Ryan and others were heading to the Katana training class. The first went out to the portals that were out in the dormitory's courtyard.

Students started entering the portals which led to their respective classes. Those students who were in the bow and guns class took the orange portal, students who were learning magic took the green portal.

Ryan, Saori, Ayami, and Gwen. All four of them took the red portal which led to the Scythe and sword training class. The class where Shinmen was waiting for the students.

"See ya later, Ryan-Kun,"

"Hm." Ryan nodded his head.

"Bye, Ayami-san~" Gwen raised her hand. Ayami ran to the scythe training part of the building.

Ryan lifted his gaze, he pulled his eye to Gwen and kept staring at her.

"What?" she nodded her head while looking up at Ryan.

Ryan had a sort of suspicious look on his face. As if he caught a hint about her cheating on him.

"Since when did you two become so good, friends?" Ryan glanced up and down at Ayami and Gwen. Gwen let out a sigh.

"Since when did you and Saori fall in love with each other?"

"Eek!" Saori jumped, she quickly pulled both of her hands near her mouth, her eyes were moving all over the place, her body was fidgeting like a spinning top.

"Huh? What are you saying?" Ryan glanced at the nervous Saori. She was acting as if she got caught, which was not the case. She was nervous because she is shy.. yes, she is. And any shy person would get nervous if someone says they are in love with a good-looking guy.

Ryan was not that ugly. Before all of his system shit, he was a decent average guy who would have a good life, a good future ahead of him.

He had the looks good enough to get close to a girl he loves, confess her. And if she is not a bitch then they both would have spent the rest of their lives happily together. He was not a playboy with super charming looks like a prince. He was handsome enough to at least settle down with the one and only girl of his dream.

But alas, Erin broke his heart, Ryan dropped the idea of settling with anyone. Then he got the system that evolved him twice, improving his physique and looks altogether. If it was not for his eye, he would have been even more handsome.

With his injured eye, it was not the ugliest sight to a human eye. His eye was just closed with a scar around- below his eye. That scar was formed because his System and Doc both tried healing him at the same time. He still has not gained the ability to heal his eye. And after the right where his eye suddenly opened, the scar spread a little.

Leaving everything aside, with his current looks [with the eye open] Ryan had the potential to form a harem. Maybe because his face and body got muscular, he got taller, his muscles increased, his overall looks increased.

"See, Saori-san is flushed because of your words, Gwen," Ryan giggled after taking a glance at Saori. She was still not sure what she should say or do.

"Yeah, yeah," Gwen sighed, "It was the same with Doc too." Gwen lifted her eyes, "Let us join the class before it starts." Gwen took the lead with Ryan beside her and Saori following both of them.

They soon entered the class, most of the students were already there. No, everybody was already there. Ryan and his group were the last ones to arrive.

"I will start the class," Shinmen muttered while walking up to the center of the classroom, standing on a stage. Shinmen had a calm expression on his face. His eyes moved across the whole room before starting.

"Ugh.. I have an important announcement to make," he stated, "This week and then the next week. These will be our final training classes for this year."

"Huh? What is going on?" A student asked his friend.

"What does he mean the last training classes?"

"You do not think he is leaving the Academy, do you?"

"Silence.. let me at least explain my words," everyone stopped chattering, "By last classes I mean, we would not have a chance of training you for this year, I am not going anywhere."

That brought life back to the students' hearts. Even Ryan was a little worried about Shinmen leaving the Academy. There still are many things that Ryan has to learn from him.

"Well, whatever the reason is you will know it," He then took a pause, "What matters is.. do you know what the term 'Inter weapons class leveling game' means?"

That gave the students a slight idea of what was going to happen. As the name suggests, it was something to surely do with the leveling game. And if other weapons classes are included with the word 'Inter' it meant only one thing.

"Next week, there will be no theory classes." Shinmen started walking from this side to the other side, "They will be organizing Inter Weapons classes leveling game." Shinmen stated, "Yes, you will have to fight with students who do not wield a katana."

"Heh? How is that possible?"

"Yeah, how can we fight them? We are not trained!"

"That is right, we are not even used to fighting with each other, how will we fight with people who wield different weapons?"

"I am sorry," Shinmen's words stopped everyone, "But there is nothing I can do. The date has been confirmed and this is how the things are going to be."

The students waited for Shinmen to continue, "That is the reason why.. we will be starting our sparring practice from today itself. Although I do not care about this leveling game, I am sure you students do care about losing and winning against your friends. And so that you do not blame me later for not training you, let us get to work."

Shinmen got off his stage and walked to the middle of the field, "But before we start katana practice.." he spoke, "You must know the manners of a samurai, they are very important in a samurai vs. samurai fight. You have to respect your opponent." Shinmen told everyone.

"Come with me, there is something that I must show you," Shinmen said after a pause.
