You can’t spit in a smiling face.

That’s how important a smile is.

Smirk.

I turned my lips up into a smile for Samuel, who was glaring at me.

Samuel flinched and twisted his head away as if he had seen a disgusting bug.

Is this…… not it?

The first attempt ended in failure.

“What a nauseating face.”

Just as I was about to do that, Samuel uttered icy words.

I froze, unable to react.

I could clearly feel the hostility.

Samuel and I faced off for a while.

A short moment that felt like an eternity.

It was Samuel who broke the silence.

“Can’t you understand? I mean get your nauseating face out of my sight. Lowly bastard.”

Lowly bastard….

That word meant half-blood.

It seemed that Samuel clearly disliked me, a half-blood.

But what could I do about it?

“What an incredibly rude way to speak. Weren’t you the one who stared at me first?”

Flinch.

Samuel’s eyebrows twitched fiercely.

My eyes narrowed, and a cold atmosphere began to circulate.

At this, Samuel growled lowly.

“Are you trying to fight me?”

“I wouldn’t mind.”

I answered with a shrug.

“I don’t know how great your family is, but judging from the fact that they produced trash like you, they must not be much of a family.”

“You crazy bastard……!”

I snorted at Samuel’s furious appearance.

This time, it was different from the case with Baltan.

That guy just wanted to fight me out of pure curiosity.

It was always within the realm of sparring.

Since the principle of Sytan was that students could not harm other students.

However, Samuel showed me genuine hostility.

I could never overlook that.

It would be nice if I could win Samuel over as an ally, but if he had that much hostility towards me, it would be difficult to win him over as an ally, and it could become an obstacle to my future plans.

So, it would be better to make a judgment now.

If the relationship was going to get worse, it would be better to cut it off now.

“I’ll do as you wish.”

Clench-.

Gritting his teeth, Samuel frowned and released his power.

Coo-ooo-.

Dozens of teeth began to sprout on Samuel’s right arm.

I manifested my killing intent against him.

An eerie aura like a well-honed sword blade enveloped the surroundings.

At the same time, I felt the gazes of the students focusing on us.

- Are they fighting?

- What\'s going on? What\'s the situation?

But soon, the students’ murmurs began to fade away.

Samuel and I

We began to prepare to tear at each other’s throats.

I was drawing arrows so that we could switch places at any moment.

Ding-Dong-

The bell rang, signaling the start of the third class.

The students returned to their seats.

Suddenly, only Samuel and I were left standing.

Samuel grimaced and sat back down.

‘Hmm.’

The situation was tense.

In the end, I also sat down.

It felt like it had ended without a clear resolution, which was annoying…

Still, it was better than one of us getting hurt.

As I was thinking about what to do next, the door to the classroom opened.

The teacher for the third class had entered.

“Now that class has started, I would like everyone to be quiet. Ah, first, let me introduce myself.”

* * *

The teacher for the third class finished his brief self-introduction.

To summarize, the teacher’s name was Robolt, and he was in charge of teaching magic.

In that case.

‘It’s time for magic class.’

Thump-.

I had forgotten about what had just happened with Samuel, and my heart pounded with anticipation.

Magic class.

It was the moment I had been waiting for the most.

When you think of a fantasy world, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?

Swordsmanship or spearmanship isn’t bad, but what really gets my heart racing is magic, isn’t it?

Magic also appears in my novel.

In my work, magic belongs to a completely different category than talent or traits.

You could say that it’s closer to a skill.

Unlike traits and talents, which you can use as long as you have enough mana, magic could also be considered a form of knowledge from another perspective.

In order to use this magic, you need not only enough mana, but also something called a ‘circle’.

‘But I don’t have a circle…….’

That’s why I haven’t been able to use magic until now, and have had to rely on traits and talents.

Rene didn’t seem to be able to use magic either, so I didn’t have a chance to learn.

…I didn’t want to ask Crete.

I had been feeling discouraged because of that, but since Sytan had offered to teach me magic, I was more than willing.

I listened to the teacher’s words.

“First, in order to learn magic, you need to know one thing.”

[Attribute]

Robolt emphasized this.

“Some of you may be familiar with the concept of attributes, while others may find it unfamiliar.”

What is an attribute?

The nature of mana that builds magic.

To summarize, that\'s what it is.

Fire, water, wind, darkness, etc...

Mana has its own attribute, and depending on that attribute, the magic that can be learned changes and is strengthened.

Most demons have one attribute, and in some cases, they have two attributes.

\'I think I have two attributes.\'

The bloodline of the Arsene family.

The mana I got from the Bares family.

Maybe it\'s not two attributes.

The mana of the Bares family is definitely a dark attribute, but I don\'t know what the attribute of the Arsene family is.

That question will be answered soon.

"In this class, we will find out the attribute of the mana you possess."

Robolt, who took out a small bead from his arms, added that if you put your hand on the bead, you will know the attribute of your mana.

What attribute do I have?

A beautiful expectation was in my arms.

"Let\'s start from the first order. Everyone, stand in a line."

Robolt called the students together.

The students put their hands on the bead in order, and the color of each bead began to change accordingly.

If it is red, it is a fire attribute.

The student who is green is a wind attribute.

In that way, various colors popped out.

And finally, it was my turn.

"Put your hand up."

"Yes."

Chuck-.

As I put my hand on the bead as Robolt instructed, a color was added to the translucent bead.

The color that appeared like that.

It was a color that had never come out from the students before.

Since it was an unfamiliar color, I looked at Robolt and asked.

"What attribute is this color?"

"Hmm."

Robolt looked at the color of the bead.

Half of the bead was black, and the other half was gray.

Robolt, who had been looking at the bead for a long time, opened his mouth.

"Black means a dark attribute. It\'s not common, but it\'s a color that is often seen in high-ranking demons. But the gray color is unfamiliar."

"You don\'t know either, Instructor?"

"No, I know. I\'ve only seen a handful of gray attributes, so I was a little surprised."

"Then..."

"Gray means chaos."

Chaos.

...What kind of attribute is this?
