Chapter 8 - 8: School

If there's one thing I've come to hate with all my strength since I reincarnated in this world, one of them was definitely school.

Don't get me wrong, I value teaching and I think all young people should at least go through high school before starting to build a life, but when you remember that I was an adult before coming here, you understand my point.

I've had all these classes, I've mastered all these subjects and I'm already smart enough to take a test to get me out of school forward. But obviously, I can't do that.

Prodigies unfortunately attract a lot of attention nowadays and I don't want a bunch of bootlickers filling my bag, so I'm forced to pretend to have the same level as the other children. But if you get close to me and ask me how much is 2x2, I will offend you a lot and only then will I answer you.

Another horrible part is the children. I'm almost 30 mentally, and having to live with a bunch of snoty brats is not good for my sanity. I can't even curse around them if I don't get a warning.

Most of them are not even studying. What they say the most is "play with me", "I'm stronger than you", "I have more toys than you" and all this childhood idiocy.

I was once a child, I went through this phase and I understand that when they grow up this will change, but having an adult mind and having to endure everything they do and say is not easy, especially when they don't leave me alone.

If you happen to have already forgotten, I am blonde, I have very flashy red eyes, a "birthmark with a strange shape" very visible to everyone and a skin that supposedly "shines" on sunny days. I am the definition of strange and fantastic that these children have.

Every day it's a different devil's child calling me to play, wanting to talk to me or inviting me to some stupid party. I understand, I'm like a rare animal for you, but at least leave me FOR 5 FUCKING MINUTES!

I'm sorry for the explosion, I'm sometimes like that when I'm angry. It's not very appropriate, but these demons really drive me crazy.

* RIIINNNG*

Holy shit, not recess... everything but recess, that's the time they try to get closer to me the most.

So, I quickly put my things away, left the room and after making sure that no one was in the hallway and that there were no cameras in place, I opened a portal and crossed, closing it as soon as I got to the other side.

For anyone who is saying that I'm being reckless by using my powers like this and that I shouldn't use my powers for mundane things or self-interest, so fuck you man, the power is mine and I use it for whatever I want.

But I think I've talked too much about myself, now let's talk about my school. The Metropolis high school is a consecrated and well-kept infrastructure of the city.

Being present since the foundation of the city and being built by the son of the founder of the city, the institution included primary, high school and higher education, with its students divided into teaching blocks, to prevent those of primary school from mixing with those of high school and so on.

The school included a cafeteria, a small park for primary school students, laboratory, soccer field, baseball field, a basketball court, etc.

As you can imagine, it's not just anyone who comes in here. It is usually the children of the rich or those whose parents have a lot of money who study here. I fit into the second category.

I'm now in the park, which luckily is still empty, trying to appreciate a little silence and momentary tranquility.

My days have been very calm. The only interesting thing that happened was some encounters I had with some supernatural creatures, most doppelgangers, the rest chimeras and little demons.

Chimeras are a strange and disproportionate mixture of several animals and small demons, or devils as I like to call them, are small beings that measure less than 1 meter similar to demons.

Strangely, it seems that they are coming in an order from the weakest to the strongest. Doppelgangers are very easy to kill, Chimeras are resistant, strong and fast and devils can use magic, even if low level. If I had to kick, I would say it has something to do with Fate.

Well, thanks to the devils, I'm now able to use fire magic, even if it's low-level.

I hope the next creature that comes to hunt me knows some high-level magic. Like, Warlock could use magic and was an excellent master in this art, nothing prevents me from learning too.

"Adrian! "

And there goes my peace.

Looking to the side, you could see the person who bothered me the most and also my only "friend", Jonnathan Kent. I put the word friend in quotes because he looks more like a child to take care of.

If you know the least about comics, then you know he's Superman's son. And he also studies at the same school as me and became my friend. Small world, right?

He was one of the people who bothered me the most in this school, but he was also one of the few who stopped talking when I asked and that was something I valued about him.

And besides, maybe I can also get involved with the man of steel if I have a good relationship with his son. Friends who benefit, right?

Well, my life so far is calm, and I wouldn't mind if it continued like this.
