Strongest Superhuman System

The headmaster was wearing an immaculate white suit that blended brilliantly with his white hair, and he stood tall and proud while staring imposingly at the mass of students below him. None dared to meet his eyes as his gaze swept over them, and when he spoke, more than half the students there shivered in fright.

"Deplorable. That is the only word I can use to quantify the actions I have witnessed among the students of this prestigious school this morning alone. You are all high members of society who are looked up to by other schools as the best in the city; is it really that easy for you to lose your senses?"

There was a girl standing behind the headmaster with her head held high, and Mark recognized her as the vice president of the student council, Maria. She was considered one of the most outstanding students in the school as well as the second-highest-ranking student in their grade after Arit. She was a beautiful girl with red hair and black piercing eyes.

She had a modest bust that pushed against her neatly ironed school uniform tightly, and her skirt stopped just above her knees, leaving her long milky white legs on display. Her slightly haughty and dismissive attitude made her seem like an Ice Queen, and Mark knew that many students in the school did not like her because she always tried to make sure the school rules were upheld.

She did not mind stepping on toes or reprimanding people openly and embarrassingly just to make sure they did what she thought was the right thing. The only time Mark had seen Maria lose her cool was when the results of their final exams came out last semester and she saw that she lost to Arit.

Arit was just a new transfer student at that time, so it was a shock to Maria that she lost her top-ranking spot.

The scream of shock that Maria released that day could be heard all the way from the other side of the school! Mark was sleeping in the infirmary and hiding from Arit when he heard the shout, and he bolted to his feet thinking that there was an Anima attack in the school! When he heard what happened later, he couldn't stop himself from laughing his ass off!

From the way she was standing behind the headmaster, it was obvious to Mark that she was the one who went to call on him and reported what was happening in front of the school. Her eyes turned to catch Mark's gaze, and Mark gave her a nod in greeting. A small blush crept up her cheek for a moment, but she quickly frowned and killed it before turning away from him with a small huff.

Mark raised a brow at her reaction, but he didn't let it bother him as he turned back to the headmaster as he continued berating the students with his words.

"Acting like foolish animals in heat who have never seen a member of the opposite sex before is childish and unbecoming of the members of this school, and every single one of you should be expecting letters written to your parents depicting what you have done here today."

The headmaster glanced across the schoolyard for a moment before he quickly shouted in a loud voice,

"And why are you all still standing here!? To class! Now!"

The students all scrambled away as they quickly cleared out from the courtyard and started making their way back to class! They all feared the headmaster because of how strict he was! The headmaster was seen as the highest authority in this school, and he had the power to expel students without facing any repercussions, so they knew that they would be in real trouble if they defied him.

Even their parents' money wouldn't help them unless they were the children of rich powerhouses like Francis Colton.

Once the students had cleared out enough and there were only a few stragglers left around, the headmaster turned towards Mark with a wide smile on his face as he spoke kindly.

"Mr. Vanitas, it is a pleasure to see you back in school safe and sound. Please, can I have a talk with you? In private."

The headmaster gestured towards his office, and Mark sighed as he turned to Arit and told her that he would be back soon.

"You better come to class."

Arit glared up at Mark as she warned him not to play hooky. She knew that without her there, there was a very high chance that Mark would simply ignore the class and just find somewhere to flee again. Mark just grinned at her before he leaned down and kissed her on top of her head. Arit's entire face flushed as she gripped her bag tightly and began to move around the headmaster to get to class.

"It is a pleasure to see you as well, Miss Arit, and I am eternally grateful for your safe return. But I do hope you kept up with your studies even as you stayed at home to recuperate."

"Y-Yes, headmaster."

Arit nodded and answered in a quiet voice as she passed beside Maria. Arit turned to look at Maria as she felt eyes on her, and she saw Maria glaring at her with intense hatred. Arit was already used to this. She knew that Maria hated her for taking the position of top student away from her, but Arit couldn't care less as she just passed Maria and made her way to class.

The headmaster turned back to Mark, and he caught Mark staring hard at Arit as she walked away. No, he is not staring at her; he is staring at her behind. How ungentlemanly. The headmaster coughed into his closed fist to get Mark's attention, and Mark slowly turned away from Arit's behind and back to the older man.

Mark hummed innocently in response, and the headmaster raised a brow at the sheer audacity of the boy in front of him. He doesn't even show remorse at being caught? Well, I suppose the rumors about him being hard to deal with have some merit.

"My office, Mr. Vanitas."

Mark nodded and followed the headmaster to his office. The trip to the office was met with varied reactions from the students in the corridors. Many of them were moments away from trying to run and meet Mark, but a simple glare from the headmaster forced them to calm down and comport themselves. Mark knew that if not for the headmaster, he would have been swarmed by students again.

They reached the headmaster's office, and the headmaster turned.

"Please wait out here, Maria. Or rather, simply go to class. I believe we have dealt with the worst that could happen for now. Your aid is much appreciated and it shall be remembered."

Mark turned around to look at the headmaster talking to Maria. Maria had been following after him and the headmaster since they left the entrance, and she nodded to the headmaster's words when he told her that she was no longer needed. She glanced at Mark, and Mark could see some form of longing in her gaze. It seemed like she wanted to say something to him, but she never said it.

Instead, she just left to go to class as the bell rang to signal the start of the first period.

RINGGGGG!!

"Come along, Mr. Vanitas. I won't take up too much of your time."

"Oh no, please take as much as possible."

Mark would much rather not go to class at all, so he didn't mind if the headmaster took up the entire first period. Although... now that Mark thought about it. It would be just as bad to listen to the headmaster talking for an entire hour. Mark just sighed tiredly in his heart.
