Waking up at four in the morning, he trained in his old bedroom, which had been redesigned into a private training room for him.
Since this body was too weak, he had to persist in daily training. The equipment he had purchased included weights, a pull-up bar, and various other workout tools.
By the time he finished training, it was already five o’clock, leaving him only an hour before he had to be at the academy. He had breakfast to replenish his energy, then thoroughly washed himself.
After finishing his bath, he looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but be surprised. The former Noctis was quite handsome, with long, messy hair tied into a ponytail while leaving the front strands hanging down—he looked like the heartthrob of the academy.
This made him somewhat jealous of the previous Noctis. Even though the guy had neglected himself, he was still outrageously attractive.
He quickly ignored his reflection, searched for his academy uniform, and put it on. The uniform consisted of a white inner shirt, a black vest, and a gray-black checkered tie.
Looking at himself in the mirror once again, he felt an urge to punch it. With that handsome face, long, carefree hair, and a black vest, he looked like a celebrity attending a gala.
He didn’t understand why the academy made students wear black vests. "They really want the female students to swoon over us, huh?" he silently remarked about the academy’s fashion choices.
Not wanting to waste any more time, he grabbed his bag and hurried toward the academy—only ten minutes left until class started.
As Noctis ran, he tried to recall his memories and managed to reach the school gates just in time.
Even though he had seen the academy in his memories, witnessing it with his own eyes still left him in awe.
The school was designed in a Gothic architectural style, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
However, before he could fully take in the scenery, he felt hundreds of gazes directed at him. These stares were filled with disdain and disgust—something he was unfortunately familiar with.
Ignoring those judgmental eyes, he followed his memories and headed to his classroom. He was a student of the Department of Biology and Anatomy.
And this was truly fate because, in his previous life, he had been a biological researcher. This was practically second nature to him.
Excited, he approached the classroom door. He hesitated for a moment but then decisively stepped inside.
The class was lively and noisy, with students chatting amongst themselves, not paying much attention to whoever had entered.
That was until a student suddenly shouted:
"It's the lunatic Noctis! He's actually here—run!"
The entire class immediately fell silent and turned their gazes toward the door.
This made him a bit nervous—far too many people were staring at him.
Sighing, he ignored their fearful expressions and walked to the back of the room, taking a seat near the window.
Seeing that he wasn't acting out like before, the students gradually calmed down. However, they remained cautious, ready to bolt at the slightest sign of abnormal behavior.
Once he sat down, the classroom was filled with an eerie silence. No one whispered, no one gossiped—everyone was afraid of provoking him.
The tense atmosphere remained until the school bell rang. A few minutes later, the teacher entered the classroom.
He was a young, energetic man with striking white hair and sharp black eyes that could easily charm any girl.
The teacher seemed surprised by the unusual silence of his students but quickly noticed the figure sitting by the window, resting his chin on his hand while gazing outside.
Seeing who it was, he immediately understood why the classroom was abnormally quiet. He was also quite puzzled as to why this student was here.
He knew that Noctis rarely attended class, as he was often busy conducting insane, inhumane experiments rather than listening to lectures.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
Realizing the teacher had entered, the students finally relaxed a little and greeted him together:
"Good morning, Professor Jen!"
Professor Jen responded with a gentle smile.
Surprisingly, Noctis also stood up and greeted the teacher.
This caught Professor Jen off guard—this lunatic student was behaving completely differently from usual.
Noctis noticed the teacher’s surprise but didn’t care. He was here for knowledge. That was the sole reason he had come to class.
And so, he wanted to learn as much as possible, as quickly as possible.
Professor Jen began his lesson, but it quickly became dull.
DNA, human tissue, circulatory systems— all of these were elementary topics. Noctis had already memorized them long ago.
Just as he was about to sink into boredom, the professor finally moved on to something more interesting: Extraordinary Biology.
This was exactly what he had been waiting for.
Professor Jen began his lecture:
"Today, we will discuss the structure of an extraordinary being’s body. First of all, how do they differ from us? The answer is simple—their bodies have undergone transformations to adapt to their newfound abilities. Now, what kind of changes do they experience?"
"First, their nervous systems are enhanced. Those who awaken as extraordinary beings develop heightened reflexes and faster information processing. Higher-level individuals can even communicate telepathically or perceive souls."
