Since it was his last day, he decided to find his class. After finishing his last semester and completing his exams, they didn't need to go to the academy.
But in the academy, they could still learn more about their abilities and even spar with each other.
So, students would continue to join the classes.
When he knocked on the door of his class, his teacher opened the door.
Seeing his face, the teacher cracked a smile and said.
"Look who is here. Our risk taker! Eon, how is your condition?"
Eon smiled back politely and said.
"Sir, I am perfectly fine. Can I join your class?"
"Please! You have become a rare guest since our exam. Take a seat!"
When Eon entered the class, most of the girls started fawning over him. Unlike the mature women, they hadn't seen the reality of the world.
They still believed in love, but they were only seventeen.
He wasn't interested in them. Even Eon Grant wouldn't go for girls younger than eighteen.
He didn't mind if he was younger. That only made things spicier, but he couldn't accept Loli.
And, so, these girls became more attracted to him, trying to be more mature in front of him while also showing a silly smile.
Some girls with big breasts would even use those melons against him.
"Eon, how are you?"
"Eon, does your body still hurt?"
"Eon, do you need me to visit you at your house?"
"Eon, please sit with me!"
"Eon, don't listen to this bitch! Sit with me!"
Seeing this, the teacher helplessly sighed, took a deep breath, and roared.
"Shut up!"
Suddenly, the room became silent, and the teacher looked at Eon helplessly.
"You are the only student who makes me hate and love you at the same time. You are smart, polite, and brave."
"But you are too charming, too shameless, and too chaotic for my class."
Eon proudly raised his head and said.
"Sir, that's who I am."
"Yeah, just a talentless bastard!"
A scoff came from the side. Everyone in the classroom turned towards him at the same time.
He was a slightly muscular dude with not so proportionate face. With a slightly brown tone, his face was too wide and thick.
His face was made for chubby people, but due to his muscular build, that face only made him look more ugly.
"Wow! He spoke. I knew he was going to speak."
"Of course, he will speak. That guy is too jealous of Eon's look."
"Come on, not just him, even I am jealous of Eon's looks."
The boys started whispering in each other's ears, but those whispers were still heard by Paul.
He was furious, but he didn't release his anger on them; instead, he looked at Eon and said.
"Eon, don't think you are special because of your pretty face. You are just a talentless bastard who almost died in a dungeon stealing a mana crystal."
Hearing that, Eon narrowed his eyes. Originally, he was going to simply ignore this guy.
But now, he couldn't do it.
A long time ago, he didn't use to understand how those reborn characters would get angry at small insults while still having a good brain.
Even though they knew this would only make the situation worse, they would still strike back in anger.
Now, he was starting to understand them.
Who was he?
Eon D Grant, the Emperor, the Heir of the Grant Family, the future strongest man.
As an Emperor, how could he tolerate such insults?
He looked back at Paul and said.
"At least I tried to fight those monsters. You are just trash with an ugly face. You should just put your face on the toilet paper. Believe me, it will sell well."
His words angered Paul even further. He simply couldn't accept Eon's existence if they were born to opposite each other.
And, it made sense. One was talentless, while the other had talent. One was extremely handsome, while the other was extremely ugly.
It felt like they were born enemies.
"You think you are so good after entering the dungeon. Let's go to the training ground. I will show you your place, that is my boots."
Paul stood up as he challenged Eon, pointing his finger at Eon and at his boots.
Seeing this, the teacher didn't say anything. They didn't advocate killing, but they didn't stop bullying.
This would only inspire students to learn more about their abilities.
"Who is afraid of an ugly monster like you?"
Eon snorted.
He wanted to teach this guy a lesson, not just for his Emperor's pride but also to fulfill one of Eon Grant's wishes.
He couldn't fulfill the Harem part. So, let him do at least this for himself.
Soon, they stood on a large podium with the entire class surrounding them. Even teachers from other classes had appeared to watch the battle.
"Hey, are they serious this time?"
One of the teachers asked.
Eon's teacher nodded.
"It seems like Eon has a lot of confidence in his ability. Though Paul also has a good family background and, unlike Eon, he didn't waste all of his money."
Hearing that, a female teacher chuckled.
"Even if he wanted to, no woman would go out with him. He has to be extremely lucky to save a girl in a damsel-in-distress situation."
"Even then, the girl might promise to repay him with money rather than her body."
Another female teacher glanced at her and spoke.
"You can't say that just because you have B-Rank talent too. There are plenty of C and D Rank talents who wouldn't mind going out with him."
"Ahem! I think we should just focus on their battle."
At this moment, Paul and Eon stood in front of each other, preparing themselves for a battle.
"I am going to enjoy crushing your bones."
Paul showed real anger in his eyes as he sprinted towards Eon. His speed was quite fast, but Eon suddenly sidestepped and raised his leg.
Bang!
He kicked Paul in his kidney with his knee, sending him back.
"Urgh!"
Paul felt the pain and almost fell on one knee while clutching his stomach.
He wasn't an idiot. He immediately realized that Eon had gotten good at fighting because of his experience in the dungeon.
'I haven't been in a real fight. I need to use my ability.'
He made the decision without a second thought.
Even Eon felt surprised by his own movement. That was too clean for him, as if he predicted Paul's punch to his chest.
'It seems like a life and death situation in the dungeon had made this body react on its own in danger.'
Just when he thought about it, he felt an even greater sense of danger coming his way.
[Fire Fist]
A blazing wave of orange flame burst towards him at an extraordinary speed, tearing apart the floor as it moved closer.
But instead of running away from the attack, Eon dashed towards the flames.
"What is he doing? Is he crazy?"
"He is going to get himself killed. Wait, what is his ability again?"
"Could it be he possessed some kind of defensive ability?"
The discussions were quite loud in the surroundings. Even Paul was surprised when he heard that.
But he didn't care. He just kept releasing more and more flames from his fist. He didn't understand why his flame suddenly stopped, though.
At this moment, the flames hadn't stopped; instead, they were being devoured into a singular point in the middle of the podium.
This void didn't have an extreme gravity. Instead, it was created once it emerged.
It violently started devouring the fire and even the air around it. Soon, all of the flames released by Paul disappeared.
"Wh-what?"
Paul was left stunned, standing. He had improved his ability using the Mana Crystal.
Although it hadn't gone through a transformation, it was still hot enough to boil water instantly.
But instead of burning Eon, his flames simply disappeared.
At this moment, he saw a strange dot in mid-air. There was a lot of wind near it, and the air was being devoured.
"My Void Consumes It All."
A chilling voice rang in his ears as he saw Eon in front of him. Before he could even react, Eon launched a punch to his gut.
His face jerked forward, and Eon kicked his jaw with the knee, throwing back his head.
Then, he extended his leg and kicked Paul on the chest.
Whoosh! Bang!
Paul flew back like a rag doll, but before he collided against the ground, Eon's teacher suddenly appeared and caught him.
He turned towards Eon and glared.
"You were too harsh. It feels like his ribs were broken."
Eon casually waved his hand and said.
"Don't worry, he has absorbed a mana crystal. His body is beginning to transform. He will heal by tomorrow."
His teacher sighed and said.
"Anyway, congratulations! Although your potential is low, your ability is pretty amazing."
"You will get a good result in the Tower of Infinite Heaven if you work hard."
