Everyone Else Has a System

There are two major ways to enter into the Arcadia Academy.

First is a minimum strength requirement that you need to have in order to beat the test of the Orthodox method of examination. In this test, your agility, strength, intelligence, presence of mind, knowledge, etc. are tested, and a score is given based on how well you performed in the exams. It is also a competency-based examination where only the top 90 students are allowed to enter while the others are sent back.

The second way is to go with the Unorthodox method. Made for those who excelled in one field much more than anyone else could have known or seen. Perhaps there is a limit to the abilities in questions, as not all abilities are accepted. In this test, about 10 teachers test your limits in the ability which you registered.

…

"So, your name is Aidan Williamson?'' The teacher saw the nameplate before looking at me, and I nodded with a smile.

"And your Unorthodox ability is extreme knowledge about monsters?" One of the female teachers spoke as she looked at me with a really curious expression, and I nodded. I had selected the Unorthodox method of having knowledge about monsters because over the years, I had collected knowledge about monsters who had existed before the Cataclysm.

"Can you tell me why do you have possess knowledge?'' Before even proceeding to the questions and answers, one of the male teachers who had a prideful face looked at me and I smiled before speaking,"I had my reasons. Plus, there is also something that I am trying to find." They looked at me, before nodding at each other and then one of the teachers began questioning about monsters. I answered it all perfectly, without missing anything at all and they looked at me dumbfounded before one of them shouted,"Stop!! How? People haven't even advanced that far to know that many details about those monsters… some of them are even classified… how do you know that?"

There was a shocked expression on their faces and I smiled before speaking,"I figured it out while reading about those monsters. When I found out about their powers, I looked into their weaknesses, their evolutionary pathways, the habitat they lived in, how they lived, etc. One thing led to another, and I got what you are hearing about." They were flabbergasted by my knowledge and they kept asking questions one after another, and from the looks of it, they weren't taking my test anymore but satiating their own curiosity and knowledge pool.

'Talking with them about monsters… They too are really knowledgeable in their own subjects,' I too was taken aback with their profound knowledge in their respective subjects. Despite being limited by time itself, they actually figured out about the species that are going to come far in the future.

It took about an hour, but the talk was really interesting as we kept going more into detail about how different monsters can be killed by methods that no one else has ever thought of.

After some time passed, a man came in and everyone stood up with respect and a silence covered the whole area. Looking at the atmosphere, that guy must have a really high position in the Academy.

"I am going to take him," that man spoke, and the others were really shocked at this before I stood up and slowly walked toward the man who had just came. It wasn't really hard to figure out where I was being taken. As for being admitted into the Academy, I won't really need to worry about it, to be honest.

That man then nodded at me before we both began walking through the corridors. There were some people who passed us by, but nobody saw as if we didn't even exist. Perhaps it's this guy's ability?

We kept walking and walking without stopping and after about an hour of walking; we reached a desolate place, which looked like a garden. There was a small, withering tree in the distance, with orange leaves scattered on the ground below it. That man pointed in that direction and then vanished before my eyes.

Ignoring that man, I moved towards that tree and behind that tree, there was a girl writing something on a drawing board placed on the ground. That girl had orangish hair, matching that of those leaves on the tree. Her eyes were similar to her hair, and her hair reached down to her back 2 inches above her waist.

"Amelia Williamson?" I spoke with my eyes concentrated on her and she turned at me with a serious look. After analysing me for a few moments, she asked,"your name. Is it an alias or is there a meaning behind it?"

"Both, I guess,'' I said as I looked at her unchanging expression before speaking,"Aidan is dead. I have used this name to reach you-" -BOOOM!!!! I stopped her direct punch to my face, enhancing my hand to the best of my ability. Though, managed to stop her fist, mine was almost crushed.

"There is something you need to know about Aidan, though." Not minding her attack, I continued speaking as she jumped back while the surrounding air started swirling faster and faster before slowing down a little. Her eyes turned pure orange, and she spoke.

"Your next words might cost you your life, so be careful of what you speak."

"Sure. The monster that killed Aidan has retained Aidan's memories and is slowly transforming into Aidan. Someday in the future, he will transform into Aidan completely, but right now, he is just going through the process. He is searching for you in the Valley of the Dead and is trying his best to reach you. Is this worth enough?" I spoke and her eyes narrowed at me before she speaks,

"What if you are lying to me?"

"I know things that the common masses can't even fathom. I know almost everything about many things. Of course, that includes you, the Frozen Witch of Time, Principal of the Arcadia Academy, Miss Amelia Williamson. Want me to share them with you as well?" I spoke with a smirk before a calm expression forms on my face and I sigh before moving towards the dying tree.
