I was laying on my bed while reading the new chapter of a novel that I followed since two years ago.

It was a story about a destroyed world full of undeads walking, there and here.

A sudden sleepiness attack me and I fell asleep.

And when I woke up, I was in a classroom full of students reviewing their textbooks.

I'm one of those students sitting in their specific sit, reading their textbooks.

Then one day, I know that this is fucked up.

I was gathering a lot of attention as I miserably begged Luke to let me read my manga in peace for an hour.

"You know it's been two whole years since I was able to come to this place," I continued sobbing as if Luke truly did something wrong to me.

Luke sighed as he heartlessly gave me two choices, "We're either going to study here for the rest of the day as we have originally planned or we're going back to your house."

When I didn't respond and started to cry harder, Luke dragged me mercilessly back to the entrance of the library. 

If I was in the eyes of the public, Luke couldn't continue his intense study sessions for a long time as it wouldn't fit with the mannerisms within the third district. However, if we went back home, Luke had the freedom to basically do anything.

I stopped crying as I returned the book back to the librarian who seemed to pity me as Luke ignored her compassionate gazes towards me and like everyone else watching this scene.

"Let's head to the study area," I miserably whispered to Luke.

I obediently followed Luke as the librarian guided us to the empty study area as she occasionally looked back to make sure I was fine.

Without wasting a single second, Luke started the next chapter as I immediately forgot about my complaints to concentrate on his lesson.

Luke finally stopped when it was around lunch time as it would be weird for young children at our age to continuously study without a single break.

"We should go out for lunch," Luke suggested as he pointed to a fancy hotel that was a ten minute walk from the library on his map.

However, when Luke wasn't looking this morning, I grabbed two sandwiches from the fridge and put it into Luke's bag so that we wouldn't have to eat inside another fancy restaurant.

"So we're having a break?" I carefully asked Luke.

Luke nodded as he opened his bag to pack the textbooks. However, before he could put the textbooks in, I grabbed the sandwiches out of his bag.

"You could go to the restaurant while I'll stay here and eat my lunch," I immediately headed to the manga section again after greeting Luke farewell.

However Luke sighed as he grabbed two more sandwiches from the front section of his bag (which I didn't pack).

"Just a hour Rika," Luke gave me his permission to read the towering collecting of manga and light novels on the numerous shelves.

It was really just an hour as Luke didn't give me a second more nor did he give me a second less from enjoying my life in manga and light novel paradise.

And until around dinner time, Luke didn't stop as many passersby looked at us curiously as we've been studying continuous for hours on our own.

"They're definitely from the first district," One college student whispered.

"Look at the clothes they're wearing. I've never seen something like this in the third district," Another college student agreed.

"And the content they're studying is the same level that my upperclassmen learn from their professors," Another college student pointed out.

Thanks for finally noticing. The level of difficulty of this textbook was already masters level in the third district and my past life. 

This was why my grades were never able to improve without Luke's intense study sessions. 

I happily closed our textbooks as I knew we were finished for the day. The library was about to close in one more hour as well.

We headed home as I devised a plan to escape from the study session tomorrow.

* * *
Today was July 8th of 3020 when I woke up from the soft vibration from my marble.

I painfully woke myself up at four a.m. Since I knew that Luke woke up at five a.m. from yesterday's conversation, I knew I had to wake up earlier than him to get out of the house unnoticed.

When I carefully opened Luke's door, I found him still sleeping.

I sighed in relief as I changed into the newly hung clothes from Luke's suitcase. He must have placed it in my closet last night as there was only one outfit and pyjamas for me to wear in my closet yesterday.

Today's outfit was another dress but made out of bright pastel pink silk with a tight ribbon around the waist. 

Again, it was casual enough to wear outside like a walk to the local park, but it wouldn't feel out of place when I would have to attend an informal event.

I carefully put on my dark pink sandals that I wore yesterday as I tried to open the main door as quietly as possible.

I silently cheered when I made it out of the house without Luke noticing. I walked to the bus stop to try to make it for the next bus that would drive me to the train station where I would catch the next bullet train that would place a large distance between Luke and me.

I have already put a note on the dining room table so my parents would know where I was.

My destination was the largest library in the country. I was grateful that I would get there by transferring from a one hour bus drive and then a three hour train ride.

I didn't mind that my commute was four hours overall, as I could sleep on the train.

I was captured and put onto a stake to be lit on fire as part of the ongoing witch hunt conducted throughout the land. I had to do something. But, this life really sucked. 

This all started when I was accidentally killed by God. 

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to kill you. It was just that I was overworked lately by my superior and I just wanted some time to relax and vent my stress out," he confessed.

"So, while I was snacking, I accidently dropped one potato chip into the human realm where the child tripped over the potato chip onto a den of steep stairs." God guilty admitted.

So I reincarnated into the most adorable girl with the largest orange-speckled eyes that contrasted her pale white skin void of any imperfections.

'How could someone look this pretty?' I thought as I admired my new appearance.

I was nowhere close to this pretty in my previous life. Did God put me into this new vessel as an apology?

But some things were too good to be true.

"We can do this the nice way or the hard way," My fiancé’s brother started off.
"The nice way is where you willingly come with us back to the first district and the hard way is where we forcibly take you back, which would be hard for all of us," Lucius gave me a warning.
Why was my life so depressing? He practically meant I didn’t have a choice! 
***
Few months later, I was at a party that I planned to escape from my fiancé’s family.
"I still get to continue with my naps on the weekends?" I tried to confirm with them.
No one answered as I almost cried from giving up my rare nap times from the mess I got involved with. This life was too bothersome!

The frigid breeze blew across the deserted campus. Barren trees creaked in the wind while flurries of snow began to attack those unfortunate enough to be outside.

Unlike the normally active campus, students had their heads down, scurrying here and there. Everywhere you looked, there were college students staggering around like zombies. If their nose wasn't pressed in between the pages of a textbook, they were frantically typing on their laptops.

The library was filled to the brim. All of the desks were occupied. While most were desperately cramming information inside of their brains, others had given up. They were slumped over, fast asleep on desks and in chairs. 

Liu Aili looked as if she were to pass out at any moment. Dark purple circles rimmed her light-colored eyes. Her hair was swept back into a ponytail, and her fair skin looked sickly in the fluorescent lighting of the library. 

She stood up and shakily put her laptop into her backpack. Her hands were shaking. She frowned as she glanced toward them and muttered, "I knew that fourth cup of coffee was a bad idea." As she walked towards the exit of the library, she glanced back towards where she was sitting to make sure she didn't forget anything. 

"Crap." 

She walked back toward the desk - it was already occupied by another desperate student - and grabbed her thermos off of the table. 

"Sorry." She mumbled to the student that replaced her in the comfortable library seat. He didn't even glance at her as he responded. "No problem."

