Miche spend his remaining hours of the day researching about the skills learned by Mythias, but all the articles he have seen are only related about the skills learned by the Mythias through leveling. He even checkee the bestiary of Wild Dogs to see if their bestiary does contain the skills that Setanta learned not too long ago.
That's when Miche realized how big deal of a breakthrough that was. The skills that Setanta just learned does not exist as part of the Wild Dog's moveset. In short, what Setanta learned is considered to be abnormal and out of place for everyone else.
"Wait, I think the main reason for this is because no one is crazy enough to spend millions of money just to spend it on a Mythia that they treat as useless and trash. If its the other species of Mythia, I can tell most of them have data about it including the skills that can be earned through stat boosting. Do people really underestimate the power of a Wild Dog that much?"
Setanta approached Miche and rubs his head to Miche's leg, asking for headpats which the latter granted as he continues to scroll through the documents and bestiaries related to the Wild Dog.
After wasting his time scrolling through the various content related to Wild Dog Mythia, he sighed in frustration and looked at Setanta.
"Guess you will be the first Wild Dog that will somehow be going to be recognized as a different one of their kind."

The next day, he was once again woken up by the voice that deposits the daily stat points. Based on his observation, it doesn't automatically put the daily stat points automatically to him when the day changes. It is more like it deposits the stat point only around the time he is awake whenever he is awake by the time the day changes.
For example, if he is still awake as midnight strikes, the point is deposited to his point pile right away. However, he usually sleeps before midnight which delays the deposit process until his consciousness seems to have awakened a bit around 4 to 5 in the morning considering he is an early riser.
Miche did not distribute the points immediately and waited for the opportunity for later.
"Arf!" Setanta wags his tail excitedly while Miche is cooking food. Perhaps because the smell is very enticing and also something the Wild Dog just smelled for the first time in his life, he looks excited just by smelling the aroma alone.
"You must be hungry, Setanta. Don't worry, I am almost done."
Since Mythias are not allergic to human food and has any sort of problems eating the same food as humans, Miche has no fear of feeding Setanta anything. He can also save a lot of money buying expensive food for Mythia that are almost going to cost him an arm and leg. He can probably buy months worth of food and supply from the money alone that will be used for spending mythia specific foods.
After Miche finished cooking, he set aside his portion and give the rest to Setanta who is very eager to eat.
"Here, buddy. Have your fill. I hope it is to your liking."
Miche just fried meat and added a few frozen vegetables to cook so it isn't a lavish food. Simple, but filling. And it seems Setanta likes the food as he scarfs down his portion without problem.
Miche also decided to eat his food as he needed to prepare. After all, today will be considered as the very first day of class. Miche predicted that there will be many judgemental eyes that are going to judge him later and he needed to prepare for it.
...
...
...
Miche just finished his preparations and are ready to move with Setanta, putting collar on his neck when he he hears a knock on his door.
"Hello, Miche. Are you up now?" the voice of Natalia can be heard outside the room.
"Just a minute!" Miche answered as he picks up his bag, and rushes to the entrance of his room and puts on his shoes. Once he have done all of that, he opens the door and Natalia is currently standing in front of the door with her Mythia Juju, still sleeping on her arm.
"Ah, it seems you are already ready. And here I thought you are still asleep!" Natalia chuckled as Miche closes and locks the door to his room.
"I am an early riser and I don't want to be late for the official first day of class. Considering I didn't attend class yesterday and the other day due to the initiation rites, I don't want to upset our teacher and give me a bad impression."
"You don't need to worry. The class barely have students during the initiation since a lot of the students have also participated. Only those who don't need to do it like me are there and we can only be counted by hand. You can say that this is our very first and official class that will be conducted."
Miche nodded and glanced at the hallway. Even though it is pretty early, various students have already left their rooms accompanied with their Mythias as they meet up with their friends. A very lively morning indeed.
And like he expected, there are people already watching him with strange looks as he stride together with a Wild Dog on his side. Of course, there are those who didn't care but majority looks like they have some problem with him and he felt a bit uncomfortable.
