"Oof"
Two weeks have passed since the stock price of Alpha Medications started to rise. Slowly, the news of their new potion is spreading all over the place. People are lining up to buy the stocks of Alpha Medications because of this. Their stock price is skyrocketing even before they make their official announcement.
I sat on the bench and wiped my sweat. I have been working like crazy these days. Changes can be visible in my body. Unlike before, it is now somewhat muscular. The fruits of my hard work are shown.
I opened my status window.

"Hmm, not bad."
All my hard work can be seen here. It may not be seen as much, but to raise half of my stats up to F- was something to feel proud of.
Raising stats could be considered the most gruesome task. In order to raise your stats, one should consume a lot of potions and train diligently without fail.
For someone like me, who could only train diligently, raising my stats without any external help could be considered a huge accomplishment. Still, my stats are growing at a greater pace than those of any other student. There may be a gap between us right now, but I can fill it pretty soon, so there is no issue.
I took a look at the stock market, and the stock value of Alpha Medications is skyrocketing day by day as more and more people get to know about their new potion.
Every time the stock price rises, there is a sudden smile that appears on my face. But if a bigger party were to start in the near future, the cash flow would be immense. Even thinking about it makes me feel thrilled.
But it is too early to have my hopes high. As I think about the money that's about to come, I also think about the debt I have to repay.
Almost two months have passed since the moment I came to this world, but I still couldn't figure out what happened to the previous owner of this body, where he spent all that money, and why hasn't anyone contacted me till now to repay the debt. I have a lot of questions but little to no answers.
There is also something quite mysterious about this character. He might look like a proper extra, but a lot of things about him don't have any answers.
Things can become very troublesome if I'm not prepared, so I was practicing daily in order to fight my future adversaries.
Wiing---
At that moment, when I was thinking about what to do, I felt a vibration on my wrist. It was a message.
[An announcement from the Traveling club:]
===
●Hello everyone!
Many of the first-year students showed enthusiasm for joining the traveling club. We are very excited to welcome you all to this family.
We are planning to conduct our first trip this weekend, and this will also serve as the freshman orientation.
We will inform you about the rules of the clubs and the rest of the things that you need to take note of while traveling, and many more. So, all you newbies, get ready because we're going to meet this weekend.
Have a nice day, all of you. ===
"Hmm." It happened pretty quickly, as I expected. They are going to make more sections like these in the coming days. It also serves as a great opportunity for me to get to know people and make good connections with them.
In the coming few days, I'm going to be very busy with the club activities.
Well, I'm thinking about the trip I'm going to take in the next few days. The smartwatch once again vibrated.
[Academic Club Announcement: ]
===
●Hello everyone!
There will be an orientation for the academic club for the freshmen. So all the freshers who have joined the club should attend this.
All the remaining club members will also be present, and it would be a great opportunity for everyone to get to know each other. So all of you are requested to attend the orientation program, which will happen this Friday.
===
"Oof, the busy schedule from this has started."
****
"Is it this room or the next one? Hmm." I was on my way to an orientation program for the Academic Club. Even though two months have passed since I came to this world and have been living here, I still don't know where the classrooms and the clubrooms are located.
I'm really bad with the directions and, to add salt to the wounds, all the rooms look the same to me and I'm unable to figure out which way to go.
'Come on, man, buckle up. You may be in the body of a kid, but the inside of you is twice the age of this boy. And it will be very shameful for you when you see that these kids are better than you at directions. '
Then, when I was searching for the academic club room, I saw a crowd going in that direction.
Ha, finally I came to the right place.
When I entered, I saw many of the first years sitting in the front row. That is to be expected as this orientation is meant for the freshers.
I quickly scanned the whole classroom, and I found most of the members of this club were girls. There were about 60 students in total, 45 of whom were female. It is a girl-dominated club.
And among them, I found a few familiar faces that were sitting there. One of the most obvious ones among them is Trina Mason.
'I didn't know that she would come to this type of club.'
If we take just the theoretical knowledge into consideration, then Trina Mason would come out on top. Not just in Horizon, but also in the entire human domain. She has such a wide range of knowledge regarding these subjects. So to find someone of that stature coming here is shocking to me.
'I just thought that this club is meant for people like me who wouldn't be able to pass the theoretical examination.'
The club members will help us with this. They will help us with what to prepare and what not to prepare. That kind of stuff. So it would be meant for the likes of us, but to see her sitting here is just shocking to me.
'Hmm. She might have different work to do here, so that's why she is presented here. '
For that reason, I can only do this. Let me observe what she was planning to do.
And there is one more person that caught my eye. It is Andrea Lewis.
What is going on here? Why on earth did those two decide to come to this club when they are toppers themselves? Surely something is fishy.
Ignoring them I quietly walked to the last bench and sat there. I was looking around to see if I could find any more familiar faces. I could recognize some of them, but they are not the main characters, so I gave no attention to them.
Slowly, all the students were coming. Trina and Andrea were sitting in the middle row. As usual, people are encircling them. I looked beside me. As usual, no one came to sit beside me. That's how it is.
"Hello students, everyone settles down quickly." An announcement came.
Immediately, everyone settled down.
"As many of you already know me, let me introduce myself. I'm William Weasley. I'm your club president. It's nice to meet you all."
The club president started the orientation program by greeting everyone.
"Since today is just the orientation, we will only discuss what our club is about."
He started to talk about how the club functions and how things are operated here, and in what manner they are going to help the students, and so on.
Actually, that was quite boring. The only reason I joined this club is that I decided to dedicate most of my class time to sleep, so I needed to learn things that are taught in the class from somewhere, so I chose this club. Here they are going to cover most of the topics that are taught in the class, so there is no need to find any other means.
The exams are around the corner. I can't get lazy and I need to concentrate more as the theoretical exams are also very important in the evaluation process. I don't need very high scores, but I just need those that will allow me to continue for next year. As we are going to be busy in the coming days, I need to use this time to cover most of the topics.
As I was thinking about what to do, someone came and sat beside me.
"Huh?"
Who is she? There is a lot of space left in the front. It's not like I have any objections or anything.
"How boring. Tsk. " She said