She placed her thermos into the side of her backpack before descending the grand staircase of the library. Like most of the buildings on campus, it was old. Very old. 

Liu Aili stopped to stare at the high arched ceilings and thought it was as old as it was beautiful. Even though the library was creaky and cold, it harbored a little piece of her heart. She spent countless hours in its chilly embrace. Whenever she had a paper, she would come and work here. After 4 years enrolled in college, it would be her last time coming here. She would graduate in two weeks!

She harbored no doubts about graduating, but she held a wealth of anxiety toward the future. She didn't have a job lined up, and, as much as her parents nagged her, she didn't want to go back home and be a bum while doing her job-search. It's not that she wasn't a good student. In fact, she was an excellent student. She was naturally talented academically. But she knew that talent alone did not transfer over into automatically finding a job. Her thoughts flitted toward her double-major. 

She majored in Communication Studies and in Animal Behavior. She loved animals. She adored their loyalty, their ability to be trained, and their level of intelligence. Most people harbored doubts toward how intelligent animals actually were. She snorted, they were certainly smarter than some humans! However, she knew that she would not make a very good salary by doing what she loved: training animals. She pursed her lips and started creating a mental to-do list of what she had left to do tonight.

She just finished her last paper - no need to write any more academic papers for a while! She grinned at the thought. Her grin faded as she mind moved toward what she had left to do. She only had one presentation left before she would be done for the semester. 

But Professor Cheng was notoriously difficult to please. He would fire questions as rapidly as an automatic gun spewed bullets. He was the most curmudgeonly among crotchety old man. Professor Cheng would always make little quips and snarky comments during his lectures. Her brows furrowed. He would also make little quips and snarky comments during students' presentations. It was only funny if you weren't the one he made those remarks to. 

Liu Aili had finished her presentation. But, she thought, she should compile a long list of potential questions Professor Cheng might ask her. She needed to shower and pick out her outfit for tomorrow, as well. She shuddered to think of what he might say if she showed up in an oversize hoodie and sweatpants. 

Despite his sarcastic personality, she truly admired Professor Cheng. His knowledge was expansive in the topic of animal behavior. Not only was he more knowledgeable than other people, he was more knowledgeable than most textbooks. In fact, he had written a fair amount of textbooks himself.  

She scowled as she looked at her watch. 8:02 PM. She would have to stay up half the night working on those questions. 

Oh well. I should just appreciate this is my last all-nighter as a college student, she thought in an attempt to comfort herself. 

As she walked on the snow-lined sidewalk, her mind wandered to her reading list. Her favorite authors had probably updated their novels and she had no time to read them! Tears streamed down her face. I'm sorry I haven't been a loyal reader! I will catch up tomorrow night! I promise!!!

She needed to get back to her apartment so she could get started on that list of questions. 

She tripped on an uneven chunk of sidewalk and almost fell when she slipped on ice while trying to gain her footing. "@$#!%@%@!" 

Today is really not my day!!

When Aili finally got her balance, she kept walking. She rubbed her dry and stinging eyes. They hurt due to the sheer lack of sleep she had gotten over the past week...

HOOOOONK! 

By the time she looked up, it was already too late. She only saw the truck a second before it hit her. 

As her thermos flew through the air, she wondered idly what Professor Cheng would say if he could see her right now. She could almost hear his dry voice, "Oh? So you'd rather walk into traffic than go to your final, huh?"

She landed on the frigid ground and felt her head crack against the pavement. Her legs were crushed. Was that her thermos leaking? Or was it her own life force leaking from her damaged body? She knew the pain would come soon. 

Aili watched as the snowflakes feathered softly against the night sky. They were illuminated by the headlights of the truck, she distantly observed. It was almost as if it was not her who had gotten into the accident.

As she bordered in between life and death, she heard the sound of a bell. Ding!
A mechanical voice sounded.

[System initializing...]

The f*ck?! Was she really thinking about her favorite novels before she kicked the bucket? Was it a hallucination? Shouldn't her life be flashing before her eyes or something...

[System downloading.... Download Complete. ]
[.....]
[Congratulations! You won. You have been selected for the chance to use the Transmigrating Animal Communication System. Please say "okay" to claim your reward!]

Aili said, "..."
Why does this sound like a computer virus?! Didn't they just mash her majors together and add "transmigrating" to the beginning?! 
"No...no thank you."

[Congratulations, Host! You have said "thank you." This fulfills the requirements to install the system.]
[System installing....]

WTF?! You went ahead and downloaded without asking me and now you're installing when I didn't give permission?? Installing to what?! 

[System installation complete. Initializing set-up procedure.]

The mechanical voice suddenly adopted a masculine pitch. 

[Host, do you want to live?]

...
.........

What is this nonsense?

"No!" Aili blurted out. Why did its voice change? I don't understand what's going on!
[Error message: an unknown error has occurred. Repeating question one.]
[Host, do you want to live?]

She felt dumbfounded. "I'm not a host! I want to die! Who wants to live like this? I don't want to study anymore! Just let me die in peace!! So what if I die? I don't even have a job lined up!"

[Understood. Confirming response. Did you say, "I'm a host! I want to live like this! I want to study! Just let me! I don't even have a job!"]

Pei! What system. This is a virus! A virus!! 

She spit blood. She didn't know if it was from her injuries or from anger. She stayed silent and felt her body starting to cool down. Her eyes fluttered shut. Better to die than trust this shady hallucination.

[Response confirmed. Initializing transfer...]

Liu Aili's eyes snapped open. What do you mean initializing transfer?! I never agreed to this!!

Liu Aili was just a normal college student. 

Studying animal behavior and communication, she never thought that one day she would be like the stars of the novels she loved so much. 

During finals week, she had a mishap. She was so over-caffeinated and sleep deprived that she accidentally walked into the street without looking to see if a car was coming. 

CRASH!

Just like that, she was crushed by a truck.

Hovering between life and death, she heard something that came straight from the web novels she read.

System: [System initializing.....]
[........]
[Set up complete.]
[Host, do you want to live?]

Asked this simple question, Liu Aili responded right away, "No!"

System: [.....]
[Error Message: An unknown error occurred.]
[Repeat. Host, do you want to live?]

"I'm not a host! I want to die! Who wants to live like this? I don't want to study anymore! Just let me die in peace!!"

System: [Understood. Confirming response. Did you say "I'm a host! I want to live! I want to study! Just let me!"] 

Liu Aili, spurting blood, Pei! This cheap system!! Leave me in peace!!!

