4 Hatred
Waking up in the morning, I looked at the time. It is 7 a.m., and the classes will start at 9 o'clock. Getting up, I walked to the kitchen and made tea. It was my habit on normal Earth. After finishing the tea, I went to the bathroom. stared at the mirror, observing my appearance.
"I didn't notice that this body's face is quite handsome." Jadel was handsome. He has wavy aqua blue hair that's quite long and silver eyes that complement his face. I'm, or rather, Jadel is handsome, but that's it. I can't even be near the main cast. They are absolutely stunning in the memories of Jadel.
Taking off the clothes, I entered the shower. "Wow... My new partner is so big and dark." Well, that's that.
After taking a quick shower, I got out and went to the changing room. I took my uniform and wore it. It looked like a white tux outfit with a black shirt. On the left shoulder side, it showed my name, class year, and rank.
"My rank is 51; well, considering he is from the Wayner family, it's low." After I finished changing, I left for the academy.
Half a year has passed since the classes started in the academy. The dungeon incident happened in the half yearly last exam, dungeon exploration.
It's a test to see what students would do in dungeon exploration and to know what they're capable of. And the instructors will evaluate and grade the students according to their performance.
But the dungeon exploration didn't go as they planned; the dungeon was manipulated by the demon followers. Although it was a coincidence that the academy chose this dungeon for exploration, as the heaven given chance, the demon contractor's took the opportunity for granted.
This caused casualties; around 30 students died and over 60 were gravely injured.

It only took 15 minutes to reach the academy from the dormitory. As I walked in the hallway, I felt a lot of gazes on me. 'Why are they looking at me like I'm a criminal?' I thought, but well, considering Jadel's reputation, it's kind of normal.
After walking five minutes in a hallway, I found the classroom, 'Class A2. Yes, this is the class.' I slowly entered the classroom. As I entered, all the students stopped talking and looked at me with their gazes of confusion, curiosity, hate, and disgust.
It's my first time feeling like this, so I was quite overwhelmed, slowly walking to my seat. I sat there, avoiding everyone's gaze. My seat was placed in the last row, first seat, close to the wall.
'Perfect, now anyone won't give me hostile gazes' While sitting there, I heard a melodious voice. Hearing that voice, my heartbeat quickened as I unknowingly anticipated that person's arrival.
I looked at the door, waiting for that person's arrival. Then I saw a girl entering the classroom, her light blonde hair cascading to her waist, highlighting her milky white skin. Her light brown eyes had a touch of innocence in them that would captivate the students. Seeing her, my heart almost exploded. 'No, no, calm down; think about your cheater girlfriend, Maya. Maya, that bitch' Thinking about her, I calmed down.
Sensing my gaze, Alicia turned in my direction. Upon seeing me, her eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly turned her head away from my direction. Seeing that, I felt a stinging pain in my chest. And that feeling really disgusted me, as I was influenced by it, but I couldn't do anything. Jadel's body and mind likes Alicia, but for me, it really disgusts me.
"Tch. You didn't die in the dungeon. What a pity." Hearing a voice that directed me, I turned in the direction where the sound came from and saw a girl, her gaze piercing through me. Looking at her, my body stiffened.
She is Lucy Lukostrelec from the Lukostrelec family, also known as' Enigmatic Shooters'. An archer family. 5th strongest family. They gained this nickname because once they target a person, it will hit them no matter what. There is also a reason for that nickname, after they awaken, their eyes will turn gold, and looking into those eyes, people feel naked.
Lucy Lukostrelec is a cunning girl and a schemer. She has black hair with golden eyes. She is a fox—a cunning one at that.
My eyes unknowingly looked into hers, and looking into her, I felt like what others would feel; it's like she is seeing me looking through me, the same feeling the protagonist of the story felt and mentioned many times.
"The fucking piece of shit didn't die? and what happened to his eyes. It looks disgusting, just like his face." Hearing another voice, I felt rage rising up, but I didn't say anything.
"Hmm, you're not saying anything? Did the cat get your tongue?" She said it mockingly. "What happened? You didn't bark like you used to." I stared at her silently. If I say anything, I'm sure she will beat the shit out of me like she did to Jadel.
Jadel always brickered and retorted to her, and she would always beat him to pulp whenever that happened. She doesn't care about academy rules, grades, or anything else; she always does and says whatever she wants and beats to pulp whoever oppresses her. That kind of person she is, Shreya Magica, from the Magica family, the 4th strongest family, also known as The Master's of Magic.
She looks elegant on the outside with her beautiful silver hair that reaches her waist. With her captivating hazel eyes and pale skin, she looks stunningly beautiful and elegant, but her personality is the opposite of what it looks like. She has a foul mouth, is arrogant, and beats people up if they offend her. That's how she is.
'Keeping the mouth shut is the better option.'
"Let's go, Shreya. Talking to trash is a waste of time, and it will give you a bad reputation," another girl said, holding Alicia's hand as she went to their seats.
That was Alicia's twin sister, Acelia Asclepius. She has blonde hair and light brown eyes, with slightly different facial features, making it easy to tell who Alicia and Acelia are.
'As if she doesn't have a bad reputation,' I thought.
After they left, I put my head on the bench in a sleeping position. After some time passed, students entered the classroom, and it was time for the class to start.
Flinch!
Suddenly, I felt three chilling gazes on me. Looking up, I saw three students looking at me with a hostile gaze. One of them was the protagonist, Asher Blake. He had black hair and blue eyes, and with his lean body, he looked majestic.
Seeing me, he released his killing intent directly at me, making me choke. 'Fucker, I only discharged yesterday from the hospital.'
The students, sensing the killing intent, looked at me and Asher. Alicia tried to stop it, but Shreya and others stopped her and looked at me mockingly.
I saw their mocking looks, but I didn't care about them. All of my attention was on Asher.
Seeing him, my blood boiled, and my passive skill activated. Bloodlust oozed out of me. Sensing the level of blood lust oozing out of me, the main characters stiffened, and the students around me had difficulty breathing as they started choking and covered themselves with mana.
As my passive skill activated and unleashed powerful bloodlust, my body felt like it was tearing apart. Blood oozed out of my nostrils, and I felt a metallic taste in my mouth. But I couldn't stop the skill; it acted on Jadel's emotions. I tried to control it, but it was futile. Jadel's hatred for Asher is uncontrollable.
The main characters felt threatened seeing me unleash bloodlust while blood dripped out of me.
Suddenly the homeroom teacher entered class, and with a snap of her finger, both me and Asher fell to the ground.
Feeling the heavy pressure on my body, I grunted in pain. Seeing that the teacher released us from the pressure, she looked at me with a fierce gaze and asked.
"Didn't the doctor warn you to not use skills above E rank? Do you want to become totally crippled without being able to use mana forever?" She asked in a strenuous tone.
The students in the classroom grasped in surprise.
"What he can't use skill above E rank"
"Becoming a cripple"
"Serves him right."
"So that's why he didn't retort like before," Shreya said.
"Silence," the teacher said, looking at me, "go to the infirmary and check for any permanent injuries," saying that she took a potion and gave it to me.
After drinking the potion, I walked out of the class and went to the infirmary. 'As mentioned in the novel, she is stern and cares for students, but why did she have to mention my condition? Well, it will still spread my inability to use skills and damaged mana veins in joint training.

