“Hello, Mister, I'm sorry, but I don't think you belong in this section of the mall. This is a high-end store, and I'm not sure you can afford anything here.”

Caspian raised an eyebrow, taken aback by the salesperson's rudeness. Excuse me? I'm just browsing, thank you very much. And I can afford whatever I want.”

The salesperson smirked. “Really? Or do you just want to steal?”

Caspian chuckled, amused by the salesperson's audacity. “Oh, wow, you really are something else. I'm just browsing, and you assume I'm a thief? That's rich.”

The salesperson's smirk faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered. “Well, excuse me for being cautious. We can't have just anyone in here, can we? Especially not someone dressed like you.”

Caspian shrugged, unfazed. “I suppose not. But judging a book by its cover? Definitely poor judgment. Also, I'm not just anyone. I'm a paying customer, and I deserve some respect.”

The salesperson snorted. “Respect? Do you think you deserve respect? You're probably

    “Oh, thank you so much! I don't know what happened. One minute I was walking down the escalator and the next...I don't know, it just stopped working!”Caspian smiled and helped himself up from the ground. “You're welcome, ma'am. I'm just glad I was here to help. It was just a malfunction, but it could have been worse if there were more people on it. Get welfare maintenance to fix it.”“Of… course, immediately.”She nodded and then turned to another sales person. “Where is Goodwill?” She demanded.“Manager Goodwill has not come to the mall for almost two weeks now. I heard he went out of town with his new chick. I've been in charge of his duties, you can let me know what you need, madam.”The woman's expression turned red upon hearing that. “What did you just say? He's been gone for two weeks without notice? Unacceptable!”She quickly pulled out her phone and dialed a number. “Hello, Madam. Good day. How may I help you?”“Where are you?” she asked in a bland tone.“Where else should I

    Whoa! Even the system is urging him to accept the offer! Caspian did not refuse, after all, it was a great opportunity to be able to return to college after two years of dropping out.“I hope it won't be a problem for you and the school?” Caspian said. Principal Benjamin hurriedly shook his head.“No, no. It's no problem. I think it'll be the best news for the students when you return. They'll be excited to see their old classmates.”Caspian, deep within him knew the principal was just saying that to convince him to return.

    Caspian's eyes narrowed slightly as Jake tried to interrupt the sale. But he didn't rise to the bait. Instead, he calmly addressed Mrs. Thompson. “I believe we were in the middle of finalizing the sale, Mrs. Thompson. Shall we proceed?” Mrs. Thompson nodded, feeling slightly relieved that Caspian did not take Jake's immaturity to heart. She glared at Jake before smiling and responding, “Yes, let's proceed, dear; please, let's go to the exchange office to process the gold payment. You do have your bank card with you right?” Caspian nodded positively and she gestured for him to follow her. Jake snorted. “You're making a big mistake, Mrs. Thompson. I'm offering double the price and a tip. It can help you a long way if you accept it. Stop pretending as if you don't like money.” Mrs. Thompson turned to Jake with a tired look. “I've already told you, Jake, we're proceeding with Caspian's offer.

    First day at college after a dropout, they say it's never really cool, and yes, it wasn't any different when it came to Caspian Grey Hastings. Although he might be a person who possesses the extraordinary system known to only him, it didn't make him any less human than the others, right? You can imagine the feeling of going back to school and being in the same class with those who are several years below you and also new faces of the younger generation that were in high school… thinking about how ridiculing it must be… but Caspian must face it if he wants to succeed. And this is exactly what happened…Caspian walked into his first class, his eyes scanning the room for an empty seat. He spotted one in the back and made his way towards it, trying to avoid eye contact with his new classmates.He didn't want to be seen but it seemed as if everyone already knew he was coming. Principal Benjamin probably made an announcement and most of them looked to have done research and knew who he wa

    Physics? Why!! He let out a soft groan. For years until now, physics has been Caspian's weakest Subject. Not only was it difficult to understand, but it was also difficult to scale through the exams. Caspian still recalled how he almost failed but luckily got a pass in physics in his college entrance examination. Sigh…He walked into the physics class with a heavy heart. Fuck! If only he could just skip the class, but no, he had zero choice if he wanted to succeed.Mr. Emmanuel, the Physics teacher, greeted the class with a warm smile. Although, he did not look good with such a big smile on his face.“Welcome, students! I trust you're all ready to dive into the fascinating world of Physics?”Caspian took his seat, noticing that his classmates were now looking at him with a heroic gaze. He wondered if it had something to do with his confrontation with Teacher Bella earlier. Caspian didn't mind and just pretended to not notice.“Since we're almost half the semester gone before our new s

    “Hey! Does the offer still stand?”Although he was reluctant to accept. He'd rather participate than lose everything he owns now. Plus, the system did not ask that he win, so what's there to fear? He'll even get benefits.“Yes… yes, of course. I'm Phineas Douglas, by the way; welcome to our group.”“Thank you… I'm Caspian Grey Hastings.”The two smiled at each other and then shook hands.

