The , it felt like ay since she was st here. Even if it was just a day ago or so.

  So many things happened since her st css after all.

  She fourue powered skill, she found a good Magical Girl outfit.

  And more importantly, she found out the tier she was expected to have was...higher than she wished for.

  So now she sat in the , w what to do about that.

  W what to do, since being a background character wasn't on the list anymore.

  That ruined most of her pns to ze around during school, so should she aim for a top scain?

  It was a good way to keep the aloof persona and to use her "Study hours" to sleep in the private rooms in the library.

  But perhaps they wouldn't give those rooms...

  She got access to meditation rooms on the magical side though...

  Maybe they could get a few of those on the powered side too?

  "Greeting students" came a voice she didn't reize as the crazed old man.

  It was...A gentleman? He couldn't be described in any other way than that. He was dressed in a cssic suit from the old British empire. Oailored from high-quality materials even. It was well-ironed sihe crease was well-defined and straight as possible. She wondered how was he walking around without messing that. And perhaps she could ask for advi that since she somedays struggled with the creases on her clothing. Still, she was w more about how that unassuming man had mao infiltrate so deep into the school. Perhaps he was aeacher? She didn't feel anything from him, uh the crazy old man that she could feel some kind of pressure. "My name is...not relevant since almost none of you are paying attention I guess." Said this man nontly. How... Odd... "But I'm here to tell you that in your tier assig..." And at this point, this mysterious unnamed man made a dramatic stop. By now most of the other students had taken notice of this man too, so that pause served its purpose. "You failed the first semester. Most of you anyway." And so the whole css made a ruckus. At this point, the blonde girl was now wary of this unknown man. "WHAT?!?" came the voice of Akira the sed stro in this css. "Why?" and soon enough the cold silent rage from Rena the red-haired girl that was currently the stro. That man didn't even look bothered. Even though both students were radiating undiluted bloodlust. He just stood there and dusted his shoulders like he had some dirt on them. "Easy enough, as an example we will use one of the feassed that evaluatio me think..." Oh... The blonde girl could almost feel how it would g. The tropes her mother liked to talk about had taught her about the dao e in this type of situation. So she started to edge herself down in her seat like she wao piething that had rolled below her seat... No such luck though. "Yes, that will work." Said the unknown man, "Tell me, what is the [Skill] Miss Starbright used on her evaluation" and so this suited man poi Elizabeth. "Anything will do, if you we will pass you." And so he finished with a smirk. For their part, both pairs of problematic students gred at her. "She is a self-strengthening user." Came the answer of Akira with a smirk like it was nothing. "...No... The wounds on the dummy don't correte with self-strength, si had gashes and pierg wounds...So a curse user." Came the answer of Rena. What? Curse are magical users though... "Wrong in both, she hid her powerset. Even though I'm sure that her father told her the same crap every one of you got told at some point." Said the unknown man "That it ointless' to try and hide her power... Probably was her mother the ohat told her to hide it or something." ht, why did she try to hide her power? It came as an instinct...Maybe it was for her magical side? "You see...Not everyone in this css will be heroes, and not all will be viliher... So unless you are very sure about your panions... Even if your power is easy to identify. Try to hide it" said the unknown man "Information is the key to your survival after all" And now she was getting pissed at this man. He didn't even introduce himself. "Who are you to Judge us anyway?" Said the red-haired girl, she also was getting angry at him. "Well... I did try to introduce myself, but very few of you took notie... Even though I came and stood here for a few mirying to grab your attention" Said with a smirk the man. He did? Not that it mattered to her, she would shut him up soon enough by saying his name loud and clear! [Identify]! Status

  "NOT AGAIN SDASDFASDFASF!" was all she could scream while on reflex she ahe shadow uhe rash to throw said trash in her dire.

  She didn't care about keeping appeara this point.

  She only cared for two things, first to close that goddammed window before her brain turned into mush.

  And sed, to empty her stomato said trash when she caught it with her hand.

  She didn't pay attention to her cohorts who were w what had happeo her.

  Nor why she uking into the trash .

  Nor she cared about the worried gnces her way about her g a few droplets of blood...

  Nor about the few millimeters of blood that were existing right now from her nose.

  "Tell me, was that something a curse user or a self-strength user could do with their [Skills]?" poihe unknown man in her general dire.

  Well, not unknown... She kinda got a of that mess...

  A name her father would mumble from time to time wheumbled into the er of a table for some reason...

  "Stupid Arthur." Said the blonde girl while wiping her mouth of puke and blood.

  "Hah! Like father, like...Daughter. I guess!" bloomed with ughter the suited man.

