Kalki entered the bus and grabbed a seat in the middle.
Like many other people he didn't have to worry about people conversing with him since they will avoid him like a plague after seeing him once.
Afterall what can you expect from a world with immensely high beauty standards to treat someone with immensely low on beauty? not very good obviously.
In any condition, this was something Kalki get to understand during living his new life.
Although he didn't like the way they overreacted, the fact that he didn't have to Converse with others people was a good thing in his own way.
As he didn't want others to see difference in previous Lautrian and new Lautrian. So it was neither a win-win nor lose-lose situation for him.
Quietly sitting on his seat he opened his book and started reading it.
The book was about dungeons and gates and was a course book of Kalki which he had to read and learn for preparation of examination.
Examination in this world was focused more towards the practical side so only a few of them were written.
The thing which Kalki was most thankful about was the fact that he understood everything which was taught to him and he didn't have to begin from the very beginning thanks to the memories sync with previous owner.
Although he hated studies overall due to how much he have to study in his previous life. He actually liked some subjects here, which were chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, dungeonology and mana tech.
And the reason behind liking them also was very simple, the addition of mana in them.
He was already familiar with the first four and though not an expert, he at least was skilled in them.
But the other two subjects were very interesting and attracted Kalki's attention from the very moment.
Maybe it was due to the memory sync or maybe this was just him being liking those things, he started liking things which Lautrian liked.
Kalki himself wasn't sure about the reason behind it.
Soon the bus reached school which was although not very big to begin with, but was also not very small.
Kalki was soon greeted with the same scenario that he saw in the bus, children creating distance from him.
Later while peeing in the washroom he got to know the reason as someone had spread the rumor that Kalki was cursed and anyone who would touch him will get the curse transferred.
Kalki didn't get angry on this but instead laughed a little at such foolish acts.
'Apparently one's foolishness doesn't depend on the advancement of the world.'
'There will always be foolish people present just like cockroaches and honestly what can you even expect from children of the age of 12 to15, they are just a headache to the society'
Kalki spoke in his inner self and ignored his surroundings meanwhile making his way to its classroom.
The school life of Kalki went quite different compared to a normal ones. Here Kalki was an outcast, tanking insults like tanks tanking bombs.
The insults were continuous and were coming from every direction whether it was teachers, seniors, those wannabe cool girls/boys or the leaders of groups belonging from all tiers.
However Kalki's mentality which was already as hard as diamond and after the merger of both he and Lautrian's memory it created a being who don't gave a fuck to annoying flies and focuses only on his work.
Kalki laugh at the mentality of his peers as most of them believe that they are the chosen ones, and will surely qualify for the Artius's big 5.
However the level of the big 5 was entirely different realm in comparison to where they live.
The minimum rank of graduating alumni there were at least -B rank. It looked unbelievable achievement in the eyes of normal people but they get treated like garbage in the prospective of their academies.
Due to those 5 academies being built on top of that very special land, many aspiring children who wanted to become high ranking awakeners enter there, creating a fierce competition.
With only 50,000 seats available for students from all races, Many parents gave their children homeschooling in order to increase the chances of their selection.
Thus buffing the minimum rank to enroll in the academy to +E .
Due to these thoughts Kalki considered himself lucky to be in the same age as the supernova generation. After all he only knew the exam of this specific current year which changes every year.
Although the written exam wasn't got mentioned in the book, he knew well enough about the physical exam which was of higher weightage and most prominent one in between the two.
Kalki knew he had too many obstacles for him but to survive in this world he had to make it through them.
He knew he had to pass the next few years in the academy and gain as much power as he could before some serious stuffs start to happen.
However for now his way of survival is to go on a treasure hunt and paralyze the growth of villains.
Even if the story has a great butterfly effect from this it does not matter to Kalki. Obviously his own life was always his first priority.
'I had to reach E-rank before I gave my entrance exam' .
Deciding on his mind Kalki immersed himself again in his boring daily life.
*******
The time flew away alongside the seasons and a whole year get completed.
Kalki was on a bus traveling to the last city near 'Thark forest'.
As soon as he got his summer holidays, Kalki immediately took medicines from grandma Jeremy and boarded the bus to reach his destination.
The thing Kalki enjoyed most after coming here was traveling.
Every time he travels somewhere new he is welcomed with an insanely amazing scenery and breath taking views, that he couldn't even forget even if he wanted to.
That's how beautiful this world was.
Before coming here he did some research and investigation to know the area beforehand so that it won't cause any problems for him.
Kalki got the gist of the city as he roamed in it.
Finally he comes to a halt in front of a hotel where he decided to board his lodging for next few days until he raid the dungeon.
" Yeah, Book a single room for 2 days and 3 nights."
Kalki said to the receptionist who nodded at him and asked for 1100G as payment.
" Here"
" Please avoid disturbing me, I will call for food if I want to"
After telling them to not disturb him, Kalki directly went to his room after ordering his dinner for the day.
'haa~~ How much longer will it take for me to treat this trashy body ?
Although I am thankful for God for this second Life but why with these limitations?
Isn't it just too much
wasn't it would be better if he/she have given me OP abilities and power right off the bat?
why made a simple man like me suffer?
isn't just too muchhhh'
Kalki yapped to himself while recovering his breath.
Although he had become an awakener but due to his health conditions his stamina was nowhere near to an awakener level.
Kalki knew he had to visit 'ponds of wonder' as last resort to recover his ill body if no other things worked.
After all this was prohibiting his growth by a huge amount.
He put out a notebook from his bag and went through the information written on it while eating his dinner.
After completing both of his tasks he prepared a big bag and placed all the things that he may required during the search.
With his bag being prepared, Kalki hit his bed early for tomorrow's exploration.
