Quinn looked at her students for a moment, she impulsively wanted to choose Orpheus for what she was about to do, but she quickly discarded this idea; the boy was too unusual. She might end up making fun of herself if she were to select him. So, she selected another student instead.


    ”Daneel,e forward.”


    In the end, she chooses Leon’s henchmen. Daneel stepped forward, he didn’t know what their teacher wanted to do, but he decided to use this opportunity to earn some points with Amber.


    Looking at her, he smiled, showing his white teeth. Unfortunately, Amberpletely ignored him and focused on their teacher.


    Daneel stood a few meters away from Quinn and waited for further instructions.


    ”I will show you an example of intent. Intent or will can make your attacks powerful and deadly when infused in them. Let’s me show you an example.”


    Lilith said as she stood face to face with Daneel. To illustrate her words, she unleashed her intent; suddenly, Daneel felt as if he was thrown into a bottomless pit full of ice.


    Jumping away in reflex, he looked with surprise at Quinn. There was a bit of fear mixed in. If someone were to check his back, they would be astonished to see it was covered in sweat.


    “This was killing intent. A rather simple trick, as things go. Though, some origin users have reached such a high level in this trick that they can actually kill or stun weak-willed people. But this isn’t all.”


    Waving her hand, all the grass around her was immediately cut.


    “By fusing the intent to cut with my origin, I obtained a de that cut anything. The stronger my intent, the stronger my de. Do not confuse emotions and intent. The intent is the will behind an action. A goal you set for yourself.”


    ”There are different types of intent, but for the moment, let’s focus on the simplest. You will learn to increase your attack’s sharpness and destructiveness with the most basic intent. You saw what I did. By the end of tomorrow night, your goal is to be able to cut grass in half. You pass if you seeded in cutting them in half as I did, you would even earn 20 credits as a reward.”


    The students’ eyes shone when they heard her words. They vowed to win those 20 credits at all costs, even though it wouldn’t be easy. They are the elites, the genius, after all. They could do that much if they put their hearts into it.


    As if she could see through them, Quinn advised.


    ”It’s good to be confident because of your talents; however, never let your talent go to your head. It would be best if you worked hard. Harder than anyone. A genius is terrifying, but a genius who works hard is a monster.”


    At the end of those words, a new hell began for them. It was way worse than the basic training to increase their Origin. She would ask them to infuse their intent into their weapons, but unfortunately, they failed, and as punishment, she ordered them to do a thousand shes; for those using a bow, she gave them a special bow using origin as an arrow. They had to fire a thousand arrows.


    Most of the students, except for a few (Orpheus, Lilith, Grim, Snow, Kaguya, the twins’ goddesses, Alvinia and Leon), failed, they thought it would be easy to clear this lesson, but unfortunately, it wasn’t the case.


    They failed to achieve a satisfactory result on their first day.


    In the evening, the other students managed to acquire the spirit perception skill, and they joined the other group to train.


    During the night, Quinn instructed them on different strategies for one VS one or one VS many situations.


    Many students understood why Quinn was the teacher most students desired, her lessons were simple to understand, and she would never waste her time on unnecessary things.


    Their fourth day passed, and arrived thest day. As usual, they went through hellish training; however, fortunately, in the end, most of them were able to infuse the most basic intent to their weapons; it was like you use origin to increase the sharpest of your weapon, like you’re giving pouring water into a dry well.


    ”Good, the result was more satisfactory than expected. It’s why I will reward the most outstanding student.”


    At the end of their training, Quinn stood before them and said. Everyone’s eyes focused on Orpheus, wondering what reward he would get.


    However, only Orpheus knew their teacher was targeting him; she wanted to prove something. He could more or less guess what she had in mind.


    For a new student, he was beyond exceptional; it was to the point that everything seemed too easy for him. For someone like that, you couldn’t help but be curious, wondering what kind of secrets he had.


    Orpheus was sure that the reward she was talking about wouldn’t be something she would give easily without a condition, and as expected, Quinn had a n in mind when she talked about reward. Her following words proved that he was right, assuming she wouldn’t easily hand over the reward.


    ”The reward is 100 credits, and to earn this, Kyle will have to fight me.” She announced. Those envying Orpheus felt pity for him as they believed he wouldn’t win.


    ”Kyle is a low-level 4, so I will limit my strength to the same level.”


    Immediately after saying those words, she sealed her strength to the same level as Orpheus.


    She continued. ”The rule is simple. If I seed in breaking your weapon or wounding you in a ce that should have been fatal, I win, and it’s your win if you break my sword or you make me drop it. It’s your win if you manage to put your sword against my neck.”


    ”I see. Let’s begin then.” Orpheus stood before her with his silver spear pointed forward.


    Quinn’s weapon was a slender sword.


    The two stood apart with everyone’s eyes gathered on them; the forest became quiet like the calm before the storm.


    Orpheus infused intent into his silver spear, making it sharper, while Quinn did the same thing. Her sword glowed in purple light.


    ‘Let’s not make things too big, or else I’ll be drawing too much attention.’ Orpheus sealed his strength to level 4 before looking at Quinn.


    They stared at each other’s eyes, their intent to fight clear in them.


    A smile lit up Quinn’s eyes as she took a step forward, and instantly, she appeared before Orpheus; he had to admit that her speed for a low-level 4 was remarkable.


    Quinn, who appeared before Orpheus, instantly kicked him in the stomach, but he blocked with his spear.


    Using this moment, he stopped her blow; she twirled on herself and used the centrifugal force to bring her sword even faster at him.


    Boom!!


    Orpheus dodged, and the swordnded a air breath from him, creating a small crater on the ground.


    Fusing the Wind and the lightning intent into his spear, he thrust it forward in a single thrust; however, in reality, five thrusts were executed.


    Quinn was shocked by this; she had never taught them this method, but strangely Orpheus was able toe up with this method; it was too surprising.


    ‘Indeed a monster, but it won’t be easy to take me down.’


    Quinn released her killing intent locking Orpheus in ce while she appeared before him and punched him in the stomach; her punch was infused with intent making it powerful, like a metal glove.


    Bang!


    Orpheus was sent flying by the kick, but he shifted his body mid-air, kicking Quinn flying. She hadn’t expected such a quick counterattack as it was challenging to maneuver one’s body midair without support; however, Orpheus was able to do that.


    ‘As I thought, you’re incredible, but if it’s only this much, you can’t win.’


    Swoosh! Bang! Bang! ngs !!!!


    The two shed, again and again, using their physics; the result was a draw.


    They were now face to face. They were so close, they could feel their breath. The two decided to end the fight. Quinn decided to use her strongest skill avable for this level while Orpheus, well, he decided to have fun.


    ”Teacher! Looking at you from a close range, you’re indeed a great beauty.”


    Silence descended on the forest. The other student’s jaws almost hit the ground; they couldn’t believe what they had just heard.


    Quinn was gobsmacked.


    ”What?” She eximed.


    ”So cute,” Orpheus added, further confusing her.


    Using this opportunity, he kicked her in the stomach like she did, since he was all for equal treatment between men and women. He grabbed her feet as she was about to fly away and brought her down hard on the ground.


    BOOM!


    “Gah?!”


    She mmed against the ground, making her almost vomit.


    This wasn’t enough to break her defense, but since she was still a little stunned, he immediately sat on her and put his sword against her throat.


    “It’s my win.”
