Damn it.
To think that I'd be transmigrated into some kind of academy novel...
I sighed deeply.
...
My name is Aestrea, just like the body I was transmigrated to.
In my past life, I was a world-popular actor who had won a bunch of awards and even filmed five of the best hits in the entire world as the main character.
I was praised as a genius actor by everyone and was living a life of dreams. Of course, besides acting, I also had some hobbies.
Like playing poker or gambling, but my favorite hobby is reading books.
From all kinds of genres; horror, fantasy, sci-fi, I didn't care about it as long as it had a good and attractive synopse.
And of course, I read plenty of academy novels.
I mean, the concept was just fun enough to get me hooked on them. From main characters such as extras, and third-rate villains to even professors or instructors!
There were plenty of them for me to read.
However, just yesterday, I was reading one of those novels, and when I went to sleep...
I woke up in this body!
And was immediately met with the flying panel in front of me.
Thankfully, I also got this body's memories just after I arrived.
His life was pitiful, to say the least.
He messed up and couldn't get into the academy he wanted, and ended up in the weakest academy of them all.
But, since he was what people call a late bloomer, he quickly grew and got a ton of new abilities and talents.
And by the third year, he was considered the strongest student in the academy with only one remaining year at it.
"Quite the hard worker..."
"Haaah..."
I couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.
After all...
"I got transmigrated at the wrong time."
At the moment where the academies were going to compete with each other to define who was actually the strongest.
And I was the student most teachers had their hopes on.
Currently, I am in one of the rooms of our academy's flying ship, heading towards the capital city known as Eternum, in the Eternal Country.
Yeah... pretty creative.
Ahem.
Tap, tap!
The sound of someone knocking at the door reached out.
"Mhm? Who is it?"
"It's me."
The door opened, and a soft voice reached my ears.
There, Vivian, my teacher appeared with a faint smile on her red luscious lips.
"How are you feeling?"
"Better now."
"That's great!" she sighed in relief, taking a seat on the bed, right next to me.
"I was worried that our best student wouldn't be able to participate in the academy's competition."
"Everyone started panicking after you passed out." she let out a small chuckle, meeting my eyes.
"Oh! Also, I got what you wanted."
She then proceeded to give me a few sheets of paper. I quickly took a look at it and couldn't help but smile.
'This is just perfect...'
It was the basic information of everyone I was going to fight.
The worst part about it, it's just that it's going to be a team fight so I might get pushed back by my teammates.
"Also, there is going to be one extra exam, but unfortunately, I don't have the information about what kind of exam, they wanted to be secretive."
"Thank you, teacher."
I smiled brightly at her. This was really going to be useful.
In response, she only patted my shoulder before parting her lips.
"Anything for my star student." she smiled wryly before leaving my room.
As soon as she left the room, my eyes landed on the sheets.
[Lucas Heartstone—Rank: C+]
[Ella C. Alastair—Rank: B-]
[Rose Firefly—Rank: B]
"Mhm... Of all of the academy novels, I transmigrated into this one, huh?"
A sigh escaped my mouth.
[The Academy's True Hero.]
A novel with the obvious academy concept, but instead, the main character doesn't get transmigrated or anything, instead the novel it's just about his adventure.
The [Eternum Academy] located in the capital is the place where most of the events occur, and it's flooded by thousands of demons.
And Lucas, who awakened the Light Affinity, is the hidden hero of the academy who takes most of his time killing those demons.
So, if it appears that his rank is simply located at C+, it's a lie.
His rank should be A- or even A due to the huge amount of demons that he already killed. Not to mention, that he has his own system.
In other words, he's a complete monster.
Well, I at least can see my status window, but...
"I'll need to fight against him somehow..."
To be honest, even with my monstrous stats, I'd say that I'd even lose against one of the heroines who are of lower rank than mine.
They're all special in their kind of way.
E.g. Ella C. Alastair is the second princess of the country and has almost mastered the Royal Sword Art that is equivalent to an SS rank art.
And Rose Firefly basically is a monster when it comes to fire magic, her rank should be on the higher ends of the A-Rank, and she should be able to manifest 5th-level spells if not 6th-level ones.
"Yeah... I'll need to avoid fighting them as much as I can."
That was the only chance I had.
Each academy is going to fight around five rounds, which means that if I want my academy to advance I'll need to win three rounds at last.
Two academies are going to be eliminated, and then there are going to be three remaining which is going to be a duel-based competition.
That means that they will basically send a student to the arena, and the student will fight opponents from either of the other two academies.
In the end, the two academies whose students have more wins will pass to the final round.
And the final round is going to be none other than a showdown.
An academy versus another academy; every chosen student will fight against the other academy and the last student standing will declare the winner.
However...
"I still have two weeks before the competition truly begins."
"I'll need to train hard, real hard."
It's a pity though.
In this novel in particular, I didn't reach many of the chapters since it was the most recent one that I had read.
It had over 500 chapters, yeah, but I was suddenly transmigrated before I could read them all.
Truly unfortunate.
But...
Thinking about it, how come I never heard about Aestrea in the novel?
I mean, I did hear about his identity as the Moonlight Swordsman since it was as famous as Lucas's hidden identity.
Did something happen to him before the competition or something?
It's weird...
Tap, tap!
Someone had knocked on the door, and soon a voice reached out to me.
"Aestrea, we've reached the capital city!"
We had finally arrived at Eternum.
