Doll

VanKcrow was currently sitting on a chair inside his room,the room didn't look cheap but not expensive either,It was mostly grey in color,there was a large bed,a sofa with the logo of the famous brand Deliciae,a brand that was quite popular amongst young girls,there were two chairs,a small table and a fridge in the room, VanKcrow had previously seen a Couple of snacks when he opened the fridge,these ones being quite different from anything there was back on earth.

There was also a stovetop,this wasn't common for students to have, VanKcrow placed one in his room because he preferred to eat food that he himself made, VanKcrow was quite a bit germaphobic,he usually never ate from used cutleries, always wore gloves and avoided dirt.

VanKcrow was currently studying the language of "Ars Legion",He was now almost done reading the first scripture of Argent,After a while, VanKcrow got up and went to Wash his hands, afterwards,He started preparing his meal of the evening.

VanKcrow was focused on making a dish high in carnetine, carnetine helps preserve muscle glycogen and promote fat oxidation,it also spares the use of amino acids as energy source during exercise, making them potentially available for new protein synthesis, another function is to decrease the accumulation of lactate.

Carnetine could be found mainly in red meat, VanKcrow was currently preparing a dish with the meat of a sort of cow like animal.

Changeling had to be very careful with their diet as it directly affects their power, eating a bad diet that negatively impacts the androgen receptor status can severely decrease the combat capacity of a changeling.

They also had to constantly train their bodies to remain in good physical shape.

Humans of this world are very similar to those of Earth, digestive system included.

The only major differences being that they could absorb all the nutrients from foods they ate and didn't need bacteria to help with the process.

This was because of a blessing given to them a long time ago by the God of Survival, Persist.

Back in the year 10456,a certain parasitical being infested the bacterias which help living beings to survive, humanity was almost extinct,they only survived because of the interference of Persist.

Persist brought the sacred trees as gifts for humanity,these trees had fruits that became the only reason humans didn't die in Masses.

After VanKcrow ate dinner, he took a cold shower and then went to sleep.

...

It was now morning,this would be his first day of attending classes, VanKcrow was currently dressed in a long white robe,he had a long and somewhat thin wrap around both his hands and forearms which looked similar to long white gloves,in all his fingers,parts of a leather glove were present,all together,it sort of looked as if he was wearing black and white gloves.

VanKcrow was wearing an extremely dark colored pants and the black scarf from before was wrapped around his waist,a laceless oxford style boot equal to the one Sephyr wore except quite a bit longer was found in both his feet.

VanKcrow had pretty long feet and hands,his ring finger was longer than his index finger and his browrigde was quite pronounced, all this was likely partly due to being exposed to alot of testosterone during puberty,due to this he also had a very high ape index,ape index is how long someone's arms are in comparison to their height, VanKcrow had a reach of 193cm despite being 172cm,this gave him a large advantage in certain situations because he could have the reach of a very tall man without the drawbacks of being tall such as less balance,his ape index was a large factor in helping him beat the mad monk who was quite a bit bigger than him, because of his long arms,he had enough reach to not be put in severe disadvantage when fighting much taller and bigger opponents and also had more room to put on muscle which would help with strength,all this would be not that important for fated,but for changeling,their natural physical structure plays a large part in their fighting capacities,with Vankcrow's long arms,he would be able to mitigate the reach,power and strength disadvantage he would be in when fighting strong Changeling who are usually quite physically large,paired up with the fact that he would have better speed and endurance,his unarmed combat potential was quite decent at least and his sword fighting potential was very good since sword fights depended much less on strength and power but still demand a long reach to increase the chances of victory.

'This body is remarkably similar to the one I had back on Earth...'

Before,when Vankcrow first arrived into this world,he hadn't even realized that he wasn't in his original body.

The main difference between this body and his previous one would be symmetry,this body was practically perfectly symmetric which is incredibly rare,like an robot or a carefully constructed statue or something.

The scars he had before were also not present in this body.

Vankcrow suspected that whoever made this body,did it with the purpose of creating an assassin.

Otherwise why would they give it practically perfect features for combat but make it be only 172 cm?

If the purpose was to create an assassin, things would make sense since being tall and big wouldn't really help with stealthily infiltrating places and performing long assassination missions...

That is of course assuming that this body was indeed created through unnatural means instead of normal offspring creation,the strange symmetry,the scarecrow bloodline and the fact that he was in a capsule made him think that he was maybe in the body of a homunculus or something,but if that was the case,why would the status screen show that his race was human?

After preparing everything he would need at the classroom, VanKcrow left the room and walked down the hall.

...

A Tall man with a slightly muscular physique was sitting before a table,in front of him, countless papers were scattered throughout the table,the man was dressed up in a suit,had very dark hair and was wearing a white mask, although one couldn't see his actual face,one could still see the very robust structure that hid behind the mask,the mask perfectly fit into his face, making it so that the shape of his eyes,nose and lips could be clearly seen.

