On a cold morning, amid the daily noise of students, A yellow sports car parked in drift at 100miles per hour. "Get out! You have to go to school like everyone else!"
"Why...............? Why.............? Why do I have to go through this? Someone like me......… Deserves god-like treatment even from his Father."
"Hey Hey." "I-It's him!" "I cant believe it's actually him." "Oh my god! I feel blessed today!"
As though a divine being has descended, praises polluted the air.
"I-It's.........… INFINITY CHILD!!!" As loud as thunder, they screamed out my name.
This is boring......…. Why do I have to come to school like everyone else?.........… Just look at them............ It's like I'm the main attraction in a Colosseum......…. And they are my spectators.......... Who can blame them?......…. I wouldn't miss the opportunity to stare at myself.............. If I were in their shoes.
I laid flat on the ground where I was kicked out of the car earlier. By now, there are thousands, no, millions of people circling around me. All their eyes fixed on this elite being.
Well, they are only over a hundred, but what's the difference?
"Let me through! Please let me through!"
That voice........... It's Hinata.
A frail looking boy made his way through the million spectators with great anticipation.
The spectators whispered like hypocrites. The boy frantically made his way to me and knelt.
Gently lifting my body up he remarked "Come on~ Infinity, you shouldn't be lying face down on the ground like this."
It was a lively morning right by the school gate. A very lively morning indeed. Just when I had gotten on my feet with Hinata's help, some other noise began "Make way! Make way I say!"
The new noise made the students disperse almost immediately. It was a group of important people in the school. The leading body I should say. They were the teachers, the dean and some staff.
"My My, Your popularity is astonishing as always." Said Hinata still holding onto me.
A luxurious car then parked in front of me, it was long, sparkly and had many doors. And from it, the Dean came out.
"If it isn't the Almighty Infinity...... I made sure to halt all activities to welcome your blessings towards us low class humans. If you would, Please join me....... I'll personally take you to your class in this luxurious ride befitting a man of such importance." he bowed down in a gentlemanly manner and opened the door.
"I see....... You mean to tell me...…. that this car...…. Is worthy of me?"
"No, no I was merely........"
"I don't think so......….. Nothing in this world........ Is worthy of me. I'll have my friend here.... accompany me."
"Hee!" Hinata's face turned bright red hearing me say that.
"I-If you insist, then I cant do anything to stop you........" The dean, looking a little disappointed then turned around to face the crowd.
Opening his arms like a bird, he spoke with a clear voice "........ Everyone! Infinity has blessed us with his presence! Let's all do our best to honor his kindness."
"Yes Sir!" Saluting to his words, they all started to enter the school gate.
"Thanks again for the blessings, Infinity...." The Dean bowed again then entered the car.
"Whew! My heart was pounding like crazy...….. Sights of the Dean are very rare but he personally came to greet you. Not even the world leaders speak to the Dean in such a manner as you did."
"World leaders........? It's only natural......... Because I'm above....... All of them."
"I know...... There is no one like you in the whole galaxy. Now let's hurry before classes start."
"The white line" a line just below the gate. The dream of every human alive is to one day cross this white line. To me......… It's just a pebble in my way.
On the other side of the 'line' is the........... "World Academy".
A century ago, the world was brought to a stand still by a group of humans that are today referred to as the "World Elites".
Because of their incredible knowledge, they conquered the whole world uniting all as one.
The whole world came together. Rules were formed, Agreements were made and Stability was attained.
Ever since then, International conflicts seized to exist. The whole world became like a single country governed by the elites and the countries became states under the world. Hence the formation of the "World Academy".
An institution with the sole purpose of training the future leaders. Graduating from the world academy guarantee's one the leadership over his state (country).
An island nation was chosen and cleared out to accommodate this Academy. Races of every kind have a 100% right to enter the Academy without discrimination because the world is one.
The classes were organized from 1 to 12. 1-6= Grade school, 6-9= Middle school, 9-12= High school.
Grade school became the equivalent of a Bachelor degree, and middle school became a Masters and a pHD degree while graduating from high school gives you the highest qualification in the world. Whatever it may be.
Over a million students attempt entry into the world academy each year, of which about a hundred thousand are promoted to the next year(class 2), ten thousand in year three and the numbers keep decreasing. By class 12: a million students would be reduced to no less than a hundred of which less than 20 graduate officially and are offered the "World Certificate" which in turn gives them leadership over the world.
