Chapter 4 - Chapter 2: A New School

!!THIS CHAPTER HAS BEEN UPDATED!!

[ The expressionless Awakener ]

A day has passed and i went outside my room like usual, forgetting what apparently happened yesterday.

Suddenly, I was surprised as the sudden sprung of confetti shot suddenly at my face.

Mother:"Congratulations!" My mom spoke excitedly as she held the empty confetti springer in her hand.

Father:"Congrats kim!" My dad replied aswell.

Sister:"Congrats." My sister also replied.

Brother:"heheh... Congrats!, Did the confetti surprise you?" My brother asked enthusiastically.

My whole family, Came outside of my room and congratulated me from the sudden transfer from yesterday.

Because of this, I was able to remember what had happened.

I began to stare at them with an expressionless face and nodded simply.

"Yeah- Scared me apparently."

Suddenly, my brother took my arm to the kitchen And surprised me again, but this time, with a whole of different dishes in the table.

Brother:"Congrats kim! There is even a cake for you!"

My brother waved his hands as he proudly showed the 'surprise' to me.

My stomach began to rumble as i looked around at the dining table as i sat on my chair, already hungry just by looking at the different dishes on the table.

Mother:"Alright! Before we could eat, Lets hear a few words from kim from this unexpected surprise!" My mom spoke as she took my arm to announce.

"It was surprising. That's it." I replied simply.

Mother:"...Thats it...??" She asked tilting her head.

"Yes." I immediately answered.

Mother:"Good enough.. lets eat!"

Me and my siblings began to eat each dish from the table until there was no more food left on the table, My parents also ate aswell.

"...nice." I mumbled silently.

Brother:"If my brother didn't pass that exam nor did i make a bet with him, This whole entire buffet in the table wouldn't have existed!" He spoke sarcastically.

Sister:"mhm." I nodded.

"It was only pure coincidence or luck that i passed that exam."

Brother:"Will who cares! You passed anyway!"

I stared at my sarcastic brother with no expression for no apparent reason, even though he was the one who did this in the first place.

"."

After that, A whole week has passed,

and i eventually arrived at the new school with the uniform and badge attached to me.

It was honestly sooo far, that i had to take multiple taxes on the way here, But atleast I was able to arrive in time.

I looked around the huge building for a bit and I realized that the building was as massive as my house the longer I stared at it... No, 100x bigger then I imagined.

'hmm....' I thought as i stood at the gate.

Suddenly, A random student ran into me and i fell from the ground.

'Thump'

Random student:"Oops! Sorry, didnt mean to bump into you!" The student spoke randomly as he apologized.

"It's fine." i said silently.

The student continued to run into the front entrance as I began to stand up slowly.

Suddenly, A random strike hit at the back of my head, Giving me slight nausea.

'What the...'

Memories began to pour inside my head, Familiar fragments that i have done in my past life, which i had already forgotten..

Even so, This process gave my head a headache and nausea.

'Oh.'

I then realized that this school...

This whole world....

'im in a novel.'

The realization began to take a toll on me, As the place where I was transferred, Is actually the main place where the story first began.

In which a novel named: "Novel reincarnation".

'Ah... Its the novel i had read before.' I sighed as i thought about it.

'This whole school...., How come i didn't remember this..?' I thought as I began to ponder.

Confusion is what i already used to always do when i'm at home, But this unexpected occasion was a bit too much for my head.

'Novel reincarnation....Its about the protagonist reincarnating this novel....'

'Oh, What was the protagonist's name again?' I thought as I tilted my head in confusion.

I began to realize that i forgot most of the whole story.

'....'

'...Whats the point of reincarnating inside a novel when i can't even remember the whole entire story?'

I thought dumbfoundedly.

Unlike the protagonist of the story, Normal people would usually forget about the plots and character names in the novel, which is like that for every normal person.

'....I ..shouldn't stand here for long. I dont wanna be late for class.' I thought as I began to quickly walk through the pathways.

I continued on walking to the front entrance as i try to come up with ideas or theories inside my head.

'A novel huh..?'

