While speaking to the students, Mr lee had his eyes focoused on five students, Kevin, Azreal, Serena, sairose and Zaire. He was aware that there were at the very least four students important in class, the principal had mentioned it to him, but he was surprised Zaire had noticed him, even if it was by a bit. Though invisibility was not part of his skill set, he often used invisibility potions to get around in his missions, for a student to find out where he was even if he was just standing still already deserved a standing ovation in his opinion.
But if he remembered correctly.. Zaire was only ranked 150/200. With his exam and physical scores being.. average at best.
Ignoring those thoughts, he continued.
:" form groups of… five, these will be your main groups till the next half of the year"
Upon saying this, many students immediately grouped together.

"Most groups are formed and he's still there alone?" Kevin thought to himself.
He was unfamiliar with Zaire and even freaked out due to the blue screen he saw that day.
**
"What..?"
"What are you standing around here for?" The security guard next to him asked
Kevin apologized and immediately walked away, but his face was ridden with an unknown emotion.
"Tsk tough life.. probably got extorted by the principal or something" the security guard thought"
Kevin sat on the bench nearby looking at the blue screen
Mission: meet demigod of lies (accomplished)
Award: know greatest friend/foe (claimed)
Below was a picture of a handsome blond boy with shining blue eyes
The greatest friend/foe.. was Zaire?
**
(Kevin took a deep sigh)
At first, he had assumed it meant the greatest friend or the greatest foe he would fight, but after getting that screen, he realised something much different.
Whatever this system was, it knew a future, even.. multiple futures, and Zaire would either be one of his greatest allies, or.. his greatest foe.
Kevin stood up
Sairose:" Kevin?"
Azreal:"hey where re you going..?"
Kevin didn't respond to those words and walked forwards Zaire
Zaire simply turned to him, wondering what he would ask
Kevin reached out for a handshake
"Would you.. like to team up with us?"
Looking at him, Zaire simply let out a smile and accepted the handshake.
"Of course!"
Though Kevin was also smiling, there was no smile in his eyes
He was watching him.

Zaire pov:
Who would've thought, the target of my monitoring mission would walk up to me and even offer me to be on his team. I originally planned to act as a loner than as a loner, escape from whatever team I was in to watch him but it turns out god does have favorites! Maybe it felt bad after what *** did to me!
Of course, I shouldn't let my guard down just yet, if there's one thing I know, it's that life isn't easy. Add that to his face, which had a fake smile, it either meant he was monitoring me too. Of course, i won't let this chance slide. If he finds me out I'll just pretend I died and come with a different identity.. though I don't exactly have much identities to chose from.. I only have this one.
Mr lee seemed to be pleased after we all formed out teams.
"Glad to see there's no social outcast here in our class"
Haha… yea!
Soon, we all sat in our groups, and Mr lee continued speaking.
:" what do you all think is the greatest thing a hero can have? Strength? Kindness? Empathy? Well they're all wrong. The strongest virtue is resillience. If you guys are interested in an example, here is one"
He clicked on his laptop and a point power slide appeared, showing a lady with dark blond hair and light blue eyes, smiling.
Upon seeing that image, my face immediately stiffened.
"Mrs Layla tan" Mr lee announced to the class
