Trapped in my Worst Novel

Back to Dreaming [1]

"Ugh..."

Now that Youssouf finally passed, i finally had the possibility to leave.

Once students had finished their exam, they were allowed to leave the building freely and do what they want outside.

That's exactly what i did, i took the opportunity that i was pretty close to the door to leave.

"Zineb, imma go leave, bye."

"Oh- Alright then, goodbye!!"

I waved her goodbye before leaving, with Sora and Soraya on my shoulders as i decided to head back.

***

I was finally back home since the first day of the physical exam was finished and students weren't allowed to observe if it wasn't their day to pass.

Since there were a lot of students, and the physical exam is the primary factor to know what rating the students would be.

Thankfully, i met most of the important characters in a single day so now i don't have to search for them once school actually starts.

Flop.

I layed on my bed lazily.

"Hah...I'm so tired..."

"...You didn't do as bad over there, i didn't notice any other distractors so it's clear you would get a somewhat high rating."

Did..Sora actually compliment me?

"Uh...Thanks?"

As i glanced at Soraya, she looked at me with an uncomfortable look on her face for no reason.

I silently chose to ignore her.

'Now...In around 3 days it will be the actual first day of school, and i need to know how am i going to work this whole thing out.'

In my past life, i wasn't really a social butterfly, and i'm still too timid to even try having a lot of friends.

The main reason why i managed to be somewhat close with Zineb was because she was an important character and was one of the nicer ones from the original cast, and the closest way to be acquaintances with people like her is to just compliment her.

'But..how the fuck am i going to survive here anyways?'

I barely remembered the entire plot, since it's been 5 years, and most of these characters, except Zineb and maybe Youssouf, are pretty much unlikeable.

I'm not smart at all, i couldn't even finish my architecture degree without getting distracted by something else, i always got average grades in my entire life and the only thing i'm good at is art, which i'm not even that great at doing in the first place.

..Why was i even here? Why was i enrolled in a hero school where it's inevitable that i wouldn't understand most things.

'Hah...I most likely have to rely on combat to stay in this school, since i do want to see what would happen if the plot changed a bit.'

'..That reminds me of the butterfly effect, doesn't it go a little something like when a butterfly flaps its wings, that small action could cause a hurricane? I might as well try it.'

'Maybe that very small action can simply be befriending some of the less important characters that still left some impact? Or maybe my entire existence is that action.'

Welp. Either way, all this thinking won't change the fact that i'm not going to have some sort of good time with exams and grades unless i use Sora to cheat.

'But honestly..'

I glanced at Sora quietly, who was looking out the window with a bored look on her face.
