The sun had almost rose high enough for someone to have brunch time. The light fluffy clouds were resting neatly on the entire canvas of the vast blue sky. Skyscrapers were standing mightily in the middle of the modern city with numerous floating vehicles on the air. The atmosphere was peaceful as how the people living their best life in the current time. And there was me—

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH GODDAMMIT! I GOT LATE AGAIN!!!"

Hye! my name is Evans Reinhard. Call me Evans. I am student of an infamous heroic academy called 'Azaria Prominent Heroic Academy'. I'm 20 years old by the way. This academy I am studying at is located at the Central City of Azaria Empire.

In each city will have their own leader from the royal bloodline.

Anthea is the largest city with highest population in the empire. Countless top companies, empire's important figures, main military base and even most of royal blood families resides in the central city. My family lives here in a standard-size two-stories house at a small province which is thirty minutes away walking from the academy.

My academy is a multi-course academy that have tons of subjects for students to choose but the main, renowned program of this academy is 'Blade Mastery Program', which predominantly teaches the students how to use their weapons in a refined and practical way to fight against the monsters and others dangerous creatures.

The trainers here is vastly knowledgeable about self-defence and monster slaying, they teach us how to use the weapon we wanted to use. The fun fact is, I am currently using a bow as my main weapon. I love swords, but this bow is my grandfather's gift. He gave it to me on my tenth years old birthday. I like it because it is kind of special than normal bows, this one can produce its own arrow the moment I pulled the string.

"Brother! Is that a magical bow you carrying at your back?" a primary schooler asked to me while waiting to cross the road.

"Yeah, exactly!"

"That's cool! I want to have that when I grow up!!"

"Yea, you can do it!! But for now, make sure you focus in the class alright?"

"Un!!" the boy nodded excitedly.

The traffic light for pedestrian crossing finally turned green indicating it was safe to cross the road.

"See you later boy!!" I waved to the boy while continue on sprinting to the academy.


--- [Lecture Hall] ---


"Kreek..."

I pushed the lecture room door slowly but it still produces a clear creaking sound.

"EVANS REINHARD."

I sighed and pushed the door casually with a resigned expression.

"I am sorry for being late. I promised I won't be late anymore," was the sentence that I want to say like how a normal student would say but—

"Yep, that's me sir. Good morning..."

The whole class was looking at me which made me super nervous. Please don't look at me. So, I decided to look straight to the lecturer who called my name just now while standing still at the door. It was too awkward to have my eye to any other spot of the classroom for now.

You know what? He is 29 this year and yet still single. He's knowledgeable, since he works as lecturer of course he is also loaded with money and on top of those, he is handsome. Why? He must be a nerd that's why.

But wait, I don't have a girlfriend either so am I also a nerd?

"So, tell me, why are you keep getting late in my class. Is learning history so unimportant to you hm... Evans Reinhard?"
