A young man stood behind the window of his room as he looked below on the streets where several young people in black and gold uniform were walking. He had been in that place for three months now and yet he was not used to it. He still missed the days when he was only an ordinary person that lived in a faraway town.

The young man suddenly shook his head to get rid of those thoughts. He already knew that he can't return to his past life and all he needed to do was to focus on his survival. Ezion turned around and left his room for his class at the Lamier Magic Academy.

Three months ago, he was kidnapped and brought to the Magic Tower, after that he stayed in that dreadful place for a week. He endured all they did then he suddenly manifested his talent for magic. According to those people his mana core was sealed and now that it was unsealed, he could use magic.

They then forced him to enter the academy and learn magic because he needed to learn the basics. He did not want to but they wouldn't let him go and with gritted teeth he accepted. Ezio became a student of the academy but he still felt out of place. Although he was not as closely monitored when he was at the tower, he could still feel that there were people who were watching him.

"What took you so long?" A girl with blonde hair and a sweet smile blocked him in the hallway. She was smiling at him but Ezio doesn't have the energy to return her enthusiasm.

"It's none of your business, step aside." He instead glared at her but the young woman did not move. His jaws clenched as he still stepped forward and walked past the woman.

She was baffled at his actions but she still did not stop following him. The young woman ran after him and tried to walk beside him. "Why are you always grumpy?" She asked once again.

He suddenly stopped, "Why do you care?" He could not understand the woman. She had been following him ever since he started attending the academy and wouldn't leave him alone. She was too talkative for him to handle.

"Nothing, I'm just really curious. The magic tower favors you and you have great talents to become a great mage. Many people envy and admire you." The lady listed everything she had observed so far while counting with her fingers. She then looked at Ezio and grinned.

"I don't even know why they are giving me too much importance and I never want to be affiliated with them." His eyes narrowed and the air around him suddenly moved which forced the young lady to take a step back. "Don't ever mention them again."

He walked away and did not look back. The force that knocked her back surprised the young lady. Her eyes were wide as she watched Ezio leave her behind. Vinya Laudica couldn't believe that someone would dare to use their force on her but that did not matter to her. The anger in those eyes was real and fiery.

She became even more curious as to why Ezio doesn't want to be associated with the Magic Tower. Her eyes couldn't help but gaze at the imposing tower not far away from the academy. She shook her head and followed behind Ezio to their class.

From the corner of the hall, a young man wearing the same uniform pushed himself up from the wall where he was leaning. He lifted his eyeglasses and stepped out from where he was hiding to look at the direction where the other two disappeared.

There was silence the moment he entered the room. Nobody dared to talk as he walked towards his seat but the moment he was seated, they would start to whisper with each other while looking in this direction. He had gotten used to it and chose to ignore them.

Since all they did was talk about him, he did not want to associate himself with them either. It was against his will that he was there in the first place so he didn't bother knowing any of his classmates. Besides, all they talked about was bad stuff against him.

He looked outside the window and was suddenly lost in thought, "Master." He mumbled to himself but then a voice broke through his reverie.

"Master?" Vinya asked after she heard him mumble after she took the seat beside him.

Ezio flinched when he heard the woman's voice. He tilted his body and saw that Vinya was sitting beside him again. He could already feel the angry gazes directed at him which could only make him sigh in frustration.

"Why are you always sitting beside me when there are other seats you can use? I can't concentrate in any of the lessons with all the piercing gazes directed at me whenever you sit beside me." Ezio looked at the still smiling woman. He already made it clear but it seemed the woman was not willing to transfer seats.

"Let them be since that's all they could do and besides if they come to fight against you, they won't win so why worry?" Vinya smiled then looked in front. She was very sure of herself so Ezio did not try to persuade her once again.

The professor then came and started with the lecture and after that peaceful discussion, the other lessons were done smoothly. Since there was free lunch in the academy's canteen, there's no need for any of them to leave.

Ezio was walking towards the canteen when he was stopped by a gang of students. He raised an eyebrow and looked at them. This was one of the reasons why he doesn't want the woman to be sticking with him always. He was getting blocked for no reason.

"What do you want?" He lazily asked, then he sighed. He was exhausted from all of the pretentious shows they were doing just because of a woman.

"You've been hanging out with Lady Vinya for so long now. How dare you! You don't have the right to stay beside her, you are just a commoner!" The man in front of the group pointed at him with his nose flaring. He was even breathing hard after shouting all of those words without any pause.

Ezio sighed once again, "Look, you are misunderstanding something here. I am not hanging out with your Lady Vinya. She is the one who always follows me around can't you see that or you are just so blind that you can't even notice that small detail." He couldn't help but be sarcastic while speaking.

There was one thing he noticed about the people who were attending the academy. They were obsessed with talent and ranks. They were also very particular with the status of each student. Both things didn't sit well with him so he tried his best to get caught with their issues but he wasn't able to escape that fate.

"Shut up! Why would Lady Vinya even follow a person like you? You are indeed a gifted magic user but you are only a commoner. Your lowly blood can't associate with us nobles." The man once again shouted as he tried to justify himself.

Ezio had no time to deal with him and he was already hungry but they had no intention of letting him go. "You are indeed blind. I am a commoner but my eyes are clearer than you even though my brain is a bit bigger than yours since you are incapable of thinking straight. What a waste of noble blood."

"What did you say!?" The man became even more angry and in the blink of an eye, he launched a magic attack towards Ezio who calmly looked at the incoming ball of fire.
