Professor

Professor Allan's statement answered the awkwardness Ryo felt since entering the class. Likewise, Lucas said that Anna had a complicated background.

"From the data I received, all of you have extraordinary potential to shake the world. But unfortunately, you can't control your own abilities," said Professor Allan. He adjusted the position of his glasses which had started to fall from the bridge of his nose.

"Professor?" asked Cindy as she raised her finger questioningly.

The man immediately looked in the direction of the voice and lowered his glasses slightly, and replied."Yes?"

"As long as we can eradicate the monsters, isn't that enough?"

"Nope, the monsters that you know in this era were just their remains from the great war. The Exo-Creatures that appeared when The Calamity happened were more terrifying. And we don't know when they will come again, perhaps tomorrow, or the next hour? Better prepared than sorry."

Ryo nodded in agreement. The Abyssal creature he fought during his awakening was enough to overwhelm a platoon of troops. He couldn't even imagine how strong the exo-creatures the previous Rifters fought.

"What was the first monster that you fought after you got awakened?" Ryo couldn't help but ask as he threw a cynical look at Cindy.

"Just a couple of Sound Eaters a few years ago, and I've been killing small fry here and there. How about you?" Cindy replied with a big smile.

"Abyssal Creatures, on my first day," said Ryo very calmly and crossed his arms.

"No way!" Cindy immediately jumped up and grabbed Ryo's shoulder. She looked at Ryo's face to make sure his words were true.

Anna's expression immediately turned fierce, she removed Cindy's hand from Ryo's shoulder.

Cindy immediately narrowed her gaze akin to a wild animal replying to Anna's challenge, and simply gripped her wrist.

"Okay,the two of you should calm down!" Ryo exclaimed. He tried to separate the two of them before the classroom turned into a battle arena.

However, the two beautiful women didn't budge at all and instead the atmosphere around them heated up. The two of them hissed, and their blazing eyes revealed a strong killing aura.

Professor Allan instantly activated his skill and lifted the two into the air.

"Behave! Both of you!"

The two of them tried to rebel, but the man's ability to manipulate gravity couldn't be resisted. And they chose to obey and returned to their respective seats.

"What an eyesore." Professor Allan complained as he wiped his glasses.

Riiingggg!

The bell signaling the lunch break rang loudly and at the same time signaled the end of their fight.

"That's all for today. If you want to continue your brawling, use the arena, and maybe you both can make some fame from it, have a good day!" said Professor Allan as he walked away.

"Huh! You are lucky, Anna Karennisyova!" taunted Cindy once more.

"What? Do you want some? Come to me!"

Ryo got a headache and immediately pulled Anna out of the room.

"That's enough Anna. Come, let's have some lunch," said Ryo.

Anna complied and snorted angrily at Cindy. She was being held by Flaura, who waved her hand to signal Anna to leave immediately.

After the two of them got trays of lunch in the cafeteria, they sat down on a corner bench.

"Thanks for your concern, but you don't need to go that far, Anna." chirped Ryo as he finished his meal.

"I know. I just got so irritated when she said as long as we could kill monsters, then it was enough. Being a Rifter is more than that!"

Ryo sighed softly and patted Anna's shoulder, "I understand, I know your feeling. Just calm down, okay?"

"Okay..." Anna replied as she relaxed her shoulders.

Ryo was enjoying his time with Anna, but his gaze shifted to a girl who was walking beside Lucas and was walking towards where they were sitting.

Her body was slender, not too tall and wearing a uniform with a special badge used by the Upper Class students.

He didn't see it wrong even though he only met her once at the mansion, he was absolutely sure. That girl was Emma, ​​the youngest maid in the mansion. However, Ryo remained silent and pretended not to know her so as not to attract the attention of others.

At first, Emma didn't notice Ryo when she looked around, she was talking with her two new friends, but then they met each other's eyes because Emma felt Ryo's presence. Unfortunately, someone also noticed him.

"Hey, there you are, Ryo. I heard you fell into the bottom class in this academy. I can't if it's true, hahaha!" Lucas laughed so hard he attracted the crowds in the vicinity.

Emma paused from talking with her friends, then greeted him. However, she ended up with her usual maid's manner unconsciously. "Ah! Good afternoon Young Master Ryo, nice to meet you here." Emma bowed her head in a greeting that only a servant would do to her master.

Anna and Lucas were shocked, as were the people around them.

'How did she get to the academy? Ah, it must be that damn Elena.' Ryo silently thought.

"Young master? Ehh... Ryo, you gotta give me a little explanation about this," Lucas said with a smile.

"Let's talk in a quieter place," Ryo grumbled as he led them out of the cafeteria area.

The four of them finally spoke in a corner away from the rest and then took a deep breath. "Where should I start, huh?" Ryo said in confusion.

"You can start with your full name and where you come from." Lucas continued.

Ryo took a deep breath.

"Yes, Ryosuke Ryuji, adopted son of Ryuji, founder of White Raven."

Lucas and Anna couldn't contain their surprise. A simple man who always seemed weak was actually one of the most influential people in White Raven.

"In other words, you are the White Raven's rightful successor? I really can't believe this!" Lucas grumbled when he felt himself much lower than Ryo. His pride just couldn't accept it.

"Same here, I couldn't believe it too, when I was first told. Okay with this, I hope you guys can keep this a secret. Emma, ​​from now on if we meet, just call me Ryo. Do you understand?"

"I understand," replied Emma, ​​lowering her head.

"Hmm... But why did you cover the truth up? Isn't it very profitable if everyone knows your true position?" asked Anna as she looked at Ryo.

"I'm sure you know the reason," said Ryo.

Anna thought for a moment then slapped her forehead, "If people find out too early, they will attack you. And you can be used to suppress the White Raven if they manage to kidnap you or even worse."

"You do have a sharp mind," said Ryo.

Emma then lowered her head towards Lucas for lying to him, "I'm sorry Lucas, I have lied to you about my true self. Let me introduce myself once more, Emma Nightwing, Katyushka Family's maid."

Lucas snorted in annoyance and leaned his back against the wall, "Looks like this can't be leaked to the public?"

"Yepp, but don't worry. I won't ask you and Anna to tell me your background. I'm just asking you to keep this a secret until I'm strong and ready," said Ryo and lowered his head.

"I can't promise that, but I will try my best to not blabber this out. You know my position as a British nobleman, I can't turn away from the Commonwealth," Lucas said.

"Fair enough, Anna?"

Anna shut her mouth and then pretended to zip her mouth. "You can trust me, I shall cut out my tongue before I'll your secret to anyone."

"Great then, now we shall come back to class before anyone grows suspicions of us." Ryo suggested as he walked out with Anna on his side.

All of them returned to their respective classes after the incident, but of course, rumors quickly spread by word of mouth.

The Upper Class gossipped about Emma's identity, and no one knew her purpose for attending the White Raven.

Likewise, with Ryo, he was gossiped about in the lower class. Everyone was talking about his true identity.