"Zijin, look at Qiao Nan, no matter how bad she is, she is very hardworking in her studies. You are as intelligent as me, if you put in more effort and time, you would definitely be better than Qiao Nan. I would do anything for you. You must strive and work hard so that I can stand up straight in front of your Dad!"
She has devoted everything into nurturing the elder daughter. She must be successful to prove that she was right all along.
"I understand, Mom. Don't worry, I will study hard. When I enter high school I will catch up on my my studies and I will definitely make you proud." Qiao Zijin felt a twinge of guilt at using up all the savings at home.
"Alright, school starts tomorrow. Remember to do more reading. Worst comes to worst, just memorize all the textbooks. If Qiao Nan can do it, so can you."
Ding Jiayi was brimming with confidence. It seemed that she could already see the day whereby the elder daughter enrolled into college.
"Okay." Qiao Zijin smiled happily. But she became depressed when she was back in her room.
It did not matter whether Ding Jiayi was unhappy or not, the study room ended up being Qiao Nan's new room, and Qiao Nan's old room now became Qiao Dongliang's study room.
Though Ding Jiayi bickered with Qiao Dongliang about this, seeing that he had made up his mind, that night she straightened and tidied up the new study room.
The next day Qiao Dongliang was home earlier than usual. As soon as he reached home, he headed for Qiao Nan's room, took a look inside and installed a lock outside her room. Ding Jiayi was boiling with anger. 
What was this lock for? To guard against who?
It was definitely not to keep out thieves, it must be to guard against her!
Qiao Nan, who was at school, had no idea of this at all. Back in the classroom, people were discussing her unusual performance in the recent exams.
Teacher Chen had intended to have a talk with Qiao Nan. But when he saw how dejected she looked, he could not bear to say another word. "Qiao Nan, though you did not do well this time, you have a strong foundation, and your performance was still pretty good in the class. It's just that you did not maintain your usual standard. If you meet with any problems in your studies, feel free to come to me, understand?" 
Qiao Nan had never scored below 90 points for her Maths exams, a full score was the usual case.
This time she scored 85 points; to others it was a pretty good result, but to Qiao Nan it was an unprecedented low score. 
In this round of pre-testing, there were more than 240 students from secondary three. Qiao Nan used to be among the top ten, but now she was ranked at around 70th to 80th place.
If it had not been for Teacher Chen who noticed Qiao Nan's results and insisted on finding out the ranking for individual subjects, Qiao Nan would know her exact ranking among the cohort.
Teacher Chen pondered for a while and walked up to Qiao Nan. "Qiao Nan, how did you spend your summer break? Did you do some revision?"
In the past, Teacher Chen never had to worry about Qiao Nan's studies, but this time he was shocked by Qiao Nan's results.
Qiao Nan did not know if she should be sad or relieved. The best result in her class was a score of 92 points and her result of 85 points was actually considered above average.
Picking up what she used to study in school was really not an easy task. Qiao Nan could feel despair sinking in.
"All my textbooks are gone."
"Gone?" Teacher Chen looked at Qiao Nan in surprise. "Where have they gone?"
"My Mom sold them."
After the rebirth, Qiao Nan had sorted out her thoughts. She would no longer hide the deeds her mother has done. No, she did not wanted to gain sympathy, it was just that she felt it necessary for people concerned to understand her situation and to give her a helping hand when needed.
She really needed her teacher's help to give her some coaching in order for her to work on her results and to catch up to her usual standard.
Teacher Chen was rendered speechless. They would be doing revision in the second half of secondary three. There wouldn't be any new knowledge points. The middle school exams would cover a large portion of secondary one and two syllabus.
What kind of parents would sell all the textbooks when they knew that their child would be taking the exams soon? Was it intentional?
Thinking of what he overheard recently Teacher Chen asked, "Qiao Nan, I heard that your sister enrolled in the The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China?"
The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China was a good high school in the area, but it was not easy to enroll in.
"Yes, today is the enrollment, she will be starting school officially." Qiao Nan was stunned for a moment. The saying was right, good news went unnoticed while bad news travels fast.
The act of using money to buy results might not be news ten years later, but it was very rare now. Furthermore, her mother used that money to pull strings instead of buying results.
If father knew that mother went to look for that grandpa all because of Qiao Zijin, he would surely explode in anger.
Teacher Chen's countenance fell.
If one would say that Qiao Nan could enroll in the The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, he would have no doubt about it; but Qiao Zijin? He did not believe it. Besides, it was hard fact that Qiao Zijin has always been an average student, there was no way that she could make it to that high school.
Teacher Chen did not wish to speculate about how Qiao Zijin manage to enroll in that high school, let alone make wild conjectures about Qiao Nan's mother purpose in selling her textbooks.
Teacher Chen was puzzled when Qiao Nan had only scored 85 points in the exams. But now he understood and felt sorry for her instead. "It's alright if your textbooks are gone. I will come up with a solution. Your foundation is good, there's still a year to go, you can definitely catch up. You know the way to my house. Whenever you have any questions, feel free to come looking for me. Understand?"
"Thank you, teacher." Qiao Nan no longer felt dispirited. She plucked up her courage and said, "Regarding my textbooks, I have already settled the problem."
"How?"
"I went to the thrift shop to buy a set of textbooks. I have been reading up. I will definitely trouble you for areas that I am unclear of." 
Teacher Chen smiled. "No troubles at all. Qiao Nan, don't give yourself too much stress. You must learn to strike a balance between work and rest, understand?"
"Alright, I will."
Maths results were out, next would be Chinese and English.
Qiao Nan's grade for Chinese was about the same as her Maths. She scored a few marks above eighty. It was an average grade. For those questions that required memorizing, she scored zero marks for them.
Those students who did not know the inside story were all shocked when they found out that Qiao Nan had not fared well for two subjects in a row. Some were gloating while some were speculating that something must have gone wrong with her, either she had become stupid or she had gone astray. 
The top student that they all looked up to had fallen from grace in just one summer break's time?Top student to slacker in two months' time?
The Chinese subject was taught by a pretty and gentle female teacher. Teacher Lee was exasperated when she saw Qiao Nan's results. She did not get a good sleep last night, her mind was preoccupied with how she was going to knock some sense into Qiao Nan. She did not want her to feel that since her results has always been good, there was no need to put in hard work. She had thoroughly disappointed her with her results.


Qiao Nan: Crap! I am your biological daughter, yet I am treated as if I was picked up from the streets. In fact, you treat me worse than that!

Mother Qiao: Qiao Nan, you are not as pretty or smart as your elder sister. You are not as blessed as her. You have no right to study, marry, or to have your happiness!

Qiao Nan: Why am I not allowed to study, marry, or to seek my happiness? I will find a man right now and marry him!

Qiao Nan is dumbstruck upon discovering that the man right beside her is a powerful figure in the quad—the person who has the most promising prospects to be the future Chief.

Qiao Nan stares at the well-built man in front of her. He has firm abs and cold, chilling eyes. She swallows the lump in her throat as she says her greetings, "Good Morning, Chief!"

