God´s Eyes

Because Jason didn't have a soulbond he could ride, he had to order a shuttle.

There were two different kinds of lanes inside Juro-City and Cyro-City, Jason saw.

One kind was used by mana-operated vehicles like cars, trucks, motorcycles and they had a strict speed limit inside the city, while the other line was used by soulbonds as a means of transportation, even flying beasts could be used inside these lanes.

These beast lanes didn't have a speed limit because beasts had faster reflexes and could avoid each other much easier and so on and the width of the lanes was much larger than the one of the mechanical vehicle lanes.

While Greg could ride on Taurus, Malia mounted her Nightmare-horse and their speed was extremely fast on their leveled surrounding.

Most people inside higher graded cities would use their soulbonds as a means of transportation and it was much faster than riding a shuttle.

However, Jason didn't have the pleasure to ride a soulbond yet, and he had to be satisfied with a simple shuttle.

The drive took more than 45 minutes until Jason stood in front of a gigantic fenced yard with a size of hundreds or maybe thousands of soccer fields.

In the middle of the whole plot was a gigantic modern battleground arena with a height of more than 40 meters including 6 floors which was probably used for the students to fight against each other without getting obstructed.

Each grade had around 15.000 students and each year would have a compound building for themselves.

Jason couldn't imagine being in the same year with 15.000 students being teached at the same time and apparently, he was wrong.

When Jason entered the school grounds he had to verify his Identification.

After that, he got notified which class he was in

[Year-1 Class 75 Rank:225]

Jason concluded that the new students were divided into 75 classes with around 200+- students and he thought that the classes were probably ranked after their strength but he could also be wrong with his assumption.

That meant Jason was probably the weakest while more than 15.000 students were stronger than him.

Rather than being scared, Jason felt more motivated after coming to his conclusion.

The world was vast and Jason was the weakest at the moment!

Wasn´t it exciting? He was overwhelmed by the amount of pressure he gave himself.

Jason walked in the direction of his building with the help of the GPS while thinking about his future.

He entered the building and only a few minutes were left before it was time for the first lesson to start.

Right at 8:00 he entered his classroom that looked completely different compared to the middle school classes.

Initially, Jason thought he would be in a common classroom like he was in middle school but Jason saw that the classroom was layered with many metallic shimmering tables and holographic screens of the newest technology inside them.

This was how Jason thought university auditoriums would look like.

Looking around the large room Jason saw all kinds of youths, both mal,e and female while the more astonishing aspects were the wide variations of people.

All kinds of hair colors, frames, sizes, mana cores ranks, and modified mana could be seen by Jason.

Apparently, Jason was the last, and when the front door close to the podium opened, everyone scampered to their tables, ther were numbered.

Jason looked around and saw an empty seat in the last row at the corner with his number written down.

He sat down and greeted his neighbor who responded to him with a slightly shy 'good morning'.

A young man wearing glasses came inside with short golden hair, stylish clothes, and perfect body proportions.

He looked like he was in his twenties but that didn't mean he was inexperienced.

While the girls admired his handsome looks, the boys looked envious at him while whispering about his build.

The young man stood behind the podium and before he said something a huge wave of mana was released in order to suppress everyone inside the classroom, while nobody could react according to the unexpected attack.

It was a surprise attack and nobody expected something like that as an introduction.

Meanwhile, Jason scanned the teacher with his mana eyes and he was barely able to release a small mana membrane around himself which was immediately destroyed when he noticed mana violent mana fluctuations around his teacher.

Except for Jason nobody was able to react fast enough.

"My name is Till Greil and I'm the headteacher of Class Nr. 75 for this year.

Right now if you were attacked by a mana wave with the intention to kill someone, everyone except Rank 225 died.

Rank 225 you would be heavily injured but still alive. Congratulations….well... being heavily injured is almost as fatal as being dead so EVERYONE failed! "

Till Greil was decisive and ready to smash everyone with his words as they were enhanced with mana.

Everyone looked at him with teary eyes because there was still mana around suppressing everyone pushing them onto the table in front of them.

Some were even close to faint but fortunately before that happened, Till Greil released them.

If they weren't pressed on the table, they would have probably collapsed.

