Many of the female students felt their hearts throb upon seeing him. He wasn"t wearing anything too stylish as he wore the same uniform the male students wore. Except his diamond studs made him stand out a bit more than the males. But even without that, no one could deny that he was incredibly handsome.

He could be mistaken as a student; Nick figured that he was not much older than them.

He walked until he stood in the middle of the front row.

"As you may have guessed, or what you are wondering, I am your teacher for this year. You may call me Mr. h.e.l.lbane, or Darius. Even if we are the support division, I want you all to know that being a support EXO is much more harder than being an offensive or defensive EXO. You have to put in more work at tempering your EXO, and most support EXO"s have various paths they can go down. I know many of you think a year is a long time, however here it is extremely short.

This year, we"ll cover EXO essence control and EXO development. Depending on what type of support EXO you have, we will have to discuss what type of path you want to focus on. I"m sure as the year goes on, I"ll learn each of your charming personalities, but for now, I think it is best we start with a simple introduction."

The way he spoke was calm and collected, his words were not fast nor were they slow.

EXO essence is in every EXO user"s body; it is what allows them to use their skills. Some people have more than others, and that is what determines how long or how often you can use your EXO ability. If you have a superior EXO but low essence, you may only be able to use your ability once.

The more of it you have, the better off you"ll be in the long run. The thing about EXO essence is that when a person awakens their EXO, they also obtain a certain amount of essence as well. The earlier a person awakens their EXO they also have a longer time to collect more essence.

There are three ways you can increase your essence pool. One way is by meditating and slowly gathering the EXO essence that is in the world. Another is by exhausting all your essence in your body then gathering it up and exhausting it again. You repeat this over and over, and your essence pool will grow steadily. The last method is through various fights, it arouses the essence in your body to create more and allows you to make an even bigger essence pool for yourself.

As for EXO development that is similar to a game term called a skill tree. Although you and a friend may pick the same cla.s.s, you two may pick different skills from that cla.s.s. The further you develop it, the more unique your EXO becomes.

In the support division, there are five types of support EXO. Self-enhancement, Healing, Essence sense, then you have your variants of those three types which are categorized as their own type. Finally, you have the abnormal types such as Matthew"s gravity control, which is weak at a low rank but highly valuable at a high rank and able to do much more than just support.

Nick already knew he was categorized in Essence sense. He wondered how Darius was going to split the cla.s.s up and teach them all.

For just these two things they were going to cover in this one year may seem simple, but it was the very foundation for their future. If one didn"t lay down the proper foundation then as they grew stronger their power could become unstable limiting their growth.

As far as Nick was concerned, he already knew which direction he wanted to go down for his essence sense. Yet he was still curious as to what other things he would be able to do with his ability.

To be honest, the path he wanted to develop into was extremely difficult as it required high concentration all the time. It was also rare for someone to develop into this path as most people who had essence sense usually supported from the backlines entirely out of sight from any enemy.

Strangely enough, he was not the type do fight from behind.

There were reasons as to why he didn"t want to fight from behind. One is that he wanted to become a Special Forces agent. If he couldn"t become one, then his plans for the future would completely fail. Although becoming a Special Forces agent was hard for a Support type, it wasn"t impossible. One just had to have enough skill and stand out above the rest. Second reason went with the first; his primary goal was to pay for his mother"s surgery to allow her to recover the usage of her legs.

This was highly expensive and unless you were rich then it useless to even try. Special Forces agents were paid enough to afford the surgery, but even then it would be hard to collect enough money.

However, for him, it didn"t matter because he had a special agreement with his father. As long as he can become a special forces member, then he would take care of his mother"s surgery.

He and his father had a complicated relationship as his father did not live with him or his mother. The reason being that his mother was not his wife, she was not even his mistress. Things happened, and his parents had a one night stand and months later Nick was born.

His mother being who she is didn"t want him to find out about his child, but he ended up finding out anyways. Granted he figured that his mother could be smart and not go to the hospital his father owned when she gave birth, but it seemed that she still had a few feelings for the guy.

Even if his father was not in his life, he still knew who he was. When his mother was injured, and he asked his father to help Nick was instantly shut down.

Nick even said that he would show himself to his father"s wife. However, his wife already knew about his many scandals and rarely cared. Nick tried countless methods to get his father to agree. As his father seeing him trying so hard must have moved him, but just enough to give him specific conditions. Only if he did that, then he would pay for her surgery.

With that, he gave Nick a katana and told him good luck.

As for anything other than what he knew about his father, which wasn"t much. Nick was clueless about how powerful the guy was. But he did have his a.s.sumptions.

Everyone introduced themselves to the cla.s.s. There were around two hundred people in this cla.s.sroom.

Nick did not bother to remember everyone in the cla.s.sroom. It was the first day, and he was sure not to be able to put names to faces the next time he met some of them. The only ones he would surely remember was Matthew and Freya.

Speaking of Matthew, it seemed that Freya was not the only one to take note of the four freshman royalty. Many of his cla.s.smates thought he would be in one of the other divisions as well, and some even asked him who would win if he fought Scarlet.

Scarlet was the only person they could compare him to since she was the only other known freshman royal. Once the other two were found out, they were bound to be a heated discussion for the students.

Everyone liked to compare strength. Naturally, they were no exception, and none of the freshmen could wait to see what would happen.

"I know today is the first day and many of you are eager to get out and check out the campus. Therefore I will not keep you much longer as I would like to explain what we will go over tomorrow.

Tomorrow we will get into the many ways to gather EXO essence. Many people have different methods. However, I will show you all the most efficient way. We"ll get more into it tomorrow, but it will allow you up to three times the effect compared to ordinary means.

With that being said, There are also two more things we must get out of the way right now. We need to set up the cla.s.s president and vice president; they will represent our cla.s.s for the year. This will take place next week. Although it is far away in the future, there is a freshman compet.i.tion that you should all prepare for. That is six months away, but it is always best to prepare early on.

That is all; cla.s.s dismissed for today."
