Chapter 52 51. F**Ked Up.
I helped Violet and Katharine stand back up, Katline was helped back up by Vinny, I looked around and noticed the students who were unconscious, waved my hand, and lifted them up using magic.
"Is it telekinesis?" Katline looked at the floating students and asked with her brows raised.
"No, it's manakinesis...." I smiled and looked at them over my shoulder.
"Huh?" Everybody asked in unison, Isha included.
".... I'm simply manipulating my mana to lift them, I can do telekinesis if you want..." I said looking at Isha from the corner of my eye.
"Hm? Is it different?" Isha asked.
"Of course it's different.." I turned to face them.
"Mana manipulation requires mana sensitivity, mana control and concentration, whereas telekinesis uses 'Will power'." I explained.
"Huh?" Everyone's expressions implied that they didn't understand a word I said.
"Can you guys feel mana?" I asked trying to explain in a simpler manner.
"Yes." They said and nodded in union.
I formed a small wisp of mana flitted around, circling over them.
"Feel it's mana." I said, pointing at the wisp.
They closed their eyes and concentrated on the wisp as Vinny approached me, stood next to me, and focused on them.
'Right.... He has no mana...yet.'
"I can feel it." Isha was first to speak up while the others simply nodded.
"Then..." I released my mana towards Isha to lift her up.
"Eiiip." Isha made a weird sound and opened her eyes to find herself floating.
"Can you feel the mana?" I asked, grinning.
'You reap what you sow.... Hehehe.'
"Yes, it's around Miss Isha." Katline replied, opened her eyes, and realised everyone was staring at her because she was the only one who had her eyes closed despite hearing Isha's low cry.
"Pfft.. yes, good. Now, again feel the mana." I lifted Katline with telekinesis.
"Eiiip." Katline made the same sound as Isha when she realised her feet weren't touching the ground.
"Do you still feel mana." I asked Katline, smiling.
"..... No." Katline shook her head.
DING
"I'll teach about 'Will power' in a different class." I said and checked the system notification.

'.... Are you sure it's a curse? Oh! A blessing in disguise?'
BZZZTZZTZTZZ
'f**k, I think it'll blow up in my face!'
[Private Skill: Author?? Activated.]
[Level: 0 (early access)]
[Calculating exp...]
"Huh?"
'Tutorial? Qualification? Selection? Survival? Rewards? Lower the number of living? Level up? Curse? Unknown god?'
'..... One thing is for sure... I mean, it's clear as the day but monsters lives count.... And I'm... No, close to get f**ked!'
"If monsters survival instincts kick in... Humanity will be f**ked!" I mumbled out involuntarily, pondering.
"..." everybody's expression turned pale after hearing my words, except for Isha.
"..... Let's get out of here!" I walked towards the gate without looking back.
'Humans are a messed up race almost same as the monsters... A slaughter with rewards is almost an..... Opportunity for the messed up people!'
"And... Everything is going on too fast!" I cursed out loud.
Sector one's inner core is swarming with powerful monsters. Some I can't win easily, but I can win nonetheless. Winning will be easy if I use my experience from both lives, and humans aren't quite strong enough... yet.
While it certainly true that it is 'the survival of the fittest,' those monsters have learned from me just as much as I have learned from them without their knowledge... I know they have learned from me, but I'm not sure what and how they'll use it.
'.... This.... Let's just hope for the best..'
We arrived near the gate and entered it instantly.

RI-RING (4x)
"He- hello... This is Stuart Pelletier.... Th-this... Please Help! I- I'm mage representative of 'Hell Fury Guild.' We are currently near the sector five border. The academy's northern west side. Please help...."
"What in the actual f**k?" A woman sat in her office chair stood up abruptly when she heard a sudden call for help.
She had black hair, purple eyes, was 5.5 feet tall, appeared to be in her twenties, and wore a red suit with white pants, almost appeared to be a royal guard.
The office room was furnished with a desk, a couch, extra chairs, books on the bookshelf, a large glass window behind her desk, a bonsai on the desk, and some plants near the window.
BAM
"What's up Seo Hana?" A woman abruptly opened the office door and leaned on it with a wide grin.
She had red hair, black eyes, was 6 feet tall, appeared to be in her early twenties, and wore a blue suit with white pants similar to Seo Hana.
"Oh! Elise! Let's go... We have a emergency!" Seo Hana walked towards the door and dragged Elise Ryan along with her.
"Squad?" Elise asked with her brows raised.
"Yeah!" Seo Hana answered without looked at her.
BE-BEEP
"Squad Blue! Emergency!" Elise said with her smartwatch near her mouth.
"... Why not 'Squad Blue! Assemble!' ?" Seo Hana asked.
"If you call your squad like that I'll do so next time." Elise said with a grin.
BE-BEEP
"..... Squad Red! Assemble!" Seo Hana said in her smartwatch with a flushed face.
"Pfft.... You really did!.... Pfft hahaha, so, what's the emergency?" Elise asked.
"I don't know, but related to one of the top 10 Guild 'Hell Fury Guild.'" Seo Hana said with a solemn look.
"..... huh? That bast*rd's guild called us for help? Now, that's something fun!" Elise Ryan said, cracking her knuckles with a savage grin.
"Where to?" Elise paced up and asked.
"Academy's Northwest, near border.." Seo Hana said.
"I'll order them to join us, let's move first!" Elise said with a savage grin.
'You really want to see his expression don't you?.... Well...'
"... it's not like I'm one to talk." Seo Hana mumbled and returned Elise's savage grin.
