Waking Up with a Gold Finger

"Wake up, James…"

Soon after he was jolted awake from the light tapping of his body, James opened his eyes drowsily, completely in a daze.

"How could you fall asleep just like that? Connor was already looking toward our side on a few occasions. I sense that he is already on the brink of an emotional outburst," said Peter anxiously.

"I don't know why either. I felt so sleepy all of a sudden earlier."

James shook his head. He could still remember vaguely that he died after pressing the big Yes button and woke up in this body that was also called James, he heard a sound before waking up telling him that the Prodigy System was successfully bounded to him.

He looked up and met Connor's exceedingly hostile eyes. James sat upright in all apparent seriousness at once and looked straight ahead.

Connor was James's mathematics teacher who also doubled as his form teacher. Other than that, he was also the director of student affairs of the entire school. He was an incomparably harsh person who frequently sought to meet students' parents.

Huh?

In the next moment, he was stunned abruptly as rows upon rows of words emerged on his mind in a ghastly manner.

'Receiving guidance from high school teacher, Connor. Mathematics proficiency +1.'

…

The words on his mind were increasing continuously in an extremely swift speed as Connor's lesson went on.

Wasn't this like the beginning of that novel called I Am A Prodigy that he read before going to watch Infinity War?

James's heart was pounding. He did not look toward the lectern anymore but he lowered his head and picked up the mathematics textbook.

If he remembers well the MC could also gain proficiency points by absorbing knowledge from books.

'Self-studying on mathematics textbook. Mathematics proficiency +1.'

…

James smiled to himself but quickly whipped the smile off his face as he remembered that he was still in class.

'Stay calm! I have to stay calm!'

James made a display of his powerful mentality at this very moment. He inhaled deeply and shifted his attention to his mind.

A panel appeared in his mind. There were a few segmented small square frames on the panel similar to the skills found in a game. At present, a few of the square frames were already illuminated.

English Proficiency: 20%

Spanish Proficiency: 5%

Mathematics Proficiency: 40% and still increasing by +1 continuously.

Physics Proficiency: 10%

Biology Proficiency: 15%

…

There was a total of over thirty icons illuminated in total, including his ability to ride a bicycle. It was only that none of his proficiencies exceeded 30% other than mathematics.

As for the rest of the remaining numerous small square frames that remained in black, it probably signified the skills that have yet to be unlocked.

James gasped in astonishment. He had no idea that he was going to die and reincarnate as James in another world with such an advantage.

'Could it be that this Prodigy System will help me conquer the multiverse?'

Just as he made himself this question a new panel appeared before him.

Skills:

Multiverse Travelling 1%

Prodigy System Mastery 2%

Startled James noticed that this panel had skills as its name and its color was golden.

'The Prodigy System is here as well so this must be my own skills and no the ones given to me by the Prodigy System, there's also a skill called Multiverse Travelling and it should be at 1% as this is my first travel from my home universe'

Meanwhile, a large amount of mathematical knowledge that originally felt like a blur in his mind was becoming increasingly clear

He could not hold himself back from wanting to try out the new proficiency level. He wondered if he could master things from comics as the MC of the original book did, James was in chapter 72 when he died and until then Ye Lingchen didn't use much that feature even when it made him increase his battle prowess by leaps and bounds.

His gaze swept across the room and noticed that Peter was looking at the lectern with a focused gaze. James knew from the memories he was given that Peter was smart but he liked to daydream when he was in class so his academic performance wasn't that good.

"Peter, you should really pay more attention to this as it should be an important topic". said James not out of the goodness of his heart but because his memories told him that Peter's mother was worried about him.

Peter spoke with hesitation, "Maybe if Connor's lecture wasn't so boring I would pay him more attention."

James didn't say anything and just listened to the lecture while reading his mathematics book and hearing the constant rings from the Prodigy System.

'Receiving guidance from high school teacher, Connor. Mathematics proficiency +1.'

By the end of the class, his Mathematics Proficiency was already at 70%.
