My Bothersome Life 8 Accumulating Points

I got up at 4:30 to get ready for breakfast, I put my uniform on and woke Luke up to devise a strategy to get ourselves out of here as soon as possible. Luke looked astonishingly surprised that I got up earlier than him as he quickly got ready for breakfast. Before Luke went to grab his school bag on the wooden hanger, I grabbed his wrist and said, "I think it's time to make a strategy to make our living space more liveable."

When we got our insane schedules, we also got the schedule for exams and testing. When we first enter into each class, we have a orientation test. Meaning that the school is trying to test out our initial levels upon entering the school and how it compares to others. In fine print, the handout said that if the student and the partner gets a score that is higher than the top pair already enrolled, we get 10 000 points. However, if Luke and I manage to get last place, we get minus points.

That means that if Luke and I get last place, we get -10 000 points. However, if we are in the upper middle, we get 5000 points.

What I was aiming for was the upper middle of the class. I knew that it would be probably almost impossible to get better scores than the top pair that have enrolled into this brutal schedule since the age of two. However, Luke was a very capable person, well at least to me. Plus, I had my past life memories that could help out a little and maybe I could use the "cheats" given by God.

So if we managed to get 5000 points per subject, then we could finally live in a decent housing area (well at least middle class)!

After I repeated everything I had in mind to Luke with the exclusion of my reincarnation, Luke nodded which meant that he agreed.

The first class that we had a test for was history. Since, I had just come from a different world just over a week ago, I had to cram all the content within my brain for a week when we had to write a exam about three days ago.

History was all about memorization. I could have used the dimensional library that I got from God, but since Luke was already cramming all the history into me with his spartan teaching, I didn't want to use that gift anymore. However, since I couldn't sleep last night, I ended up pulling out a book from the dimensional library to put me to sleep and it was a history book.

Surprisingly, the history book was like a light novel! This world was split into six different districts, where each one would represent a different era in time. The vague summary was that the first district was the futuristic era where people had hover cars and robots to do most of their work for them with their huge mana. The second district was the science era where people were just starting to develop a new world where they would discover the existence of magic from science. The third district was where I came from, which was the technology era, where people started to develop smartphones and laptops. The fourth district was the industrial revolution era where people just started to develop new technologies. The fifth district was the Victorian era where people were ruled by the monarchy. Lastly, the sixth district was the time where people just started to live in civilizations with other people.

I didn't get to the part with details, but I felt that the third district and below was like the history of my old world! Plus, Luke fully crammed the first and second district's details to me (which I thought was pretty much nonsense), but I was on the edge of believing it after reading the light novel like history book.

Christopher led Luke and I to two vacant seats and placed the exam booklet on the desks after we sat down. I soon opened the exam booklet and started to write.

After I finished the exam, Christopher announced the results of our combined score, "Not bad! You placed 4th out of six pairs. Which means that you get zero points! Let's move onto the next subject!"

I'm sorry Luke, I really am. I know I was the one who brought you down. However, this really showed how capable the other four year olds were at this facility. Sigh.

The next class was math. Math was the one subject I was confident with from my past life and in this world. When Christopher announced the results for this subject, we got second place. Meaning we got 7500 points! I was almost in tears because my hard work from my past life paid off!

Soon after, we went down the stairs into the basement for mana training class. I didn't know how well I would do in this class because I have never used mana before. However, I have read a lot of manga and light novels and the protagonists almost always gets to use extraordinary magic! Most times, they do this by using their imagination to conquer up a clear image of what kind of magic they want to produce. So I planned to do the same.

When Luke and I was led to something called, 'the centre of this never ending space', Christopher started giving out instructions, "Please produce a small flame in this room."