He looked almost like a Doll.

After a while spent completely still without letting out a single breath, Brahms,or Bhrams according to the principal who could not pronounce his name properly, heard a knock at the door and slowly turned his head towards it,a few seconds later,he got up in a somewhat robotic manner and slowly walked towards the door.

...

VanKcrow had just knocked at the door of the classroom,he was quite a bit early to avoid walking down the halls when they would be filled with students, VanKcrow didn't like crowds.

After waiting for a while,the door opened and he could now see a tall man with a white mask on his face,upon seeing him, VanKcrow could see why the principal had told him not to be spooked, although VanKcrow didn't really care about the odd looking teacher,The only thing that matters to him is The teacher's teaching capacity.

VanKcrow and the teacher stood silent for a while and then Brahms walked back to his table right after pointing towards a chair by the window.

VanKcrow proceeded to sit at the chair and waited for about 30 minutes before students started coming into the classroom.

One thing that he noticed,was how downcast the students seemed to be,one especially, looked completely depressed,it was a frail looking boy who was dressed shabbily.

Upon seeing him, VanKcrow felt something resonating deep into his bloodline, although he himself didn't know what was happening.

He just felt a strange connection with the boy who proceeded to sit right next to him.

Another person that grabbed his attention,was a dark skinned girl with white hair and amber eyes.

Unlike the rest,she didn't seem downcast but instead pissed off.

Some of the students looked at him for a while,but none of them struck up a conversation.

After a while, Professor Brahms got up and went near a board.

In a strangely calm and relaxing voice he spoke,

"Today marks 11 months since the start of the semester,one month from now,you will all completely form your origin and be able to cast Spells,use authorities, the curse and release your inheritances,once you do,you will become Heroes and be allowed to enter the Abnormal zones.

Therefore,for the next month,you will all undergo a strict training program to prepare you for the hardships of abnormal zones.

The training program will be held together with the other classes."

After Brahms finished speaking,a few disgruntled expressions could be seen throughout the classroom.

"The program will be held in miss Angelica's soul Mundus,you Will all be training in how to battle against other fated with spells and if you're a changeling,how to deal with spells by using your physical prowess.

The reverse is also true,fated will learn how to overcome their physical inferiority in combat by using their spells, the curse,inheritances and authorities.

Battles against other changeling will happen as well.

And lastly,all of you will learn how to fight against beasts and monsters."

"With that said, today,We will be reviewing all the fate spells, authorities,the Black rest curse and your individual inheritances if you were appraised ."

As Brahms was speaking, VanKcrow was wondering about the principal's soul Mundus.

It was a very unique one in a sense that it was humongous and could also host the souls of others.

Because of this,the Akademie was very influential and even The Factions would send their prodigents to the academy,this was because The prodigents would be able to enter her soul Mundus and go to certain trials that would increase their Proficiency in using spells, authorities and inheritances before they completely formed their origin.

Origin is what allows fated and changeling to harvest Animae,cast Spells, use authorities and inheritances if one was fated or activate their battle form if one was a changeling.

Origin would fully form about an year after the Fated or changeling went through Sacrum Ritus.

Sacrum Ritus is the ritual that turns someone into a fated or Changeling.

During that year which their origin hasn't formed fully, prodigents can't use their abilities.

So instead of just wasting time,they come to the Akademie to undergo the trials made by the principal and increase their battle proficiency.

"Fated can cast 8 different spells,those being,Ziehen which can pull someone towards you,Bewegen which can pull yourself towards someone,Stehlen which can steal the thought capacity of someone else,Handel which can trade your wounds with someone else,Schalten which can switch your identity with someone else in the minds of others,Iahmen which has the effect of paralization,Duell which can make it so that only you can fight someone else and only they can fight you for a certain period of time,and finally,Zurucksetsen which can revert your body to the state it was at the start of a specific battle."

"The Authorities are, light of judgement which can temporarily destroy conscience,Sage Instinct which creates a sort of "will" that can fight in your stead,it will have the same combat proficiency as you do,

Sin of Knowledge which gives forbidden knowledge to someone,Rest which puts either you or someone else to sleep temporarily, during this time,the only action that can be taken against either you or them is the Black rest Curse."

"Finally,the Black rest curse is an onmious power that can consume someone's soul if they are asleep."

"Now you might wonder why I'm telling you this yet again,but it is imperative to understand how to use each spell, authority and the curse to achieve victory in battles and get out of tough situations..."

Brahms proceeded to give a long lecture on how to use each spell, authority and the Black rest curse, VanKcrow listened attentively to better learn to fight as a fated,he had considerably less time than most to do that.

After the class was over,They all went to a large plaza,there, countless other students and their teachers were waiting to be transported to the Principal's Soul Mundus.
