Next morning, I woke up with a really relaxed mind as I felt the warm sunshine hitting my face. My eyes turned at the apartment in which I was staying. It had a really cool and calm vibe, much better than the hotels available outside.

Last night, I collected information about everyone in my class, my teachers and also about the Damned Ones and their current situation. It took some time to find each and every detail, but I guess I was more or less prepared to filter the people out into which I need to use and which to manipulate. Luckily I found a few that I could help to get stronger.

For this week, I was focusing on getting along with everyone. Hopefully, I won’t encounter any unnecessary trouble…

"Don’t wanna kill a classmate in the first week or something… won’t be funny," I thought as I chuckled before moving out of my bed and began dressing up for the class.

From the dorm to the classes, normally I could just use my skills to reach there within 5 minutes, but I preferred walking slowly to my class in about half an hour. I keep my mind busy meanwhile as I think about things I need to do in the present and in the future.

30 minutes later, I walked into the class and Gloria and Variel turned at me with another new face sitting next to the place where I was sitting.

"Hey, come here. How was your work at night?" Gloria asked with a smile on her face and I smiled before speaking,"a few things came up in between, but it was all great." She smiled back, and I moved towards my seat, which was behind hers.

I sat on my seat and looked at Variel on my right and pointed to the guy on my left as I asked,"what is Rheo doing on my left? Wasn’t he sitting in the front seat of the first row yesterday?"

Variel looked at Rheo and said,"the guy who was sitting here previously was in the group of Paul and the others, and now he doesn’t want to sit next to you. And since Rheo was easy to bully, he took over Rheo’s seat."

I smiled at Rheo and said,"It’s a bit forceful, but I guess, welcome to the group."

Rheo observed me with a dumbfounded face, and so did Gloria and Variel. Gloria put her hands on my forehead and looked at me carefully before asking,"you aren’t sick, are you?"

I turned at her with a confused expression and asked,"not really why?"

"You just… are too normal right now… it’s creeping me out for some reason, even though it shouldn’t," she said with her face making a weirded out expression and I ignored her as I spoke to Rheo,"do you mind if I ask you what your specialty is? You look really shy and weak for someone who has that many cuts on his hands."

As I pointed that out, he tried hiding his hands under his sleeves. Variel and Gloria began looking at his hands and with Gloria moving and pulling his hand towards her, bringing out the innumerable cuts on his hands in the open.

Looking at those cuts, both Gloria and Variel were shocked as they took a second look at Rheo and said,"dude… just what kind of… thing you went through?"

Rheo turned a bit low and spoke in a low voice,"it is nothing. I probably should go sit in some other place-" I caught his hands and spoke,"oh, please. You are already here and everyone else doesn’t seem to be accepting you yet. In fact, even if you end up getting along with them, they would most likely use you for their own gains."

He just stood there for a few moments before looking deep into my eyes and speaking,"and how are you different from them? Aren’t you three going to use me as well? Don’t think I would fall into your trap with your sugar laced words." He tried getting his hand free from my grip but I applied more force to it and spoke with a slightly cold voice,"oh come on now. Don’t say that… I insist you to sit with us, chat with us… maybe you know? We can help each other out?"

Gloria and Variel gulped a little as they looked at me, while Rheo just was trying to free himself and after applying a massive amount of strength… he failed. Well… it wasn’t that he was really applying his full strength. He was just under my magic, thinking that he was applying his full strength.

After looking at the fact that despite using his full strength, he was unable to move even an inch… he looked at me with a deep analysing gaze. He observed me for a few seconds without any words and the three of us just observed him before he spoke,"what do you want from me?" "Sit with us, chat with us… maybe you know? We can help each other out…?" I repeated myself with a really warm smile that sent chills down his spine before he sat without speaking even a single word.

"Who are you?" He muttered in a low voice as he saw the Professor coming into the class and I spoke in a really calm voice as,"Aidan Williamson. Everything else is classified. Hope that clarifies everything."

Rheo Sherman, one of the Dark Skill Arts User, his family specialises in multiple Dark Magic and its related aspects. His family isn’t that high in the hierarchy as there are about a dozen families who specialise in Dark Magic, in fact if there were a grading of families according to their influence using the Dark Arts, they would be an A-Grade family, with the 13 Families at S Grade.

Also, it would be better to mention that there are at least 50 to 60 A-Grade families who specialise in Dark Arts, in the entire world.

Though Rheo was special... Because he was one of the 12 Dark Arts Users, who specialised in Weapon Manipulating Magic… with his specialty being Blade Manipulation.
