The sunlight filtered into the room, the alarm ringed loudly but was quickly intercepted and put on silent.
The covers of the bed moved as a boy of the age of 18 was seen lying beneath the covers as he lazily opened his eyes and stretched out his arms. He checked the phone that was lying beside him as he checked the phone screen.
7:35
He muttered in monotone, "fuck, I'm going to be late, aren't I?"
Then, suddenly, a loud shout came from downstairs.
"NOAH!!!, GET DOWN AND HURRY TO SCHOOL, YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE!!"
'I shouldn't have stayed up till 4 playing Hollow Knight'
He muttered as he held his head with one hand and rushed into the washroom. He then quickly ran out and changed into his uniform, which had the colours of black and white.
It looked and suited him well with his black and midnight black eyes, and youthful face.
He quickly hung his bag on his arms and rushed down.
"I'm going out."
He said before stepping out the door and sprinting towards the direction of the school.
Upon reaching the gates of the school, Noah didn't bother to check if the door was open or closed, but jumped over the wall of the school.
"He's not catching me today."
"Mr. Brave, I see your athletic skills are as good as ever."
"damn."
Noah muttered before even turning back to meet the gaze of the teacher who had called out his name.
As he turned back, he saw a handsome man with chocolate brown hair and brown eyes staring at him with a smirk on his face that practically had been written on it
'Heh, I caught you.'
"What's with the last name all of a sudden, and come on, sir, arson, could you please let me go?"
"And why would I"
"I won't tell Miss Irene you were daydreaming and muttering this and that in the staff room about who knows which girl."
Arson suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine.
"Wow, blackmailing teachers, you're on the right path, you've basically learned how to lull people into thinking you're giving them options while cornering them. I'm so proud you're my student, and so I'll excuse you today."
"want to include me in your conversation"
Arson and Noah looked in the same direction and saw a woman with black hair and orange eyes with wired glasses.
Noah quickly took the lead
"Miss Irene, you're as beautiful as always, and it looks like it's not my place to get in between a husband and wife, so I will be taking my leave."
"You're not going anywhere. OH, and Noah, please do tell what Arson was muttering to himself in the staffroom."
Arson started to break out in a cold sweat and knew he was walking on thin ice, actually, the one he was fantasizing about was Irene, his wife herself, will he admit it to it though?, no, why because he's a man and they would rather suffer than tell what they were thinking, beacause of pride?, no, theyre just shy usually.
"Miss Irene, I don't want to be the one to intervene and harm a strong relationship between a couple, so could you please excuse me? I am going to be late for class, and what would happen if my grades are affected by it?"
Arson and Irene both looked at Noah as if looking at an idiot.
Arson called out, "Bullshit."
Irene commented as she galsred at Arson, " Language. And who are you trying to fool? You adapt to information really quickly, and your concepts are solid, and you score full in all except language studies and history, and even in those, the mistakes are weird, it's like you're from an era that wasn't in the technological era but more medieval, but still quite advanced, and the weirder thing is your mistakes and your parents mistakes in these subjects were about the same."
Noah didn't know how to respond because when he wrote those answers, it almost felt like an unconscious action rather than a conscious one, so he didn't know how to explain it either.
Irene then said, "You can go back to class now, or you'll get in trouble, but if you do, tell them it was Miss Irene that had stopped you; that's why you were late."
Arson asked hopefully
" Can I go to "
"No."
The response was instantaneous.
Noah strolled to the class, now that he had an excuse; he had no reason to worry and rush.
He leisurely put his shoes in the locker and changed into ones for school, and walked to his classroom.
Arriving in front of his classroom, he saw that the teacher had not yet arrived.
The classroom was filled with the noise of students interacting with each other or completing their work, with a variety of different students, some of whom were talking to each other, and some were accompanied by their books.
He went and placed his bag at the back, where his seat was located.
Then a guy with golden hair and bright blue eyes approached him and greeted him, accompanied by a girl with wire-type glasses with violet hair and green eyes.
"Yo', how've you been and what did you think of the game?"
"I played till 3 am, does that answer your question?"
The blond guy's name is Evan and and the girl's name is Natasha. They've been my friends for as long as I can remember.
Natasha looked at Noah with an expression that said, ' I hate you'
"What?"
She muttered to herself
"Bullshit genius...."
"I can't blame her, though, with the grades you get with the things you do, I understand why she's annoyed."
"So why isn't our teacher here yet?"
'he's here by this time usually.'
"Well, you see, there's a new transfer student, and she's hot, that's what they're saying."
'But knowing you, for her to get your interest, she would have to have 'that' considering my friend's peculiar tastes.'
Evan looked at Noah with amusement shining in his eyes.
Noah thought to himself
'I don't know what he's thinking, but I have a feeling it's something rude, and his face looks really punchable right now. I don't know why'
Natasha, after looking at Evan's expression, realized what he was thinking, and she thought to herself
'Heh, nobody's perfect, and he might die chasing his type of women, or maybe not, considering he probably has that trait too.'
Noah looked at Natasha's gloating expression, and a vein bulged in his head.
