The 3 of them looked stunned. It seems they can't quite process how I went from nearly killing Brian (which was an accident) to smiling this brightly.

  "And, is there something else?"

  "Yo-you, are you... what?"

  He appears to have finally regained his witts but he still doesn't properly understand what I want.

  "I asked you if there was still something else that you wanted?"

  This time around he appears to have understood it. However, he didn't say anything. He just went pale, turned around and attempted to leave.

  "By the way, I am Mark."

  I gave him this little comment on his way out.

  He turned his head as a reaction and looked at me with pure rage in his eyes and opened his mouth before closing it again, not daring to say something.

  I looked at his back as he walked down the hallway and felt some satisfaction. Now he will hopefully shut up and stop bothering me every day.

  Now that this is resolved I return to my classroom. Inside, not much has changed. The mood was still a bit tense and the girls looked at me with fear.

  Probably because they sold me out and it looked like I was ready to seriously injure Brian. So who guarantees I won't do that to them. Well, I won't do that. I only lost myself for a moment.

  Now how do I explain this to them?

  "..."

  "..."

  It turned into a little staring contest as I had no idea what I should say in this situation. I mean what can I say in the first place?

  Because it didn't seem like I could do anything right now I decided to let them sort it out themselves. I just returned to my seat and sat down, ignoring their stares.

  After a while, it seemed like they calmed down a bit. The boys began quiet conversations and also the girls calmed down but they still stole some glances at me to see if I would react or do something.

  Maurice looked like he wanted to talk a bit with me but in the end, decided against it.

  I just sat there and tried to keep my emotions under control while trying to grab some of my school stuff without slicing it apart.

  It didn't work though.

  In the end, I gave up and didn't try anymore as I didn't want to destroy even more of my school stuff.

  From time to time some of the unconscious students woke up. They quickly noticed the suffocating mood surrounding me and started talking with the others.

  I noticed that from time to some of them would steal glances at me or even stare at me quite obviously. Apparently, the fact that I am supposed to be Mark drew some of their attention.

  Only when more than half of the class was awake did some have the courage to approach me.

  "Hey, are you really Mark, that Mark?"

  One of the few others I got along with, Steve asked me finally.

  Steve was a very nice guy. He was nice to anyone who didn't give him a reason not to be nice. He was also very accepting and didn't think much of it when someone had some more special interests. Because of that we had no problem with each other and got along but it wasn't enough to call him a close friend.

  His appearance hadn't changed all that much. Before he had short light brown hair and brown eyes. His face also was normal and not very special or all that handsome. While his height was a bit under 1,80m, somewhere around 1,75m maybe. He wasn't fat but also didn't really do much sport.

  And in the core, that hasn't changed. His face was mostly the same, just a bit more refined features and he was a bit taller while having some muscles. They were more on the subtle side though.

  "Yes I am and if you don't believe me ask me whatever question you want. Also, what do you mean by that Mark?"

  "Nothing, nothing important. And I believe that it is possible that you are Mark."

  Possible? So I still have to prove it, huh.

  After that, he seemed to be somewhat satisfied and went away.

  I just continued to be alone for a while.

  ...

  Skipping about 10 minutes forward the last of our classmates woke up. The classroom was quite noisy by now and most bragged about their new powers or their new appearance.

  However, in the next moment, everyone was silent and just stared in "empty" air.

  Some don't know what a status is. However, these are mostly the ones who usually don't play games.

  I know what a status is so I quickly opened it.

  [Status]

  Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

  Your typical status screen, huh.

  Mmh...

  In conclusion, strength, vitality and agility are the ones who changed the most. but why did the intelligence and dexterity not improve?

  I have to do it again? Well, who cares, gimme that status!
