As I made my way towards the classroom, a flurry of thoughts flooded my mind. Did knowing everything in this novel make me overlook something important? I felt the need to gather all the pieces in one fell swoop. However, now I felt like an ant that knew everything about humans but remained just an ant.

These thoughts continued to race through my mind, especially after my firsthand experience with Professor Deventhia. Thanks to the easygoing nature of Professor Adriannel, I had thought I'd be safe if I knew it all. As I reached the hallway, I overheard students gossiping about me, some explaining my masked appearance to others in pity.

Yet, my mind was preoccupied with another thought: 'Hey, Zendal, how did you save me when I lost consciousness?'

'Oh, at that time, it was Luinera who helped me'

'Luinera,' I mused, thinking that the bird only woke up when it recognized me.

[I recognize you, human.]

'What? Really? Then why didn't you help me when I was fighting the dragon?'

[Are you foolish, human? With your thin mana shield, did you truly believe you'd be safe from the dragon's breath? You emerged from a dragon's mouth; do you comprehend the difference between surviving its flames and being inside its mouth?]

'So, you mean you were helping me all along?'

[Yes, or you would have been vaporized the moment you fell into the dragon's mouth.]

'Do you think I am now worthy of you because I saved Thalia?'

[Do you think you're the first to self-sacrifice? You're the first in centuries to have my soul bound to you. Your mother could only request me, but it was my choice to fulfill it.]

'Then why did you choose me?' I halted in my tracks, unable to fathom why things had unfolded this way. I should have known everything, having read the whole novel.

[I was intrigued by your memories of the future. You possess a different soul than the previous owner, whom I encountered as a fetus.]

'So, you're saying you can see my soul?' Shock gripped me as I considered the implications. If she could, other guardian spirits might as well, and that could be devastating. 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

[Yes, but only when bound to you or within your body.]

I sighed in relief but as the classroom came into view, decided to postpone our conversation for the night.

<Thalia's POV>

I hoped he would be alright. That Hedrian girl also returned, and my intuition told me nothing had transpired between them. He had dealt with people's gossip before, especially due to his weight he have endured many reducule So he must be somewhat resistant to some degree, right?

'I should talk to him'

Lost in thought, I spotted Zeph entering the classroom, wearing the same white mask I had given him.

It was a small comfort, knowing it might boost his confidence, and no one in the class seemed to be looking at him with disgust.

As such, I called out to him, fre(e)novelkiss.com

"Hey, Zeph, come over here."

<Zeph's POV>

Thalia's call reached my ears, but I wasn't in the mood to engage, so I took my seat and started preparing for upcoming classes. Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, Kael with his curious Green eyes approached me.

'Damn timing, my mood is already not good, and now him,' I thought, well aware of what he was about to do. Kael had a unique way of making friends, and it often irritated me.

"Zephyr, I challenge you to a Duel," he declared, sticking to his peculiar way of asking.

"Hey, you, how dare you ask for a Duel, even knowing how much he has gone through," Thalia couldn't contain her impatience, and others in the class shared her sentiment. Everyone present had been chosen by the Professors, except for a few side villains who glared at Kael. He seemed oblivious to it all, a true protagonist in the making – dumb, strong, and driven by justice.

I glanced at Valeriana, who also narrowed her eyes. I remembered how her Aunt had asked me to take care of her. That was the extent of my responsibility.

Turning back to Kael, I accepted his challenge. I knew that people would undoubtedly blame him for his foolishness.

"I accept"

As I confidently accepted Kael's challenge, I noticed the complicated emotions in the gazes of those around me. They seemed to doubt my chances, and with good reason – I, with my <Mana Transmutation> ability, was taking on a guy with the <Archangel Bloodline>.

We paid no heed to their skepticism and proceeded to the sparring hall. Since it was just a friendly match, I didn't see the need to go all out. Besides, my mood was already sour.

"Hey, Zendal, stop enhancing my body with mana," I instructed. I didn't think anyone in my class could withstand my punch right now, except for a select few.

My punch weight, in terms of my old world's measurements, was currently around 6500 pounds.

It wouldn't kill Kael due to his Bloodline, but considering they had all recently awakened, who knew how they'd react to the mana-enhanced blow? Mana didn't just boost my punch; it increased my overall body strength as well.

And at that moment, Against the dragon tooth, it reached a staggering 9000 pounds, causing my muscles to rupture from the overwhelming power.

So, even with the current restrictions, it should be around 1000 pounds.
