"I'm back here again."
Noah stood before the massive gates of Novaris Academy, staring at the familiar sight before him.
For a moment, he simply stood there.
The towering gates, the elegant academy buildings visible beyond them, the familiar atmosphere filled with students and mana... Everything looked exactly as he remembered.
Nancy was resting comfortably on his shoulder, completely uninterested in his surroundings. The black cat merely curled herself against him as if the entire academy meant absolutely nothing to her.
Noah smiled faintly. He was genuinely happy to be back.
Yet, somewhere deep inside, another part of him desperately wished he could turn around, go home, crawl into his bed, and never step foot inside this damn academy again.
Unfortunately, fate or rather, his circumstances had other plans.
He had no choice but to attend.
'Tch. What kind of transmigrator am I supposed to be?'
Noah sighed inwardly.
