...When i first woke up in that hospital, The only thing i could think of was confusion, Overthinking and the lack of ideas and brain-storming.

It's been like that the next 2 days, Then forgot about it in the 3rd..

I didn't really thought about it much... Did i?

Well I never had much time to think during those 2 months, Even after the events and incidents i have to go through.

Although i already knew I was involved in the novel now because of a mistake I 'fully' made,

I didn't really think about it much after getting a whole month and a half of break time from the occurrences in the novel..... Well, except for the times when I'm in my classroom, doing work studies, essays and pretty much, the like.

< Though i was able to go through those days unnoticed >

But honestly, I felt like a clown when i said "I will not disturb the main plot!" when i first remembered about the novel....

Well, At least i got to go through this entire school unnoticed for the past 2 years.

But still....

This novel is just... really harsh for me.

Because...

'....WHY DIDN'T I THINK THIS THROUGH!!!????'

I thought as the students inside the arena cheered with excitement, Cheering by the fact that im 'battling' a student enemy.

[ Expressionless Awakener ]

A week has passed and the event has finally started.

An event that will likely change the entire novel..

A mystery that is to come...

But honestly, I wouldn't remember this main event in the novel.... I mean, Why would I?

I opened my eyes slowly as the wind breezes through the open window.

I scratched my patch of scrambled hair and blinked twice while pointing at the outside world.

'...'

'Did i forgot to close the window..?'

I thought.

...Apparently, I did forgot to close it.

I yawned tirelessly as i took my phone.

Currently...

I just woke up from my bed inside my dormroom, It was honestly tiresome... Since i had to wake up at 3:00 am in the morning to train. Luckily, I slept around 5:00 Am afterwards.

'Good thing Red updated the training thing... But i wonder where Red is now..?' I thought curiously.

I checked the time quietly as I tapped on my phone.

[ 6:25 am ]

[ Friday 30th ]

'...'

'.....'

'....'

'I'm....'

'Late...'

'..Mesirably.'

I thought with a straight face.

I got up from my bed and yawned tirelessly again.

It's honestly bothersome, and i wanted to sleep longer, I could already feel my eyes reddening with no sleep.

But i couldn't since i have morning classes.

I didn't even get enough sleep last night since i had to do a lot of essays too...

Meaning i only slept for at least... Uhh 2 hours i think.

I took my time slowly as i dressed in my school uniform.

It doesn't really matter if i went to class late, The teacher is chill enough to let students late anyway.

and my Grades are in the same level of every normal student... So i guess you could say that my grades are slightly slipping. (Slightly?)

But who cares? I can still graduate even if i have low grades anyway.

I took the bag from the table and went to the kitchen to eat some breakfast.

Though the only thing i ate was just a slice of bread,

Which is just that.

Noises and running footsteps began to be heard from the other side of the door.. Slowly opening it in curiosity.

'...?'

'What's going on?'

I thought.

Suddenly, A few students came running through the hallways with pure excitement on their faces.

Cheering and chatting while walking inside the student dormroom halls as if there is a big event coming.

'..'

'Did i check the date wrong?'

I thought as i tilted my head in confusion.

I went out of my dorm and walked through the hallways.

Eventually, I arrived at my classroom like the usual, Though i'm still confused on the so called 'event' happening.

The huge classroom door was already opened, But the students that were supposed to be inside is nowhere to be seen.

'What-?'

I thought as i looked around the classroom confusingly.

Suddenly, My instructor, Alec kane, who was about to get out of the classroom, Noticed my face.

".."

"Kream? Why are you here?"

He spoke with his eyes widened.

"Huh-? I thought there will be classes today? and my name is Kim." I asked confusingly, Tilting my head in an expressionless manner.

"Kim, You're supposed to be with the other students! You should hurry or you'll be late! Didn't I talk about it after finishing yesterday's written exams?" He shouted.

'Now that I think about it, There was an exam yesterday was it..? I probably forgot about it and mistook it as a quiz.'

"Huh-? Where-?" I asked loudly as I checked both sides.

"Y,know what, Come with me, I'm sure the arena hasn't started yet." He spoke as he grabbed my wrist.

'...Arena-?'

Instructor Alec began to drag me out through the halls and eventually went outside of the school.

It was kind of embarrassing when the instructor grabbed me by the wrist for no reason, and i could tell just by looking at the students staring at me...