It's amazing how much electricity we can generate!”Alfred, a guy who looked similar to Phineas, chuckled. He wasn't at all surprised by Phinease's new idea. “That's impressive, Phineas.

    “Okay! So tell me, what's interesting about this book?” Caspian questioned with a bland look. He did not understand a bit of what he had just wasted his time reading.Phineas chuckled, “Tch! What do you mean by what's interesting about this story? Of course, it is super interesting and amusing. That's why it's currently the top trending novel. Sigh... You're the boring male Lead. Perhaps because you did not read from the beginning of the series, you might feel confused. I'll place it on the u desk when we are done.”Phineas patted Caspian on his shoulder, “Let's just settle your things properly in the wardrobe. By the way, I have this project I'm working on…”****Caspian was sitting alone, staring at the two books Phineas had placed on his desk. He made up his mind to read it.

    Afternoon.It was already time for the physics contest registration.

He turned out to be the person in charge of collecting the student list data. The mockery in his tone was obvious.Caspian's eyes narrowed as he approached Caddel, who was collecting the student list data. Caddel's smirk grew wider as he saw Caspian and his tone turned hostile.“Well, well, well. Look what we have here. The loser has decided to show up.”Caspian's grip on his pen tightened as he recalled the past encounter where Caddel had humiliated him alongside Clayton and their other group members.He ignored Caddel's jibe, trying to keep his cool. He had not forgotten and didn't think he'd even forget that encounter.“Just register us, Senior Caddel. We are not here to cause or accept trouble.” Phineas said, noticing the tension.But Caddel wouldn't let u

    They soon arrived at the estate gate. Caspian easily swiped his entrance blue card.“Access Granted; Welcome back Caspian Grey Hastings.”Alfred and Phineas couldn't believe their eyes. Caspian really had an apartment in this high end area.“Isn't this Royal Residential Estate?" Mackenzie asked, looking surprised.“Yes, you're welcome." Her eyes widened a bit as she stared at Caspian.

Time seemed to slow down as he activated his speed mode, the world blurring around him.The bus's horn blared, its brakes screeching as the driver desperately tried to stop.

    "That was... incredible," he admitted, shaking his head. "I thought I had you."Evie grinned, giving Alfred a playful punch on the shoulder. "You almost did! That was a close one.""Alright, my turn," Caspian said, stepping up to the controls. "Let's see if I can take down the reigning champ."Evie raised an eyebrow, a competitive glint in her eye. "Oh, you think you can beat me, huh?"Caspian selected Guile as his character, flexing his fingers over the buttons. "I've got a few tricks up my sleeve."The match began, and it was clear from the start that this was going to be different. Caspian's Guile moved with precision, dodging Chun-Li's attacks and countering with well-timed Sonic Booms and Flash Kicks.Evie's brow furrowed in concentration as she realized Caspian was a more formidable opponent than she had anticipated. His Guile moved with a fluid grace she hadn't seen before, and she found herself on the defensive more often than not."Where did you learn to play like this?" Evie

    “Gosh! So many emotions,” Evie exclaimed as she patted Caspian's shoulder. He chuckled and put down the microphone.The karaoke bar erupted into applause as Caspian and Evie finished their duet. “Whoa! Bravo!” “Encore! That was deep.”Caspian's face flushed with embarrassment as he took a bow. Evie grinned beside him. Phineas and Alfred high-fived each other. Their faces were beaming with smiles like proud Moms.“Wow, he's got some serious talent,” a girl at the next table said to her friend, nodding in Caspian's direction.“I know, right?” her friend replied. “I wonder what inspired him to sing like that. He was so into it. I almost thought he was the song owner.”“So true!”“These vocals he used… damn immersive. I think it's baritone” “No, it's tenor!”A group of guys nearby started discussing Caspian's vocals. One of them pulled out his phone and started searching for the song they had just performed.“Hey, this song is really popular,” he said, showing his friends the screen.

