Chapter 5
Their walk took some time for them to arrive in front of that school. This whole time of walk, Arc was feeling down for the condition Alex is in.
Alex was also considering that protagonist of now is a bit of softie and he will eventually toughen up going through many situations in the future, but now all that future is a bit uncertain for him because system have the notice on how the amounts of dangers for them will increase meaning that he would have to be prepared for unexpected.
"Let's enter, I will introduce you to some good students who you can make friends with, and by the way there are some students who consider me enemy please try to stay away from them." Arc explained the initial chapter of novel to Alex in nutshell.
"Don't worry, we are bound to be together for long time. And as for those people, Karma always let people get who tgey deserve." Alex wasn't not a philosopher but he read a quite a share of manga and novels to learn these cringe lines.
"Okay, now let's enter." Arc pat the Arc on the shoulder before walking in front.
Class of today went very normally as those students who usually cause him problems haven't arrived today in school because this time, it was like just visiting each other because exams have been in which Arc failed with bad scores due to being transmigrated only 2 months before and had to change whole study from the very basic.
"Now, let's grab some food on the way getting home. It's not very far from here." Alex in his time in class was helped a lot by Alex in his studies.
Their bonding was going great, especillay due to Alex knowing what kind of person is Arc which he used to his own advantage.
Their walk starts again, at this point, their legs were getting sore from all this tiresome walking for so much distance.
Stopping at one food truck, they grabbed a burger each before starting to move while eating.
"What kind of element do you wanna awaken, Or to be specific, from basic five elements
, white elements, black elements or dimensional elements?" Alex knew what element would Arc awaken but that was all written by Writer to better suit the story. And that protagonist is standing as the real person before him, so he wanted to know his own choice.
"I just want to awaken a element, any element would do. I just don't want to fail my awakening." Arc answered munching on the burger.
"Don't worry, you will do it." Alex was just doing nothing else but only comforting at this point.
"Thanks for encouraging."
In five more minutes, they reached their place, which was a old home in dire need of reapair for some parts.
A lady seeing the Arc come home quickly came bringing the water on the table while saying, "Welcome back home."
"Hello auntie, I am home." Arc said while entering the home in response to his aunt.
"Hasn't sister, uncle or father have returned yet?" Arc asked coming to the table after changing the shoes into flip flops.
Alex walked behind him taking the shoes off but walked barefoot because he does not have any flip flops.
"No, they haven't… Wait, who is that behind you. Did you brought your friend home." Aunt asked.
"Auntie, the situation is a little more complicated than that. We are new friends, but the principal of high psychic school told us to take care of him and he probably has contacted the dad about this too." Alex said.
"You and your friend can now share one room because the other rooms are already occupied. I hope your friend does not have any problem with that."
"Of course not auntie, it will be my pleasure to a have place to sleep in." Alex said like a shy and introverted guy.
"Hearing this, Aunt got a gist of some underlying meaning of those words and raised an eye to ask the Arc about this.
"Auntie, he had lost all his memories and was wandering on roads like a homeless person until the principal took him in and everything else is as you see." Arc looked at Alex like he got him in a big mess.
"Oh! You poor soul. May the psychic light will embrace you and take your sufferings away." This was the iconic line of aunt that she use for encouraging the pitiful people.
"No need it worry, aunt. It will out eventually, because my family may be looking for me, if there is one though." Alex quickly followed with victim card to gain the sympathy and support of others.
After that, they had the little conversation before proceeding to eat the food and going to the room.
Where Arc gave him a little tour of his room while explaining things about it as how he do alarm for early as he have job in junior school's library as a librarian where he don't get paid but can access all books for free.
Alex was really impressed by how hardworking and smart this MC is. But he know that he barely passed many death moments and now with increased difficulty, this guy will definitely need a helping hand from someone, and who could have been better that Alex himself who know about future events.
"You can sleep on my bed, I will sleep in the chair and I need to read the books so I will sleep late and it wouldn't be much of a problem to me." Arc was telling truth that he was gonna read at night.
"I was thinking that if you are reading the books from library, then can I join in with you for this reading session." Arc said these words from his heart because his knowledge is still limited to his he info dumps in the novel and does not know much deep.
At this moment, a sudden feeling emerged in his mind, this was caused due to his unlimited skill use ending of one day. His energy have risen to 1/8 of what is needed for gaining the ability to cast skill of his clone element. But first he need to establish the stars in his mind world.
