Bab 13: The student council's president
Time is one of our most precious resources. We have so little of it, and yet when we use it well, it can bring us great happiness and satisfaction. The way we use our time can therefore have a profound impact on our lives. It can make us more productive, help us meet new people, and even improve our relationships with our families and friends.

Crol was known to be one of the stronger first-year students of this generation. No one had ever managed to beat him, and because of that, he was respected and feared by others. Moreover, his background wasn't a joke either, making him the perfect individual to start bullying others.
He thought that he was superior to other people, so it was something natural to put the trashes back in their places.
So when one of those trashes made him pass out, not only he was shocked while being unconscious, but all the people who had witnessed the fight were also surprised beyond belief. No one had expected to see such a day coming. A day where Crol would have been outmatched by his opponent. An opponent that until yesterday, was the biggest trash that was known in the school. Useless trash at that.
Everyone knew more or less who was Haste. So they naturally also knew how weak he was. But they couldn't think like this anymore. Haste had fought Crol when he was surrounded by people who wouldn't have let him escape, and he win at that.
So after everyone understood what had happened, they all cheered for Haste.
"Haste you're the best!"
"How did you do that?"
"Were you hiding your strength all along?"
"It was amazing. You used your speed spell so well that I got new ideas!"
A lot of people came to Haste to talk to him. They had also all forgotten about Crol who was still unconscious on the ground.
And while all those people were asking questions to Haste or were sharing their amazement, the latter was relieved. 'I'm glad that they think it was just a spell boosting my speed. That means that they don't know I received a blessing and have time power.'
As he thought that, he managed to make his way out of all the crowd surrounding him. Only to stumble upon someone else.
It was a girl, 1m72 with long straight platinum-blond hair and sky-blue eyes. She had long legs and gentle curves. Her face was very pretty, even without any make-up. Making Haste wonder why this person wouldn't let him pass.
'Why do I have the impression that I already saw her somewhere?' He thought.
"Isn't she the student council's new president?" Someone said after seeing her facing Haste.
"Her name is Enna Aneum isn't it?" Someone else asked for confirmation. "She's a first-year student but still managed to be the student council's president. There's also a rumor saying she had a god-tier blessing. But no one knows who blessed her yet."
Haste could clearly hear the people chatting behind him since they weren't murmuring. He had the impression that he was the main character of a novel where the bystanders were introducing all-new important new characters, even when he didn't ask for it.
But he shrugged this thought away and said, "Can I help you?" to the student council president.
"Are you okay?" She answered his question with one of her own. "Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Haste hadn't expected this kind of answer. He didn't even know her, yet she seemed worried about him. However, after everything that had happened lately, he began to be a little paranoid. So he didn't let her question move him in any way.
"Thank you for your concern, but who are you?" Haste asked. All those who were behind him sucked a cold breath since Enna was known to be ruthless to people who were rude to her. And to their eyes, Haste had just been rude to her.
"Ah, my bad, let me introduce myself. I'm Enna Aneum, but just call me Enna. And you are..."
"Haste Laborde, nice to meet you," He finished for her, shook her hand, and walked away, making leaving everyone present mouths open, even Enna. It was the first time that someone was so indifferent toward her.
She was quite a beauty, and even though her family's influence wasn't as big as the Laborde family, they still managed to make themselves known in the world for their fruitful businesses. So she was used to people coming to her every day to ask many things. But seeing that, instead of frowning, she smiled. "He's indeed interesting," She said as she walked away too.
The next few hours passed in the blink of an eye. The professor came and didn't even ask what had happened here, making Haste glad that he decided to not wait for a professor since they would have just disregarded what had happened here, no matter what.
During those few hours, the first years students had to familiarize themselves with as many weapons as they could.
Haste had tried a spear, a bow, a dagger, a hammer, and so on. But in the end, he decided to go with a sword. Now he just needed to know which sword would be a better fit for him. A rapier, a katana, longsword and so on.
And during all the training, Haste could feel someone's eyes on him. It wasn't uncomfortable since there wasn't any bad intention coming from those eyes, but nonetheless, it was still annoying. And since Crol wasn't here, the only person who could watch his movements that much could only be Enna.
But since the bell announcing the end of the school day had rung, Haste quickly went out of the school premise. He was heading home to pick up his actual sword since he had forgotten to take it with him this morning, only to remember that Jil was waiting for him in the school parking once he reached home.
Haste cursed to himself before calling him.
"Jil, I'm sorry I forgot about our hunting session."
"No worries, but where are you right now?" Jil asked with a kind voice, making Haste relieved. He was still unsure about what Jil had told him this morning.
"At home. Do you want me to come back to school?"
"No need, it will be faster if I'm the one who comes,"
"Sure, I'm waiting for you in front of the gate then," Haste said before hanging up.
Haste didn't have to wait for long. Less than 10 minutes to be exact.
The brothers then walked toward the teleportation gate to go to the hunting zone that match Haste's level. Jil will only observe him today.