    As they entered the karaoke bar, the group was immediately immersed in a sea of colorful lights and upbeat music. The air was electric with excitement, and the smell of snacks and drinks wafted through the air. Evie squealed with delight, grabbing Caspian's arm. “Oh, they have the most trending songs! Let's go sing it!” Caspian's eyes scanned the room, taking in the vibrant atmosphere. Caspian cheered her on. “Go for it, Evie! Show us your talent!” Evie shook her head, her eyes sparkling mischievously. “No way, I'm not singing alone. Caspian, come sing with me!” “Wait! Sing? No way I'm going up that stage to sing. No… no!” Caspian immediately disagreed. He did not know how to sing very well, and he found it a bit girlish and immature to be singing in Karaoke, filled with lots of girls and college students. Phineas and Alfred chimed in, “Yeah, Caspian, join her! Don't be shy.” Caspian rolled his eyes at them and, pointed at them in annoyance, “Why don't you both go sing

    “Leave!?” Clayton sneered. “Who let you leave this place before me? You're too confident and I hate it.” He immediately moved forward and tried to grab Caspian’s shirt but Caspian acted fast and agile as he decisively moved away before Clayton could reach him. “I hate how proud you sound. But who am I to complain?” Caspian adjusted the collar of his shirt as he spoke. Disdain filled his voice. “Never in your entire life, try to touch me before even grabbing me. Don't make me let you regret it.” He warned. Clayton instantly felt insulted at once. This brat!! How did this good-for-nothing pretty face get the audacity to talk back at him? Is it because of his scholarship and useless achievements? Let's see how far he can go. His eyes blazed with evil intent as he chuckled. Clayton's face reddened with rage as he recalled the incident involving h Caddel which had caused him to be too embarrassed to go out with him. He knew he had to take revenge for Caddel if he wanted him

    Students, teachers, and staff couldn't stop talking about the genius who had solved the impossible physics questions and skipped a whole college year.“Did you hear about Caspian Grey Hastings?” someone whispered in the cafeteria. “He's a year two student, but he's already solving year three physics questions like a pro! Do you know he previously had a history of having dropped out before? Hmph! It Turns out he took a break and went into isolation to study. Now he has returned as a genius and is going to blow our heads with his abilities.”“I know, right? He was trolled on the school forum for being a nobody with only a good-looking face. Now, those who said he is just a pretty face have received a slap in the face. I think I have a picture of him, I'll post it in the forum,” another student replied.“Me too! I'm going to post it.

    Jaws dropped, eyes widened, and faces paled as Mr. Emmanuel and Principal Benjamin Moore gazed at the physics paper in utter disbelief. The three most challenging questions, once deemed unsimplified, now boasted clear, concise solutions, each one a masterpiece of simplicity. “What in the world...?” Principal Moore trailed off, his voice barely above a whisper. Mr. Emmanuel's eyes darted back and forth, scrutinizing every line, every equation, every solution. “This is impossible. No student can...can...do this!” Just then, a knock at the door broke the stunned silence. Principal Moore, still in a daze, called out, “Enter!” The door creaked open, and a man from the Bureau of Education stepped inside, his face ashen yet filled with excitement. “Principal Moore, I...I couldn't believe my eyes. I had to see it for myself.” He approached the desk, his eyes fixed on the paper, and his voice trembled. “These solutions...they're...they're revolutionary. The way they've simplified complex c

    Each group was presented with a set of complex physics questions. The duration was only thirty minutes, and there were a total of sixty questions, with each question having three sub-questions, which made it even more challenging.“I think we each should begin solving different questions so we can meet up with time,” Phineas suggested. Evie nodded in agreement.“I'm familiar with Electricity. I'll solve the six questions under electricity.”“Sounds good,” Caspian said, scanning the questions. “I'll take care of the Mechanics section. Phineas, can you handle Thermodynamics?”Phineas nodded, his eyes already fixed on the questions. “Got it. Alfred, can you tackle Waves and Optics?”Alfred nodded, his brow furrowed in concentration. “Yeah, I'm on it.”The group members dispersed, each focusing on their designated sections. The clock started ticking, and the room fell silent, except for the sound of scribbling pens and muttered calculations.[KNOW]Caspian worked with lightning speed. He