'You bastards'
Then Miss Irene walked into the classroom, hit the board, and said
"Settle down, class, we have a new student."
Evan and Natasha went back to their seats after bidding farewell, as did the other students scattered around the class.
After all the students had settled down in their seats, they awaited the arrival of the new member who would be joining their class soon.
Noah calmly looked at the doorway. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that the coming events would be critical and would change everything, as well as he also felt that he would gain something significant to him.
A quiet step was taken inside the classroom following the rhythm. It stopped. It was a young girl with pristine white hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes; her eyes, too, were white like the first snow. She had a slender but well-proportioned figure and seemed to carry herself with a natural grace.
Irene then whispered to her, " Go on, introduce yourself to them."
" My name is Evelyn Nixor, and I will, as of today, be attending this school with all of you, thank you. "
As she introduced herself, Noah was having an inner conflict. When he looked at the new student, it was as if he was looking at someone he had a deep connection and bond with, but he didn't understand how, as it seemed to him that he had never met her.
As their eyes met, the questions were then mostly answered.
As Evelyn looked all over the class, her eyes met with a boy with black hair and eyes. As they stared at each other, a screen appeared in front of them.

Noah muttered to himself with a wide smile.
"Oh, am I getting a power up like those novels? Hell yeah"
[Recovering memories]
As a load of information rushed into Noah's head, he held his head and writhed in pain. It was a sharp pain, a pain that felt like it was coming from his head and his soul. As the memories and information started to settle down, he gradually calmed down.
Noah took a deep breath in and then exhaled, closed his eyes, and did it until he calmed down.
Then he muttered
"So, you're my partner, huh?"
His eyes now shone with the light of experience as he stared at the girl who had also recovered after the initial transfer of information.

"Evelyn, it's your first day at school. "
The man's voice was warm and comforting.
He was Evelyn's father, Ryan Nixor. He was a doting father.
"I will be fine, but thank you for your concern. "
She smiled warmly.
" That's good, this is your grandfather's school, although he's rich, he likes to look after the future generation and nurture them himself; he's satisfied with that. Although the school isn't giant or big but there is a strange allure to it; it's filled with geniuses and promising youths, and because it's not overly big, it gives the feeling of normalcy and to strive for the better and not be rigid and overly prideful."
"Understood, father, thank you."
"Oh, and your mother and I got a pair of extra helmets of that new game, after winning the lottery, that was coming out tomorrow. If you make any friends, give it to them, call Alfred, and he'll drop them off."
"Mother is the same as always, huh?"
"Your mother still hasn't lost her habits, and I don't want her to change. Inherently, I want her to be the same Sophia I fell in love with."
The car stopped in front of the school gate.
As Evelyn stepped out of the car, she waved goodbye and headed for the office. She walked to the office while taking in her surroundings and looking around.
The school was quite good; it had club rooms, buildings, sports areas, a lush garden, and it gave the impression that it was well taken care of.
As she reached the office building, she stepped in and saw her grandfather sitting and eating donuts.
"Good morning, grandpa."
"Good morning, Evelyn."
"You shouldn't eat too many of those donuts, it's not healthy."
"It's fine, people should live the way they want to, no need to restrain them."
He said with a warm smile.
"Oh, and a teacher will take you to your class, and I hope you get along with your class."
The door opened, and Irene entered the classroom.
"Good morning, principal."
"Good morning, Irene, you seem lively in the morning."
"Yeah, I found my husband and Noah together early in the morning; they're practically friends with the way they act with each other."
"Well, that's good, he comes off a little gloomy, but he's actually quite warm and considerate, if you get close to him, that is."
"Yes, you're not wrong."
"Well, then, let me introduce you to my granddaughter, she is Evelyn Nixor."
"Nice to meet you, teacher."
"Nice to meet you, too."
"Then I'll come and take you to your class."
"Thank you."
"Don't be so stiff, Evelyn. These teachers are quite friendly and laid back if you get to know them, but don't be fooled, they are each monsters in their own right."
"OK, bye, grandpa."
Evelyn closed the door as she was led to her class by Irene.
As they walked through the hallway, they soon reached the classroom.
Irene entered the class first, then, after a while, she called Evelyn inside. There was no feeling of worry or anxiety, but there was this feeling that there was gonna be an event that would change the trajectory of her life.
As she took a step in, she leisurely and steadily entered the classroom. Irene whispered in her ear to introduce herself, and then she introduced herself to the class.
" My name is Evelyn Nixor, and I will, as of today, be attending this school with all of you, thank you. "
As she looked over the classroom, her eyes met the eyes of a young boy with black eyes and hair.
As they both stared at each other, suddenly a screen appeared in front of them.
[Genesis Online]
Evelyn's eyes started to shine with enthusiasm, as she was a reader of a variety of entertainment, so she was getting excited to receive a power-up, like the system in those novels.
But suddenly all her memories and information were transferred to her brain; it was excruciatingly painful, and she almost fell. The teacher, noticing the abnormality, helped support Evelyn.
As the pain disappeared, clarity came over Evelyn, and a maturity started to develop in her aura.
As she stared back at Noah, she muttered
"Hello, partner"
