Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions - Chapter 361

“Our session ends here.”

With a joyful demeanour, the professor walked out of the classroom and disappeared. The students began to chatter and the class plunged into disarray.

Jonathan was still pondering over the memories as he leaned on the table. His eyes were focused on a tree a little away from the building as the leaves swayed right and left with wind.

It was then his ears picked up footsteps approaching him.

“You, what’s your name?”

The voice conveyed the arrogance and Jonathan deduced that this guy could be a ‘young master’ of some family.

“Jonathan.”

He replied without bothering to look at the person and a plan slammed on Jonathan’s table.

“You afraid to look at me? That’s right. You must be afraid to look at humans, slave.”

The entire class went silent as a specific word fell in their ears. The students were aghast as many covered their mouths in surprise.

“Say that again.”

Jonathan’s figure stood up from his seat and his eyes fell on the boy. The memories of the seasoned warrior Lee Shen who was able to contend Tubians and tame colossal beasts came up in his mind and Jonathan’s eyes emanated a vicious aura. It shuddered the boy at once and he unconsciously stepped back.

‘He can kill me.’

The boy was on the verge of wetting himself as he amassed the courage to walk away from him. The boy stormed out of the class and the class was silent as a cemetery.

Jonathan turned towards the window and sat as he shook his head in amusement. He was entertained by the fact that there will always be people who think of themselves above others.

But the classroom did not feel that way. The moment he stared into the very soul of that boy, a wave of killing intent swept across the room which made the students freeze. Their minds went blank as they were exposed to such an intense aura.

Within a few minutes, the class became empty. Since it was time for lunch, students have to go to their hostels to have the food.

Jonathan wasn’t feeling hungry yet he stood up. The bag was placed on his chair and he took out the water pouch from the bag. He placed it back in the bag after quenching his thirst.

A strange feeling enveloped Jonathan as he immersed himself in the evaluation of memories. It was difficult to believe but he embraced the matter of reincarnation. With fragmented knowledge from his past, he was yet to know about his aim.

“That’s it!”

It was then he remembered about the girl who asked the question about Qi and Mana. These keywords triggered his memory and he was left to suffer alone.

Jonathan thus decided to ask her about the information. Since she mentioned a book, he could borrow that book and might be able to learn more about the past of the planet.

But he temporarily pushed that matter to the back of his mind as a pale blue screen was opened in front of him.

‘The system.’

From the memories, he was able to know about the system in detail. When he came to know that the system is an overpowered assistant that helps one grow, he was ecstatic.

But…

There was nothing as shown in the memories.

‘Is it broke?’

Unlike his expectations, the blue screen only displayed his name, race and affinities. Jonathan stared at the screen for a whole minute and nothing happened.

The 12-inch square screen did not have any exquisite border or detailed description like in the memories.

/=========

Name: Jonathan

Race: Elf

Affinities: Stone (Nature)

=========/

The simple layout was easily comprehensible at a glance. There was nothing that needed a description and Jonathan dispersed the screen with his thought.

“Looks like I need to find out how it works.”

Jonathan walked out of the classroom as he decided to find out how this screen works. He was able to decipher that there is something wrong with the screen but he couldn’t find what it was.

Maybe it was fate’s prank, but the memories regarding the Essence and its deviant forms had already disappeared from his being. All he remembers are those two names.

“Mana, Qi.”

Walking down the aisle and to the ground floor, the bell rung and Jonathan was woken up from his train of thoughts. He quietly walked back to his class.

***

Within a few minutes, the class was bustling with noise. The students who just had their lunch was energetic and were talking and sharing about their affinities. Some had attribute affinity and demonstrated their feeble enhancements.

“WOWW!!”

The sudden exclamation caught everyone by surprise and the students turned to the source of the noise. Jonathan also was shocked and he turned around.

Gasps rose into the air as many students sucked in the air. The astonishment in the atmosphere was severe and Jonathan’s eyes went wide in bewilderment.

Miss Sabryna Colene was standing with a few girls around her and in her raised right hand was a weak flame dancing in its final moments. Though the flame was frail, Jonathan and all the students were stupefied to witness the incident.

“Oh my god, you have such high Fire affinity!”

“Gyaa…you’re so talented and bright!”

Within seconds, the girl was surrounded by praise and applause. The flame in her hand disappeared as she waved her hand in style. She had a proud smug as boys and girls alike admired her.

Jonathan then saw her eyes turning towards him. Her smug deepened and it was more like an arrogant grin. Jonathan couldn’t find the reason behind it as he noticed that her eyes were not aimed at him but on the girl next seat.

It was then he noticed the gloomy face of the neighbour. The chubby girl was silent and her head was down unlike the remaining class. A second later, he noticed tears dripping from her tight-shut eyes. They fell on her frock and then rolled down from the sight.

“Hey, are you okay?”
