Bored Gamer in Other World

It was a ninja outfit only the upper clans can afford. Tom was about to return his attention to his teacher but abruptly stopped. His head suspended in mid turn and two seconds passed by before he regained his composure. He found out that he could not remember the face of the boy.

He noticed his classmates also glanced at the boy and paid no attention to him after a second. Tom moved to see the boy's appearance once more and saw that his object of scrutiny was also looking at him. The boy smiled and mouthed the words,

"Hello, cat." Tom was then transported into a world of white.

No matter where he turned his head or blinked his eyes, he could see nothing but the emptiness of gray. He was about to ask Alena for help but was stopped by a stern voice.

"Enough!" Jaxon Hunter said in a loud voice that made Tom came back to the real world. He surveyed his surrounding and found real quick that droplets of water were encasing him. He should be wet but surprisingly he was not. His classmates' eyes were glued at him after the sudden turn of events.

"Do not think that your clan's name brings weight to an outcast like you." Jaxon Hunter said to the in the back.

"Hmmph." The boy did not retort with words but returned the teacher's stare unflinchingly. The droplets of water disappeared from the body of Tom. His classmates were curious and wanted to ask Tom about the incident. Cody was about to open his mouth but was halted by the voice of their teacher as he resumed their first lesson.

"Fire has the strongest offense. Water embodies change and adaptability. Earth has the mightiest of defenses. Air specializes in speed. Nature embraces everything, it aids and heals.

Light dictates what is real or not. Darkness, as the most mysterious of all, aims to return creation to its origin." Jaxon Hunter continued his lecture as if nothing had happened before. The previous commotion was put aside and forgotten.

"Open your identification card and choose your elements. You can choose all 7 if you want to. Just be sure to be proficient enough in one because tomorrow we will have our first test. Do not be late because I will not accept late attendees. Go." Jaxon Hunter left instructions to the class.

He was about to go out but paused a moment to look once more to the back of the room. He stood there for three breaths before he finally went to exit the place.

"What was that about, Tom?" Cody could barely contain his wonder at what had transpired earlier.

"Nothing, Cody. See you around." Tom answered Cody as he went to go back to his personal room. He did not feel comfortable staying here and hated the feeling of helplessness facing that boy.

"But... Okay." Cody clearly has something more to say but Tom was already walking away and never looked back even once. All he could see was Tom's receding figure.

"Eternal oblivion!" Tom cursed as he punched the wall in his room. He did not hold back on the punch which gave him the expected result. His hand was broken. But he neither showed pain or concern about his injury. All he felt was hate.

Tom could not accept that he had run away in defeat. It was a shame on his part. Something he would have to erase. Something that he must return in many folds.

"Wise judgment is not disgrace." Tom muttered to himself as he reconciled with his action. Being weak is not shameful, choosing to stay weak is. He will have to rise above all soon. Even that boy would be mere ant before him.

"Scan this card, Alena." Tom instructed to Alena.

"Affirmative, Sovereign Immovable. This metal is made out of riva. The identification card contains the spell matrix on how to control the 7 elements. Within it is also a soul binding technique that prohibits one from revealing its contents to anyone or anything." Alena reported to Tom.

So that was why his clan could only train his body and did not impart techniques. It was not that they didn't but couldn't.

"Could you break through the soul binding technique, Alena?" Tom asked the system. He wanted to know because it would be very beneficial to his future plans. If he could have an army of ninjas for his personal use, then…

Plans were formulating on his mind. Analyzed and deleted to select the most optimal outcome. He could not find an end to its advantages. Tom smiled.

"Affirmative, Sovereign Immovable." Alena answered Tom.

"Splendid! How much?" Tom asked because he knows the system's services always has a price.

"600,000 shop points, Sovereign Immovable." Alena said to Tom.

"I knew it." Tom signed as he was put down from his frenzied anticipation. The school was so secretive about their techniques. It was normal for them to put high sealing techniques to achieve that aim. He accessed his identification card and he found that there was an additional data on it.

This information was all about the elements and how to activate its spell matrix. Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Nature, Light, Darkness. He read each description until he concentrated on a particular element. The darkness element.

He was a dark mage in the past and knew how complex the field was. He tried opening the spell matrix for it. Intricate incantations of incomprehensible words were pounded directly on Tom's head. His ears were bleeding but he endured through the pain. He cradled his head in agony as he tumbled towards the bed.

"Let creation return to its primal form. It is in emptiness we find what we truly are." An audible voice finally was understood by Tom in the final moments of his excruciating initiation.

"Eternal oblivion!" Tom swore as he got up from the bed. His clothes were bloodied. Even some blood got on the mattress.
