Chapter 2 - #### Classification (Patreon)

"The last one is #### Classification. It specialises in MAQauinraa, things like SWTpieelcllhlpnsoiwqeures."

Nova felt like his brain had a seizure, but his ears never lied to him so far...

'Is it distorted because my understanding is lacking, or the last Classification is too broad?' Nova used his brain capacity and eavesdropped again.

"Magic?! How cool is that!?"

"Techniques?! Will I become Immortal?!"

"Who cares about those?! Aura is the way!"

Nova had an awful headache, but he now understood a lot more about this place.

Since the melee and ranged were simple, it could be summed easily, but since the last one was too broad, and he read too much about it in novels, then those words became a jumbled mess. It also didn't help that his brain was not working properly.

'The first one is...' Nova overclocked his brain. 'Mana, Aura, Qi.'

He was bleeding quite badly, so he decided to sit down until this whole thing was over.

'The other one is... Spells, Willpower, Techniques.' Nova felt like passing out, but this place would not allow it, which was working in his favour. He would be able to gather all the information he needed, without dying. This would also allow him to choose his path more effectively, since he would have more information than others.

"As you can see, each Classification is very different and you can't use the weapons from other Classifications." The 'Angel' kept explaining, but for some reason, she was staring right at Nova with a creepy smile. "For example, if you choose the Melee Classification, you won't be able to use bows, guns, and other ranged weapons." The 'Angel' chuckled darkly. 'With this, most will pick Melee. It's the safest and easiest one. That will make them survive longer and the harvest will be plentiful.'

The 'Angel' paused and waited. It seemed like it was giving everyone time to think this through.

The 'Angel' kept gazing at Nova and she mouthed at him. 'I told you that you would regret your decision.' She then smirked at him.

Nova was now sure that this 'being' was a complete fraud. It might be possible that she was the one that he talked to before, when he surrendered his memories about people, but that didn't mean she was any smarter than that other being.

'I chose to overuse my brain to gather information, but it seems like it was misunderstood.' Nova narrowed his eyes. This was a good thing, since it seems like only he understood how terrifying this trait of his is.

While yes, this condition of his was a curse, but! If he managed it properly it was quite a powerful blessing! He didn't believe for a moment that the 'Angel' knew anything about his condition from her actions and reactions.

That was naturally in his favour. He knew how powerful it could become with the proper tools. They would definitely not sit and watch as his trait got even more powerful!

'This will break the balance...'

...

"Now I will show you how each Classification works in combat." The 'Angel' said 'gently'.

The first one was the Melee Classification and the first demonstration was sword and shield.

It showed a soldier that was blocking incoming arrows, while at the same time fighting with his sword.

It was a pretty basic demonstration that didn't show anything exceptional, but that all changed with the next one.

The next one was about a guy with just a sword. Most would believe that he would have a harder time, but he was using some kind of energy around his sword, making him better at both defence and offence.

It was truly shocking what that slight change could create.

You had a swordsman that was shooting energy beams out of his sword. A whip user could ignite their whip, causing severe burns. Crescent Moon Sword that pulled in all his enemies before exploding.

Needless to say, everyone was captivated, except a few individuals.

'The first one is fine as long as nothing can penetrate that wooden shield or as long as your enemy doesn't use blunt weapons. The second was quite shocking, but it looked like it was quite taxing on stamina, so you only have a few seconds of fame and glory. The third one is pretty much the nerfed version of the previous one. The next one is quite useful as long as your whip doesn't get caught on anything or your enemy is not wearing armour. The last one leaves you completely open to being attacked by anyone outside the range of your influence.' Nova's brain vomited these explanations quite quickly and he could only shake his head.

His bleeding stopped now. He was not using it as excessively as before, so a certain group of people returned to their previous positions.

That naturally included Tom and Sabrina.

Tom was quite the fit blond guy, but his unlikeable expression pretty much ruined the whole package.

They all wore casual school clothing, but since there was no dress code, most of them wore haughty clothing.

"Seriously, you always taint everything with your shit." Tom clicked his tongue disdainfully. 'Look at your dumb expression, do you think that anyone would pity you? Hah! Dream on, bastard!' He snorted at him.

Nova did not say anything. He believed that they were sick in the head and since he didn't want to catch that disease, it's better to engage with them...

"Did he perhaps surrender his memories?" Tom tilted his head and smirked. "What a loser!" He was laughing in glee inside his mind. 'That means that he doesn't know anything about what happened previously!' He was making a mental plan to make use of this.

Nova ignored those people and gathered the rest of the information from the 'Angel'.

"Tsk. Look at him obsessed with that Angel." Tom snorted, but inside his mind; he smiled happily. 'Yes, keep staring at her like that, so that our class beauties are even more repulsed with you!;

"She is out of your league! So snap out of it, corn-face!" Tom didn't believe that Nova was aiming for the Angel, but he had to make sure that he wouldn't even dream of it. 'If it wasn't for that restriction, I would already break your arms, so that you wouldn't even dream of using them to touch that beautiful Angel!'

The 'Angel' showed the next Classification.

It introduced a simple bow with arrows. A normal person shot those arrows and it was not all that impressive.