Instead of grabbing my wrist, I could've just followed you, y,know!

He continued to drag me out of the school.. dragging to some weird pathway leading to the school forest which i do not remember walking on.

Confusion filled in between my thoughts.

This isn't something i would normally do in a day between my daily lives in this school... Though i doubt there would be anything in particular....

Right..?

The dragging continues until a huge wall appeared.

"Were here!"

Instructor Alec spoke enthusiastically, somewhat smiling for no reason whatsoever.

'???'

'..A.... wall.?'

I thought quietly.

A huge wall in the middle of the school forest? I never knew this building existed until the instructor dragged me here.

'It must've been a part from the novel that i already forgot entirely about.' I thought.

"Now, Follow me, Kem! I'm sure you'll be very excited once you get inside!" Teacher Alec spoke with an enthusiastic expression, giving off a happy atmosphere.

'why does the teacher Alec keep mispelling my name..?' I thought as i looked at the instructor with a straight face.

He continued to grab me by the wrist again, going around the huge walls while walking like a cute duck.

There were a few lots of students running and giggling around through the pathways or through the school forest. Luckily, they didn't seem to notice me and the teacher grabbing my wrist.

But at this point, I already had a bad feeling about this so-called arena or something... I'm already involved inside the novel, but i can't help but forget everything about it with a blank face of confusion.

Why bother remembering when i just wanted to live a normal life..?

Eventually an entrance through the huge walls appeared.

It was hard to see the inside of the entrance because of the sun and light reflecting and emitting onto each other... and i don't even know how that works.

There was also shouting, cheering and noises that were easily heard through the entrance, It must've been because there were a lot of students inside.

Instructor Alec went inside the entrance after looking at me with an smiley face before finally letting go of my wrist.

I blinked twice as i give off no reaction, but within inside me lies off a hint of confusion.

'...'

'Now i'm nervous about going inside now' I thought in an expressionless manner.... or a straight face.

I sighed as i looked at the entrance once more.

'Since i'm already here, I guess i should go inside then.' I thought.

I slowly went inside as the bright light slowly fades...

It kinda reminds me of one of those games that has doors lit up in bright light or something, it was honestly kinda blinding that i had to close my eyes for a bit.

The light faded entirely as i entered the Arena...

I opened my eyes slowly as the small and clearable particles flowed through the air.

I looked above the horizon of the arena... The sky was filled in with an sky blue-ish color along with mistful clouds flowing through the air slowly.

Pieces of confetti were thrown everywhere.. making the atmosphere filled with different kinds of happy colors.

The students noises and cheers were filled with excitement, along with chatter that gives a feeling of enthusiastic-sation.

'Woah...' I thought.

The School arena reminded me of one of those Roman Arenas that were held from so long ago, Although the only difference is that they were replaced in the modern buildings and had Televisions that were viewed for the students on each side of the top walls.

I imagined what an Arena looks like when the teacher said something about it.. But i never expected that the arena would go beyond what i had imagined, thus it was bigger then what i thought it would be.

It was honestly exciting... and that now have i known that the atmosphere would turn out to be filled in shiny colors and sparkly excitement.

'But... Why are all of the students gathering here anyway.?' I pondered in forgetfulness.

I continued to look around the huge arena, thinking of where to go from here.

"Krem, Why are you still standing here?" A familliar person spoke to me.

I took a glance at the person, It was actually my instructor that took me by the wrist and came here.

But it seems like he mispelled my name again but this time, very badly.

"It's Kim... I thought you would remember it that easily, Teacher Alec." I spoke expressionlessly.

"Oh yeah! i forgot" He spoke awkwardly and enthusiastically as he smiled.

Honestly it was nerve-wracking, It's been a while since someone would misspell my name that easily.. But after all, My forgetfulness would be in the same level as people who try to remember me... I guess i really am that invisible, aren't I?

"You should go to the waiting room, I'm sure that your classmates are waiting for you." The instructor smiled as he spoke.

"Waiting room..? Why would I be in the waiting room..? Aren't I supposed to be with the other students watching the arena?" I asked, tilting my head.

"Did you forget? It's part of your exam this semester! Now hurry up and go to the waiting room!" The instructor mumbled loudly, signaling me to follow him to the so-called waiting room.

