Chapter 62: Preparing for the Unit Test

Noah's POV(Point of view)

With the unit test looming just a few days away, the entire class seemed to be in preparation mode.

All non-essential classes were put on hold, giving ample time for students to focus on their studies.

Some students sought out to instructors.

Those who had a favorable reputation were fortunate enough to receive special attention from professors.

And then there was me—I couldn't care less about preparing.

Why bother when there was a far simpler solution?

Hack into the school's system, go to google, copy paste.

Easy peasy, why would I need to study?

If they had magic on their side, than I had science on my side.

And as for battle tests...I didn't really care if I did well or not.

I didn't care about Nola's honor bullshit either.

But there was something I did cared about...way more than this test.

From the moment I got transmigrated, two questions stuck to me like leeches hoping to suck the answers out of me.

First question, can I go back home?

I have given this question a lot of thought, and by a lot, I mean a lot.

I have thought about where I could get my answers from or what I should even do, or if my previous world even exists anymore.

I have thought about some bullshit like time traveling back into the past or breaking the source wall, but that was of course pure bullshit thoughts on my part.

"Huh... time traveling, as if that's even possible", I scoffed inwardly.

Moving on to the second question that haunted me: Can I stop the five cataclysms?

After devoting considerable time to this question, two distinct answers came. One was short and the other was long.

The short answer was a yes, while the long answer, unfortunately, was a no.

The catalyst for the fourth cataclysm is the unleashing of the "Demon God", which in turn would mark the beginning of the end.

Demon god was basically a god like entity.

With just a blink of an eye, the Demon god can erase this entire solar system.

But because it was such a powerful entity, the 'source wall', what I called it in the pages of my novel, prevented Demon god from entering this realm. He was in a separate realm in the fifth dimension.

The Demon god is not a living sentient being but an entity of destruction embodied.

Even though called 'Demon', this entity had nothing to do with demons.

The 4th cataclysm is when this entity of destruction finds a suitable 'vessel' on Earth.

It can send a very minuscule portion of itself into that vessel. That is the 4th cataclysm.

Of course, this vessel is a human being.

Who is that human being?

I have no answer because I never even mentioned him.

I intentionally kept this 'enigmatic' character shrouded in the shadows within the pages of my novel, planning to reveal his presence in the fourth volume.

Sadly, before I could complete writing the fourth volume, I got transmigrated.

The short answer to prevent the fourth cataclysm was to eliminate every human on this planet who bore even a remote resemblance to being the vessel.

While I wouldn't necessarily label myself as a mass murderer, if the long answer failed, I would have to take some extreme measures...

Maybe nuking half the population but hey, anything for the greater good right?

I highly doubted that the short answer was necessary.

I'm sure I won't have to take such steps...what are the chances? Because if I had to do that, the entire world would be my enemy. I don't picture myself in a battle against the whole world.

This vessel must be some foolish guy, easily detectable. I mean, he cannot possibly be a super intelligent genius that can outsmart me, right? Hahaha... right?

"Noah, Noah!" James called out to me, snapping me out of my absent-minded laughter.

"Y-yeah, what's up?"

"What on earth were you laughing about like a fool in the library?" James expressed his disapproval.

Currently, James, Anastasia, and I were currently in the library.

Even though I had no real need to study for the upcoming test like these two, I had decided to tag along for a change of scenery.

And what a surprise it was to see Emily here too.

I certainly hadn't noticed her as I made my way here, but now she was staring at me from her study, almost as if she found me to be amusing.

And her golden orbs did good to attract me from time to time.

Is it really a coincidence that I ended up near her study?

"Uh, yeah, sorry. I just remembered a dumb joke."

"You and your jokes", Anastasia chimed in, shaking her head in a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

***

"Mr. Reynold, it would greatly benefit me if you could complete the production of the toroid and spark gap by the end of this week."

My voice was more matured and deeper tone than usual, thanks to Nano. One of Nano's abilities- it can alter voice.

"Furthermore, I will be attaching the remaining blueprints for your reference. Kindly take into consideration the proposal I presented to you yesterday," I conveyed to Reynold, the head of SMV Aviation Pvt. Ltd.

SMV Aviation Pvt. Ltd, despite being a small-scale mechanical manufacturing industry, surprised me with its innovation and highly skilled engineers. I had no doubt that in the future, it would establish itself as one of the finest industries in the field.

Seizing the opportunity, I struck a deal with Reynold, leveraging my financial resources to persuade him.

I insisted that he constructs a specified mechanical parts for me.

One of those was needed for my Neuroshock Blaster.

["Absolutely, Mr. Albus, consider it done,"] Reynold affirmed me by my alias.

With a subtle click, the call abruptly ended, leaving me confident that the task was in motion.

'Now was time for some exercise.'

***

Unlike the usual scene where the gym remained deserted at night, today it was unexpectedly occupied by familiar faces of 1st year.

As I scanned the gym, my gaze eventually landed on an enchantress of a beauty for a girl.

Her medallion of golds drew me in, and I could see intense focus in them, unlike her usual mischief.

Her lips were crimson complemented by the natural rosy tint of her cheeks, and her milky skin...

Beads of sweat trickled down her face in a glistening cascade.

It was Emily.

The sound of an arrow hitting the bullseye snapped me out of my reverie.

'No time for distractions, sigma grindset, sigma grindset.'

For some reason, my eyes were always drawn to her.

Maybe it was because she was one of the main characters that compelled me?

Regardless, I retrieved my bow and a quiver full of arrows from my dimensional bracelet—a purchase I had made while journeying back from Baku.

Yes a Bow, unlike my usual machete.

Why a bow?

Well to utilize the power of the Solaris Arrow, a bow was an essential afterall.

Plus, there was no harm in expanding my skills and diversifying my arsenal with different weapons.

I headed towards the archery section, where Emily was the only person practicing at the moment.
