NOVPUB"And with that said, I now ask the first-year Student leadership to come up on stage to give their welcome speech." A woman, who had introduced herself to be the Freshman Dean, said, garnering her applause as six students made their way up to the stage.
Sitting near the back of the auditorium, Aoni sighed softly as he propped his chin on his palm while using the armrest of his chair.
Honestly, it had been an agonizing hour of speeches from several staff members, and now he was expected to sit through another boring batch of talking before he'd be allowed to leave.
Not a single imporant topic had been covered apart from how to look up the yearly sylabus, so in his eyes all this orientation did was give him a sour taste as it was basically a bunch of pompus assholes patting themselves on the back.
Originally, he'd intended to take a nap in the back. Still, after seeing a student practically getting killed for doing the same thing earlier by one of the deans, he decided it wasn't the smartest idea, and popped open an energy drink to stay awake.
'I wonder how things are going back home,' Aoni mused while allowing his mind to wander toward Genovia.
When he left, the Garrison had been created, his summons were organized and given tasks, and things were relatively safe, relatively because his territory had expanded several times after his almost year of growth. Fortunately, since he hadn't manifested his fifth Star yet, the local monsters were contained.
Moving his eyes to the side, Aoni brought up his TD and used his hand to cover the faint smirk on his lips.

Honestly, it was A LOT, Stats through the roof, almost reaching the B-Rank, a slew of new passives, and most importantly, his grade was on the Outer Fill Step of Four-Star. Nine months in Genovia had been quite beneficial for Aoni.
To say he was a wolf in sheep's clothing would be the understatement of the year, especially when you looked at his Elementalized Energia.
Using that as an example, he could be considered a Supreme in the making, because 90% of his natural Energia was now Elementalized, something unheard of under 8th Tier Individuals.
Generally speaking, you'd be lucky to have 5-10% of your Energia Elementalized by the time you reach the 5th Star, yet due to the massive amount of killing he'd done, along with living in an Ice Energia rich enviorment had given Aoni something so powerful, that if he wanted to, wiping out anyone within 2 Grades of himself wouldn't take much effort.
That being said, while he could exibit the strength of a being say around A or S-Rank, they would in the end curbstomp the shit out of him due to their significantly higher stats and a never ending list of Passives or Techniques to draw from.
Still, being a C+ Individual at only 16 years old, put Aoni in a Tier could classify him as a Future Supreme…if he weren't worried about being killed by the corrupt groups hiding in the dark, that is.
To the outside world, he was a lackluster individual who would barely scrape by as a Mid-Tier Traveler. To Aoni, that was totally fine because the fewer eyes he had on him and his family, the better off they would all be.
**Applause**
'Fucking finally,' sitting up and pulling his hood down a bit more to cover his face, Aoni stood up with the rest of the student body before blending into the crowd and heading toward the shopping district, after all EFU was essentially a city with a population of over 200,000 people.

After hailing a cab and venturing into the unknown he'd only read about online, Aoni arrived at one of the five expansive malls, paid his fare, and went out exploring.
Blending in with the masses, he was able to window shop unhindered for some time; however, a problem soon crept into Aoni's mind, and that came in the form of his public identity.
A poor crafting student…
'Hey, is there any way to mask my bank account so that no one knows what I bought?' Aoni finally asked his AN after leaving the fifth store in a row empty-handed because he did not want to flaunt his wealth.
| Cost 85,000 Progress Points |
'…'
| The host needs to be aware of what they are asking |
'Of course, through progress anything is possible, SO LONG AS YOU HAVE THE MOOLAH TO DO IT, UGH, fine take my points you fucking gremlin,'
| 85,000 progress points have been deducted |
| Falsified and Untraceable Bank Account has been Created |
| Would the host like to transfer funds to this new Account from their black market account set up by Archie Thurston |
'Start with 50 million Crypto Dollars,'
| Transfer initiated |
| Masking bank transfer from Account ending in 117343 |
| Transfer complete, hacking Commu |
| Untraceable Bank Account will appear only when the host Wills |
'…you know, I really shouldn't be so amazed at how simple that was done, but then again, with how rich we are now, something like this should have been possible to begin with.' Aoni mused while returning to the last store, which had a bunch of resources he wanted to use for crafting on Genovia.
