Aria was walking down a corridor in the 2nd year dormitory building, looking for room 313. Her items had already been brought to the room for her, but she still hadn't seen it yet.
After a few more minutes of searching for her room, she arrived in front of the decorated wooden door. She tapped her student ID watch on the scanner, which opened the door for her. Walking inside, she was speechless.
The room was beautifully decorated with ornate wooden furniture and the scent of fresh flowers lingered in the air. There was a couch and TV right beside the entryway on the right, and to the left was a small kitchenette. Straight ahead, through an open door way was a bedroom with a queen size bed inside. Attached to the bedroom was a full size bathroom with a walk-in shower.
"Wow, I could get used to this," Aria said as she admired the dorm. "Looks like I don't have a roommate as well, thankfully."
Aria dreaded living in the dorms at first, she had heard of the low quality living conditions that often are the case when you live in a dorm. This however, was a nice surprise.
Over the next few hours, Aria settled into her new accommodations.
"Oh, I almost forgot about my daily quest!" Aria jumped out of bed and made a little workout space in the sitting area.
Since the first daily quest, the difficulty had increased and she only got 10 exp per day as well. After she finished her daily quest, she checked her updated status.

Aria was halfway there, but still her progress has been extremely slow.
...
The next day, Aria was walking towards her homeroom classroom when she tripped on an object and fell onto the ground. All the students around her began to snicker at her fumble. Aria looked around and spotted a student from her class that seemed to have been the cause of her unfortunate fall. The student was a boy with tanned skin, and orange hair. He laughed quite loudly as she fell and happened to be right beside her at the time.
She got up from the floor and confronted the boy with annoyance. "Anything you want to apologize for?" She stared him down wanting him to at least apologize for his actions.
"Why in the world would I do that, little miss F-rank?" He provoked her.
A familiar ding was heard and a notification flashed before Aria's eye.
[ Emergency Quest! ]
[ Defend Thy Honor! - A student has picked a fight with you, put them in their place and claim your honor. Reward: 1 free stat point and 30 exp.]
Aria thought some of her quest or skills had odd names, but that wasn't important at the moment. She had her honor to defend. She scanned her opponent in front of her.

- Name: Leo Aurelius
- Bloodline: Draconids (Fire Wyvern)
- Rank: E
Defeating an E-rank might be possible for me, I just have to be careful of his potential fire attacks. Aria was analyzing her opponent before and decided to make the first move.
Leo felt pretty confident that a little F-rank would pose no threat to him, however there was one that could, and she had a bone to pick with him. Leo stood there with a smug look on his face, when a hand came flying towards his face. He was caught off his guard, and he couldn't dodge the slap flying towards his cheek.
As soon as Aria felt the contact of her palm on his face, she new it was her win. Leo flew back a few meters from the force behind her slap. Knowing he was out cold already, Aria turned around and continued to walk back to class. Behind her almost a dozen students were stunned by the sight of a orange haired boy laying flat on the ground.

Aria had discovered another method to level up, she couldn't wait to put it to use.
.....
Back in the homeroom classroom, Professor Hodgens was finishing up his lecture on Orks, Ogres, and Goblins. Aria intently paid attention to his theory classes as she genuinely enjoyed it. Soon it came to an end and a certain orange haired boy missed the entire class.
In the back of the classroom, Eric just woke from his nap. He could hear some chatter coming from the girls sitting beside him.
"Can you believe she did that? How can an F-rank be so brutish!" A girl with blue hair said.
"How did she do that though? He was an E-rank after all," another girl mentioned.
Eric's interest had been piqued by the rumors he was hearing. That same F-rank from yesterday, something is strange about her. Maybe I will keep an eye on her, see if anything fun happens.
Aria once again was hearing rumors about her. Aria was bothered by them, but she had a different objective today. Where is the girl with the light green hair? she thought while looking around at the students in the room. Aria sat at the front of the classroom, so it was difficult to keep an eye on the students behind her. With no luck spotting the student, Aria got up to go to her next class.
Today she had her physical training and weapons class for the later part of the day. Everyone had slightly different schedules matching what classes they need or what suited their abilities. As she was exiting the main building, she spotted the hair colour she was looking for.
Aria ran up to the girl who was walking along the pathway.
"Excuse me!" She called out to the girl. She caught up to the green haired girl and gently tapped her shoulder. The girl turned around with a look of confusion.
"Hi there, I wanted to thank you for what you said in the washroom yesterday." Aria spoke to her with appreciation. "I almost gave up on this school, until you helped me."
The girls eyes went wide at the sudden ambush, but she could tell Aria was an earnest person. "It was no problem, just take care of yourself," the girl spoke softly as she began to walk away again.
Aria watched the back of the green haired girl as she scanned her.
