Author's Destiny in The Novel

Finally, it was decided that the chores would be split up amongst everyone throughout the week. As for the food, the one who wanted to eat would have to make his own. This was because it wasn't really necessary for people to make their own food as you could easily get it at the basement of each Dorm and the Academy itself.

Giving an individual kitchen to everyone was merely for their own convenience.

"Hey guys let's go grab a bite, I'm really hungry after all the work we've done", eeked out Anthony while holding his hands over his stomach trying to indicate to us that he really did need some food fast.

"I don't see why not", I replied to him as I got up and made my way towards the elevator, with the others following right behind me without any complaints.

Other than going to the basement of the dorms, shops were set up across the whole Campus where you could order your food amongst a large variety of options available. Reaching one such shop we found closest to our dorm, we monopolized a table for ourselves and sat down. It seemed that as it was the first day, everyone was extremely hyped out so it resulted in the entire restaurant being filled. Luckily we managed to take the last table for ourselves.

Barely had we sat down on the table that a man banged his hand on it and screamed out,

"GET OFF THIS TABLE, We were the ones who saw it before so it's ours!" A tall and bulky man grumbled out hoarsely while three people with seemingly similar hostile looks came up to us from behind him.

'Ah I've only been with them for a few hours and it's starting already? These protagonists fall into trouble for absolutely no reason and it looks like I won't even have any peace in the next 3 years.'

'Though I should really try to make connections in these 3 years.' During the duration of my Academy life, I won't have many chances to leave the Academy so it was fundamentally impossible for me to start my own business company. Only after I've made connections with the top guilds and graduated from the Academy can I start my own as graduating from this Academy is prestigious in itself.

While I was thinking about this, the conversation really started to get heated.

"We were the ONES, who sat here before you guys. Can't you all see that or all you all just blind? F*ck off before I get in a bad mood and beat you all up." barked out Orion in his regular Arrogant voice.

"WHO do you think you all are? You dare to disrespect me!? YOU WILL REGRET THIS!" screamed out one of the people behind the bulky man as he tried to punch out towards Orion.

'This is just the first day so the rules haven't been introduced to these people yet or else they wouldn't ever, try to break the rules even in their wildest dreams.' I thought to myself as I sipped out some coffee I brought out from my spatial ring.

Most spatial rings slowed down the flow of time in them so we could store a ton of items without having to worry about them going bad.

"Heh, is this all you have?" questioned Orion with a mocking tone as he calmly gazed at the punch blazing towards him before casually blocking it.

The bulky man, having a lack of brain cells to realize how outmatched he was after having his punch easily blocked, instead got, even more, angrier and screamed out, "LET'S BEAT THESE PEOPLE UP AND SHOW THEM THEIR PLACE"

One of the three people behind the bulky man suddenly mobilized some of his mana as he shot out a water spear at Anthony who used his Space affinity to send the attack off into the void.

"SPACE AFFINITY!?"

We could hear some whistling sounds around us as the man who shot the spear looked at Anthony in disbelief. Space affinity, after all, was one of the rarest affinities you'd ever find.

Meanwhile, Alex suddenly shot out an orb of darkness at the other two people who were instantly flung to the back, without even having a chance to retaliate.

"And here I thought you guys were tough but guess they're just some pigs in the end", Alex let out a rude comment at those two pig- I mean students who were knocked out.

As if on cue, Orion used the Lightning affinity to shock the bulky man while Anthony simply teleported behind the final person and gave him a chop on his neck.

Anthony: "Guess we took care of this a bit too easily, huh?

Orion: "They were just so pathetically weak they couldn't even survive a single hit."

Anthony: "What should we do now?"

Alex: "Maybe just let them stay there? They'll probably wake up in a few hours."

"Orion Hawthorne, Alex Silvercrest, and Anthony Reis report to the 37th Office in the Professor's sector tomorrow along with those four people as you'll all be judged for breaking the rules of the Academy on the very first day!"

A professor appeared behind Alex as he spoke to the three of them and sent a message regarding the same to the smartwatches of all 7 involved in this incident.

Alex opened his mouth, possibly to argue with the Professor or prove his innocence but.. boy was I wrong? "Sir, then why don't you also call Asher, he was with us too!"

'This little dipsh*t, HAH he thought he could involve me in their problems too but GUESS WHAT, I know the rules best, and I never even did anything HAHAHAHAAAH!'

Agreeing with my inner thoughts, the Professor said, "He's just been sitting there sipping coffee the whole time, he never did anything so why should I involve him?"

At this moment, Alex and the others realized that rather than helping them, I had simply been sitting the whole time watching their clown show. Their faces were ones to watch as they looked like their wives had betrayed them or something and had an affair with other men.

Those four goons had obviously broken the rules but the ones broken by Alex and the others were different. It's not that they weren't allowed to do self defense. Rather the fact was that these three were trying to show off their powers so they used more strength than necessary when using their elements and caused huge damage to their surroundings, much more than what those goons themselves had done.

These three could easily have handled the situation but when they went off to flex their elements, the damage caused to the surroundings wasn't small. Well too bad for them, I was kinda hoping for them to get expelled from the Academy tomorrow though I knew that wasn't likely as they'd be let off quite easily if they just decided to concentrate on the fact that they were attacked first and were only self-defending
