His discussion with Steven had been quite enlightening for Adam. This allowed him to better realize the changes in his life and what he wanted to do with the future.
Steven had been quite shocked after hearing he wanted to drop out. After all, he had been one of the best students in school.
But, after hesitating, he did not ask more. All he did was make another fist bump and wish him good luck in his future endeavor.
He also added that if Adam needed help or a lawyer. He would ask his parents without hesitation.
Truly a good friend that was.
After leaving Steven alone to think on his own about his future choices, Adam slowly walked through the inner grounds of the campus, looking on as the students went through their days. Some were training with their club members, be it as cheerleaders, or students who focused on sports and were honing their bodies.
Some others were simply studying on the open spaces and benches. But obviously, there were also many students running to reach their classes on time or simply having idle discussions with each other while walking through the paved roads.
Christmas holidays were slowly approaching but this also meant that the dreaded exams period was approaching them as well.
'Well. Not like it's my problem anymore.'
The time when all he could think about was how to beat Natasha and get a better score in the exams was long gone for him.
Now he had to worry about things like how to become a King of the supernatural world and also about the future apocalypse that may or may not take place.
In his domain— 'The World,' Adam perceived all the students and continuously observed them through his 'Eyes of Truth' to filter out the supernatural from the ordinary.
He had to drop out officially and he also wanted to take a look at Shuri's class one last time to give a proper farewell to the classes that he attended for the past two years.
Speaking of Shuri's classes, he was supposed to receive an internship in her firm alongside Natasha as a reward for their exemplary school results.
'Well. At least this will give more chances to the other students. Ah… Got you.'
Scratching his hair, Adam smiled quietly when he finally found the person he had been searching for among the sea of students all along.
He had to take a look at many rather inappropriate things to sweep through the area for this individual, but he was thankfully able to find her after going through nearly a staggering number of thirty thousand students.
"Let's go."
He walked with a tranquil gait, ignoring the bugs and spiders scurrying around him and watching him from the shadows.
———
Adam walked with purpose inside the university grounds and the aura he unknowingly released made others naturally walk a little further away from him and avoid his existence.
Of course, there were a few students who actually recognized him and some also tried taking pictures of him due to how handsome he was. But anyone who tried this would find their phone mysteriously short-circuit and in need of buying a new phone ASAP.
His fine control over the electricity aspect of the power of Electromagnetism had become highly attuned over the days and soon he was sure that soon he could properly start focusing on the magnetism aspect of the power.
Once this part of the power was mastered, he could ensure that most hunters who relied on weapons and technology would become completely helpless in front of him.
'I wonder if I can start doing things like creating iron sand weapons like a particular animation character that I like.' [1]
They might not have all the advantages of being molded with holy water and special materials but it would still be very useful to him since his weapons always got destroyed during a particularly difficult fight and he didn't really need to use weapons in easy fights, to begin with. Moreover, the fluidity of the iron sand creations would help ensure that he could use multiple types of weapons instead of being restricted to just one.
'And… I have a bad feeling surrounding Makarov. I need to talk to him later.'
Every minute that went by made his to-do list longer and longer.
'I should really try finding a clone technique or something.'
He sighed under his breath once he finally reached his target.
It was a Latino woman with beautiful caramel-colored skin and a body that was worth more than a second look.
Steven really got a beautiful girlfriend for himself.
But it seemed like his luck was as bad as Sae's, as she was indeed someone from the supernatural world.
'Another mermaid, huh?'
It wasn't the first Latina mermaid he had found in the supernatural world. This was a rather interesting to him as most of the mermaids he encountered turned out to be Latinos. He wondered if there was something in the Latin lands that spurred this phenomenon, but he didn't think too much of it and definitely didn't let that distract him from the purpose of his visit.
"Hi."
The girls who had been chatting and having light conversations all stopped and looked at him with hesitation and wariness in their eyes.
He could see a werewolf, and two more mermaids in the group of girls, though this time they seemed to be of European descent, and finally a harpy.
In the same way Adam could feel their presence even without utilizing his 'Eyes of Truth,' they could feel that the one who stood in front of them was someone extremely dangerous and could kill them with a thought.
The most shocked was, of course, Marlen— Steven's girlfriend. She did remember Adam. But back then he had not such a dangerous aura surrounding him as he did now. Moreover, it hadn't even been that long till they had met— which was all the more startling to her.
"I want to talk to Marlene."
The girls hesitated in their seats, wondering if they should call for help or try fighting him right now. The werewolf girl was already slowly pushing out her claws under the table.
Adam smiled at that sight. It was always wonderful to see people ready to stick out for their friends and acquaintances even when the situation was proving to be dangerous for themselves.
But he did not need useless bravado right now.
"Don't move."
He wanted to deal with this as fast as possible and do something much more important than this tedious task.

[1]: So yeah, I am honest. I saw this idea from Toaru. When I was searching for how to use electromagnetism. Basically, my biggest inspirations are Misaka and Magneto and the Kazekage in Naruto. But I honestly don't really know how iron sand work. I could just bullshit but I still at least wanna have some explanation you know. So if someone can explain to me how Misaka Mikoto does it. Also how strong would a weapon made of iron sand really be?
Obviously, I will do my own research but outside info is welcome.
