The sun shone through the windows as I sat at the dining room table eating my breakfast, it was filled with a variety of dishes that I had no hope of finishing.
" The food is as delicious as always, please do send my regards to the chef "
I said turning my head to albert who happened to wear a look of intrigue on his face. With a look that seemed to be contemplating something he finally decided to give a reply to my words
" While I am quite happy to hear that you enjoyed your meal, there is a question I have been wanting to ask of you master.
Today is the first day of the academy if I recall correctly "
I nodded my head indicating my agreement
" And currently the opening ceremony should be at full swing with all new students in attendance "
I nodded my head once again
" So, may I inquire about the reason that you are currently at our estate? " He finally asked
Smiling slightly at the question I answered in an unhurried tone
" Ah, well if I have to put it in simple terms, it would be to make them understand my position "
" And how would that be? "
" Well to explain that we would have to go to the past, back when I have already taken the academy entrance exam 4 months ago alongside the other students and proceeded to make an utter fool of myself in it
Even if the headmaster had sent letters explaining my situation, to those who known the past me I am nothing but a low-ranking student with a useless title stuck to his name, such a thought process would lead the staff and students to believe that they can treat me the same way they treat everyone else in the academy "
" That would be a problem "
" Exactly, so instead of going through the hassle of having to correct their flawed thinking through personal strength later on, I'll show them through the power of my status so they can understand from the beginning "
' While all the other students are forced to travel to the grand lake, ride the same boat and go to the opening ceremony in the name of equality, I am here eating breakfast and going via a transportation gate, I'll make them see that the title I hold bears weight '
Looking at the time I stood up and proceeded to go to change my clothes, not to the official white and blue uniform of the academy but to the standard black suit of the Arcane household, walking towards the gateway I closed my eyes and pushed through.
' Finally, the true beginning starts now '
...
Having reached the other side, I was greeted with the sight of my dorm room which was basically a small apartment with a built-in training room, kitchen and bathroom.
' Truly fitting of the most prestigious academy in the world, this room is even better equipped than the apartment I lived in my past life '
Giving a weary smile to the sad truth of my past, I turned around and began walking towards the elevator waiting patiently till it stopped at my floor.
Entering the elevator, I pressed the ground floor to get out of the dorms. With the first period having already started the campus was completely empty which gave me time to truly marvel at the size of the academy.
Reading about it in the novel does not hold a candle compared to seeing it right now in front of me, with hundreds of buildings including cafes, stores and restaurants built to accommodate the students it deserved to be called a small city.
Staring forward I could see the main building, if not for the sign indicating its name, I would have mistaken it for the second home of the emperor with how over the top it was.
Showing my student ID that was sent to me a week ago I Ignored the weird looks I got from the staff as I moved to the 5th classroom on the first floor.
Opening the door the first thing that greeted me was the view of a dazzling beauty with long white hair and large blue eyes she stared at me with a look of confusion strewn upon her pretty face, Isabella whiteheart the older sister of the protagonist and the homeroom teacher of my class stood before me.
Looking at her my breath caught in my throat however calming my emotions quickly I faced her and began to explain
" Let me introduce myself I am Nicholos Arcane the current head of the Arcane household, because of some issues occurring at the estate I happened to arrive late today, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance"
As I finished explaining her face changed to a look of understanding as she quickly replied to me
" The pleasure is all mine Sir Nicholos, I have already been informed by the headmaster of your situation so there is no need to give an excuse, you can go and sit at any of the empty seats "
Nodding in understanding, I went up to the only empty seat at the front and sat down.
Trying to bring back the class's attention Isabella clapped her hands loudly
" Let me reintroduce myself my name is Isabelle Whiteheart; I am currently 26 years old and a A ranker, for the following three years I will be your homeroom teacher, so if you ever find yourself needing anything then you are always welcome to come to my office located on the fourth floor "
" As it is the first day you will only be getting be getting a brief introduction on your curriculum so you can take your time to get to know the teachers you will be working with and what you will be taught, so seeing as there is nothing else to do until the arrival of the next lecturer you have my permission to walk around and get to know each other "
Having finished her piece, Isabella promptly left the classroom probably not wishing to intrude on the student's time together.
Sadly, while her intentions were pure hearted, she forgot about the massive outlier that currently exists in the class which led to its current awkward state.
' I could feel the stares from the back '
As the mood in the classroom continued to spiral, the sound of a chair being pushed was heard. Standing up was a handsome young man with white hair reaching out to him was a similarly beautiful crimson haired girl seemingly trying to stop him from leaving however looking as if he had made up his mind, he brushed her off before approaching the front of the classroom and standing right before me.
" Goodmorning Sir Nicholos arcane, my name is Jake Whiteheart considering we are going to be classmates for the next three years I hope we will be able to get along "
The protagonist of the novel Jake whiteheart had finally appeared and as of this moment he was offering a handshake with one of his family's oldest enemies.
