"Randy? What are you doing here? Have you not disgraced yourself and the academy enough? Why did you come here? Get out of here. I thought I told you that you're not fit to register without an awakened ability no matter how high your basic statistics are?"

The instructor suddenly spoke without giving him a chance to even respond to his series of questions.

Randy was stunned momentarily when he this from his instructor, however, he instantly came back to his senses as he confidently took out his identification from his pocket under the watchful gaze of everybody standing behind and on the side.

And then he outstretches his arm, displaying the awakener's identification for everyone including his instructor to see.

"What is this—" The instructor impatiently spoke but then stopped in his sentence before uttering in disbelief: "Impossible, how can this be, let me see that."

Saying so, he abruptly swiped the identification card from Randy's hand and then proceeded to examine it for a brief moment to check for its authenticity.

However, after a while, he displayed a doubtful expression and then questioned: "Who did you get this from?"

"This is my awakener's identification card, teacher." Randy instantly replied to him.

Thinking of something, he decided to explain: "I had only recently acquired this—"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The instructor suddenly cut in before he could finish his sentence.

"You did not have any ability all last week and all of sudden what? You have awakened? And what's this saying, C-rank High State? Do you expect me to believe something like that? Even if you had indeed awakened your ability, it shouldn't have increased that much in rank. Did you have someone fabricate a fake identification card just to register? How despicable."

The instructor condemned him without listening to him for an explanation, causing Randy to scowled when he heard his instructor's words.

'What is this person saying? All I did was awaken my ability as he wanted and even got my awakener's identification card to prove this fact and yet he is doubting the fact that I had awakened?'

Randy looked at the instructor as he silently thought in displeasure.

"Eh? He was using a fake ID? However, that makes more sense. After all to get a C-rank High State, which was even higher than Jeremiah's was impossible for someone like him, who did not have any ability before."

One of the students said when they heard their instructor's words just now.

"That's right, even he had indeed awakened his ability as he claimed, how could he surpass someone like Jeremiah who had all the resources."

Another student agreed with the other student.

..

On the other side.

Jeremiah who was standing by the side, anticipating Randy's downfall to ridicule him, suddenly lost interest in the matter after hearing the instructor's initial words.

As he was walking away and he suddenly stopped in his tracks when he heard the last part of the instructor's words, about a C-rank High State.

At that moment, he could not help but turn around with a disbelief expression.historical

'A C-rank High State, did this trash actually awakened with a C-rank High State combat prowess? Or is it like the instructor claimed, that he was using a fake ID to register for the university entrance examination? What if he actually awakened his ability and this was indeed his current rank, then isn't his rank higher than mine?'

Thinking about this, Jeremiah's expression turned serious as he frowned while looking at Randy's figure in the distance.

..

At this point, Randy continued to stare at his instructor with a deep frown on his face as he thought.

'This person kept saying that I have disgraced the academy on many occasions and now, I have awakened my ability, and what? You're still not happy about that fact and instead doubted me when I am telling you the truth? What's with that logic? Why don't I understand his intention?'

Randy was very confused about his instructor's action the moment he started speaking just now.

In reality, he had already noticed that despite them being a student and a teacher, this instructor had never acted like one and was more antagonistic towards him on basically everything he does in the academy.

"Teacher, if you don't believe that I have awakened my ability, then it is simple to confirm this. You can just confirm through my ID card using a scanner, or you can check my ability directly."

Randy said with a determined look on his face. He was not going to let this instructor keep looking down on him, not anymore.

Originally, this was supposed to be his revenge against them, however it seemed like this instructor was more unreasonable than he had thought.

"Huh? So you're confident about this, huh?" The instructor said in surprise when he heard Randy's resolute words.

However, he soon revealed a smirk and then said: "Very well, you said it yourself so don't blame me about what happens afterward. Since I am your instructor, I cannot fight you myself. Hm? It says here that you're an enhancement-type ability user, so how about you use your supposed ability and fight one of your classmates? Through that, we can confirm whether you have awakened your ability or not. And we can also confirm whether your rank was fabricated or the real deal."

And then he pondered as he spoke: "The gym should mostly be empty right now, except those using the other floor to measure their.."

However, Randy suddenly cut his thoughts and then declared: "There's no need to go to the gym for this. We can just decide it right here, and now."

Saying this, he proceeded to stare straight into his instructor's eyes and then continued: "Teacher doesn't mind right? Since you can always use your telekinesis ability to prevent any damage from occurring to this room or to anyone."

The instructor was surprised by this proposal stated by him, as he did not expect the brat to be this gutsy enough to say something like that.
