*knock *knock
"Ash woke up! It's almost time, otherwise, you will miss the train."
A loud voice of a female was heard outside a nearly broken door waking up the person inside.
"I'm coming. Just a few more minutes Aunt Rosy"
A sleepy voice of a young boy could be heard from inside.
"Well Ash, if you want to be late on your first day at college, you can sleep all you want!" The female whose name appeared to be Rosy spoke in sarcasm.
Remembering the current date, the boy's eyes snapped open. He hurriedly put on the uniform of the university and ran out of the house as his life depended on it.
"Wait! What about breakfast?" Aunt Rosy said hurriedly seeing the situation.
"I will buy something on the way. I'm off", Wearing ragged shoes, Ash left the house.

My name is Asher Ignifera. I don't know how I got this name, but according to Aunt Rosy, this name was found inside the box I was holding onto as an infant.
Yup! You heard it right. I live in an orphanage and Aunt Rosy is the manager. She found me near the orphanage door 18 years ago. My ungrateful parents left me there with nothing but a small box.
Wait.. Wait... They did not leave any billion dollars checks or any hidden young master identity. Only a broken chain with a weird eye symbol and a piece of paper containing my name.
And this f*cking chain was made out of worthless material.
Well, forget about them.
Today is a special day for me. After a hell lot of exams, I finally got my scholarship to enter the most prestigious university.
Terra Nova University!
I even sacrificed my game routine for this opportunity. Could you believe it?
Well, I do have a world-shattering reason for it. According to all the rumors, the best chicks around the world come here for their studies.
But in reality, most of them come here for 'special education'. I also want to be a part of it.
Ahem... Ahem...
Don't take it wrong! I too want to be free from the curse of still being a virgin. It's hard you know.
Cough... Cough..
Also, to get the best education to help the orphanage, my only family.
I hope I will get a hot chi....
"Hey beggar, get out of the way!"
Well here comes the young master.
"Who allowed a beggar to enter?"
Deja vu! Sigh...
I can already see my college life getting f*cked up from the very first day.

Standing in the University auditorium, Asher was wearing somewhat old clothes that made him stand out in the sea of newly admitted students.
The Terra Nova University was the biggest educational institution in the world.
However along with time, it had become a trend for the riches to admit into this university. It had evolved into a business infrastructure rather than a place for education.
Almost all students here were from the wealthiest families around the world. It was no wonder they disdained seeing someone like Asher.
Still, Asher chose this place because of his 'heavenly' reason.
Wearing some branded clothes, a handsome blond-haired guy questioned the other students.
"Who allowed a beggar to enter?"
He was Jin Horton. The second scion of the Horton family. A family that was well-known all over the world for its advanced weaponry.
Like a moth to fire, many started to raise questions one after another to get into friendships with Jin. After all not all of them were from a family like his.
But Asher ignored them. Or it was more like he was checking out the beauties.
'And truth be told, I'm truly not disappointed' Ash could not help but think seeing all the girls around him. 'They are nothing like the locals'.
Seeing the poor boy not even look at him, Jin's ego got hurt. After all even other prestigious families' successors needed to give him face.
Instead of going to do something himself, Jin signaled his goons. By his side, two bulky young boys were standing like a loyal dogs.
They were Tommy Miller and Troy Miller. They were security guards in disguise as students appointed by the Horton family to protect Jin.
Troy and Tommy were raised by an 'Organization' to give security to a member like Jin Horton.
Terra Nova University permitted this misanthropic way of influence because if anything happened to a well-known family member, their reputation would get damaged.
Getting instructions from their master, the Miller brother duo began to go toward Ash who was still scrutinizing the surroundings.
Troy and Tommy both were raised from a very young age to safeguard their allocated clients. Not only they were professional boxers, they could even use firearms. Even 20 normal people would not be enough to make them lose a hand-to-hand fight.
"Hey, mob how about you kindly piss off! Our young master doesn't like people like you, you know." Troy said in a distasteful voice.
The whole auditorium was pin-drop silent watching the situation getting unfolded. So everything Troy said was heard by everyone.
Murmurs had already begun and few students were even betting on how many blows Ash could withstand before being knocked out.
Ash still ignored them. His gaze was unmoving watching all girls like a hungry wolf.
Not getting a response, in anger Troy sent out a swift sidekick to Ash's abdomen.
But instead of getting wounded and laid on the ground as everyone expected, something different occurred astonishing everyone watching, even the professors watching from afar.
For the first time, Ash looked at Troy, and with a calm expression, he caught his leg in midair swiftly. His eyes were as cold as the depth of Hell, sending chills to everyone.
"Oh, come on, you swing like a girl! My grandmother hits harder than you!" Ash smiled the next moment. His previous coldness was nowhere to be seen.
Watching the scene the spectators were taken aback.
"Did he just stop Troy's kick that easily?"
"Who is he? Is he also someone's guard?"
"Well, then it would make sense. But why will anyone let their security wear that kind of clothes?"
Many kinds of theories were spreading, making the quiet auditorium a mess.
But few people frowned upon it because only they knew the gravity of the situation.
At that moment, a cough of a man could be heard from the main stage silencing everyone.
