Turner was in his room thinking about what had happened till now.
The good thing about being a student of red divine academy was free accommodation and food to all its students.
The academy taught how to fight monsters and other supportive skills needed to survive outside. Furthermore the academy had the best teachers who helped student master their chosen weapons – swords, spears, bow, shield, whip , hammer etc. The course was of 4 years and each year only 1500 lucky individuals got the opportunity of getting admitted in the academy.
" Hmm.. system why don't I remember Turner's past ?"
*ding That is because Turner as a character was not supposed to survive earlier in the story. He would have died in the womb of his mother but so that you could have been given this body ,he was made to live by the author.
Author has left a message for you regarding this- "Haha it would be really boring if you'll know all about this special character who is not in the story that you've read. Hence it's upto you to find more about him. Though in due course of time you will understand everything…."*
"... system remind me to give this guy a smack on his head if I meet him in the future. Atleast tell me something.."
*ding little background information – Turner after his birth was left at the orphanage with just his name – Turner Vision. He only got in this academy because his talent led him to top the written exam. In the physical exam , he barely passed. He tried learning the sword but is less than average at using it. Rather him getting selected is only because of him topping the written exam.*
"…great so I'm average at using sword. Every weapon takes years to master and I don't have that much time… hmm well being bad at sword is still better than having nothing"
*Ding the host is mistaken. It was the past Turner who was bad at it. You as the new Turner who hasn't picked up any weapon in your past life don't even have that much profiency. All in all you don't know how to use any weapon. Furthermore it was the old Turner whose brain had all information that he memorized(using which he topped the exam). The host doesn't have any of it…..*
"...… "
*....*
".... Remind me to give him 2 smacks now."

It was 7 in the morning and the library was completely empty. Scarlet was sitting at her table reading a book named "monster anatomy volume 1". What was abnormal about this was that this particular book was taught to 1st year students only at the later part of the year while Scarlet was reading it even before any of their classes had begun.
Scarlet had always been above her peers in studies. She had always come 1st in every subject, in every class. Perhaps some credit could be given to her talent for this – talent to analyse- it helped her assess any problem , any situation and find the best possible solution for it. Scarlet was very good at using the bow too. It was sure that she would get selected in the academy with just her bow skills in the physical exam.
But she didn't want that. She wanted to get in the academy via the written exam. The written exam was just qualifying in nature. Every student wanting to get in the academy had to get 33% marks in it. After qualifying it, one had to participate in the physical exam , which ultimately decided whether they were selected in the academy or not.This had been the rule right since the academy was built. But 20 years ago this rule was modified a little. Written exam was still qualifying in nature, but the top 50 students would get direct admission in the academy, ie, the top 50 would not have to give the physical exam.
Scarlet , being always rank 1 in studies and exam had wanted to be rank 1 here too. When she came out of the hall after writing exam , she had been really happy. She knew all the answers except 1 which would make her score 715/720. She was sure that she would break the national exam record too as it was 690.
Well when the written results came up , there was widespread shock. The exam record had been broken. What was more shocking to the people was that it was not their "Princess Scarlet" , daughter of Alan Rockford – one of the biggest weapon manufacturer of the country ,who broke it but a nobody named "Turner Vision." Turner Vision had gotten a perfect score – 720/720.
That day Scarlet's whole face was Scarlet for the whole day, Perhaps due to anger, perhaps due to the embarrassment. But that day Scarlet vowed to herself that she would beat this Turner in academy in studies. This had renewed her vigour and hence, even in the 2 weeks holiday she was sitting in library and reading the advanced books.
Scarlet looked at her watch," oh its already 7am. I should go back to my room, take a shower , eat something and then return."
At the same time she saw an average looking guy coming towards her direction. When the guy saw her his eyes widened and his mouth showed a small smile.
"Huh another fanboy I guess"- Scarlet thought to herself. The boy came in front of her , looked at the fat "monster anatomy volume 1" on her desk and asked ," Hey do you know where the "beginner's guide to monster anatomy" is ?"
Beginner's guide ?… " Haa, don't we need to read beginner's guide before coming to this academy ? How did you even pass the written examination?" Scarlet said to the guy.
"Well I did read it but I've forgotten it now due do "a particular person's sadistic attitude"…. So just wanted to reread it…" the guy said to her.
What ? sadistic attitude? This guy is not right in his mind. Better to leave right away . " Well you can look at the index of books right there" Scarlet pointed to the centre of library while saying so."It was nice meeting you , but I have to go now. Bye." With this scarlet dashed out ,even forgetting her "Vol 1" on the table.
Scarlet reached the entrance of the library, " What a guy ? Doesn't even know the basic knowledge needed to pass the exam and still passed. Moreover , , he must have some screws loose or something… " Scarlet opened the attendance register to fill the sign out time against her name. There she saw the person's name who she has just talked to. TURNER VISION – written just below her name.
"Huh ? Turner vision? The guy who topped the exam ? Asking me about the basic book ? ....I get it… He must have been mocking me... Oh I'll get you ,you piece of ****** …" Scarlet changed her vow a little at this time – of not only to beat Turner in studies but physically too in the academy.
Meanwhile , our average looking guy in the library was wondering to himself – Hmm Scarlet ah, looks just like how the author described her. Red hair flowing till her waist. Big black eyes and small nose and lips. But why did she run away ? I just told her the truth no ?
Suddenly he heard a ding
*ding secret mission – making scarlet recognize you –complete/ 50 points gained*
*ding secret mission - making scarlet curse you many times – complete/ 50 points gained*
This was the day when Turner realized about how the concept of secret mission works. This was also the day about which Turner would think again and again in the future , of why did Scarlet curse him ?
