My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—-Chapter 442 First Day Of School

Last night,

"You passed the exam?!" Joseph Schwarz exclaimed.

It was the night after the exhibition matches in the United Superheroes Academy were over. At first, Lydia was still unsure whether she passed the exam or not. However, she received confirmation that night and she was over the moon.

Then again, it was a given that she would pass the exam. It's just that, she thought too low of herself and assumed that there was a possibility of failure. Even her dad who was calling her right now knew that she would ace the exam. Not once did he doubt his daughter's performance.

"That's good. Wait til your mum hears about this. She always wanted to come back to Japan, right? She'll probably insist on flying over there as soon as possible." Joseph said with a smile on his face. "Well then, I need to go. You take care of yourself, okay?"

After exchanging greetings, Lydia put down the phone and headed to her bed. She was too excited to sleep for the night. No matter what she did, her eyes remained wide open.

To distract herself, she checked and rechecked her bag a couple of times, neatly arranged her uniform for tomorrow, and put everything she needed by the side of her bed. It was past twelve already, and she still felt energized.

Usually, she would be asleep by ten in the evening. However, today was different. She was too excited to even remain on her bed.

A brief glance at the clock told her to sleep. It was already 1 am in the morning. She didn't listen to herself though. Instead, she headed for the kitchen and cooked a couple of meals for tomorrow. She made sure to prepare two bentos, reserving one bento for Satoshi and the other one for herself.

Although she was aware that Satoshi never forgets his lunch, she prepared a bento for him anyway. If he didn't want to eat it, then he could take it home... or something like that. Just the thought alone enlivened her even more, and she enthusiastically prepared hamburg steaks and a couple of side dishes for tomorrow.

"And then... I can just cook rice tomorrow." She said to herself.

Satisfied with what she did, she returned to her room and stared at the clock for the second time. It was one thirty in the morning. Even though her body screamed with exhaustion, she still couldn't sleep a wink. She just lay there, wide awake, while thinking and coming up with activities they might do in class.

Her thoughts would wander to things about Satoshi as well. Just the thought of being classmates with him would redden her face.

Two o'clock.

Three o'clock.

By the time four o'clock came, Lydia felt that her eyes were too heavy. However, she still couldn't sleep. She was too excited about their class that the night wore on without giving her any rest. At this point, Lydia decided not to sleep anymore, just await the few hours left before she headed to school.

And then she fell asleep.

It was almost five in the morning and she finally fell asleep!

By the time she woke up, it was already ten in the morning. She was dazed at first, and then she remembered that today was their first class. Her eyes widened in surprise as she rushed her preparation. It took her twenty minutes to prepare, and she was out of the house by then.

"How could I fall asleep?!" She berated herself as she combed her hair. Using her superpower, she manifested a puddle of water on the ground, and she rode on top of it like a skateboard. This was the fastest transportation to school at the moment, and she couldn't afford to waste any more time.

"Excuse me, excuse me!" She repeatedly called out to the passers-by every time she passed through.

Less than ten minutes later, she arrived at school and rushed through the main entrance. She then headed straight to Class 3-1. She got lost a couple of times, but she finally got there... and it didn't even take her a minute to search for the classroom.

There was no one there.

"How come there's no one here?" She asked in confusion, as she rubbed her eyes. Initially, she thought she was dreaming, but after a minute or so, she came to the realization that the entire class probably went off-site to train in their first class.

She heaved a sigh. Just then, one of the teachers passed by, Red Velvet.

"Ah, unfortunately, they went to the Concrete Arena for some in-combat training. You're an exchange student, right?" She asked. "If you want, you can join us in our class for now while you wait for them. They're bound to return soon... uhm... probably before lunch break."

Since she didn't want to wait alone in class, she decided to go with Red Velvet for now. At the moment, she was going to teach combat basics to her class, Class 3-4. And then, if they have time, she was planning to pair them up for some light sparring.

The headcount of Class 3-4 was an odd number, though, so she was glad that Lydia missed her first class. It would be nice if everyone get to participate in some light sparring.

...

The heroes versus villains exercise was an utter failure, and Knighthawk wanted to dig a hole in the ground to crawl into due to the embarrassment he felt. He badly wanted to blame the losses on Dark Matter and Light Wing, but at this point, the only one he could blame was himself.

Since it was time to head home, Knighthawk gave his class a couple of pointers about the exercise so they could take home a couple of lessons and be more aware of their weaknesses and strengths. After that, he decided to do some quick attendance so that no one would be left behind.

A quick check on his list revealed that he was missing one person. "She wasn't there this morning... maybe she missed the first class?" Knighthawk asked himself as he saw Lydia's name on his list.
