“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. From seatmates to teammates…but they never expected to be…**10:00 pm. Room 304Phineas and Alfred sat at a cluttered table in room 304, surrounded by wires, circuits, and scattered notes.“See, Alfred, my defense project is about creating a homemade battery using a lemon and copper wire. 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. But have you considered the voltage output and its efficiency? There's a lot for you to take into consideration if it'll be succes
“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. How could he possibly read a book from the middle, he needed to finish it. Just as he picked up the book, the system's robotic voice echoed in his mind.[System Notification: Congratulations Caspian, you have a
Afternoon.It was already time for the physics contest registration. Caspian accompanied Phineas to submit their group members list.“Long time no see.” It was Caddel, one of the members of Clayton's group of bullies, who spoke. 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
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
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
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. Hehehe, I heard he's going to be promoted to year three immediately. Unbelievable!”In the hallways, groups of students gathered, discussing Caspian's feat.
“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
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 with Evie since