Only a secret admirer would commit such a foolish crime. Qin Guan’s companions looked at each other in confusion.
"I don't want to say any more. You can go, Qin Guan."
Qin Guan and Sister Xue left conscientiously. Considering that there hadn’t been any real injury, that was the best they could expect.
They had acknowledged the existence of a criminal and left it up to Cabben to catch him. It was time to call it a day.
They drove quietly on the way back. Without a detective on site, that was the best result they could have hoped for. At least they would be more vigilant in the future.
The model from the Pickle Nation would be on Cabben’s black list from that day on, which was no trifling matter. 
People had to pay for their stupid behavior, but clever men escaped unscathed.
Qin Guan returned home and put on his favorite colorful shorts. He took out a beer out of the fridge and drank it. Cong Nianwei was asleep in the bedroom. In the living room, the TV was broadcasting boring TV shows on mute. Qin Guan had been busy the whole summer, so he’d missed the European Cup.
Fortunately, I didn’t miss her. All his anger and pressure dissipated at the sight of Cong Nianwei’s back. 
On the desk, several blueprints were rustling in the breeze. After a hard day, Qin Guan fell asleep on the couch.
Cong Nianwei was woken up by his heavy breathing. She went to the living room and covered him gently with a blanket.
"Sweet dreams!"
It was a dreamless night.
As the saying went, no pain, no gain. As juniors, Qin Guan and Wang Lei finally had some kind of routine. They wouldn't be cheated by Ye Dong though. Ye had become Vice Chairman and an honorable CCP member during the new semester.
Qin Guan couldn’t help but annoy his classmates by getting the top college scholarship, but his roommates didn’t care about that. Without any family education courses, Qin Guan felt relaxed. He could finally calm down and find a good job in his spare time.
While he was explaining his splendid future plans to Wang Lei with his new textbooks in hand, a girl called him from behind, "Senior Qin!"
It was Mou Xiaoliu. Qin Guan turned around and saw Huang Jiajia next to her. After enrolling at college, Huang Jiajia had found herself again, and her mother had come to appreciate the spoiled fashionista that she was.
Qin Guan gestured at Huang Jiajia to stop her from rushing up to him. He asked Mou instead, "Why are you two together?"
"She has enrolled at our college."
"What? That’s impossible with her score!" 
"Many ways lead to Rome. I could have a specialty or a sponsor. Who cares?"
Qin Guan waved at Wang Lei, who was watching the scene happily. He handed his books to him and said, "It’s nothing. She’s just my student. Go! I’ll explain later."
     Then he turned to Huang Jiajia. Before he could say anything, Hang Jiajia beat him to it. "I’m your schoolmate now, I’m no longer your student. I like you and I’ll chase you!"
Mou was stunned. Why had Huang Jiajia confessed so suddenly? Wang Lei stumbled on a stone not far away and ran away in a hurry. (He had definitely been eavesdropping.)
Annoyed, Qin Guan told Mou, "I want have a private word with her." Mou left as soon as possible.
Qin Guan led the smiling Huang Jiajia to a pavilion nearby.
"Huang Jiajia, I have a girlfriend."
"I know, I’ve met her. So what? No one can predict the future." 
"Listen to me. Frankly, we are just teacher and student. Nothing else. You might be in the same college as me now, but you will always be like a little sister to me, no matter how many years pass." 
"But..."
"Huang Jiajia, I don’t like ambiguous emotions. You had never made a clear confession like this, so I couldn't say anything." (Actually, it’s a little cruel to treat a girl like this.)
"But... I really like you." Tears filled Huang Jiajia’s eyes.
"I appreciate your feelings, but I’m only a tough guy with good looks. It would be irresponsible of me if I reciprocated your love. I’m not good at nice words or delicate rejections. I’m sorry."
"What if you broke up with your girlfriend?" Huang Jiajia was unwilling to give up. 
Closing his eyes, Qin Guan tried to imagine Cong Nianwei leaving him. He felt pain in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, he opened eyes again. "No, never! I love her. If she wants to leave me though, I’ll give her my most sincere blessing."
Huang Jiajia burst into tears. Her budding blossom of love, which had been waiting to burst open, withered. She cried her broken heart out. Tears poured from her eyes, ruining her makeup, but Qin Guan didn't think she looked ridiculous. 


Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

In the morning, Ren Xiaosu was doing some reading in the library. Meanwhile, An Yuqian was snoring loudly as he slept in his chair at the entrance.
When the sun shone onto An Yuqian's face from the outside, he would even cover his face with a book to shield himself from the light.
Every morning, when Ren Xiaosu arrived, he would automatically give ten yuan to An Yuqian. Moreover, there was no need for Ren Xiaosu to keep calling An Yuqian anymore as he would be waiting at the door every day at 8.30 AM sharp while yawning.
Gradually, An Yuqian found it extremely uncomfortable that he had to always sleep like that. He used to always play mahjong throughout the night before heading home to sleep well during the morning. But since Ren Xiaosu started coming to the library, he could only sleep while sitting in his chair at the library.
How could sleeping in a chair be more comfortable than sleeping in a bed?
As no one else was using the library, An Yuqian purposely observed what Ren Xiaosu was reading. However, he died laughing when he saw that Ren Xiaosu was actually reading the tenth grade textbooks for math, physics, and chemistry!
Ren Xiaosu's persistence in coming to the library for so many days finally made An Yuqian change his opinion of him. He had thought that for once, a studious kid had finally come to the library. But to his surprise, this studious kid could only read tenth grade textbooks.
Judging by Ren Xiaosu's age, shouldn't he be in 12th grade at the least? So it turned out he was just a weak student who was starting to study from scratch?
An Yuqian counted on his fingers and realized the college entrance exams were only three months away. How could he make it in time if he was still only studying the tenth grade curriculum?
Even though An Yuqian was pacing around him, Ren Xiaosu did not bother looking at him.
An Yuqian could not help saying, "Isn't it a little too late to study now? The college entrance exams are only three months away!"
Ren Xiaosu looked up at him. "I'm not sitting for the entrance exams."
"You're not sitting for the entrance exams? Then why are you studying tenth grade math, physics, and chemistry?" An Yuqian asked in surprise. "Shouldn't you start working at a factory after you graduate from high school? What's the point of learning all this stuff?"
"Knowledge will always be useful, and whatever I learn belongs to me," Ren Xiaosu said calmly.
An Yuqian shrugged and turned around. "Just don't forget to pay for my breakfast every morning. If not for you, I wouldn't need to eat breakfast. This expenditure is incurred only because of you."
"OK," Ren Xiaosu said.
However, An Yuqian suddenly realized that other than Ren Xiaosu, there was another group of students who came to study in the afternoon. There were over 20 male and female students, and they had been sitting in the library all afternoon for several days in a row.
Even though there were also others who came to study in the afternoon, it would not be so frequent and scheduled. Furthermore, their numbers were always the same. This group of students… actually sat next to Ren Xiaosu in an organized and disciplined manner.
After waking up in the afternoon, An Yuqian got closer to have a look and realized Wang Yuchi and the others were reading books related to mechanical engineering. This topic exceeded the syllabus of high school.
When the library was about to close, Wang Yuchi suddenly said to Ren Xiaosu, "Monitor, should we go home now since it's closing time?"
An Yuqian was stunned. The young man who paid for his breakfast every day was actually the class monitor of this group of students? These normal students were learning knowledge beyond their years while the monitor was still studying tenth grade textbooks? What sort of nonsensical crap was this.
Ren Xiaosu took a look at the sky and said, "Y'all can head back first. I wanna read a little while longer."
"Hey!" An Yuqian could not sit still anymore. "Dontcha know it's time for me to leave too?!"
"I'll give you 50 yuan," Ren Xiaosu said without even raising his head.
An Yuqian said unhappily, "That won't do. I have to leave now to play mahjong. Who knows if I'll recover my losses tonight!"
Ren Xiaosu quietly put the book back onto the bookshelf before turning to leave.
The first thing Ren Xiaosu said when he saw An Yuqian the next morning was, "So did you recover your losses?"
"Kid, why are you so annoying?" An Yuqian was upset. "Should you even be asking something like that?"
"Then you must have lost." Ren Xiaosu slapped a ten-yuan bill into An Yuqian's hand. "Go on, get your breakfast."
As An Yuqian held the ten-yuan bill, he felt insulted.
In the afternoon, when Wang Yuchi and the others came to the library again, An Yuqian suddenly sat down across from Ren Xiaosu. Ren Xiaosu looked up at him in surprise. "What's up?"
An Yuqian said, "You guys must be trying to learn more about mechanical engineering, right? However, you're all reading the wrong books!"
Ren Xiaosu frowned. He glanced at the books Wang Yuchi and the other students were holding. "Then what books should they be reading?"
Without a teacher's guidance, they had to learn everything by themselves. It was like crossing a river while holding a stone in their arms. Their progress was extremely slow.
Although Jiang Wu was a teacher, she was only a language teacher.
An Yuqian replied, "For 500 yuan, I'll tell you all what books you should read!"
In response, Ren Xiaosu threw 500 yuan over. Wang Yuchi whispered from beside him, "Monitor, why do I get the feeling that he's a scammer?"
Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "A scammer can't possibly not even have any money for breakfast."
An Yuqian wanted to curse out loud. Ren Xiaosu was insinuating that he was not even qualified to be a scammer!
An Yuqian said with a sneer, "If you want to properly study mechanical engineering, don't try to run before you learn how to walk. You have to first learn math and physics!"
Ren Xiaosu leaned back in his chair and listened quietly. Meanwhile, Wang Yuchi and the others opened their notebooks and were preparing to take notes.
"I suggest you all first read Chen Jixiu's Mathematical Analysis as an introduction, then learn linear algebra. You won't have learned enough about this topic in high school."
"There's no need to read General Physics." An Yuqian threw a book onto the table. "Just read The Feynman Lectures on Physics."
"True Analysis… Forget it, you don't have to read that yet."
"As for the Methods of Mathematical Physics, you can have a look at Wang Dexin's books. All the books cover real functions, special functions, equations, and so on. There isn't much of a difference between them.
"You should also read up on thermodynamics."
An Yuqian kept talking for half an hour. Ren Xiaosu started to get the feeling that it would take several years to learn everything. But at this moment, An Yuqian smacked his lips and said, "And that's just the beginning. If you really want to gain a deeper understanding of mechanical engineering, you're all seriously lacking!"
Ren Xiaosu finally understood. So this guy was just rambling and trying to let off some steam. However, Ren Xiaosu also realized that An Yuqian was not an ordinary person. Even a scammer would probably not recite all that just to earn 500 yuan. Most importantly, no one could possibly teach him how to say what he just said.
Ren Xiaosu looked at An Yuqian and said, "If you teach them, I'll pay you 500 yuan for each lesson."
An Yuqian's eyes lit up, but he immediately held himself back. "But my time is very precious."
"400."
"Hey, why is the offer getting lower?!"
"300."
"Alright, I'll teach! 500 yuan! And not a cent less!"
Only then did Ren Xiaosu smile. "If you don't teach them well, I won't pay you."
"How can I not teach them well?" An Yuqian's eyes widened. "I… Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you!"
But An Yuqian suddenly felt there was much more about this young man before him than he had thought. Would a normal student pay 500 yuan just to attend a lesson?


This is a brand new story.
Survive the darkness, see the light
There is no right or wrong, it just depends on which side you are standing on.
To be a god, or to be a man.
To be good, or to be evil.
Just what is...the highest order of weapon that humanity has?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a great catastrophe struck, the world was set back many years and humanity started living in anarchy.
With time, society started building up again and people were now living in walled strongholds and fringe towns across the land.
Humans have also become distrustful and ruthless in an unforgiving society where the strong survive and the weak are eliminated.
Growing up in such an era, Ren Xiaosu had to fend for himself.
After an incident, he gained supernatural powers...

Chapter 1220: My Name Was Written In Your Books
They drove to the university. Since the new semester was about to start, there were many students at the campus.
Bai Xiaolian was still in detention. It was normal for the college students to follow current gossip trends when a provoker started a malicious topic, but once the provoker was caught, the gossip followers would disperse into thin air. A typical college student's immature mentality.
When Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei appeared at the campus, they attracted a lot of curious glances from bystanders but no one dared to approach them.
Ye Yuwei took Gu Juexi to many places on the campus. Their sports field, their cafeteria, their grove, even the lecture halls.
Students who had signed up for the postgraduate exams occupied the study rooms in the academic building. The rest of the students who had returned to the campus were either unpacking their luggage or out shopping with their friends.
Ye Yuwei pulled Gu Juexi into a lecture hall that had a few students studying in it. Ye Yuwei quietly guided Gu Juexi to sit in the last row of the hall. A message was written on the blackboard which said that the hall would be occupied at 7.30 p.m. tonight to take attendance. Taking attendance was the first thing they did when a new semester started.
Gu Juexi never spent a day in college. He returned to China at the age of fifteen and joined the military a year later. Despite the stack of certificates with his name on them, he never attended school or sat in a regular lecture hall like this.
Ye Yuwei cupped her chin with one hand, looked at the man sitting next to her and whispered, "Hi, my name is Ye Yuwei. I'm a student in class xx of the School of Economics. Let's be friends."
Gu Juexi tilted his head at her, his gaze unflinching. "No."
Ye Yuwei frowned. Did he just reject her so directly?
Ye Yuwei turned away angrily and laid her head on the table. The man was hopelessly unromantic.
Gu Juexi looked at the woman lying on the table while looking out of the window.
"In any case, I should be your lecturer instead, Miss Ye," Gu Juexi murmured. His voice was soft so as to not disturb the students but loud enough for Ye Yuwei to hear him.
It made sense though since Gu Juexi was eight years older than Ye Yuwei.
Her head still on the table, Ye Yuwei slowly turned around and looked at the man who was tapping his fingers on the table. "Will you teach economics?"
"I see that there are national defense[1] students in your school." He had spotted a flag-raising platform when they were walking around the campus. It was where the national defense students performed their daily flag-raising ceremony.
"Yes, we do." Ye Yuwei nodded in confusion, but then a thought struck her.
He had never really put that place behind him! Hmph!
Ye Yuwei turned her head away again, sulking.
Gu Juexi curled his hand into a fist and rested his head on it. He reached over and stroked the sulking Ye Yuwei's head as he said, "I heard from your Professor Zhou that you wrote my name in your economics textbooks."
Ye Yuwei was so surprised, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. She turned around abruptly and stared at Gu Juexi. Why did Professor Zhou tell him that?
It was so embarrassing!
Ye Yuwei's embarrassed expression reminded him very much of their daughter. Gu Juexi figured that this was one of the reasons why he spoiled Xixi rotten. Perhaps Ye Yuwei had made the same expression when she was little.
The private meeting with Professor Zhou the other day had been approved by Professor Zhou's wife for the sole purpose of him telling Gu Juexi not to hurt Ye Yuwei again.
Gu Juexi was very respectful of Professor Zhou and his wife because of their generous benevolence towards Ye Yuwei.
"So where are your books?" Gu Juexi asked with an amused smile as he stared into the eyes of the woman in front of him.
[1] National Defense students are a type of university student unique to China. Military education and training in China in a fundamental form of higher learning covers defense education as quired by The Military Service Law of the People's Republic of China.