"Second, they have unique circulatory systems. This is one of the key differences between an extraordinary being and a regular human. Their blood contains extraordinary energy unique to them—no one else can absorb it. However, this power can be inherited."
"Their blood cells regenerate at an accelerated rate, allowing them to heal wounds much faster. For example, a regular human might take one or two days to recover from a serious injury, whereas an extraordinary being might heal completely within minutes or an hour. Some can even manipulate their circulation to control their strength and regeneration speed."
"They also undergo skeletal and muscular changes. Some individuals grow to be 2-3 meters tall after awakening their blessings due to rapid bone development. Their bones are harder than iron, and their muscles experience significantly less fatigue than a normal human—sometimes dozens of times less."
"Alright, that’s all for today. Tomorrow, we will discuss the ‘Mechanisms of Energy Absorption and Transformation.’ Make sure to review the material."
With that, Professor Jen concluded the lesson.
However, Noctis was still sitting there, lost in thought.
He was exhilarated by this new knowledge. Even though these concepts weren’t difficult to understand—after all, it was obvious that extraordinary beings were beyond the realm of ordinary humans—he was still thrilled to have learned something new.
Standing up and leaving the classroom in a good mood, Noctis was oblivious to the terrified students behind him.
To them, his behavior today was utterly bizarre and terrifying.
Just walking through the hallways made him feel like a celebrity. Everyone was staring at him.
Still, he didn’t plan on using his [Blend] ability. If the notorious lunatic Noctis suddenly disappeared in front of everyone, it would cause absolute chaos.
He walked with confidence, but suddenly—
BAM!
Someone crashed into him, hitting him in the stomach.
It didn’t hurt, but it nearly knocked him over.
Regaining his balance, he turned to see who had bumped into him.
It was a girl with light brown hair. She wore round glasses, and her light brown eyes made her look even more beautiful.
‘Not that she wasn’t already stunning,’ he thought to himself.
Then, suddenly, he realized—
Wait… was that Noctis’s old personality influencing my thoughts?
Rubbing his temples in frustration, he looked at the girl, who was now frantically searching for her glasses.
Before she could find them, a gentle hand took hers.
Noctis lightly placed the glasses into her palm and reassured her:
"It’s okay, it’s okay. It was just an accident."
The moment she put her glasses on and looked up at him—her face went pale.
Then, with a near-teary voice, she shouted:
"Please don’t target me, Noctis! Spare me!"
And then she ran away.
Noctis just stood there, dumbfounded.
Glancing around at the terrified students, he quickly clarified:
"I didn’t do anything to her. Remember that."
The students all nervously nodded. Some even looked on the verge of tears.
He could only curse them silently: "Idiots."
After cursing them in his mind, he headed toward the cafeteria, as his stomach was already guiding him there.
It was no surprise that everyone made way for him, so he managed to finish his meal rather quickly.
Feeling full, he checked his phone and saw that there was still an hour left before the next class. Without hesitation, he made his way toward the library—the very place that made him want to attend school the most.
And with his ability [Knowledge], it was only a matter of time before he absorbed all the knowledge there.
However, the moment he stepped into the library, his body instinctively wanted to run.
The library was designed in a Gothic architectural style, and it even seemed to have a magical system. Books would automatically return to their designated places on the shelves.
It was an incredible sight, but the reason he wanted to run was because—
There were simply too many books.
If he wanted to find the exact books he needed to absorb, it would be an exhausting task.
Just as he was thinking about this, the librarian approached him and spoke in a soft voice:
"Noctis, if you're here to cause trouble, find somewhere else to do it. The books don’t hate you, but the Keeper of Knowledge does."
Hearing this, his memories suddenly resurfaced.
According to his past recollections, Noctis had once come here and destroyed a beloved book belonging to the Keeper of Knowledge.
That was why the Keeper harbored a deep hatred toward him.
Shaking his head with a sigh, he turned to the librarian and said:
"Today is Monday, so the Keeper of Knowledge isn’t here. Can you find me some books on the history of extraordinary beings and their powers? The more, the better."
The librarian agreed but warned him with a serious expression:
"Alright, but don’t damage them. If you do, the Keeper of Knowledge will hunt you down to your doorstep."
Noctis nodded in agreement, but deep inside, he was thrilled.
Even though the knowledge available here was restricted so that students could only access information appropriate for their level, that was more than enough for him.
So, he made up his mind—
He would skip all the remaining classes and bury himself in the library.
