"What are you talking about dumbass Fayazu! It wasn't that we are a non-combatant clan. Rather, none of us can fight against the other clan," out of a sudden, Fatsu interjected while licking his fingers to taste up the last bits of leftover sticking on his fingers from the sticky food he was eating a while ago.

"Well, isn't it the same?"

"Erhm, nevermind…" Fatsu said with a sign of resignation towards the topic. Then he made a long regrettable sigh and remarks. "Haah, if only we were under the wings of the big clans, it would be much easier for us. Well, see y'all later, I gotta do my job before the leader arrives!" He said uninterestedly then shrugged his shoulders, sighing again, then turned his back towards them while waving his hand.

"Don't mind him, Deputy," Said Fayazu without stopping his working hands.

He nodded at him. However, he was a little interested in Fatsu's words. If he comprehended it correctly, he probably meant that the only reason they were known as a non-combatant clan was that they had no power to fight against the other clan. So it also meant that they were non-combatant because the members were weak and not because the clan was registered as a non-combatant.

Hmm. 

He asked more questions regarding the clan and points, and how joining the clan could affect their study and he also asked about Fatsu's words of being under the big clan's wings. In response to him, Fayazu told him all that he knew.

"I see… so it was like that." He said after hearing Fayazu's explanation. "A competition of power huh…" he mumbled.

Although Fayazu told him all that he knew, he felt the need to ask Herro as well.

Not long after Fatsu left the room that the chocolate-skinned man named Paula, together with Herro, entered the barracks. 

His real name was supposed to be Paul but. Unlike Fatsu, Fayazu, and him, it was Paula's doing that he called himself with that name. He chose to be called by it without anyone harassing him.

"Oh, my, goodmorning, Deputy, dear!" Said Paula with a flying kiss upon seeing him in the room.

"..."

He felt a chill running down his spine from Paula's greetings. Herro chuckled and greeted as well. "Goodmorning, Eman bro, and you too Faye."

He wondered who Faye was, but he noticed Herro's gaze was on Fayazu. So it must be his real name.

That morning, He had to ask many things that he was puzzled about. But he was avoiding being excessive in his questions so as not to annoy them. Thankfully, everyone understood his situation. Not only do they satisfy his confusion and curiosity towards the clan and academy, but they also taught him his usual morning chores.

After that morning, he went to the classroom to learn basic knowledge about this world.

All of his classmates were all men. Their teacher was a middle-aged man. He teaches mathematics. Then followed by a woman in her 30's who orally taught them about magical aura or magical energy. The third subject was practical knowledge regarding the control of magical energy or aura.

They went to the open fields as they could not do it inside the classroom. There would be a high possibility that the classroom would get blasted when they failed to control their magical power.

But before that, everyone seemed to notice something unusual. They all glanced at him. And their eyes were telling him that he didn't belong here. Even Fayazu was wondering why he came with them to the open area. Though not all of them were like that, at the corner of his eyes, he saw a familiar figure. It was one of the members of the Redwing clan. The person looked away when he met his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, it was the person who was supposed to do a sneak attack on him while wielding a sword covered with fire. Yeah, it was him.

Before that person looked away, he noticed the person trembled in fright after their eyes met. He probably remembered the torture. It was already commendable that he didn't run away this time.

Well, as long as he won't make a problem for him, he will let him be. But if he made a move that he disliked, he would torture him again.

In this section, only that person knew that he could manifest a magical aura. There were a total of 10 sections for the sophomores. And the section they were in, was the section for the least talented students.

On the other hand, Herro and the others were in different sections. It also means that they have a better magical aura compared to Fayazu who was in the last section together with him.

Meanwhile, everyone had a dubious face as they stared at him. Seeing their faces like that, it was easy to guess that it was unusual to see him with.

Good grief. He too wanted to know about this world's magic energy. For him though, it was called soul energy. Perhaps, they were the same. And he also wanted to know how to channel their magical energy to create elemental magic. Or maybe it was dependent on each individual? In the first place, he had no idea about it.

"Deputy, sir, are you perhaps interested in learning how to invoke magic?" Suddenly asked Fayazu.

"Well, isn't it only natu—-" He stopped for a moment when he realized that he was a different person now. "Ahem!" He cleared his throat to hide his last words. Then opened his mouth once again. "I mean, I awakened lately…" 

"Eh?!"

His voice wasn't so loud, but it seemed like everyone around heard him clear. They all yelped in surprise while commenting.

"Is it for real?"

"What? He awakened?!"

"Hey! Did I hear it the same way? That guy awakened his magical energy?"

"No doubt that is what he said."

Hearing their remarks it was easy to comprehend that all of them were shocked to hear it. What the heck! It wasn't like he was excluded by good grace. What was the problem with these people? He couldn't help asking himself.

"Uhm, Deputy, sir, is true?"

His clan mate Fayazu also asked with a face similar to others.

"Well, yeah…" he said while brushing the back of his head. 

"Oh, is that so…" suddenly, someone interjected. They glanced and saw an elderly man walking towards them. It was their instructor, Instructor Stuwart, for this practical lesson regarding magical energy.

He glanced and nodded slightly.

"Then, can you show it to us?" Said the instructor. He probably meant that he had to summon energy onto his hand for everyone to see.

He nodded again.

Now everyone's eyes were on him. They were staring at him with different expressions. Some were showing expressions that expected him to fail. Some were gazing in full curiosity. There were also those who had their eyes focused on his hands, waiting for him to summon magical energy. Fayatzu belonged to the last category.

Right now, he's surrounded. In which, only he and the instructor are in the middle of the crowd.

"Okay, start…" urged Instructor Stuwart.

Without wasting time, an aura with color that seemed like a mixture of red and orange were oozing on his hand, together with gushing sounds.

WOOAAAHHH!!!

"I-It was real!"

"He truly awakened!"

Some people still couldn't believe what their eyes were seeing at the moment. But no matter how they closed and opened their eyes, or rubbed it repeatedly, the situation in front of them never changed.

"Woah! D-Deputy sir! Y-you really awakened!" Fayazu stuttered in great surprise.

While everyone was in a huge surprise, Instructor Stuwart was unusually silent.

Eman noticed a frown on his face and narrowed his eyes. He wondered if it wasn't the magical energy he expected. 

"Uhm, Instructor sir? Is there a problem?" He asked. 

Just then, everyone fell silent and waited for the instructor to say something.

"Hmm… that magical energy… I have never seen such kind of magical energy before."

"Eh?!"

Eman gawked when he heard it.

"Right, look at his magical energy. It has a different color." Someone among the crowd pointed out.

"Hmm… now that you said that."

Then noise becomes noisier, saying how unusual his magical energy was.

After the crowd pointed out the oddness of his magical aura color, he realized something as well. Now that he thinks about it. He had never seen someone who had the same color as his magical aura.

But then again, maybe it was because he was different from everyone. And besides, the system even mentioned it as soul energy and not magical energy.

"Right, right, it is supposed to be white, green, blue, yellow, purple, and golden."

"And depending on the color of the person's magical energy the power he/she possesses. Also, there has been nothing recorded that a person has red or orange magical energy!"

"Uhm, Instructor Stuwart sir! So what is the meaning of this?" Fayatzu asked.

Eman remained silent as he was waiting for the instructor's reply.
