Rebirth of the Ruined Noble

Chapter 119 Returning To Academy (2)



119  Returning to academy (2)

'Fuck it!'

Eren stood in Professor Joshua's cluttered office, his mind a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts and emotions.

The news of the upcoming midterm exams, coupled with the realization that his interference had altered the course of events, weighed heavily on his shoulders.

'My actions have altered the future very much'

Butterfly effect, a theory which says that the world is deeply interconnected, such that one small occurrence can influence a much larger complex system.

To explain in simple terms, a small action of someone or something in one end of the world could affect the life of another at another end of the world. In such a world, the actions of Eren who knew the future continued to change the course of the future events.

The Midterm exams which were supposed to take place in the future had been scheduled much earlier and the content of the exam which was supposed to be a simple monster defeating trail had now changed to something much more complex by the intervention of the seven towers.

It is very likely that the seven towers made such a decision due to the incident at the royal palace, where the first years of the Freljord academy successfully fought off against the rebels.

The Towers were the main forces of the Mauryan empire, which constantly competed with each other, so when they witnessed tablets like Zephyr, Ezio, Eren, Julia, Evan and many more first years, it was normal for them to be greedy and pull them towards their organization.

The future that these talents had would make anyone desire them. So from that perspective, the collaboration of the seven towers to test such talents would be something that could be understandable.

Nevertheless, Eren's mind replayed the series of events that had led him to this point—the encounters with Zephyr and their exile exploration, the fire dragon's blessing, his interactions with Principal Jishuka, and the bonds he had formed with his friends. All of it had shaped his current reality, and he couldn't deny that his actions had far-reaching consequences.

The memories of his past life, once a source of guidance, now felt like uncertain whispers in the wind. Eren realized that he couldn't rely solely on that knowledge anymore. The future he knew was changing, and he needed to adapt and thrive in this new reality.

'I need to be careful in the future I can't trust my previous life memories anymore', he thought to himself while giving attention to Professor Joshua who spoke about the collaboration with the Seven Towers and the unique nature of the upcoming exam

"The contents of the exam were already revealed to the students, it will take place at the start of next month."

It seemed like the exam content was already revealed to the students through their personal projectors. As Eren had left his projector in his academic dorm, he was unaware of that fact and was eager to know about the details.

"The exam will take place in groups, each consisting of two members. You need to be in a group with one other student. As for choosing a teammate, there is only one rule that the rank difference between the two team members must be no more than 20.", he continued. "After you register with a teammate, a mission will be given to you by one of the seven towers. The mission will be based on your ranks and your grades will be evaluated by how well you will do the mission"

As Professor Joshua finished explaining the details of the upcoming exam, Eren took a deep breath and met the professor's gaze.

To sum up what the professor said, he had to find a teammate and register for the exam with them and one of the seven towers would give them a mission and based on how well they complete the mission, they would be graded.

"I understand, professor, I will do my best," Eren said, his voice resolute.

Professor Joshua studied Eren for a moment, his calm demeanor unchanged. "Good. It's crucial that you approach these exams with a calm mind, keep in mind that someone will be always watching you. If you are done, then get out, I have things to do."

As always, the Professor's words were harsh.

But Eren didn't mind, rather he felt it natural to hear the professor curse, so he bowed down slightly and went out.

Eren knew he had a lot to catch up on academically, physically, and emotionally. The past two weeks had been transformative, but he couldn't afford to rest on his laurels.

He also had an important decision to make.

The Principle of the Frejlord academy, Jishuka Von Cyprus, herself has extended him an offer to make Eren her personal disciple, that too in front of all the nobles in the festive palace!

She would come to visit him anytime and Eren had to give her an answer even if he didn't want to.

any challenge.

His physical training was equally paramount. Eren's time at the Pendragon Barony had fortified his Principal Jishuka von Cyprus was a formidable figure, one of the four supreme stars of the continent, and the spirit master who was the most mysterious among the four supremes.

It goes without saying that her guidance would prove invaluable to Eren. Not to mention the advantages and resources he would get being the only disciple of one of the four supreme stars.

But there was one problem, Eren's talent in magic was only average, that is why he leaned towards the path of knight and that was also the origin of Pendragons. If he, who is from the knight origin, takes the spirit master who is expert at magic as his master, then the things he could learn from her would be very limited.

For all he knew, Eren's growth could be negatively affected.

However, the choice ultimately was Eren's to make. He was yet to know why the spirit master suddenly made such an offer and also she mentioned something about her friend wanting to meet him, which Eren found very intriguing.

Anyway, as Eren left Professor Joshua's office, he found himself walking the familiar cobblestone paths of the academy. The bustling atmosphere, the vibrant energy, and the absence of familiar faces were a reminder that time had moved forward, and so had he.

Finding a quiet spot beneath the shade of a massive oak tree, Eren sat down and closed his eyes. He took a few deep breaths, allowing himself to be fully present in the moment. The memories of his past life still lingered, but he made a conscious decision to let go of his reliance on them.

"I can't change the past, but I can shape my future," Eren whispered to himself, his voice carrying a newfound resolve. He realized that he needed to focus on his current reality, embrace the opportunities before him, and carve a path that was uniquely his own.

First and foremost, he needed to catch up on his studies. The altered timeline had disrupted his academic progress, and Eren was determined to excel in the upcoming exams, even if the content had changed. He would rely on his intellect, his dedication, and the support of his family to overcome any challenge.

His physical training was equally paramount. Eren's time at the Pendragon Barony had fortified his body, but he needed to regain his peak condition to face whatever trials awaited him. The rigorous training with Professor Joshua would undoubtedly test his limits, but Eren welcomed the opportunity for growth.

And then there was the decision about Principal Jishuka's offer. Eren admired her strength and expertise, and he recognized the potential benefits of being her disciple. But he also had his own path to forge, and he needed to weigh the pros and cons carefully.

As Eren opened his eyes and stood up, a sense of determination coursed through his veins. He knew what he had to do. He would embrace his current reality, learn from his experiences, and create a future that was uniquely his own.

The weeks leading up to the mid-term exams would be intense, but Eren was ready to face them head-on. He would no longer be bound by the memories of his past life. Instead, he would embrace the present moment and shape his destiny with every step he took.

With a renewed sense of purpose, Eren set off toward the library, eager to immerse himself in his studies and prepare for the challenges that lay ahead. As he walked, he couldn't help but feel a spark of excitement—a feeling that, despite the uncertainties, he was exactly where he was meant to be.