He was the powerful and influencing heir of B City, the merciless head of the commercial world, but the divorce papers made him lose his cool. 
“Sign the divorce papers, daddy,” said the 5-year-old boy. 
This man had the divorce papers thrown in his face by his wife six years ago, and was now being pushed by his own son to sign the papers. 
“That would make you a single-parent child,” said Gu Juexi coldly. 
“Mommy said unicorns don’t exist but men like you do,” the boy leered at his father and said. 
Gu Juexi’s face fell. ‘That damned woman.’
“You haven’t signed the papers,” the boy reminded as the man left. As usual, the door shut in his face. 
Good lord… Dad and mom are not getting a divorce and are giving him a baby brother? How worrying!

Nakagawa Aokiji did not mean literal sacrifice.
"The game that was created by Class 4 of the second grade was a game called [Nonexistent Person]. The rules of the game were straightforward, select a person from the class and ignore him completely. Treat him like an invisible man and pay no attention to whatever he did. In short, treat him like a nonexistent person."
The winter was over, and the spring weather was nice and cool. Even though it was close to dawn, the temperature at night was still freezing.
After listening to what Aokiji just said, a sudden chill came over them as they felt a strong sense of absurdity. It was not because they were frightened, it was because they did not expect that the vast fire incident was all because of a game.
They didn't really understand the details of the incident. They knew that the protagonists of the event were all the students from the fourth class of the second grade, and a transfer student, Ito Shunji.
Indeed. At that time, the students intended to choose the person by drawing lots after they came up with the game.
However, nobody wanted to be the [Nonexistent Person]. So someone suggested that since all of them already knew about the game, it would defeat the purpose of the game, even if they succeeded in choosing someone to be the [Nonexistent Person].
The reason was that the chosen person would have known about this game and that everybody else was just acting. If it were the case, the game would be meaningless and therefore, no fun.
As a result, the students of Class 4 of the second grade racked their brains to think of a way to optimize the game.
Just when they almost wanted to give up, the teacher announced that a student would transfer to their school in a few days.
The students from Class 4 of the second grade were very excited. They had finally found the most suitable person to be the [Nonexistent Person]!
And this was the initial cause of the fire incident in Akichi High School.
"Aokiji, how could we not know about this incident?!" Masato Yamazaki freaked out upon hearing it, but he was not done talking, "You didn't even inform us before coming here."
The others nodded along. Although they did know a little regarding the incident, they were definitely not as well informed as Aokiji.
Aokiji smiled, "I'm telling you guys right now for the sake of intensifying the atmosphere. Wouldn't it be very boring if you knew about it earlier?"
Even though they came to Akichi High School without preparation, Aokiji had already inquired into the incident, mainly to enhance the atmosphere while exploring the high school.
Based on what he could see, it was beneficial.
"But wouldn't the teacher step in?" Chiba Shiori suddenly opened her mouth. She looked at Aokiji and asked, "Normally, when a student transfers to another school, he would have to make a self-introduction… Don't tell me, the game had already started that time?"
Even if the game started and all his classmates treated Ito Shunji as the [Nonexistent Person], he could still talk to the teachers and students from other classes.
If this happened, Class 4 of the second grade would not be able to pull off the game.
Kimura Kazuki glanced at Shiori and nodded. This story was indeed full of flaws from his point of view. Maybe it was just like what Aokiji said, it was only to enhance the atmosphere.
"It was said that even the teachers participated in the game," Aokiji did not ignore Shiori's question and replied directly. "As for the students from other classes, Class 4 of the second grade had told them in advance. The game that was only supposed to be played amongst themselves eventually became a game that was played by the whole school."
Aokiji noticed the doubt on Shiori's face and smiled.
 "At that time, the President of the Student Union of Akichi High School was from Class 4 of the second grade, and he was the biggest delinquent in the school."
"Huh? I thought only those who are good in studies and of excellent moral characters can be the Student Union President?" Suzuki Aichi remarked, "When I was in high school, a senior of that nature held the post of President of the Student Union."
Without waiting for Aokiji to reply, Yasuda Aoi, who was standing next to him, smiled and said, "Aichi, yours was a special case. For the sake of the college entrance examination, the majority of high school students were devoted to learning, both mentally and physically. Along with the addition of club activities, they couldn't serve in the student union."
Aokiji rolled his eyes at Yasuda Aoi, who talked out of turn. He knew that Yasuda wanted to show off in front of Aichi and thus, decided not to say much.
Kazuki nodded quietly, seemingly deep in thought.
One could only do so much. Kazuki could study and hold the positions of the Head of Department of Sword Believers' Club and the President of the Student Union at the same time.
He believed that no one in the school would reject him if he wished to be President.
In spite of that, he did not do so as it would be very tiring. There was a limit to what a man could do, it would be impossible for him to do that.
The person who was serving as the President of the Student Union in Sakura Kyu Academy was one of the members of the Sword Believers' Club, Yanagawa Izumi.
This guy's grades were awful, he did not have the inborn talent for studying. His study plan for the guy was basically useless, which was why Kazuki told him to be the President of the Student Union.
The college entrance examination in Japan was different from those of other countries.
The examination was divided into two sessions. The first session primarily consisted of written exam to examine the capability of mastering knowledge from textbooks. The second session would be either a college interview or a professional assessment, testing one's ability, and also his skill in answering questions.
These two sessions of examination could help in further discovering the students' potentials. They would then enroll the students based on their performance or overall results.
If Yanagawa Izumi fails his written exam, he might still get a chance to further his study, as he was the former President of the Student Union.
"Those female leads in anime, paragons of virtue, serving as the Student Union Presidents and the Head of Department in clubs, bantering flirtatiously with the male lead, are fictitious," Sakai Reiko who was next to him mocked.
Aokiji could not help but smile. The horrifying atmosphere that he rendered just now dissipated after all the interruption.
Contrary to what one might expect, Shiori had been thinking. Unlike Kazuki, she was a real novelist. Even though the sales of her first published work was not very good, at least she had taken the first step to become a novelist.
The editor told her that there were two quick ways to gain popularity.
First, she could write a light novel that was guaranteed to be popular. As long as it was well-liked, manga, cartoon adaptation and popularity would come surging.
Secondly, she could write a non-mainstream light novel, gather some fans first, and make steadfast progress. There was no need to reach for what was beyond her grasp.
Which was why she chose the supernatural genre. And for the sake of writing, today she deliberately came to Akichi High School, a school that was discussed on all paranormal forums and infamous for its supernatural incidents.
"Mr. Nakagawa, how did you know about these?" Shiori realized that she was straightforward and smiled faintly.
"I apologize, I just wanted to know about the incident five years ago as it will help me in my writing."
Aokiji laughed, "There really is nothing to hide. If you investigate thoroughly, you will find out something about the fire incident five years ago. Almost all the students in Class 4, the second grade were taken away. There was actually a sick student who had requested a leave of absence and was resting in the dormitory. He managed to escape death by sheer luck."


