"Why are you following me?"
What the hell is this woman talking about? Stalking? Who? Me?
Many questions were going through my mind so much that it is impossible for me to answer her. It's also possible that she is misunderstanding something here.
"What happened cat got your tongue?"
I raised my head and looked in her eyes. I am thinking how to make things clear here. I really want to solve this peacefully.
"Look I will say this beforehand but don't bother me, If you do follow me again then I will make sure you never will be able to follow someone. Did you ever take a look at mirror? Even rotten dogs look better than you. I don't even know how you got confidence that I will get impressed by your foolishness."
"Excuse me, Miss."
"Hmm?" She looked at me with impatience. It seems she still have many things to say.
"Why do you think I would stalk a piece of trash like you?"
I said with coldest look and voice I can.
She was clearly stunned as her face was filled with utter shock. She can't even bring herself to say another word as her mouth flapped like a fish.
"What a waste of time."
I pick up the book and leave. I already did my best to solve this peacefully but this woman clearly cross the line here when she mentioned my face.
She turned around in my direction and said in loud voice.
"Hey you--"
"What is happening here?"
It seems sound of argument reach the people in charge of library. It looks like my plot armor is working.

At that time, Ethan didn't know but that so-called plot armor was actually a suicide jacket.

I went to my room. I am starting to think outside world is scary, I really found my luck to be so shitty, so much that two beauties push my face in mud in a single day.
Now that I think about it, It actually happen twice, My mood just got worse thinking about both days.
There was a package in front of my room. Looking at it, all my gloominess faded away. This is the thing I was waiting for almost a week and it finally here.
I pick up the package and went inside my room as fast as possible.
Opening up the package, I found a syringe and vial with a cover.
I pick it up remove the cover and suck content of vial with syringe and push it in neck.
I feel a prick but after that my sensitivity toward mana suddenly went all time high. It feels like there are holes all over my body which are absorbing mana from surrounding.
The small vial was highly concentrated dose of Rank-up Potion. Rank-up Potion are potion that reduce the amount of time needed significantly. It works for all rank and sub-rank but it is rare resource for anyone regardless of their background.
It is because of all Rank-up Potion is provided by Hope Academy. Hope Academy holds all the monopoly over Rank-up Potion even government can't force them in this matter.
Student can buy it from school shop but they are not cheap at all. I only got it as a reward from past test from that unknown person.
My mouth start hurting due to my smile it is really hard hold back anymore. I open the window and sat cross legged on my bed.

At next morning,
I cleared the sweat on my forehead. I almost fail to Rank-up even with huge amount of rank-up potion.
But....,

After what happen last day, I really do believe my luck is terrible. It shows as from the first day of academy I am offending beauties one after another. I don't even want to doubt it.
But it is surprise that all my stats are balanced, I thought it will be good if I manage to have at the least my speed and mana at rank G but all my stat are balance it means I will need more resources to rank-up then other.
Normally people have their stat rank according to their specialty.
If you have talent for magician then your mana stats will rank up with other random stat rank-ups like Adam White.
If you have talent for warrior then your strength or speed will be higher than other stat.
If you have talent as a tanker then your stamina will be higher than other stat like Lucas Page.
If you have most of the stat balanced like me then you are more suited to be magic swordsman. Kiera is living example.
Magic Swordsman? Me? Dreams are nice thing but a person should live in reality.
Anyway, there is a different aura around me today. Aura of a man, A man who had finally shed his shell. A new man is born from me.
I did my morning routine and leave for class. Of course, I didn't forget to switch-on my aura of a man.
Entering class, I sit on my seat that Lucas saved for me. Lucas has a complicated expression on his face. It seems Lucas wants to talk to me but he can't open his mouth due to aura of a man around me.
Should I switch off? Nah, Scratch that, he should man up and approach me like a man. Oh, He is finally opening his mouth to say something.
"Do you really have to look so confident after watching p*rn all night?"
