Ophelia Fleming believed that it was very difficult to survive in high school. Especially if he adds that he's been sleep deprived for the last three days.

On the way to biology class, she stuck to the ground. No one helped her as she tried to get her notes together. Of course, she still maintains her faith in humanity.

An attempt was made to rob her of her money at lunch and her toilet queue was taken by force. Fortunately, no one had yet discovered the entrance to the old classrooms on the attic, so she ate safely. Since she could not trust the cafeterias, her meal today was salami and cheese bread.

How healthy.

She didn't have any trouble getting out, which was odd. However, as she was leaving the market, she realized that she had no cash left in her pocket. She just sighed and made her way to one of the ATMs. She still has plenty of money to withdraw.

She doesn't know why she is so full of hope and faith. While the first thing Gotham received from a person was hope, she always kept it alive. She felt as if there were almost nothing impossible in life, or as if everything couldn't go downhill.

She was startled to find her gaze wandering and realized she was still in the kitchen. There was also a faint blue light floating around, around her hand. She immediately saw the knife standing a few centimeters away. She sighed and moved away from the counter, causing the shield covering her hand to disappear.

"You intend not to leave me, don't you?" She muttered and returned to her work. Her gaze lingered only briefly on her new ring.

It's not uncommon to get distracted while preparing dinner. Since she is alone in this huge mansion, her mind is always active and with her. That's why sometimes she doesn't even realize how time passes. However, for the last three days the situation has been the exact opposite.

It all started with a rumble coming from the garden of her house on Sunday morning. She was tending to the peppers in her greenhouse and was jotting down her pest control plan for the next time she came back. She also had to think about landscaping for tomato seedlings. However, she postponed these until the next weekend. And when that noise started, she thought her house was being attacked. Someone must have learned the location of the mansion and came to claim the valuable goods she inherited. The last thing on her mind would be a power ring from outer space.

She had seen Green Lantern on television and once when she visited Coast City. He had a lush, bright aura surrounding him. Everyone knew the symbol he wore on his ring and chest. However, the thing in her garden was nothing like what she had.

First of all, it had a pretty beautiful blue light. The symbol carved, including the one on the big lantern, was also different. After she swore an oath that was strange, ethereal, and at the same time beyond her control, the ring entered her finger with a powerful glow and enveloped her body.

If she understood the oath correctly, the power of this ring came from hope. It was strange, but that was what felt like a complete part of herself.

The outfit disappeared when the ring came off her finger. The next time she put it in it didn't come back, probably because she didn't want it or she did something wrong. But ever since she gained her extraordinary powers, everything seemed to be going a little differently.

More like trying to hope. As if she wasn't giving enough light wherever she went, now she wanted to be able to enlighten the world. Was it the power of the oath? Noted for research.

Even though all these thoughts made it seem as if she had experienced a terrible event, Ophelia loved the ring. Not only did she feel safer than she had felt in seven years, she also believed that he was a companion to her. While many things were happening to her during the day, she could feel the ring shaking on her finger. She believed that this action meant that she wanted to help her. Besides, it wasn't hard to control, she thought she had a mind.
