Getting to Jae Won High was a trip in and of itself.

For one, Carter liked to speed and for two, Carter liked to play music really, really loudly.

It was honestly a wonder how they didn't get pulled over.

Nicolai was actually thankful for the chaos, as that was what he was use to, and strangely it let him organize his thoughts a bit better.

He had a brand new life and no obligations where he had to put on that domineering, cruel mask on. 

Even if he had these new memories, it was hard to adjust to them. The Nicolai that existed before he woke up in the body was a very carefree boy, exactly how Nicolai wanted to be in his last life. However, the Nicolai of Lookism also did have his cruel streak, and had the ability to create Circus again. Only this time, Nicolai was actually friendly with those in Circus, and he was free to act as he pleased. But the Nicolai in the last life could only quietly hide behind a domineering mask to the point he didn't really understand people and relationships.

Perhaps in this life, he would be able to be himself and never go back to that fucked up person he had been before.

The thought of acting like that again made Nicolai's stomach turn unpleasantly.

In this life, he would just be himself and hopefully make a lot of friends while he was at it.

Oh, and fight. Although Nicolai wanted to get rid of his old life entirely, he couldn't get rid of the amazing feeling he had when he fought. Perhaps he could get even stronger here? Even if he was known as the strongest in his last life, he always thought he could be stronger.

All he needed to do now was befriend Daniel Park, partially because he desired to fight, but mostly because he knew the teen did his best to be kind and would make a great friend.

Ah, he was really excited, but he was also very nervous. He never had a friend before.

In his last life there were no friends, just him as the superior and his many, many subordinates. Regardless of how odd the relationship was between him and the members of Circus, he still did consider them his family. Though, most of the members of that Circus were deathly afraid of Nicolai.

'I really hope they're okay and not at each other's throats.'

Nicolai had made sure to pick the most suitable candidate and for the year or so after he hid himself from the world, Circus was still going strong. So maybe he didn't need to worry so much about it. They would all be fine without him and he now got to live a life he only dreamed of.

Well, now it wasn't a dream. It was his reality now.

"Oioioi, stop spacing, we're here."

Nicolai was so caught up in his thoughts he hadn't realized that they had arrived. He was going to make new friends with people his age. He was going to go to high school and graduate... Things he never got in his last life.

"Ah, thanks Carter." Nicolai felt awkward, namely because he wasn't yet use to using pleasantries with other people.

Nicolai didn't see Daniel, and figured he must have arrived either before or after Daniel. At this he felt a little disappointed, but figured he had all day to try and meet Daniel.
