With his plan already in his head, Arin took one last look at himself before walking towards the door and exiting the room.
His room was on the second floor of this dorm building, so he had to walk towards the stairs.
"Today is the entrance ceremony to welcome the new students into the Academy."
Apparently, he was also one of the new students, so he had to attend the ceremony.
"Alex Whiteheart... He's also a new student, so he'll also be at the entrance ceremony," Arin muttered.
Though, he wasn't planning to meet Alex... He had another person in mind.
After descending the stairs, Arin reached the entrance of the dorm building and was instantly greeted with the warmth of the morning sun.
"I'm certainly not on Earth anymore," he couldn't help but mutter.
He could hear the chatter of students as they walked past, with smiles on their faces. The Academy grounds were filled with vibrant life and energy.
The dorm buildings, with their intricate designs and towering structures, stood as a testament to the grandeur of the Academy. Pathways paved with perfectly arranged stones led students through lush gardens. Exotic flowers bloomed in carefully tended beds, adding splashes of color and a delightful fragrance to the air.
What actually attracted his attention was the humongous building he could see in the distance—the main Academy building.
All the students were walking towards the main Academy building, and Arin was no exception.
As he was walking, different scenes played in his head, making a grin appear on his face.
"The Academy is just like the author described it... Huge and majestic."
The ground was perfectly paved, and flowers were in certain spots, adding to the overall beauty of the Academy. Tall, ancient trees lined the pathways, their leaves rustling softly in the gentle breeze.
In a matter of seconds, he had already reached the main Academy building. It was an architectural marvel, with towering spires, grand arches, and intricate carvings that depicted legendary battles and heroes.
Right in front of the building, there was a statue of a man holding a sword. The man had a scar that ran across his right eye, but his expression was still fierce and showed no hint of fear.
"The founder of the Academy," Arin muttered.
At this point, he had already seen most things that the author described.
Blending in with the crowd, Arin entered the Academy and was instantly greeted by the sight of the huge hall.
The hall was grand, with high ceilings adorned with chandeliers that sparkled like stars. The walls were lined with banners bearing the Academy's emblem, and the floor was polished to a mirror-like shine. Rows of uncountable chairs spread out in the hall, waiting for students to occupy them.
Arin walked towards the last chair at the end and sat down. A few minutes later, all the chairs were almost occupied as the new students flooded the hall.
Suddenly...
"Ahhh~~ it's him! He's really here," a girl who was sitting not too far from Arin exclaimed.
Arin didn't need anyone to tell him what was currently going on.
"Kyah~am I looking beautiful enough? Maybe he'll notice me," another girl said.
Like that, the chatter in the hall was based on one person alone.
From the corner of his eyes, Arin could see a blue-haired boy entering the hall.
His blue hair fluttered as he walked inside the hall. He was also wearing the Academy's uniform just like every other person in the hall.
An air of elegance and strength followed him as he made his entrance. His presence was strong enough for everyone to notice him immediately.
A smile was planted on his lips, and his eyes shone with an otherworldly light.
As he entered the hall, everyone's gaze was just on him, with most of the girls trying to grab his attention.
Immediately he entered, he sat down on a chair in the front row while waving to the other students who were calling his name.
Meanwhile, Arin had a smirk on his face as he stared at this boy who had just entered... The Protagonist.
"Yes, always happy and carefree as usual. Moreover, what could go wrong?" Arin gazed at Alex Whiteheart, who was still waving at students.
Though, Alex didn't know that things wouldn't remain the same..... Not anymore.
"She entered just a few seconds after he entered, so she's supposed to be here now," Arin thought.
"In three, two... one..."
Immediately Arin said "one" in his mind, a girl with a presence not less attractive than Alex entered the hall.
She had long, flowing black hair with streaks of pink and blue, adding to its beauty. As expected, she was wearing the uniform, but it fit her perfectly to the point that one would wonder if it was the same uniform the other girls were wearing.
Her blue eyes were breathtaking and sharp, and they seemed to pierce through the soul, together with the cold look on her face.
Her expression made it look as if she would kill anyone who tried to come close or talk to her.
She had a perfect, well-proportioned body that effortlessly grabbed the attention of the students, with her toned curves and graceful posture making her stand out.
Even some of the boys who were already staring at her like hungry wolves couldn't even wave at her due to the look on her face.
Instantly, she sat down on a chair at the front without saying anything.
She was Tessa Silverhart, one of the Female Leads, a key character destined to fall in love with Alex and support him on his journey. But Arin had other plans.
Arin couldn't help but let out a slight chuckle after seeing her. After all, he would soon have some business with her.
Like that, all the chairs in the hall got occupied, meaning that everyone was now present.
Immediately, a man with white hair that still had some strands of black entered the room. He also had white beards, and there were wrinkles on his face that showed signs of deep wisdom.
The chatter in the hall suddenly stopped as soon as he entered.
He walked towards the platform and the podium that was present before looking at the sea of students in front of him.
*Ahem* *Ahem*
He cleared his throat as he got ready to speak.
Arin clearly remembered this part of the novel, and he even remembered what this man, who was the principal of the Academy, said.
"Ahh, this'll be boring," Arin muttered.
Well, he couldn't wait for the speech to finish because he had some business with Tessa... One that would greatly boost his plan.
