I soon spent a month memorising all those thick books before returning them to the library.
On the way to returning them, Ms Connie asked me. "So what new words did you learn this time?"
"I learned words such as Quantum Spectroscopy, Error Function, Evolution etc," I told her much to her confusion.
"What do those words mean?" She asked me and I answered her honestly as I the memory of those words not their understanding in my head.
"I have no idea. I just remember the big words, not their meanings. It's fun Ms Connie you should try it." I told her as she had a thinking face.
After returning those books Ms Connie took out a book herself, probably to try what I had told her.
Needless to say, I constantly saw her sleeping whenever she opened the book.
6 months passed by and we got ready for our mini test along with our summer holidays in mid-July lasting till mid-September.
I easily managed to wiz through my exams.
Due to not having to go back to school anymore, I used the 6 hours I waste in school to train my body, practise the flute and then comprehend the 30 books I read.
Still, I had a huge amount of free time which I did not know what to do with it other than playing with other kids and giving even more time with the flute.
Summer passed by like that my time occupied my playing flute more and more.
The kids at one point decided to get me to play their favourite music which I occasionally did.
If it wasn't for my powers along with the history of this world, I would have forgotten that I was in a marvel world.
The new academic year began and I was in year 3 and the year was 1991.
When I came back to school for my first session back with my flute teacher, she was pretty surprised at my massive improvement in flute and suggested me to take grade 1 flute exam.
I agreed and we began our practice for grade 1 exam.
Apparently, the exam was in 6 weeks, so I had plenty of time to prepare.
I went back and informed Ms Connie who was all too happy to hear this.

6 weeks passed by and I took my grade 1 exam.
It took them 2 weeks before they gave me the results that I passed with distinction.
Right after I received my results my flute teacher asked if I wanted to take the grade 3 exam.
'Hell, why not?!' I thought as I agreed with her and started preparing for the grade 3 exam.
Similar to last time the grade 3 exam was a week before Christmas. I wasn't worried neither was my teacher after she saw that I could perfectly pass the exam by our practise session in November.
We started focusing on random music pieces after that.
I took my music exam without any worries and 2 weeks later after Christmas, I was given my result of once more passing with distinction.
Midway through January, my ability had finished comprehending all 30 books. To think it took nearly 1 year to comprehend all 30 books.
UK was one of the only few countries that didn't allow skipping grades no matter how talented or smart one was. Something about need to be amongst people in the same age group in order to avoid bullying and having a good social life. This meant no matter how much of a genius I was I will have to go through all the years of studying like a normal kid.
Well, that would give me all the time in the world to prepare for whatever shenanigans the world could throw at me and be careful to avoid the eyes of ever-watchful HYDRA who are looking for talents to capture and brainwash along with other random organisations in Marvel.
This was why I kept my talents a secret and gave Ms Connie the reason that reading books were to learn about new words rather about new theories.
During this time our school started teaching us swimming lessons along with cycling lessons along with other things which kept will keep going until the end of year 4.
After having finished the 30 books I took Ms Connie to the library to take out 15 books of university-level which I started memorising. After I finished with those booked after 2 weeks, I took another 15 books. This kept on going for a while until it was July till which I had memorised about 200 books. I was testing my limit and it seemed there was no limit to how much books I could remember so far at 200 books.
A thing I concluded by now was that there was more to all 3 of my abilities than what El had explained and I had to figure how what there was to it.
When my summer started, I started comprehending these books. Hopefully, with this many books, I won't have to go back to the library for a long time may be close to even 7 years. As it took 1 year for 30 books so that mean nearly 7 years for all 200 books.
During this time, I had successfully passed grade 5 flute exam as well with distinction along with doing extremely well with my grades in my tests in year 3.
After I had passed my grade 5 exam my flute teacher invited me to play in her band, but I refused by saying I am too embarrassed and scared to meet new people. While the real reason was I simply didn't want to waste my time playing in bands when my goal was living/ surviving.
She didn't force me but advised me if I wanted to perform the flute in front of people in future then I have to get used to new people.
I had no plans to even do such a thing so adios.
Just like my previous summer, this summer was spent practising on my flute amongst other my exercise.
I spent at least 3 hours exercising every day during random times of the day. 1 hour was for flexible workouts to keep my body as flexible as possible like gymnastics while 2 hours was spent doing reps of the plank, high knees, push up and sit-ups. I had raised the difficult bar of my exercise by doing 2 minutes of the plank and high knees, 40 push-ups and sit-ups.
I also spent 30 minutes every day playing with the kids in the care home.