Time travelling from the majestic era after the Recuperation of Reiki, he became Kimura Kazuki, a 16-year-old high school student in Japan, one year before the Reiki Recuperation.

Tentatively, he set out to hone himself to the bone, burning candles at both ends to stockpile resources in preparation for the imminent Recuperation of Reiki. His goal was to be many steps ahead of all humanity when the time comes.

However, it seemed like fate had decided to play a cruel trick on him.

One year later, the Recuperation of Reiki... did not happen as expected.

"Heaven used to be a peaceful realm, the gods had built themselves a flourishing society that could could only be described as perfection. However nothing lasts forever, many gods and goddesses fell prey to their lust for power and decided to fight the great Chi for the right to rule over heaven"

Michelangelo paused as I looked up to my teacher with a questioning gaze.

"I thought the great Chi was invincible. How could there be so many gods willing to challenge him?"

My history teacher Mr.Mosby was a middle aged man with a disposition that made others relaxed around him, he was average height and had a large beard that only added to the warm aura he had.

He pulled out one of our course textbooks from his desk drawer and walked towards the board and he slowly wrote out.

"Power is everything"

He turned to look at me before reading out from his  book "Chi is the creator god but not the only creator. There are six other creator gods who helped Chi establish heaven. Can you name them? They are in the reading I assigned last week"

"Why did I ask" Michelangelo thought "I haven't even read that portion of the textbook." As he remained silent while looking around the classroom for someone who could bail him out, a stifled laughter started to come from the seat behind him.

Just as the embarassment on his face was becoming obvious, a girl at the far left corner of the room spoke up.

"Igwe, Ala, Anyanwu, Amadioha, Ekwensu and Onwa."

"Good. At least one of you reads the material " Mr. Mosby said as he gestured for the reading to continue.

Michelangelo stole a glance at the girl who had spoken up but she had her eyes on whatever it was outside the classroom window and she didn't notice his gaze. 
The girl looked a little drowsy,  as if she wasn't paying attention to anything in around her but when she had answered the question there wasn't a hint of drowsiness or tiredness in her voice, only what seemed like boredom.

"The great Chi fought for six days with the other creator gods but it resulted in a stalemate with none able to claim the right to rule. It was then decided that the fighting shall be done between their creations as the greatest creator god should have the strongest creations. This was the start of the Champion games."

He sat down having finished the section of the book he was asked to read and then Mr. Mosby asked another student to continue where that point.

As he sat down the student behind him began to whisper into his ear.

"I told you to read up but as always you'd rather play with that stupid garden than listen to me" the student said.

Not wanting to get in trouble for talking in class,  Michelangelo ignored him and tried to listen to the remainder of the lesson about the creation gods and the realms they ruled over but it was just too boring for him to pay attention and he fell asleep.
"Mikey wake up"
An annoyed voice sounded into his ear as he was forced awake. Looking up he saw the student that sat behind him, his friend Deuce.
"Everyone has left already, we're the last ones. I packed your things now lets go."
Mumbling a barely audible ok, Mikey stood up and grabbed his bag before walking back home with Deuce.
Mikey and Deuce had known each other from the time they were barely able to walk, their parents were neighbours and were very friendly with each other which lead to them growing up like brothers.
They also had a heated rivalry as brothers often do. Deuce was incredibly intelligent and would often finish in the first or second spot in class, while Mikey was more athletic and had been the star man for the school's track and swim teams.
On the way home they spoke about many things before the topic finally reached  of the champion games.
The champion games were held every ten years alternating between the seven realms under the creator gods and to represent one's realm in the competiton was an honour very few could have.
Most people would only care to watch the competition and not have any dreams about participating but Mikey and Deuce were different.
Although it seemed like an impossible task the people that accomplished it were still human. If one did not even dare to dream how was one different from a plant that only grew and waited to die.
The two of them also knew that dreams were not enough and that one had to have plans, which was why they hoped to enter Hodon college and increase their chances.
Deuce's mother had only narrowly missed out on being a representative back when she was in her twenties and she had been the main influence on the two boys wanting to participate. Hodon college was also her alma mater which added a bit of bias to their decision on where to attend college.
As they reached their homes they noticed a white horse right outside Deuce's house. The horse was rather big and was definately over two metres tall, as they circled round it they saw a golden lion badge on the horse's saddle.
Seeing the badge the boys initial curiosity turned to excitement as they new that a lion badge was the symbol of representatives from their realm and a golden lion meant that the person wan't just a representative but a past winner.
Struggling to contain his excitement Mikey was just about to touch the badge when Deuce pulled him back in a hurry.
"Are you trying to kill yourself? Even if you want to die there are better ways" said Deuce with a solemn expression on his face.
"What do you mean? I was only trying to take a look what harm could that cause?" Mikey blinked with confusion
"If you didn't speak I would forget how stupid you are sometimes. We haven't learnt to harness chi yet and you still want to touch it"
Mikey gave a look as if saying '𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘭 ?'
"You really need to stop read more and stop playing in that garden"
Suddenly a calm voice came from behind startling the two of them.
"Do you want to die?"

