Chapter 58: At Least An A - Rank
"Mhm... Waaa..."
Jay woke up from his deep sleep and rubbed his eyes. He turned his gazes everywhere and was relaxed to know that he was in his own room.
He couldn't have imagined that his life would take such a turn. He smirked while sitting on the floor for sometime and then slowly and steadily walked towards the washroom and got refreshed.
He looked at the time and it was roughly around 6:30 AM, an ideal time for exercising.
However he didn't want to do so as his body was still aching, so he thought to just rest and then leave towards the college as it was his first day today.
He brewed some coffee and drank after taking shower and then immediately got dressed up and started to use his smart phone.
He opened up the news to look at the latest informations that I've been going on.

After reading all those he wondered that how strong he was. He had gone through many hardships so he might have gotten stronger but by how many times had he gotten stronger was the question.
"System, display stats."
'DING DONG'
__________
- The System is under upgrade.
- You can't use the system.
TIME LEFT : 05:00:01 [5 hours]
__________
"Huh? What did you say? It's under upgrade?"
"..."
He blanked out for sometime after hearing this and then immediately stood up.
"It's not like 5 hours is too long, I can just wait."
He went and packed his necessary things that were required for him in the first day.
He took the phone and dialed a number and called.
'RING RING' 'RING RING'
"Hello, this is Down's Residence, Who?"
"..."
"Hello??"
"Mom, it's me."
"J-Jewel? I mean Jay? What happened? Is everything alright? You called so early in the morning? Breakfast? Or..."
She kept on asking hundreds of questions without even letting him answer anything as she was someone who always worried about her kids.
"Mom... I am fine Mom, just wanted to talk a little... today is my first day so I wanted to talk to you first and have a good start."
"..."
"Mom?"
"..."
"Hey mom! Are you alright?"
"Yes baby, I am fine. I was just happy. I thought you despised me for being a worst mother but you..."
Jay closed his eyes and calmly breathed in.
"Listen Mom, I have never blamed you for anything. So you too, stop blaming yourself! Just wish me luck with a happy smile for today."
She immediately calmed down and wished him lots of good luck and well wishes.
They chatted for another 10 minutes and then hung up.
Jay moved out after locking the door while at the same time the land lady's daughter did too.
"Lara?? What happened? Why did you stop suddenly...?"
The land lady came out while asking her daughter and found Jay walking right past her. She immediately grabbed his hands and said, "Oh boy, now I know why! Listen, you both are in same College, so can you walk with her??"
"..."
"Sure why not land lady."
It was wise to listen to her as he was aware that it would be his own loss to make her angry by rejecting her offer.
Lara was flustered by remembering Jay's half naked super manly body so she couldn't say anything much.
All she did was walk beside him while lowering her head and peeking at him slightly whenever she got the chance.
But Jay didn't care about this at all. He was only looking at his phone while walking and not even cared about his surrounding.
After a thirty minutes walk and then taking a bus, they finally arrived at the country's largest pre-university/college for youngsters around the age of 18-21.
Jay started walking towards the main building as soon as he entered but Lara immediately grabbed his hands and said, "Jay, shouldn't you see which your classroom is? You also need to know right where it is?"
Jay looked at her and smiled.
Lara was flustered again and blushed hard.
He said, "I have already looked up. I'm in class 1-F in the 2nd floor of 3rd building."
"Eh? What did you say??"
Jay repeated, "1-F, 2nd floor, 3rd building!"
"B-but when did you see? Did they post it online?"
"..."
"Haha nope! I just saw right now from the board that was placed there."
After saying this he left towards his designated class. But Lara who was left behind was totally surprised.
"You must be kidding me Jay, I mean how can you possibly look at the texts that are written on a board which is kept at least 200 metres far... its only possible if you are... if you are at least an A- Rank Hunter..."
She kept on standing there and stared at Jay's back as he walked towards the building.
