matt's blood.
Seed grabbed the Bloody Fork and put it in his mouth, the sweet taste, entered his mouth. And he was interrupted in his happiness by the system message.
You have consumed blood.
HP fully restored.
1 skill point available
Jay looked at Seed thinking, "What a weirdo for loving sauce that much!"
Luckily, there was sauce on Seed's table. So nobody thought that it was Matt's blood.
Seed opened his eyes and met Jay's gaze, sensing the awkwardness between them..
"Would you like a bite?" Seed said as he pointed to the canteen table.
Jay looked at him and said, "You really have a strong appetite," then broke into laughter and sat beside Seed.
Seed didn't mind the company, but what he minds is unwanted questions. Luckily, he can just think of any lies if anything happens.
But to Seed's surprise, Jay didn't ask any question about his power or where he is from or how he got it. They were just chatting normally, thinking of a way for them to become stronger and what class they were joined and how good the food was here in the canteen
"Madame Pierce here really cooks good food." Jay said that as he was digging in more food
"Yeah, and how do you know her name?" Seed asked.
Jay laughed and said, "Well, you must have relationships everywhere if you want to thrive in the military school or life, to be at it"
Seed looked at Jay, saying, "And what relationship do you really must have with Madame Pierce so you can thrive at life?"
Choking on his food, Jay said, "That's for me to know and for you to dot dot dot."
Now, lunch time was over and the first assessment was done, and the rest of the day was for the students to navigate the school well, the available part of the military school
some parts were classified and not for a student to enter except under supervised vision of a teacher.
Now Seed saw the combat class and the elemental class, so as the library, and there was the survival class.
And walking with him through the corridor, was Jay.
None of the classes were available because it was the first day students were to see where and what class they will want to join
the only aisle available was the library aisle.
Jay was happy that he was going to the library and was going to be reading fantasy books like golems. Ghouls. And other supernaturals
"do you like reading Seed? "Jay said excitedly.
Seed locked his gaze on Jay and saw that his eye was full of stars.
Growing up, Seed didn't have any entertainment, and the only thing that he entertained himself with was watching the local TV. Outside any Street Cafe and that was long before Pojay was an adventure.
He didn't fantasize about reading at all, so the answer to Jay's question was clearly no, but looking at him and his puppy eyes, he started to reconsider his sense of humor
"how a big guy, like Jay, has puppy eyes like those," Seed thought.
Seed opened his mouth and said, "Sure, why not? Let's head to the library."
And on their way, every student was looking at them weirdly. They are the first and second strongest students in the school, and they were talking and they were walking and chatting side by side. Normally, people were afraid to contact them or speak to them.
Like they are some sort of a noble
Seed was surprised by how many books the military school had in their library. There were rows and rows of bookshelves and bookstands.
Jay, on the other hand, was amazed, to him, it's like entering Disneyland for the first time so many stories to read, so many secrets to unravel, so many revenges to be avenged. So much wondering, if it were up to him, he would download every single book into a flash drive inside his brain.
Like he was obsessed with knowledge.
"I will go to the Fantasy aisle. You will find me there, Seed." Jay said that he was taking his leave.
Seed didn't know what could he actually do in the library because there are so many aisles to walk through it was overwhelming, like where he could start from.
Because to Seed, all of this was a waste of time. Knowledge that won't help in a fight, because in a real fight, like he was in, knowledge didn't help him. What helped him was instinct, survival skills, and dependency on himself and himself alone.
But knowledge only grew the theoretical part, not the practical part. If he wasn't strong enough to do the practical part, well, knowledge is useless at that point.
He looked at his system, remembering of the SP point
Blood Spray, cost 1 SP
Blood Cannon, cost 1 SP
ah, if there is a way to describe the ability, that would be good. See, it's art.

"How marvellous" Seed said "that could have been useful."
But before he could choose his new skill, he was interrupted from a sound behind him.
"Thank you for saving me from the soldier situation."
As Seed turned around to look who is talking to him he saw a girl bowing her head 90 degrees, looking at the ground. It was the same girl that had the mutant weapon. Fighting the dummy.
"What was her name?" He tried to remember. "Amaya, " that was her name. But clearly he couldn't say his thoughts really out loud, or he will sound like an idiot.