'Then there must be characters from the novel..'

I thought.

The bell began to ring and i realized i'll be entire late for my class.

'!'

I began to find my classroom, Wandering around the huge academy and stumbled upon the school board with the map on it.

I memorized the map carefully afterwards, tried to find my classroom.

Coincidentally and luckily, I was able to find it, Just earlier, I had already forgotten about what I had memorized.

As soon as I entered my classroom door, Students from particular places began to gather in one area.

'What's going on..?'

I thought.

I walked to a random student and asked about what's going on.

Student:"Oh!, It's just that a new student is very handsome and tall, and alot of the girls really like him." The student replied.

"Really?" I spoke as i tried to look at a closer glance from the crowd, Finally seeing the person's face.

'Oh, He really is handsom-'

Suddenly, I felt another struck in my head

'No.. wait.. ...Its.. the protagonist from the novel!'

The protagonist was supposed to have a cold attitude, But he must've been trying to cover up his cold expression by ignoring the students gathering him... Well, More like something that he doesn't usually care about.

But at this particular time, I never would've thought i would meet him soon, especially when I transferred to the same classroom as him!

(Will not for long..)

I picked a random chair and began to sit on it, wiggling around my fingers as the crowd of students made noises of excitement.

Instructor:"Alright class, Please sit down." A teacher spoke as she sat on her seat.

All of the students sat on their chairs as they listened to their instructor.

Instructor: "Alright, Before we do our attendance, I would like to introduce myself."

Instructor Ann:"My name is Ann Willow, And I will be your classroom Instructor."

Instructor Ann:"Now that i have introduced myself, Ill do the attendance sheets now."

'That's it-?' I thought, Puzzled.

The teacher began to call out each of the students names.

But speaking of names, I tried to recall the names of the characters i remembered.

'What was the protagonist's name again?...Oh!, I think hes name starts with 'kwan'.. was it kwan sung..? Or kwan....Oh I think it was kwan jihu right?, Yeah, hes name is definitely kwan jihu.'

'But.. what was the protagonist's name after reincarnation..?'

As i tried to gather all of my braincells, The Instructor told each student's name until he mentioned the protagonist's.

Instrucotr Ann:"Hallowood."

hallowood:"Present!"

Instructor Ann:"...Oh! Alexander Grace."

Alexander Grace:"Present."

Instructor Ann:"You've gotten quiet tall since the last time i saw you, And very handsome aswell."

Alexander Grace(Protagonist): "hm."

As i heard the protagonist's name, I instinctively knew.

'Yeah, I think that was the protagonist's name.'

I finally knew the name of the protagonist, but that was only it.

'Now.. what were the other names of the other characters again..?'

?:"Johnson..!"

Instrucotr Ann:"Kim Johnson!."

"Huh- Wha-, Oh.. uh,Present!" I mumbled as i waved my right hand suddenly.

Teacher Ann:"Finally... Kim Johnson, Please refrain yourself from getting distracted, alright?"

I was silent for a moment before answering;

" ...Yes, maam."

Instructor Ann:"Alright, now that i have done the attendance.I will tell you what this school is like."

Instructor Ann:"As you can see, This isn't a normal school. This school is for the learnings of a Hunter and Awakener.I think you already know the details of dungeons and Hunters during your highschool time."

'Oh thats right.'

During high school times, middle schoolers learned the basic things of a hunter and its awakened powers, especially dungeons and the like.

Teachers learn those high school students before they graduate high school. Its better knowing the awareness of hunters and dungeons than knowing nothing about them.

Since dungeons spawn in random places And people get awakened not knowingly.

Instructor Ann:"This School is like college mixed high school, except that this school is 10x harder than a college one, But i do have a lot of expectations of you all."

Instructor Ann:"You will have early group projects, Many essays, loads of homework, dangerous dungeon exploration and Awakened Training."

Instructor Ann:"So dont underestimate this school!"

Instructor Ann:"After all this isn't a normal school, this is an academy, You should all be glad that your rich parents got you into this school!"

After the instructor finally announced her speech, She finally taught us about the learnings of the school, Including group subjects and the like.