"Stand UP! Greeting!" Till shouted

While everyone was dumbfounded, they supported their bodies with their arms by pushing themselves from the table with all their might in order to stand up.

After 5 minutes everyone was standing, while Jason's back was drenched in sweat.

If he hadn't defended himself from the mana wave, Jason didn´t know if he would be able to stand right now and looking at the innocently smiling teacher, he shivered in fright.

Then everyone greeted their teacher respectfully and afterward, they stayed quiet with a straight back.

"The first thing I want to say is that you guys are hilarious...more than 50 of you used the back doors to enter this school and you think you're able to survive with this puny strength of yours? Well, dream on...and for the others... Aren't you all embarrassed to enter the weakest class in the sixth affiliated school?....I´ll only say this one time...I won't be nice to any of you and I expect each one of you to give 200% of your energy to rise in rank and defeat the other classes in one month when the class battles start!"

While he said that everyone looked a little bit confused..what is next month?

"Oh.. well... I forgot to tell you guys something.. As you might know, the resources schools have is limited… To put my explanation simple. The higher our class is ranked the better the provided resources are with the exception of the solo rankings, which are not important at the moment.

Our class gets the lowest resources and we are probably worse off than some b-grade school with the provided equipment… aren't you guys ashamed? If everyone works hard and strives for more strength we might be able to get more resources soon!!

Next month is the first quarterly class battle. If we can defeat the 74. Class, we will change our class with them and thus also the resources.

Our name will be 74 and theirs 75 if we defeat them...

After that, we could continue until we are defeated.

Each class has a single life to challenge classes but can also be challenged by each class."

These class battles can be made up of soulbonds battles, knowledge tests, solo fights, group fights, class sieges, wild zone battles, and so on, so we have to work hard in the future.

But the first-class battle will only be consistent with solo battles without one's soulbond, as such we will focus on that.

If anyone doesn't want to achieve more with our class, I´ll throw you into class 74 or somewhere else, because I don´t need cowards...But be aware...If I throw someone in class 74, who knows if you're able to get any resources next month…"

Jason was astonished because his teacher was really competitive, even if their class was the worst one...Maybe this was some kind of spirit for him to motivate the worst class or maybe something else but Jason didn't care about it at all, as his teacher's fighting spirit was definitely something good.

He liked his teacher's motivational speech and he had to restrain himself from jumping up to applaud him.

Jason also wanted to get stronger by all means and thus he was happy to have a nice teacher

"I don´t care about your rankings if you are rich or from the slums… the only thing that matters to me is hard work and the fighting spirit we need to defeat the higher classes...I don´t accept lazy people!

Well....that was it, but before we start the lessons, let's begin with an introduction..Nr.1 please begin"

Everyone introduced themself with their name, mana core rank, affinity rank, and age while a whole hour passed until it was Jason´s turn.

Listening to the others, Jason found out that his class was almost equally split with physical soul beasts and elemental abilities.

But everyone had one thing in common. Their mana core ranks were at least at the 1st Adept-rank, even for the shy boy who sat next to him.

It was kinda weird that everyone was such a low rank and he remembered the time when he read the school information, that most students were at higher ranks and only a few thousand were below the required mana core rank.

`Was it because their other abilities were especially strong or did they enter through the back door like him?`

"Hello, my name is Jason Stella and I'm 14 years old, I don't have any ability and I´m a 5th Novice rank close to the 6th"

When Jason woke up today, he noticed that it was already mid-August and his birthday had already passed unknowingly... He had never celebrated it since his mother died and thus, Jason didn't care about his birthday.

Everyone listened to Jason and it was extremely difficult for them to hold in their laughter when they heard that Jason was only at the 5th-Novice rank…

When the first one couldn't hold it anymore a whole wave started and everyone was laughing except his teacher.

Jason didn't care about it and looked calmly at his teacher who returned his gaze.

With a finger snap enhanced with mana, everyone turned immediately silent and they felt as if their heart was getting heavier and heavier.

"Don't laugh at your classmates" their teacher calmly said but the only thought in their mind was

`SCARY!!`

"Do you have mana eyes?" Till Greil straightforwardly asked without caring about etiquette, as it was rude to ask about someone else's traits and Jason was hesitating for a second before he gave the obvious answer everyone could conclude with a few information