Then it came to guns and since this was not a normal world, their calibre was a lot more ridiculous than in real life.

A simple handgun that was more powerful than .50 cal, but was also fully automatic.

You can already imagine the ridiculous destruction it caused to its surroundings and 'test targets'.

There were also bazookas and artillery, but those things were self-explanatory, since they pretty much dropped small nukes on their enemies.

Nova... was not impressed. 'Even if we ignore the cost of that ammunition, it would still be impossible for me to wield. A .50 Calibre rifle already kicks like a horse and that is not fully automatic, but what about a pistol that doesn't have proper shoulder support? I would lose all my fingers with one pull.' He was very rational when it came to his body's limitations.

The demonstration stopped there and Nova had a lot more questions.

'If there is some kind of sword energy, why don't the bows and arrows have the same? You already had a whip that could ignite, but not arrows?' Nova narrowed his eyes. 'Something isn't right about this whole demonstration...'

The 'Angel' would not wait for him to analyse it completely and went on to the last group, which almost caused Nova a seizure.

'It's because the last group is too broad that the whole image is distorted!' Nova scoffed. He already noticed a swordsman with glowing sword, a bow user with shining arrows, a wand user, and a thin-gun user, among many others in that single demonstration that were overlapping over each other!

'Is it possible that because the other Classification can't use Mana and stuff that the last Classification uses, it does less damage or like, it's restricted in some kind of way?' Nova narrowed his eyes. This situation was bothering him greatly.

If everyone thought about it carefully, the other Classifications were utterly useless since you could gain most of those things in the last Classification, but...

"The last one is not as impressive as the others..."

"The casting takes ages and you are vulnerable..."

"The consumption of resources must be crazy too..."

For some reason, most thought that it was a useless Classification.

"I don't like the last one." Sabrina frowned. 'I don't want to protect him from enemies. He is a guy, so he is supposed to stand in front of me and tank everything for me!' Sabrina nodded at her flawless logic. Her delusions only deepened, which was quite scary.

"The last one is truly for wimps." Tom chuckled. 'I hope he picks it, so I can bully him. It's obvious that the best one is the first Classification!'

"I will have a field harvest against those Classifications!" Tom rubbed his hands while looking at Nova. 'Just you wait, bastard! I will properly mess you up!' He had his little delusions that everyone who got attention from females was his mortal enemy...

"I think the last one would suit a wimp like you." Tom roughly patted Nova's back. 'Now go for it, so that you lose even the last person that is on your side.' He smiled with glee.

Nova rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything. He felt like their disease was getting worse and worse, so he was unwilling to get close to them...

"Tsk." Tom clicked his tongue. "I can't believe you submitted your memories." He was truly sad about it. He wished that Nova would remember every time he was bullied, but it seems like this bastard chose the easy way out...

...

'On the other hand, I'm quite happy.' Nova felt oddly light and not afraid of those clowns, which was a good thing. He felt... liberated, especially so when he saw their distorted expressions!

"When will you stop harassing him?" Another girl joined their little 'party'. 'I can't believe that they continue it even here.' She was truly disgusted by their behaviour.

"Nina, babe." Tom spread his arms, wanting to hug her, but she dodged out of the way. 'Tsk. Do you believe that if your father was not the Manager of a large investor group, I would spend any energy on you?!' He clicked his tongue. 'You should be happy that you got my attention!'

"I'm not your babe! Nor is any other girl from our class!" Nina glared at him. 'This delusional prick harasses anyone that needs help.'

She was a black-haired girl with a picturesque face. Her body was slim and she was not afraid to show it, unlike Sabrina.

"Are you alright?" Nina asked with concern. 'I hope he is doing alright. I do not wish for him to take his own life like many did before...'

Nova observed her for a while and then her hand. It was the first time that he felt this genuine worry. 'What a strange situation.' He couldn't understand why she was treating him so differently...

"I'm fine." Nova answered shortly.

"Did you surrender your memories?" Nina asked while leaning in. Her body was slim, so she was able to highlight quite a lot of 'things'. 'Did it become so bad that he could only surrender his memories?' She was disheartened that it came to that.

"I might've." Nova answered, since he quite liked her attitude. 'What's up with her? She seems to care about me a great deal.' He could not understand her after he saw that sick duo.

"I can't blame ya." Nina sighed. 'It's better that you remember.' She gently caressed his arm.

'What a nice girl.' Nova nodded gently. He quite liked her. She didn't dismiss him or insult him.

"What will you go for?" Nina asked with curiosity. 'She wanted to assist him if possible.'

"Since you have lost memories, you must have a unique look at things." Nina narrowed her eyes. 'Maybe we could assist each other. That way, my group wouldn't need to care about Tom and his lackeys.'

Nova noticed that he was not the only one who observed others. It seemed like Nina was likewise observing and came to a possibly similar conclusion.

Unfortunately, this was just his imagination as others were more wary about their surroundings than their current condition...

I will place a few more chapters since I have a lot of work to do. I need to create 'half' chapter for this story and recreate the system that you just saw in that picture for Aiko's story and that will take quite a lot of time x]
