The girl put on her glasses and went back into the laboratory.

As Shirone passed by, he looked inside and saw children of his age having a discussion over a strange magic circle.

�I feel like I�m in a different world!�

Shirone realized how small the well he was trapped in was.

Everyone here had special talents like him.

Now standing in front of the bulletin, the grades of 270 students were listed down.

In the Intermediate class, there were 42 students listed under Class Four, the highest level in the Intermediate section. And the one in first place was Amy Karmis.

�Oh? The Karmis family!�

Due to his experience working for the Ogent family, Shirone memorized the names of famous noble families.

Karmis was the 1st-class nobility who lived in the city of Creas.

�Cool!�

All the information overwhelmed him, but instead of being scared, his heart thumped wildly.

There were literally infinite competitions.

He wanted to compete. He wanted to challenge himself. He wanted to see how far he could reach.

�Yo! Amy! Wait for me!�

Shirone turned his head.

That person definitely said Amy. And now that he had the chance to see the person in first place in the Class Four Intermediate class, he turned to look, only to catch sight of a pretty girl with red hair and a book in her arms.

�Ah?�

At that moment, an unknown tension squeezed his heart.

Trauma. Emotions crashed over him before the memories had the chance to, and after a while, he remembered who she was.

It was the girl he met five years ago in the back alley.

�H-How could��

Shirone, frozen in shock, turned his head away as Amy walked towards him with her friend.

�Please, just pass by! Just go!�

Shirone hoped earnestly that they�d just ignore him for, in his eyes, nothing good could come out of them meeting. Thankfully, the two girls gave him no attention and were about to walk past� Or so he thought. Due to being in the moment, Shirone had totally forgotten that he was pretty attractive. And due to this, he did not notice that he had already caught the attention of one of the girls.

�Amy, Amy! Did you see the boy we just passed by? Is he new? He seems a bit too old to be a new student� Maybe he�s a transfer student? Oh my god, he�s totally my style.�

Amy couldn�t answer back even though she was listening to her chatty friend. It was because, like Shirone, she felt something weird.

�Strange� He looks familiar. Where have I seen him before?�

�Wait, are you interested in him? You, who never bothered to look at a guy before?�

�No. I really have seen him somewhere before.� JrNovels.com