Michelangelo is a young boy who has dreams of who becoming god's champion, the most respected title in all the seven realms, but to achieve this goal he must walk over others with the same goal.

Sophia Green had been seventeen years old when she had been in a car accident. It was during the summer holiday of her sophomore year. After the accident, Kate Green had managed to get Sophia's schooling suspended, and now that she was recovered, it was time to go back.
High school memories were far away for one of the Sophia Greens. At school, she had always been the one to be specially taken care of and looked after. Now, she was looking forward to going to school like a normal student.
"I'll go with you," said Kate anxiously.
"Oh, please, Mom. Take a rest. It's just some readmission formalities. I can do it."
Kate Green had married early. She was only thirty-nine years old, but she looked older, thanks to the sadness and worries of the past few years.
Sophia Green felt very sorry for taking up her daughter's body. She didn't want Kate Green to worry or work for her anymore. She didn't want to trouble this lady who was now her mother if it was something she could do herself.
It was enrollment day, no classes, just handing out textbooks and getting organized for the year ahead. They didn't live far from the school, and Sophia wheeled her bike out of the apartment block and headed to school.
It was the first time she, Sophia Green, had ridden a bike. Thanks to the other Sophia's memories, she found her muscles knew what to do, and she felt like she was flying. After ten minutes of glorious cycling, she arrived at school.
Armed with the relevant papers, Sophia Green entered the Office of Academic Affairs.
"Hello. I'd like to come back to school."
She put the documents on the director's desk. In her alternate memory, she found she knew this man, a difficult person, it seemed, called Mr. Bull. "I had an accident two years ago, and I recently got released from the hospital, so I'd like to return to school."
Director Bull had been reading when she entered. He raised his head on hearing the words. He glanced up at Sophia Green and started.
She was back! The troublemaker was back! He had thought Sophia Green would never come back to school even if she did wake up, and here she was, right in front of him.
Was she coming to school right out of the hospital? She should take more rest, he thought. If only so he could make her wait another year before she was readmitted.
Thinking about Sophia Green's previous behavior at school made him shudder. Director Bull desperately wanted to find a way to prevent her from coming back. Her grades had been terrible and he was sure she would never be admitted to university. He hated bad students who lowered the school's college enrollment rate.
He thought for a moment, cleared his throat, and said, "Sophia Green, right? Here's the thing. Our school is one of the key high schools in the area so there are some strict conditions for enrollment. Even though you studied here before, you have to pass an exam before continuing onto 11th grade."
"Exam?" Sophia was confused.
"Yes, an exam. You can't go to college if your grades are too low, can you? And then it would be no use going onto 11th grade, right?" Director Bull nodded as he spoke.
He knew Sophia Green would never pass an exam. Her study habits had been the worst before the accident, and now she had been in a coma for two years. She couldn't have got any better!
Then he could use her low grades to deny her application to enter the 11th grade. At the very least, he could arrange for her to study in 10th grade for another year. Then it wouldn't affect the school's college enrollment rate this year.
Sophia had no memory of this rule. Was it a new rule, or was Director Bull making it up to make things difficult? She didn't know.
But an exam… that didn't bother her.
"Okay. I'll take the examination. But, what mark do I need to pass?"
Director Bull thought Sophia would find an excuse not to take the exam. He didn't expect that she would just agree. But he figured she was just an impulsive kid, and she obviously hadn't thought it through.
"Just take a math test. One hundred and fifty points in total. You're in if you can get ninety points."
This was the usual standard applied by the school when they held examinations—one hundred and fifty points in total and a ninety point pass mark.
A passing grade was not too much for a high school student. Director Bull's requirement sounded quite fair to her.
"All right, ninety points." she nodded.
"Just do it here. I'll be watching you." Director Bull didn't trust her one bit and wanted her where he could see her.
"I know," Sophia answered a little impatiently. She could have finished the paper in the time they'd been talking. When she was admitted to Glinton University, she had got the highest entry score with full marks in math.
Director Bull turned around and searched in the cupboard. Suddenly, he had an idea and took out a test paper.
"This one."
He handed the test paper to Sophia. She took a look at the questions, picked up her pen, and began to write. She didn't even bother with calculations, just thought for a while and wrote the answer directly.
Director Bull looked on, puzzled, and decided she must have just given up and guessed.
Just then, a woman came in to look for Director Bull. She saw Sophia and said, amazed, "Is that Sophia Green? You recovered?!"
Sophia remembered this woman. It was Mrs. Acheson, who had taught her math in the tenth grade and was also her headteacher. She was a nice-looking middle-aged woman. In her other memory, she had recollections of Mrs. Acheson, often criticizing her.
"Hello, Mrs. Acheson." Sophia smiled, "I'm here to go through the readmission formalities. The director said I have to pass an exam, so I'm taking it now."
"When did we start this kind of regulation?" Mrs. Acheson frowned.
"The notice was just issued. It's not your area, so, of course, you wouldn't know." Director Bull responded.
"Isn't this year's college entrance exam paper? She hasn't learned this stuff yet! It's not appropriate for her. You must have got the wrong test paper." Mrs. Acheson taught mathematics herself. So she knew the level at one glance.
"That's why she'll pass as long as she can get ninety points. Anyway, what do you want? Do you want to talk to me?" Director Bull was scowling at her.
It reminded Mrs. Acheson of her reason for coming, "A student in my class has asked for five days' leave. The school regulations state that more than three days' leave must be approved by the director; that's right, isn't it? Here's the note." She handed a piece of paper to Director Bull.
"Kevin Green? This student is in the top thirty, right? Why is he taking so much leave? It will affect his studies."
On hearing the name "Kevin Green," Sophia Green stopped her writing and put down the pen.
Kevin Green was her brother.

For nearly 30 years of existence, she had been in a wheelchair, suffering from polio since childhood. While her freedom of movement had been diminished, the activity her brain had outstripped everyone. Unable to join in the rough of other children, she had spent all her lifetime reading, which gave her exceptional knowledge. 

She accomplished many outstanding achievements across several fields and became a famous Science Professor. Her life changed forever when she was caught in a suspicious fire in her lab. Rebirth occurred and when she comes back to life, she finds she is now in the body of another Sophia Green, a teenage high school bully.

Meanwhile, Albert Pearson, the first heir of the richest family around the country who hid his true identity becoming an assistant of Sophia Green has gone crazy after hearing the news of Sophia's death. 

He went back to his family and took advantage of his status to keep searching for the truth of that fire.

And one day he met a teenage girl whose name was Sophia Green...

Fate changes between them as they are seeking the truth behind her death! Could he recognize Sophia and confess his feelings?






Special Note: If you are looking for a sweet contemporary-romance genre, this novel doesn't have that kind of plot. Most plots of my novel talk about mystery, suspense, and a slice of life. Often FL starts a slow pace of development, from weak to strong.
