Miss Eclara left me at the table frozen from the announcement she just made.

(Nonono, this is just a coincidence, a coincidence… even if her name is Eclara Dien Rot and her master is Pax Karmerot, that doesn’t mean it’s gonna be the same as the game.)

I was slowly convinced by my own thoughts.

(Yes, that’s right. First of all, the principals are different people. If this is the same as the game, his age should be in the 20s. Also, there’s no sight of the protagonist here.)

“Phew…”

I made a sigh of relief when I was managed to calm myself down.

“Umm, Miss Lumina, I think we should get going”

“Ah, that’s right.”

I stood up from my seat, restored the place with magic and started walking to the general studies building.

When I arrived, the classroom was already crowded. They were the same classmates I had for the past three years. And just like then, they still didn’t talk to me. There was a time when I tried talking to my seatmate, but she suddenly paled and started apologizing to me. I was pretty shocked by her behavior that I started thinking if I was scary.

I quickly arrived at my seat and started writing on top of my desk. The things I wrote were now quite advanced if I compared it to the lessons I was receiving. My situation for mathematics for now was in Linear equations. While for Science, I was struggling to remember Newton’s laws of motion.

The morning schedule as I became a third grade student didn’t change all that much. Since classes start at 8 a.m. and ends at 12 noon. During these times, we only have two subjects that were taught to us. The first 2 hours is for Literature and History while the next 2 hours is dedicated to basic mathematics. Which is by the way still in multiplication. Who’d think that they’d struggle with multiplication this much? In my old world, we usually start dealing with fractions when we reached the third grade.

Our usually free afternoon became lessons for sword fighting. The school does not discriminate between genders, so even girls are included in the lessons. This class was the exact reason why I’m quite happy to become a third grader.

Since I’m able to use magic, I can become like those in the fantasy RPG games I used to play. I could become a ‘magic swordsman’. I could do stuff like reinforcing my body using strengthening magic, wielding a flaming sword in my hand and fighting against dragons.

Doing those stuff really is both romantic and enjoyable. Though if this world is the same as the game I played before I died, stuff like fighting a dragon becomes a daily occurrence, so I don’t really want this world to become like the one in the game. My most advanced spell is only freezing stuff at a molecular level to make Ice cubes. So god, if you ever exist in this world, please have mercy and don’t make this world the same as that.

“Miss Lumina, please go to the board and solve the following calculations.”

My teacher’s call stopped my line of thinking. I looked up on the board and found 20 sets of equations. They were very simple for a person who managed to finish high school or college.

“Haaa…”

I breathed out a heavy sigh and stood up from my seat. Looking at my teacher, he seems to be quite confident that I couldn’t solve this. I was tempted to taunt him to give me more difficult questions, but because it may attract attention, I didn’t do it.

I finished writing on the blackboard in about 10 minutes and quietly went back to my desk with a bored look. Who wouldn’t? Try solving 18+42, 15 – 6 and 10x20, for three years, we’ll see if you won’t get bored.

“As expected, you managed to get everything correct even though these materials are for high school.”

With the teacher’s announcement, my classmates started clapping their hands in admiration to me. As for my reaction to his announcement, closed my eyes and sighed quite heavily.

(So we won’t touch fractions, decimals, and division even when we’re high school? I’m already teaching Emilia long division, who knew it’d be useless here.)

Our morning ended and I met up with Emilia as I went down. We started going back to the dormitory to have lunch there. Normally, we’d only stop by there and take our lunch elsewhere, but because we had afternoon classes, we couldn’t spend our time leisurely.

“So, how was your class?”

“Compared to what you teach me, it’s quite easy and boring.”

A smile appeared on my face when I heard her.

“Really? Did you know that I was given some materials that were taught to seniors to solve on the blackboard?”

“That also happened to you, Miss Lumina?”

My eyes widened in shock and I covered my mouth with my left hand.

“So it happened to you too?”

“Yes.”

“To be honest, I was quite disappointed when I heard it was that they were for seniors.”

I giggled at her statement.

“Same goes for me… It seems you’re ready to receive the title of ‘a genius’, Emilia.”

“You don’t have any right to call me a genius.”

The two of us continued to laugh until we arrived at the door of the canteen. Emilia quickly opened the door and started looking for a free table. When I entered the canteen, all sound stopped and everyone, even the seniors, focused their gaze on me.

When I felt their gaze lock on me, my cheeks became red and my desire to stare at the floor welled up. I swallowed that desire and walked to Emilia who started placing food on a table at the farthest edge of the canteen.

(Are you harassing? You could’ve chosen those nearby… but no~! It had to be the farthest! Just you wait after class; I’ll teach you the wonders of pi and the circumference of a circle… fu fu fu)

Acting like I didn’t mind their gazes and the silence, I arrived at where Emilia was and sat on the chair. I started eating. The moment the spoon entered my mouth, the silence that enshrouded the canteen was broken and the students started eating their food. I would sometimes spot some of them catching glimpses of me, but because it wasn’t at the level as before, I paid it no heed.

“Thanks for the food.”

“Your welcome.”

She started cleaning the table and pushed the trolley back to the kitchen. I stood up from my chair and walked towards the exit. Along the way, Emilia caught up to me and followed behind me without saying a word.

“That was really mean! Why’d you have to pick the farthest table!?”

“It’s for your own good, Miss Lumina. Hehehe…”

The moment we exited the dormitory, I started a conversation with Emilia while we were walking towards the field where we would have our afternoon class.

“Hmph… for my own good? Is embarrassing somebody like that, for my own good?”

“Yes.”

“Hah!? Are you sure you aren’t bullying me?”

“Nope… didn’t you feel good having everyone’s focus locked on to you?”

“No!?”

Emilia laughed as I continued to protest against her.

“Once we get older, there’ll be more of those situations, Miss Lumina. I think it’s better if you get used to it.”

“There’s no way I’d get used to that.”

“You never know…”

“Haaa~”
