Early Morning

**(Next Day)**

*Yawn~*

'Damn my internal clock.' David muttered under his breath, it was freaking 3 am in the morning.

He saw Bennett's innocent sleeping face, not wishing to wake him up, he quietly and skillfully left the bedroom.

"I wonder if I could gain attribute points from training... last time I was at rank two and I've hit the limit... it should've reset now that I'm a tier-three being." he muttered to himself.

It seemed like he was approaching the "no need to sleep" level of cultivation, though, from a monster's standpoint, he still needs food.

There was still some leftover food from the cave, which he dug in, and cleaned the entire inventory of food.

"Finally feel somewhat filled." he patted his belly.

It was still very dark, but it seemed like there were a few professors that were already awake, doing some paperwork... unless they just stood up for most of the night.

'Wonder how much they're getting paid... must be astronomical.' he looked at Mr. Gluri from the window.

Gluri sensed someone looking at him, and stared at the dorm where David and Bennett were.

David took his gaze off of Gluri, frowning, "That perception is better than some monsters..."

**(Outside)**

'So he did breakthrough... he's gotten much stronger. Looks like I need to up the intensity when training him.' He smiled.

While he was thinking about the battle he and David would have once they were of the same tier, someone ran towards him, "Professor Gluri? You're almost never up this early..."

He looked at the person in front of him, "Mn? You're up too, Ms. Nana?" he asked in surprise.

"Yeah... some stuff about David that needs to be tested. You're his teacher, so... you probably have some paperwork to do, right?" she looked at his empty hands.

He raised a brow, "I've already done my paperwork... even though he went to the hospital, he didn't do anything, right? He was unconscious at the time." he asked.

"Ah! So you didn't know? I thought the vice headmaster would've told you by now." she blinked.

He furrowed his brows, "Did something happen?" he asked.

"Nothing bad... though he did breakthrough into the third tier when he arrived in the hospital... what did you do to beat him into breaking through?" Nana looked at Gluri weirdly.

"I don't know... When I fought him during training yesterday, I didn't feel that he was about to breakthrough at all, as if he just reached advanced second tier." he touched his chin.

"Well... we're going to need you to observe David more. After all, he's as talented... if not, more talented than that crown prince. Anyway, I need to go finish my papers, bye." she waved, and quickly left.

Seeing her leave so suddenly, he turned around and looked at the dormitory again, 'Seems like we'll have a real fight sooner than I thought.' he walked back to his office to prepare for class.

Sensing that Gluri had finally left, David sighed in relief, "... Phew, he's finally gone, why did he look back here twice though?" he squinted.

Looking at the [Mini-Map], he could already see some students were starting to wake up, though not many, only about five people in total.

'Jesus, the hell are these people to wake up so early to train? Rock Lee or something?' he muttered in his heart.

**(Outside)**

.

He quickly arrived in the virtual training arena, but he saw that there were a few people there already.

'There's Sam, Feil, and who are the other three?' he looked at the figures in front of him.

The five students could sense someone staring, turning back, they saw another student had also arrived.

"Oh? David! You're here this early as well?" Feil smiled friendly.

He bowed, "Yes, your majesty. It seems like you're also dedicated to your training." he replied.

Hearing David's way of addressing him, he sighed, "... Look, David. This is the fifth time I've told anyone in my class that they don't have to call me that. This is an equal academy, not the royal court or public." he smiled wryly.

Sensing his embarrassment, David changed his tone to be more casual "Oh... then... is Feil ok?" he asked.

"Mn! Much better!" Feil nodded, ignoring the other four students behind him.

Seeing David's expression, he realized that he ignored his companions behind him, "Oh right! Let me introduce you guys, this is David Vale of the Vale family. You already know Sam. He's Robert, he's Gil, and he's Jack... short for Jackson. By the way, they're brothers." he pointed from left to right.

"Nice to meet you." David shook hands with each other them.

"Nice to meet you, David." they all reply.

"So... everyone's here to train right?" David asked.

"Mhn. We've got to catch up with the more talented students." the three nodded.

"Yep, and we're there to help them. Since you're here as well, how about we do a 1v1 tutoring session since there are six of us." Feil suggested.

"I'm fine with anything." Sam replied.

"Me too." David replied.

"That's fine." The three brothers agreed as well.

"By the way. I talked with the teachers. They told us that one thing that they'll reveal is that in the 'practice' mode, there's no need for credits or a time limit, only the ones with monsters will have time limits where you'd have to continuously pay credits." Feil said, going through the door.

'That's some good news... I wonder if it'll affect my real body...' David thought.

"Come on guys! We've barely got three hours before breakfast comes." Feil's voice came from the building.

The other five didn't hesitate and entered the training arena.