Getting out of the capsule that looked the same as in the academy hospital, I asked the nurse.
"Is there any problem in my mana veins?"
"No, but it might be different if you used your skill a bit more. You should be careful not to use a powerful skill. And besides, it is against the rules to use skills in class." She looked at me, her eyebrows furrowed.
"No, I didn't activate it intentionally. It's a passive skill that's hard to control. When I lose my cool, it automatically activates." Passive skills are skills that activate when they're triggered, and there is no rank showing for passive skills to know which level the passive skill is, but for a fact, I know that the passive skill Jadel has is quite powerful.
"... That might be a problem. So take classes to control your emotions or buy a skill that calms your mind. That's the best option you have. You can leave now."
Nodding my head, I left the infirmary.
'Fuck, if I can't control Jadel's emotion, it will lead to something worse.'
'The main characters absolutely hate me; if I mess with them, they will beat me to pulp without hesitation. Even my brother won't help me.' The chilling gazes I felt on me—one of them is my brother. Aiden Wayner, he is a main character too.
He's the son of the third wife. She was a maid before Drake married her. 'Well, Drake practically raped her and married her after knowing she was pregnant.'
Aiden has curly black hair and black eyes.
He is a kind, gentle, and friendly guy, and because he is the son of a maid, he doesn't have an arrogant young master personality.
Next to Aiden was the Marcus Vall Form Vall family, also known as the Incarnation's of Sword God, the 3rd strongest family. 'What a cringe name'
Marcus Vall has blue hair and blue eyes; although he is from a big family, he doesn't value the Vall family name. He is an ogler and a pervert, fawning over beautiful girls. And the main reason he is hostile towards me is because Jadel used some underhanded things on him when the test of battle happened.
'I didn't see him; did he not come today?'

Thinking about the main characters, I didn't notice I was standing in front of the classroom.
"Are you going to stand there?" Hearing the homeroom teacher's voice, I quickly entered the classroom and went to my seat.
Her name is Alia Aansheer, an S rank hunter. She is appointed by the academy to look after the students of the big six families. That's why all of them are together in this class room.
"Cadet Jadel Wayner," Ms. Alia called me.
"Yes"
"Since you were absent for these four weeks, everyone took their second rank assessment. Not only that, but because of your body condition, your rank dropped significantly. Your current rank is 1571.
Saying that she did something on her smartwatch. The rank shown on the uniform changed to 1571.
'dropped 1520 ranks, huh' I can feel all of their mocking gazes on me. ' They are enjoying it.' I looked at the left side, feeling satisfied gazes on me.
'Of course it's them, the main characters' I can see Shreya's evil smile on her face with a glint in her eyes. 'Fuck, she's going to bully me.' Only Alicia looked at me with pity, with sad and relieved eyes'.'She is really naive to feel sad for me, but seeing her relieved eyes, it hurts a little... Fuck you, Jadel.'
"Okay, students, let's go to the training area." Ms.Alia said