  "Now, as Miss Starbright quite aptly said. My name is Arthur, the st name...You don't . And I will teach you the most important thing in your whole life. rust what you 't verify... " And then he poio the whiteboard.

  The whiteboard didn't have anything written before.

  And now had his name on it. How...?

  "And also, always be ready for [Skill Backssh] if you try to chew something more dangerous than you. You end with some nasty backssh like Miss Starbright." Yeah sure, stupid i skills.

  ... [Analyze] the skill...?

  Cyber Sleuth Security:Infosec Skill specializes in obstrug access to [The Root] and gives appropriate backssh depending oype of skill used. The user rotected from the more serious backssh since she was whitelisted by the owner of the skill.

  Message Left to the user: DO NOT TRY It again girly, no sed ces.

  he user is advised tain when she has a better standing her information allocation.

  ....Why did I brace myself. All of them are the same.

  She was going to kill that man one of these days.

  At least she got a peek at his stats, not that she was keen on looking at them, the distortion was more heavy there. She felt like they would be somewhat visible...

  But the ominous message left her with dread at a sed attempt.

  "So tell me, css... What kind of [Skill] would allow Miss Starbright to leave that kind of gashes and allow her to try to gather info at the same time?" said the suited man to the css...Of course, he was only looking at Akira & Rena.

  "...Not a self-strengthing one?" answered the bck-haired kid.

  "...Not a curse one..." And also answered Rena.

  "So... That means that Miss Starbright is...?" enced Arthur, the man that was enduring the hate-filled gre of Elizabeth.

  "...I dunno..." reted Akira in the end, the coward.

  "She has offensive and info-gathering skills, but the nature of them and range is unknown." Resumed Rena instead of Akira.

  To this Arthur couldn't help but smile "Exactly!" and appud her efforts "You still failed the first test, but you learned!" and again twisted the knife in the wound.

  "She is among the very few of this css whose skills are unknown, so when you all go and prepare your different outfits... No one in this css will be sure whie is her. If she even chooses to go to said csses." Said the suited man.

  Right, she would o use one of those body suits her father had sent.

  "Of course you will not be in the same css when using your skills, s to look for the oh different power is meaningless!" And in that he suited man carried on pointing again to the whiteboard.

  Now there was a few extra lines written in there.

  How was he doing that?

  "So, what css is supposed to be this one?" Said the blonde girl who finally had her stoma order, "The 'Let's bully the students' one?" finished saying the blonde girl while ing the tears of blood on her face with a handkerchief for dramatic effect.

  "Of course not!" Answered the suited man "This is ethi powers, and why using your skills willy nilly is a bad idea" finished with a smirk.

  Yeah, she uood why someone might murder that man one day.

  "One day, someone will murder you," said the blonde girl.

  "They have tried plenty of times, your father included." And she would help his father keep trying the ime she saw him.

  Even if it was an effective way of proving a point about abusing skills. Even if he softehe blow from the backssh.

  "There you have it, remember that among your cohorts some will be Vilins, some will be Heroes. And some might end as normal civilians." And he poi random to some students.

  For heroes, he poio Akira who looked smug about being used as an example.

  For vilins he poio a dark and broody girl in the background, she was wearing a hoody with a knight theme... And a shirt with [Shadow Pact] on it... She would try to be her friend, ahat was a [Shadow Pact] fan was a good person in her books!

  And for civilians, he poi her. Of course, she just smirked at him.

  As if she could keep her pn going after getting a C-Tier as a minimum grade after finishing her education.

  Like hell the world would let her do her thing with that danger rating.

  But she would try heless...

  Maybe if she couldn't get it as a normal person she could climb high and make herself a lofty and fy spot at the top.

  And maybe, just maybe...She could smite an annoying man named Arthur from the top...

  That was just enough to get a girl a smile on her face.

  "But if they are attempting to be civilians, why e to the school?" Said Akira while smugly looking at her.

  Rude.

  "Because my boy, they still o learn how to trol their skills. Or else if a dangerous thing is used by act..." Said Arthur while throwing a pen into the air.

  "Bad stuff happen." And when said pen hit the desk...

  It just...Broke.

  She couldn't even uand how it happened, but the desk imploded in itself and it just became a mess of mangled wood.

  Somehow all the damage was self-tained in the immediate area of the desk though.

  "And this kind of bad stuff if it happens enough or wounds enough people, it's the kind of thing that get you fgged as a 'Person of I'... Or as a Vilin, like you young folks like to call." That... Maybe she should let Father be the first to go at that man.

  After Father eats whatever skill he has, she have her turn.

  Yes, that seems like a good idea.
