Chapter 3: Becoming stronger
One day after another two weeks passed, making it in total of one month since he found himself in this new, and bizarre place.
Without doing anything different, nothing much changed. Lora being in his presence made him even more avoided by people.

Sitting on his chair Gorn analyzed his gains from the past two weeks. Lifting his legs on the desk, he adopted his favorite position. The amount of power that he currently had was something he never imagined he would obtain.
Since he was close to Lora every day, even exchanging a few words occasionally, certain rumors started to spread throughout the school. There were quite a few more minutes until class started when a loud bang resounded throughout the entire classroom. A new figure entered their class. Green hair, short stature, and a face full of freckles.

"Where is that motherfucker?!"
With great anger that person walked towards him and Lora.
"You are my fiance, why are you so familiar with another man?!"
Lora's veins started to bulge.
"Stop calling me that!"
Gorn glanced at Lora and then at the midget in front of them, whose height was not higher than him standing on the chair. It all made sense now.
'So this is why she was so angry all this time, understandable....'
Looking at that man's face Gorn couldn't help himself but laugh out loud.
"Bwahahahahaha!"
He didn't hold back his laughter in the slightest. At this point, everyone around him considered Gorn somewhat of a lunatic so they weren't that surprised.
"Why are you laughing like an idiot?!" asked Lora's fiance.
Gorn got up, passed by Lora, and stood in front of that man. The height difference was so big that it was almost like a full-grown man standing in front of a child. Since the intruder was adamant in making things difficult for him, Gorn chose to retaliate this time.
"Can't you see we stay all day together? She is clearly not your fiance, but my woman!"
Turning his head towards Lora, Gorn winked with a mischievous smile. Lora was at a loss for words. Soon, the man raised his hand to slap Gorn in the face.
"Hey, look out!" yelled Lora towards Gorn.
Gorn easily avoided the strike, and gave the midget a good slap of his own, sending him over ten meters away. His body was still, not moving at all, a clear sign he was already in the dream world.
Total silence.
Gorn jumped in place several times while looking at his classmates that were present: "Time for all of you fuckers to suffer a little."
Like a ghost descending from hell, Gorn started to beat the shit out of everyone who talked nonsense about him. Thanks to his control skill, and knowledge of everyone's current power level, he used just the right amount of force. Without these factors he could have easily killed a few of them, taking into consideration the fact that his power was only recently acquired.
In but a few minutes almost everyone was sprawled across the floor, groaning in pain. Gorn jumped and arrived in front of Lora yet again.
"Initially I wanted to beat the shit out of you too, but you've been quite nice to me these days so I'll let you off the hook this time."
Taking a seat again Gorn started to whistle happily. Except for Sara, the principal, and a few other couple teachers, no one could pose a threat to him inside the school. And even that was only temporary.
'His family should have wealth, and some form of authority, however, I have potential and raw power.'
Gorn had certain plans for the city. Even though he acted a little sooner than expected, it was not a big deal.
"By the way, when I go outside the city to explore, would you like to come with me?" asked Gorn being just curious, and nothing much.
Lora was still flabbergasted by what happened.
"I..."
At this time, Sara stepped inside the classroom.
"What happened here?"
As a teacher, you wouldn't see such a sight every day. Gorn got up and greeted Sara respectfully.
"Hello, teacher. It was me who beat all of them."
Sara quickly analyzed the situation. Judging by Lora's expression and known prowess she couldn't be the one, much less Gorn. Then who was the culprit?
"And why did you do that?"
"The green midget wanted to attack me first. As for the rest, it was high time I rewarded them for trash-talking me all this time."
The most bizarre, and puzzling thing was not why but how was he able to do it, since not that long ago he was practically at the bottom of the ladder. Not waiting for his teacher to ask any other question Gorn said:
"Actually, for some reason, I became a genius. I can improve very fast, and also awaken an ability."
'Bullshit!' thought Sara.
Raising his hand Gorn focused his energy and created a huge fireball. The force of a spell was closely related to one's power level. Sensing such a powerful aura from that fire, was more than enough proof that Gorn was capable of defeating everyone.
As a matter of fact, this thing was not impossible, and very rarely someone would awaken strange powers, and improve very quickly. Finding such people was the school's purpose after all. Despite all that, such an incredible, and sudden growth spike was something Sara had not encountered before.
Gorn canceled his fireball, and continued: "I feel like this is still not my limit, however, at this point, I require a powerful backer to avoid certain troubles; would you like to be that person, teacher?"
Yet again, the situation took an unexpected turn.
As the daughter of the city lord, Sara had a great deal of authority and power. Being under her wing would result in having a great backer.
"Do you have other skills besides the fireball?" asked Sara while being in deep thought.
"No, just this one."
"What about your exact power level, I believe you tested it in secrecy right?"
"Yes, I did, it's around three hundred and fifty."
Telling her the whole truth would not be wise, so he lied. Sara shook her head.
"I'll be honest with you. Your speed of improvement is extremely fast, but your current level is still not sufficient enough to be considered among the best in this city. If you can reach a power level of over six hundred anytime during these three years of school, I'll take you under my and the city lord's care, and protection."
She also had a time of fast growth at the beginning, however, that lasted only for a short period. The higher she got the harder, and slower it became to improve, even with different kinds of special resources that she did not lack.
"I understand," said Gorn, slightly disappointed.
'You don't want to take any risks, I understand that, but if you don't risk, you don't get to drink champagne,' thought Gorn.
"Even though I can't take you directly under the city lord's faction right now, I'll still support you. I'll go right now to talk with the school director to offer you a special scholarship, and status that only very few people from this school receive. In addition, I'll also talk with the infirmary director to take care of this situation for you free of charge."
Even if it wasn't the best outcome, Gorn was still satisfied. Her honesty was also something to be appreciated.
"Thank you very much!"
Sara smiled, and before leaving she added: "You two can take the day off. Go and have some fun until tomorrow."