'...It's... exams ..day...??' I thought forgetfully.

I followed instructor Alec quietly inside the arena building and eventually stumbled to an normal door.

"This is the waiting room, I'll be at the upper deck of the arena building! Cya Later, Kred!" The instructor chuckled as he spoke, leaving the area enthusiastically as he tip-toed through the halls.

'...'

'It's Kim.... Not kred...' I thought with a straight face.

My name is easy to remember, why misspell it?

I sighed lightly as i slowly opened the door.

I looked around the inside room, It was filled with students from my classroom and other classes, though i already forgotten their faces and names.

I walked inside slowly as i continued to look around.

The room was huge enough to fill a whole entire community, Which from my class and other classes were mixed in together.

Though there are only 3 classes that were assigned here in this room.

The aurorawhales, Skylock and The Golden Grace classes.

I could tell just by looking at their uniforms.

I took a few more glances to the other students and the room before looking for a chair to sit on.

Suddenly, I accidentally glanced at the two protagonists; Kwan jihu and micheal lorn!

'!'

'They seem to be talking to each other...' I thought quietly as i continued to stare at them.

Suddenly, Kwan jihu, The other protagonist, glanced at me with cold eyes before looking away to a different direction.

And it also seems like he finished talking to micheal lorn too.

I was surprised, My eyes widened by a centimeter from the sudden glance.

He has also done this before at the classroom, but i don't remember when.

'Was it just my imagination..?' I thought as i blinked twice in a confused manner.

I shook my head and continued to look for a chair to sit.

My legs are already tired after getting dragged here by the instructor.(Or teacher I guess.) and I can't help but feel uncomfortable due to the huge crowd of students inside one huge room.

I don't even know these students! I don't even know their names to begin with! so whats the point getting to know them when i'll forget about them by the time this arena thing is over?

I continued to look around the room, looking for a chair to sit on, until I eventually saw one.

I took the chair and sat on it for a while, It didn't seem like anyone was using it, thus it was in a place with the other chairs which the other students are sitting on aswell.

Although it's in a crowd full of students, I can't help but feel lazy and comfortable due to the softness of the chair im sitting on.

'Let's just hope this chair is unreserved.' I thought.

I waited for a while, confused about what i am supposed to do now and what im exactly waiting for.

Though this is from a novel that im involved in now, I didn't really know what to do.

It's either help the protagonist or just avoid the protagonist entirely.

But the only thing i did is just do things normally like the past 2 years that i have done.

It was honestly dumb, and i didn't even know what i was doing.

Suddenly, A huge screen along with loud speakers turned on behind me, startling me to the point of almost falling.

Even more, I don't even know how I didn't notice the screen behind me!

[ Good morning students! Welcome to our 2nd semester of exams day! ] The huge screen, that was voiced by the principal of the academy, Spoke to the students inside the waiting room, making me glance at it and holding the chair tightly due to the quick-startle.

There were a few huge screens in each top corner of the room which i just noticed, some students were also startled by the loud noise that came from the speakers, I guess im not the only one who got startled.

The principal also announced through the huge screen inside the main arena, which students from the outside would come and watch.

[ Before we start the arena, I would like to announce one of the top most powerful instructors of the school! ]

[ meet the 3rd most powerful teacher... that is owned to be the class from aurorawhales... ]

[ Alec Kane!! ]

[ "Hello everyone!!" ] Instructor Alec Kane, Greeted the students, opening hes arms wide with an expression filled in enthusiastic-sation.

Most of the students inside the waiting room cheered with excitement as instructor Kane's face was put on screen.

The same goes for the audience that were inside the main arena that will be watching through the fight.

[ "Thank you all for coming to this special day!!, I hope all of you students studied for the written exams coming next week!!!" ] He spoke enthusiastically with a big smile on hes face.

'Dang, I forgot to study.' I thought with a straight face.

[ Let us now meet the second most powerful instructor of the academy... Meet.... Lilac welstone! ]

[ A retiree of the guild; Linking reign! ]

[ "Hello students!" ] Instructor Lilac, Greeted the students as she waved on screen, Giving some of the boy students inside the waiting room, filled with butterflies.

I continued to watch the announcement until a sudden thought came to mind.

'Lilac.. Welstone?' I thought quietly, giving a sense of familiarity.
