'I guess I have to start studying today.' Noah thought at six am. He had been awake for the past few hours and now that the day had started for many people, Noah too was ready to begin his day.
The exam day was getting nearer by the second and Noah hadn't done any revision till then. He was an expert in the practical field but when it came to the theoretical field, Noah would judge himself to be in the top ten.
Izzy on the other hand was one of the top three students which meant that if they both studied together, Noah was guaranteed a spot in the three.
'However, I burnt all my book so that's going to be a problem…' Noah observed while looking at the time.
Izzy would be awake after a few hours which left him with nothing to do. Noah wondered whether he should get her notebooks to study but then decided against it.
Instead, he went to sleep.

When Noah woke up, he looked right at the windows to see that the curtains had been pulled to the side.
The surprising thing was that it was still dark outside. This confused Noah severely as he was sure that he had gone to sleep at six in the morning, not six in the afternoon.
"What time is it…" he muttered before picking up his phone and looking at the time.
Noah suddenly jolted up when he saw that the time was three pm. He had been asleep for nine hours and no one had bothered to wake him up.
Noah slowly stood up before stretching his body. He had to admit that sleeping for that long was indeed good and if not for his growling stomach, he would've slept in for a few more hours.
"So only Izzy is in the house…" Noah muttered as he spread his senses throughout the house to find that only Izzy was present inside it.
He could tell that his mother had deliberately taken Alec and Rebecca out due to the note she had left on the couch.
Erika had written down that she would be out with the other two until nine in the night so that he and Izzy could study peacefully.
Noah knew that Erika's version of studying included a lot of things, making him wonder how his mother behaved as a teenager.
'Speaking of that…' Noah opened his quest section to see that his quest had been completed.
The reward was ready to be collected but before Noah could take it, he felt Izzy walking right toward his room.
The door unlocked a minute later as Izzy walked inside the room. She saw Noah standing beside the bed with a bored expression and smiled.
"You definitely got a good sleep there," Izzy commented. She herself had slept until twelve so she had almost the same amount of sleep as Noah.
"I guess you can say that," Noah admitted. "Also, did you come to wake me up?"
"No, I just came to check you up. You look innocent and at peace, while sleeping," Izzy suddenly giggled. "You were drooling too."
"Ahem." Noah faked a cough and decided to change the topic. He definitely didn't want to hear how he drooled.
"We should get studying now. Gotta top the exam after all." Noah suggested.
Izzy nodded in response since she had been thinking the same thing. Though she wasn't too worried about the result because she already had a ticket to all the best academies.
However, the top 3 students from each and every city would get a fifty percent scholarship. Izzy had a feeling that if Noah pulled a few strings, he would be able to make the academy take them in for free.
So in the end, she just wanted to get the top spot for self-satisfaction.
"So, what are we going to study first?" She asked curiously.
"You do practical physics for wind magic and I will do the same for lightning magic. We will come and ask each other questions in exactly three hours." Noah suddenly grinned. "The one who can't answer a question removes a piece of clothing."
"A classic way to make things interesting…" Izzy sighed yet she felt excited on the inside. Though both of them could just get naked at that moment and have sex, there was no fun in that.
It would be more fun and perhaps they will learn something as well… perhaps.
"By the way, share your notebooks with me," Noah added.
"What happened to yours?" Izzy asked while raising an eyebrow.
"I burned mine," Noah replied with a straight expression.
"…"
Izzy decided not to pry further into the topic as she left the room only to return a few minutes later with a notebook in her hand.
The notebook was of course not a normal paper notebook and instead was a piece of digital technology contained inside a hardcover.
Upon flipping the book open, a holographic screen appeared in front of Noah. He scrolled through the pages to find the right topic and started reading.
Izzy watched him for a few seconds before she left the room and went back to her own room. She too started studying as both of them read things sincerely.
Or at least that's what Noah planned on doing after half an hour.
'Let's see what this tells me.' He thought curiously before claiming the reward for the quest's completion.
Noah patiently waited until he heard Ayame's voice.
"Now that you have dealt with Zuki for the time being, you need to focus on your exams. Once you have done that, go to Soulika academy. Remember, Averi is a very important person so stay close to her."
"I was going to do that anyways…" Noah muttered.
"I was going to do that anyways is probably what you just said." Ayame's voice added as Noah grinned. The guardian of time knew him really well.
"I will be taking my leave by saying one last thing. Don't let the number of wives you have extend beyond ten to twelve. I would suggest seven but knowing your circumstances, ten to twelve is perfect.
Anymore and there will be terrible consequences. May you have a healthy sexual life." Ayame said at last before her voice faded away.
Noah sighed at her words before staring at the holographic image.
'Maybe study will distract me from having weird theories.' He thought and started studying seriously.
