Chapter 58 Second year
It was finally the next day, the day for their first classes as second years. The day they will be a full fledged second year. Overnight, the roommates had already chosen the clubs they wanted to attend. With Jake already sending the Hand to hand combat club option to the school, Kate decided to go for the Healing Arts club which will take place in the academy's clinic.
Sophia chose battle strategy club, Peter chose Martial Arts club together with Jack while Vynn chose the Survival skills club they didn't know about Cindy since she doesn't stay in their room. So after a few more discussions last night, they finally went to sleep and now it was finally the day they had been waiting for.
Jake woke up early as usual and slipped quietly out of the room to head over to the second year gym. He inputted the code given to them, went inside and started his daily quest. The gym was mostly like the one in the first year side of the wing but with more equipment.
After an hour of working out, Jake finally decided to take a break and glance at his status screen.

Jake sighed. "It's been a long time coming huh zee?"
"Indeed it is." Zee replied.
"I can't believe that once upon a time, this screen displayed my stats as being low. As in, my strength was in number 20 and now it's in 49 but I just have a feeling that it isn't enough. I mean who knows, I don't think I'm still strong enough to defeat a werewolf." Jake said.
"Although, I'm pretty sure I can handle a runt."
"Just like I told you once before, patience. If you are patient enough, I'm sure you will grow stronger and look like you did and yes I know it isn't enough but it's still an improvement." Zee said.
"You know, when I first met you, I was upset about having a voice in my head following me around and watching all of my moves. I even hated you for the fact that you kept telling me to be patient when I wanted to grow stronger." Jake laughed.
"But over the year, I grew fond of you. Sometimes the way you scold me, reminds me of my dad. Probably that Is the reason I even hated you because I didn't want anyone to replace my dad or take his role. But I think I have accepted my fate and I don't hate you anymore."
"Wow! That's quite emotional. Although I will pretend like I didn't know earlier about you hating me. But I have always liked you and I will continue to help you grow stronger in order to defeat your foe. That's my promise Jake."
Jake smiled and decided to stand up to pack up and head to his room. "You know, the way you talk sometimes makes me feel like you are a human and not an AI."
'Yeah I guess. I just wonder how you will feel when you know the truth.' Zee thought in the part of his mind that Jake couldn't access.
"Did you say something?" Jake asked as he was already closing the door to the gym.
"No I didn't." Zee replied.
Jake then just shrugged and started heading back to his dorm. "I guess I'm just hearing things then."
After a few minutes of walking, Jake finally got to his dorm room. His roommates were already awake while Jack was in the bathroom taking his bath. After an hour, the whole room were ready for the day. When it was 7:50am, they went to the canteen to take their breakfast.
When it was 8:50am, they headed to their homeroom class. Getting in, they all took their seats. Jake, Peter and Vynn sat together at the back. While Kate and Sophia sat together in front and Jack was sitting on his own somewhere else.
And slowly as the time ticked, the class was now getting full with students coming in but it wasn't like before, because some of the students had dropped out of the academy due to the toughness. The class was now half the size it used to be in the first year. When it was 9am, the doors to the class opened up and their new instructor stepped in.
With a clean and neat uniform, standing 8ft tall with glasses on his face and his blonde hair neatly swept back, instructor Jim stepped in. "Good morning students."
"Good morning sir." The students replied.
"I'm so glad to see new faces here. Anyway, my name is Instructor Jim and am going to be your homeroom teacher in your second year in this academy." Jim smiled. After introducing himself, Jim decided to start the class.
"This dude is the opposite of Instructor Thompson." Peter whispered to Jake and Vynn.
"Yeah he is smiling a lot while Thompson kept his face straight no smile on it." Vynn replied. "It will surely take some getting used to."
They now kept quiet to listen to Jim's class. After teaching for a few minutes, Jim decided to say something. "Do any of you know why your power level was cancelled and now replaced with rankings?"
They all didn't answer because they were also confused when they cancelled.
"It isn't cancelled in the whole academy. The power level will be used in your first year while the rankings will be used from your second year till you are out of the academy and the reason is because,"
"When you are in your second year, there will be a school tournament between you guys and the third years." Jim smiled.
The students were all visibly surprised including Jake and his friends. "So the reason why I'm telling you guys is because I want you all to work hard and not disgrace yourselves. And also, after learning the basics of Qi, you will all be allowed to hunt once a week aside from the normal one week hunt."
Immediately Jim finished talking, his watch beeped loudly. "Oh there's my time. See you all tomorrow again. Now class is dismissed, head to your next class."
Jim smiled and the students headed out of the class for their weapons class. But Jake had a thought on his mind.
'If what Jim said is true, then there's a chance of me facing Sebastian's elder brother; Harry.' Jake smiled. 'Now, I have to grow much more stronger to pay him back for hurting me and my friends.'