While the instructor rambled about the lessons, I tried to think of finding things out of the novel.

'Since this is a novel. There should be characters that i remember... ...Who are they again..?'

I confused myself from thinking as i got another struck on the head.

More fragments of memories in the novel came into my mind, But like before, It gave me a faint headache.

'Now i remember...'

'This novel is a reincarnation novel. in which the protagonist reincarnates in his novel.'

Unlike me, The protagonist is an omniscient person and can remember each single plot of the novel he reincarnated in.

The novel he reincarnated in is named as "Awakened light".

'Despite that the actual name is novel reincarnation, He reincarnated in the novel he read; awakened light.'

'But... How did i remember this information..?'

'hmm...'

'How confusing....' I thought as i pondered silently.

Unfortunately, As i go further into my memories, which are the ones i got struck with, I only remembered some of the characters and barely of the plots.

'i guess I'm not a genius unlike the protagonist.' I thought as i sighed lightly.

'Now that i think about it, What should i do with this kind of information?' I thought silently.

'Now that i know this world is a novel, I shouldn't really disturb any of the plots right?'

I was silent for a moment before saying anything.

'Thats.. right..'

'I shouldn't disturb any of the plots.'

'Now that i remembered, should i come up with a plan on how to avoid these kinds of people?'

'I think there was a simple way... But it should be easy enough right?' I thought.

As i think of ways and ideas, The bell rang.

Teacher Ann:"Alright, Class dismissed."

Instructor Ann:"Oh i almost forgot,there will be no classes here for the whole day, so please get your dorm room keys from under your chairs."

Instructor Ann:"Explore the whole school if you all want to, but remember, go back to your dorm rooms before 6 pm, alright?"

Instructor Ann:"And there is a map with the dorm room keys, so if you get lost in the school, the map will guide you back to the student dormroom hallways."

'Dorm rooms.. i forgot there are dorm rooms in this novel.'

Each room represents one student, Since this school is extremely huge. Each student owns only one dorm room.

The school knows each student's taste and specifically made a special room just for them.

With a bathroom, Kitchen, Bedroom and a special room which can match the students liking and so on.

And each dorm room is like.. the size of my house.

As i got up and took the keys and map from under the chair, i then took my bag/luggage and went straight out of the room.

'I should go straight to the dormroom hallways' I thought, acting really dumb.

But just like i said before, I truly went straight to the student dorm room halls, Which I was able to find by following the other students in front of me.

And once I found my dorm room, I opened the door slightly.

The room was so big and spacious, It got my eyes widened by a centimeter.

'this... really is the size of my house.'

I thought, surprised.

The room itself was mixed with the modern and baroque or medieval style.. The academy itself likes one of the old designs along with the modern, i guess it makes sense that way.

I looked around my dorm room quietly with an expressionless face.

i was honestly quite amazed.

I explored each room until i stumbled upon the special room.

'Wait... Is this a music room!?'

I thought as i took a glance.

'It must've been the special room that the school prepared!'

'It's even well arranged!'

I went inside the room and took the first instrument I saw, Which is a guitar.

I then started to play a bit.

'I'll try the B cord...'

'♪♪♪...'

'...'

'this school knows my taste.'

I thought as my hoge wiggled in excitement.

'Even the strings aren't stiff! That's a good thing.'

'I'm already amazed by the fact that this academy knows each taste of the students.' I thought as my eyes sparkled slightly.

As i put back the guitar, i took the luggage and went inside my bedroom.

I then arranged my clothes and my things.

'Jeez, the cabinet is so big... even has so much space.'

I thought as I opened the cabinet.

I began to arrange each of my clothes and put all of them inside the cabinet in order.

'It's like I didn't bring enough clothes, it didn't even fill up the entire cabinet!' I thought as I finished arranging.

I sat down on my bed and rethink the things of the novel.

'So apparently, i only remembered the characters and a few plots of it.' I thought as i rubbed my chin.

'And if i want to avoid them and not disturb the storyline, i should come up with a plan...'

'Oh..!'
