The Anti-Hero
Chapter 5: [Physique] or [Skill]???
Van finally returned to his dorm quietly and went to bed
As for Alice, she was currently walking around the city while contemplating the incident in the dormitory earlier
...Next Day...
Van awoke from his sleep and saw that it was still 6am
Van then got up from the bed and put on clothes for sport
The van jumped from the dorm window and landed in the mouth with the ground
Since it was still 6am, the surroundings of the academy were still very quiet and the air still felt cool
Van started his sport by jogging
While jogging, Van felt someone running towards him
As the figure arrived beside him, Van prepared to attack with [Decay] but seeing the other party's smiling face made Van thwart his attack
"Hello, you're Van, right? A record-breaking first-year kid at the Academy?" say the other party
But Van still put on a flat face and did not respond to the other party's question but accelerated his run
The other party who saw Van speed up his run also accelerated his run
The other party finally caught up with Van and introduced himself "Hi, introduce me to Typhon"
"Senior, why do you keep chasing me? What do you want?" van asked without looking at Typhon with a straight forward gaze
"Nothing, it's very rare that I meet academy students who exercise early in the morning especially those students are the first year that managed to break the academy record" Typhon said
The van that heard him still had a flat expression then walked towards the academy gym
When he arrived, Van saw a very complete gym facility and was interested in trying it
...2 Hours Later...
The van had finished exercising daily and was walking back to the dorm
"Bah Van, hopefully we can meet again" Typhon's voice sounded from behind but Van kept walking without responding
While on his way home, Van caught the eye because he was a first-year student who broke the #1 academy record during the entrance exam
But not just one record, but 2 records at once
He was the first student in academy #1 with 2 [Skill] and another record was beating all 1680 participants during the entrance exam where the previous record was only 500 participants
On the way home, Van also heard rumors that spread in the academy that there were 2 students who were killed and one student disappeared
The culprit even claimed that he killed both of them and was caught
He is thought to be responsible for the death of 2 schoolgirls and the disappearance of one student
But when interrogated, the schoolgirl trembled in fear and just kept quiet
"Hey, have you heard that? Security guards found 2 bodies behind the B-level dormitory"
"Huh? Who killed both of them? That's a level that can already be considered rare"
"Somehow, he said the two were killed by their own friends"
"Gosh"
"There's even a sanction saying that one of the F-class students followed them"
"Sissy F? So where's that F student?"
"Let's know, it's said that he disappeared"
A faint smile formed on his face upon hearing the voices around him and Van continued his journey towards the dormitory
...Hour 08.45 AM...
Next is a long sleeve vest with the color according to the level
S Level: Gold
Level A: Purple
Level B: Red
Level C: Blue
Level D: Green
Level E: White
F Level: Grey
After walking for a while, Van arrived in front of the enormous academy building
It is said that the academy building is the second largest building in the city #1 after the City Leader building
No matter in any area, gold vests have always been the center of attention
Van walked into the academy towards A1 grade and finally arrived at the doorstep of A1 grade
Van opened the door of A1 which showed a very large hall and as far as the eye could see, Van saw 2 thousand students with various vests
Van's arrival attracted everyone's attention but Van only paid attention to the interior of the first year's classroom hall
A1 class hall covering 1 square kilometer with elegant Ancient European style design
The entire floor and walls are made of special metal that is durable and can absorb attacks
The student seating area on the left and on the right side is the arena
Van finally walked towards the seat and sat down in a seat away from the crowd
Although Van had moved away from the crowd, everyone's eyes were still on him
After a few minutes, a Master finally arrived and walked to the center of the arena
Note: In the academy, the designation for the teacher or lecturer will be replaced with the Master
"Include me Johnson, hero #22 (ranked 20) with the codename [Combatant] as well as a teacher who teaches about melee combat at this academy
"From now on I will teach you about close combat without using your [Skill]" Master Johnson said
Master Johnson appointed one of the skinny students with a Blue vest (Level C) and the muscular student with a White vest (Level E) "You two, to the arena"
"From the grade level, it's definitely level C that will win but it will be reversed during close combat" explained Master Johnson
"Alright, now start the melee fight without using the ranged attack, the fight begins!" said Master Johnson
Muscled students with white vests (level E) are initially hesitant when they want to attack
While skinny students with blue vests (level C) immediately attacked with confidence
E level students resist C level student attacks easily
Unaccepting with that, the C-level student attacked continuously with his fists but his fists did not give any effect to the muscular E-level student
The E level student finally emboldened himself and clenched his fists
The E level student hit the stomach of the C level student which sent him crashing far away
The E level student stared in disbelief at the C level student who was thrown away then stared at his fist which was still clenched
"You guys see? Everything changes when we don't talk about [Skill]! Level E can even beat level C" explains Master Johnson
"So now prepare yourself, get down to the arena and we'll start a real class" Master Johnson said with a hidden smile
