Lyra stepped down from the vehicle and Renjiro followed behind her, as soon as he stepped down from the vehicle, he tripped and fell head first but his fall was stopped by someone, he perceived a sweet scent that smelled like honeysuckle and he also discovered that his head and palms were pressed to something soft and squishy, it felt good and he decided to squeeze the soft object again.
As soon as he did he heard a loud shriek that sounded very feminine and a very painful sensation followed it, he raised his head and saw that it was a blonde girl with very huge boobs, in his past life she would have been wearing a h cup bra.
He soon felt another sharp pain on his cheek, he was pondering the cause for it but then discovered that his hand was still on her boobs, he removed his hand sharply and tried to apologize immediately but the blonde girl had already run off.
At that moment he heard a loud ding in his head and an interface suddenly popped up.

Renjiro was shocked by what he saw and he decided to ignore it for the moment as he recovered from his daze he began hearing whispers all around him, the girls around him most especially were looking at him disdainfully.
"he is such a loser"
"no wonder he has no real friends"
"he is so weird"
None of these got to him since he was more or less unconcerned by whatever it was they thought of him, but he noticed from zephyrus memories, very few people liked him or talked to him since he was lazy and obnoxious.
He soon felt someone tugging at his sleeve he looked down and noticed that it was lyra, he had expected her to run off without him when the incident occurred.
"be quick or we would be late for our first class today, and don't think I didn't see what you did" lyra muttered under her breath
"believe me that was not intentional" Renjiro said trying to convince her but lyra seemed to pay no heed to him or his antics and pulled him through the school gates towards the school buildings.
Sourcing through zephyrus memories he discovered that they would be having plant-based alchemy as their first class of the morning and that he was incredibly horrible at it, but luckily for him he was always paired with lyra who seemed to be the best at everything in school.
They managed to arrive at the class a few minutes early and went to their respective seats, he looked behind him and noticed there was an empty chair there and his mind went back to the memories of the discussion zephyrus had with lyra the previous night about the boy who survived an assassination attempt.
He felt like that information had a lot to do with him but had to brush away his thoughts since the notification bar in his head refused to go away and was seriously affecting his ability to focus on other things, he eventually succumbed and chose the name 'renjiro' for his avatar

"this seems like a game of some sorts, if I spent more time playing video games I might have had an idea of what to do in situations like this" he mused bitterly. He decided to mentally select points available and see what would happen.
"points available – 10 ; you can allocate these points to any of the attributes listed above" the system chimed
"oh so that's how it works" he thought with a smile and then proceeded to add all ten points to strength to see what would happen.
"points successfully allocated to strength"
As soon as the notification popped up he felt a cool rush flood his body, through his veins he felt like he could now accomplish great feats with his new found ability, he smiled to himself and flexed his muscles.
During the course of his discovery the professor had entered the class and had already began to lecture the rest of the class and everyone had already began practicing the classwork that was given to them, but Renjiro seemed oblivious to all that was happening around him, Ophelia had been trying to ignore him since she stepped into the class since everyone considered him to be a waste of time but her patience had worn thin and she couldn't take his continued lack of interest anymore
"zephyrus!!" she called out to him
Renjiro was shaken out of his reverie and tried to compose himself, he noticed that it was a dark haired beauty who looked to be in her twenties that called his name, he searched through his memories and discovered that the beauty who called out his name was as a matter of fact their professor of plant based alchemy and home room teacher professor Ophelia.
He was shocked that she was calling out to him since from what he could remember she never cared about whatever it was zephyrus did, in fact she always acted like zephyrus was not part of the class and ignored him most of the time.
"yes ma'am" he stuttered
"I have been trying to ignore your antics the whole term but with each passing day you seem to be growing worse, do you mind telling the class why you were smiling at your arms while others were trying to get their work done" she asked him
Renjiro was embarrassed and could not come up with a proper reply, the whispers started again and only stopped when professor Ophelia shushed the class.
"zephyrus meet me in my office after school is over" she said with a tone of finality
Renjiro spent the rest of the class fiddling with the seed he was given and not being able to make anything of it, soon enough the class came to an end and professor Ophelia left the classroom but not without reminding him of their appointment