As he was about to look at Natalia, his eyes happened to see her glare on the people that are staring badly at him that some of them quickly turned their attention to the other direction and some just left the place, avoiding them completely. If looks could kill, perhaps plenty of students have already fallen in the process.
"Uh, Natalia? Are you okay?"
When Natalia realized that Miche was currently looking at her, the scary glare she was giving to the other studentd promptly disappears and her usual kind face reappeared without any sort of sign that she have shown that kind of face earlier.
"Oh? Did something happen?" Natalia feigned ignorance on what she just did.
"Your face looked kind of scary just now."
"Oh, o-one of Juju's claws was stuck on my skin and it hurts a bit. Y-yeah, that's all of it!" Natalia smiled awkwardly.
"Are you alright?" Miche is not convinced but he decided to not press further and decided to just ride on Natalia's alibi.
"Y-yeah. You don't have to worry about it! Anyway, let's go! We can't afford to be stuck in line on the teleporter with so many people or we would be late!"
Miche nodded. He is quite sure on what he have seen on Natalia before. But why was her face like that? He also didn't want to imagine that she was doing it for him or something. So for now, he has to put that on the back of his mind.
...
...
...
The two arrived just in time in class. There are already other students there hanging out with their friends and their Mythia. Some have some majestic looking Mythia while the others have a simple Mythia that looks ordinary and nothing too grand. He falls on that category while Natalia falls to the former category since Juju might be looking like a regular cat, but she wasn't one and her fur alone is enough to tell that it was a Mythia.
Miche thought that he would find peace after avoiding the other people considering no one seems to bat an eye on Setanta at all even when they saw him. However, that all changed when someone entered the room and a girl with golden locks of hair entered the classroom with her bird that looks like a phoenix due to its feathers that seems to be burning yet it doesn't seem to actually burn anything, alongside with two guys who both have a Mythia that looks like a Tiger. If he remembered them correctly, they are known as Guardian Tigers, a tier B Mythia.
Miche was about to sit down when his table was suddenly kicked down, hitting his stomach as soon as he sat down. The table hurts because it was quite a kick that he have done to it and it was so abrupt, he didn't get to prepare for it.
He clutches his stomach in pain and Setanta who was just taking it easy, stood up and started growling.
"Ugh...Setanta, get back!" Miche didn't want to escalate the situation but he is in pain a lot that he is having a hard time processing what is happening around him.
Natalia who saw this quickly rushes to Miche's side, worried. "Miche! Are you alright?"
"I don't think so...ugh...my abdoment hurts...f*ck..." Miche said as he grits and clutch his stomach in pain.
Natalia who was worried at Miche, glance at Setanta and saw the man who kicked Miche's table and angrily confronted him.
"Apologize to him! Now!"
However, the guy seemed to be arrogant and just made a smug look at Miche and Natalia. "Why would I? Do I have to apologize to a trash?"
Natalia seems to be ready to command Juju and attack him when Miche put his hand to Natalia's shoulder.
"Don't. No need to bother about that."
"B-but..." Natalia is ready to protest but Miche smiled.
"Thanks but this is my problem, I don't want to drag you into this."
The sting on his abdomen is still there but he can endure it and he looked at the man. He did not burst to anger, but he confrontef him normally.
"Just why did you do that?" Miche asked.
"Why? Because Princess Suzanne is passing by. Anyone not worth her gaze should bow down or even scram and move out of her way.
Miche looked at the person named Princess Suzanne. She looks like she was going to say something but the other guy is blocking her, stopping her from doing so.
Normally in a cliche way, Miche would have started a fight and issue a duel or something to do a regular face-slap scene, but Miche decided not to do that. Instead, he will be letting this smug guy build his arrogance to the max. And when he is totally full of himself, that's the time that Miche will make his move. He is confident of Setanta. He is not backing out in fear, he is biding his time to deal the maximum damage. After all, it is more satisfying to bring down a full arrogant man and humbling him down with full force than to prematurely teach him a lesson and they would come back again, making them a regular annoyance.
Miche is in favor of full dominance in one power move. For now, it is his win but he will just steal that thunder and use that to boost Setanta's popularity.
