A Potential "Protagonist" .. Maybe

Once inside his class got lots of different stares, some disdain others pity and some who didn't care. 

'Seems we were the last class.. Figures' he thought

The classes were classified as 1-A, 1-B, 1-C and 1-D but his class wasn't any of them, his class was a development class for people who haven't awakened yet. Some people called them the system rejects since usually people receive their system at the age of 8. 

The ones who never receive their system are called systemless. Some use hasher labels as rejects or blessless to say the gods don't even acknowledge them. Ordinary people who don't have a system can still do two things a system user can. They can only use everyday life magic and storage. 

And his class was just that filled with people who are waiting for their systems to awaken. When that happens they will get to move to one of the four classes.

There were more than a 100 but less than 200 students standing in the middle looking ahead now. The teachers of each class went off to the side as they watched. As they all looked to the concrete stage, there was a huge sphere that looked like a magic ball. 

In front of it was the headmaster and assistant headmaster. The assistant headmaster stepped forward first and used the mic to talk to the students.He was in his late 40s and he went by assistant headmaster Karn. He explained how the evaluation will go and what to expect. After he was done, he stepped back and the headmaster stepped forward to give his speech of encouragement and equality. He was a man in his mid 50s that went by headmaster Finn. 

Systems are classified by tiers such as Lower, Middle, Higher, Greater, Upper, Earth, Sky, World, Star, Heaven, and God is what assistant headmaster Karn said. 

After the headmaster  was done the assistant headmaster came back and said 

"Alright let's begin the freshman evaluation"  

"Yes" said the students

"We will proceed with class 1-A then 1-B in that order so with that said start" said the assistant headmaster

Coming up first from class 1-A was a male student who had a look of disdain towards everything. He was quite tall, about 1.86m, with short brown hair and eyes. He wore the academy's uniform but his was slightly different as he was a noble belonging to a Count nobility. 

Nobles have lines around their collar to indicate which nobility they belong to by how many they have. It doesn't really mean much just to let people know they're from a place that still uses a monarchy system.

As he got in front of the huge sphere he looked towards the assistant headmaster as the latter nodded and say

"Place your hand on it, the sphere will act as a magic ball and scan you to see if you have awakened your system or not" 

"Will it be displayed" asked another male student

"Yes if you're awakened it will by showing the type and tier of the system" replied the assistant headmaster

"And if not" asked a female student 

"The display will show nothing, indicating the person hasn't awakened yet" he said 

"But don't be discouraged if that happens, it's different for everyone so be patient" spoke the assistant headmaster

Once the male student, who's a noble, placed his hand on the sphere it scanned his hand for about 30 seconds. After the scan finished and he was able to remove his hand, what everyone saw was the type and tier which let everyone know that he had awakened.

Looking at it himself, he smirked as he already knew the outcome. 

"Oh a Battle system not bad no wonder it's a Upper tier system" said assistant headmaster

"Not bad, I'd expect nothing less of a count's son" said the headmaster

"You can go back now… next person can come up" said the assistant headmaster

The male student walked down and passed the male student who asked the first question earlier. He smirked at him and said 

"Why bother you're lucky to be in the same class as us legitimate nobles" 

He didn't reply back to him and just walked up the stairs to do the same thing as the other guy. With no reply, the count's son was visibly upset at the disrespect of ignoring him and he made a look that said he'll make him regret it. 

In the back where his class was located, Mikhail heard and saw the exchange between the two and had a slight smile under his mask. 

'That was fast, it seems they already have bad blood with one another' though Mikhail

"Wonder what their story is but I'm more interested in seeing if it can detect mines even though no other person or thing could" mumbled Mikhail 

As he thought about that, the guy who the count's son was glaring at, did the same as him. At about two minutes in everyone started whispering and saying things

"How is he even in class 1-A"

"It's been over two minutes already and nothing has happened yet"

"Yeah so shouldn't the next person go up now, why is he still up there"

"Why hasn't the assistant headmaster say anything yet"

"Is there something we don't know about why they haven't yet?"

"I heard he was the illegitimate son of Count Lagford"

"Really"

"Yeah"

"No wonder young master Aaron said that to him"

"You mean they're brothers but Aaron doesn't acknowledge him"

"All of them except their father and two sisters"

"Hehe looks like it will be all them now"

"You're righ…"

Stopping in their tracks as the scan was complete with great shock and astonishment at what was displayed.

"Oh what a surprise" said the assistant headmaster

"Yes indeed, no matter the circumstances he's still his flesh and blood" replied the headmaster

"How can that be, how could that good-for-nothing possible have one and a higher tier one at that" said Aaron grinding his teeth while clenching his hands 

"He actually has one and one that's better than young master Aaron" 

"Shush don't let him hear you. I heard he has a temper towards certain things and young master Marcik is one"

"Now you call him young master, before you didn't even say his name"

"Shut up"

"Whatever"

"No, no, no this can't be happening, something must be wrong with the scanner yes that has to be" said Aaron who didn't want to believe the results of the Marcik's scan

Seeing how Aaron was, the students took a step back just in case he did something, knowing the kind of temper he has.

"So he knew of this outcome" stated the headmaster

"It seems so but to have a God tier system and for it to be the God of Growth & Adaption System is simply incredible" said the assistant headmaster 

"Seems we have added a new God tier user now" said the headmaster with a smile

"Congratulations student Marcik" said the assistant headmaster

"Thank you sir" replied Marcik as he was also shocked by the results too as he just acquired it and wasn't paying attention at first

"Now let's keep it moving next up" said the assistant headmaster

Walking down the stairs, Marcik was too busy to pay attention to the whispers and looks he was getting, especially from Aaron who wanted to do something but refrained from it because of the headmaster. He was told that the headmaster was someone mysterious that no one truly knew about. So he swallowed his pride for now. 

'I'd expect nothing less from a "protagonist" but that's an interesting system' thought Mikhail

"You have a long road ahead of you and it seems your first test will be with your family. Good luck" said Mikhail even though no one could hear him as no one was close enough to hear him 

After seeing a God tier system earlier on there weren't any more. That was until there were two in class 1-C, one in class 1-D and another in Mikhail's class. They belong to two boys and two girls and one of the boys was from his class. 

Mikhail was going up next after someone just awakened to an Earth tier system before him. Making his way to the stage, people were talking.

"Hey it's him right"

"Yeah, the guy with the mask and gloves"

"He's weird"

"Is his face that ugly or something for him to wear a mask"

"I heard rumors about him being disfigured as a kid by a beast monster"

"I heard it was caused by an evil organization who uses their victims skin for rituals"

"What eww are you serious"

"Of course haven't you heard of the Vetix Organization a few years ago that was on the news"

"Them.. I thought it was just a publicity stunt the government used to try to trick us"

"No that was real"

"Poor guy I feel bad for him"

"Yeah me too" 

"Hopefully they got what they deserved"

"Must had been traumatizing for him to start wearing a mask and gloves"

"Truly"

'What kind of rumors are those, don't say that or the protagonist light will shine on me and I don't want that' thought Mikhail as he went up the stairs

The headmaster and assistant headmaster looked at him but didn't say anything as he put his hand on the evaluation sphere. There was some anticipation from a few students and teachers and after about three minutes. Everyone was thinking he had gotten a God tier system also at how long it took but what happened next confused them even more.

'Are you serious right now, why, why now' he thought with a bit of displeasure
