After the first day, our daily classes started and a regular training regime was provided, everything was going peacefully, except for one person, yeah the protagonist.
It seems he got on the nerves of the bullies from the very first day and became the primary target of bullying for the whole group of bullies present in our class.
'They are beating him on a daily basis as if providing a set dose of medicine. Even I am tempted to go and give a few kicks but, sadly I am too busy training.'
For the next four months, everything continued, as usual, In the early morning after a few hours of training, I attended the classes regularly on time, then after class, I did some meditation to increase my mana capacity, and then late-night training again.
In this novel's world, you can increase your mana capacity infinitely through meditation alone, the only thing you need to be careful of is, that you don't end up blasting yourself by having too much mana in your body. Your body should be strong enough to store the corresponding amount of mana.
During these four months, I increased the amount of my mana considerably. Although my rank and skill also increased the growth has slowed down, instead it has become a steady and stable growth. Anyway, steady and stable growth is better than fast growth where you have several flaws in your body.
In these four months, I have already adapted to the academy life and my soul has fully synchronized with this body. Now I have all the memories of the previous Rio. It turns out this guy also had a family until he was 10 years old but then, due to a demon attack on his hometown the whole city was destroyed and a huge massacre took place, which is now known as the Drift city massacre.
Rio is one of the few survivors of that event. He was covered under a pile of debris and was unconscious, thus he was not detected by the demons later he was rescued and sent to an orphanage where he trained and got lucky enough to come here.
'I don't know, how my soul came into this body, but it feels as if instead of replacing his soul, mine has merged with his soul. While his will got destroyed and I maintained my sanity
Anyway since I have already got this body, I will put it to good use. Let's check the result of my four months of training first.

"My strength and defense both have reached the major bottleneck of 50, They can only be increased more, after rank B"
Okay, it's time to go to the class now. Today is the day when the protagonist will get his cheat. According to the novel, Fade was still a G- rank in his magic until he got the system and it will still take him very long to become strong enough, to be able to contend with me.
The only advantage Fade have is that his system has the famous skill appraisal, not only it can appraise others, but it can also help him in his exam by showing him correct answers.
'That's a real cheat, it's a relief he can't appraise those who are too high in rank than him. But I will have to find a way to block his appraisal after these mid-terms, I don't want him to know my secrets.'
After half an hour, Rio was already on his seat, waiting for Anna's announcement about the mid-terms. And as expected she announced it at the end of the class:
"As you all know, it is time you show what you have learned in the past few months. Your Mid-term exams will start a week later be prepared for it."
After that, she left the class. Generally, most of the students would have left the class now too, but today a commotion has started in the class, due to this announcement:
"oh, shit! I was so busy training, I never learned anything!"
"Damn it! I was so engrossed in the luxury room of the academy, that I just lazed around, what to do now!"
"Eh, then you are an idiot, do you want to rank even lower than that vermin Fade."
"Nope, even if I never read a single book, at least I can get enough marks in physical tests, unlike that vermin, I am strong."
Some were sad, some were spouting curses and some were comparing themselves to Fade. And our protagonist Fade was already depressed and despair was clear on his face.
Then suddenly Fade got in a daze and started to stare at the thin air in front of him.
'It's starting, the show is starting!'(Rio)
After a few minutes of daze, Fade's eyes gradually cleared and a newfound flame of confidence was burning in his eyes. A huge grin appeared on his face and then he started laughing loudly like a madman:
"HAHAHAHAHAHA...HAHAHA....FINALLY!!!...HAHAHAH!!!!"(Fade)
"w-what the heck, did he get mad due to stress!"
"Hey! it looks like this trash's mind finally gave up on him"
"Damn it! Shut up you piece of shit! I will beat you if you laughed again!"
Suddenly a few bullies started to beat him in the class, in front of everyone.
'even though you have got a cheat, you should not try to catch attention like that, it will get you in trouble.'(Rio)
Most of the students ignored this ruthless beating just like Rio because they don't want to get involved with this matter. These bullies have been beating Fade, for months continuously and everyone just ignored it.
But obviously, someone will eventually stand against this bullying. Just like now:
"Hey! Stop all of you! Otherwise I will beat you all, just like you are beating him!"(Kira, the heroine)
Hearing her all the bullies finally stopped and after thinking about something they finally left. But fade was already beaten blue and black, he was already unconscious.
"Hey you, carry him to the healer's office"(Kira)
'as expected of the main heroine she has a strong sense of justice'(Rio)