It is said that with the knowledge obtained in class 1 of world academy: one's mind becomes pure and is cleared of all conflicts and related matters. Making them superhuman in humanities step to Co-evolution. But that's only in theory.
Entrance to the academy is absolutely free and applicants from all around the world only have to voice their interest to get admitted. Failures(those who fail to be promoted) have the option of going back to year one over and over again till they make it or get transferred to the "Continental Academy".
And if by chance one makes it to year 9 and fails: he would be sent back to year one again. Children five years of age with a middle aged man in the same class, all for the sake of being atop the world.
There is another academy in this academy country "Continental Academy" to facilitate failures of world academy and those with small ambitions(those who can't become world leaders) in return they become Company president's, CEO and other Jobs one might call an "Elite Job" a century ago.
The school has a modernized transport system. A student is taken to class by machines immediately after setting foot inside the gate.
This part of the school(High school) accommodates no more than a thousand students and is 2km in size. Students from year 10 and above repeat their classes and are not sent back to year one.
I'm currently in my 11th year together with Hinata. And believe me when I say........ I've never read a page in my life.
In a world where constant passing outs and deaths because of the severeness in studies is as common as breathing......…. I've never read a page in my life.
"Knowledge" My name is synonymous to that word. I'm the sole embodiment of knowledge. No one has more knowledge than the air I exhale.
{Yes, that's true.}
That voice again...... I've been hearing what sounded like a girl's voice every time I'm alone or talking to myself.
I have knowledge over the past and present. The future...... I wonder what it would be like to have knowledge of the future?
{Only a portion of the gods have that ability.}
Gods...….. I'm a god myself. I cant be described as a human. My knowledge isn't something as simple as that.
I can tell everything and anything about the world. From books to religious knowledge and traditions, you name it....... All you have to do is "ASK".
The answers come to me immediately when a questions is asked no matter what it maybe. I can tell what just happened or what is happening in a country tens of thousands of miles away immediately when asked.
Categorizing my knowledge as human is blasphemy against me.
I wasn't always like this..... In fact from year 1 to 6: I always took second in class and I didn't have knowledge about incidents or events occurring. It was strictly book knowledge. But now............….. I even have knowledge about the gods.
{And it's all thanks to me.}
I chose to ignore the voices I hear, making them all part of my thoughts. That way it's just me talking to myself.
ZOOZ
The escalator like machine stopped. They are connected through out the school and all you have to do is stand on one.
By swiping your ID, it assesses your year and the location of your class, then it takes you directly to your class in about 5 minutes. And that's because the school is mighty wide.
There are only five people in each classroom. Exceptional professors and scientists from all around the world were brought to teach in the academy. A single student in this academy acquires knowledge of over 10 fields of study, that's why the lectures are people who graduated from Academia over the years. Most of the are very powerful people in the world.
Students in high school undergo what is known as the "World Exams" to test their mass knowledge.
It is a thousand point exams in which no one has ever scored 500 points or above. Did I say no one?............…. Well I'm not just anyone.
The whole world went into shock when I broke that record......…. A thousand points.
Only one person was ever able to score 490 points in the last 100 years but I scored a thousand points without reading a day in my life. Truly the act of a god.
In seconds the whole world came to know of me(they already did before). Of course I was made to repeat the tests and was given other tests but I still scored all points.
In the end I was tested upon only to find out "He's just a normal human" as they called it.
It's only natural they would think I'm human because their technology couldn't measure my immense ability.
I also broke every record there is in the world: be it sports or whatever.
The building for the 2nd years is a 50 floor building with unbreakable defense. 5 people per class equals 5 people per floor. And naturally I'm on the highest floor.
From floor 1 to 25 are in the danger zone: meaning they would have to repeat the class if care is not taken. 26 to 45 have a high chance of moving onto the next class unless they slack off. And 46 to 50 will definitely move on.
Hinata and I are not in the same class. He's in class 30 which means he can be cut down if he slacks off. But luckily because of my good nature I take my time to teach him from my infinite wisdom.
The building for the 1st years has 100 floors and 25 for the 3rd years. All the other facilities are mainly for other purposes.
The whole nation "Academia" as it is called facilitates classes of both the World and the continental academies, while the capital comprises only the high schools.
The distance between a class 1 student and myself is about 5000 miles with classes scattered all over the country. And that's only because the final years(High school) is in the middle of the country.
Ding!
The elevator door opened because of my greatness.
"Let's hangout after classes okay?" Hinata, with a cheerful face got out on the 30th floor.
Hangout......…. Huh?
Ding! In no time at all, the door opened once more on the 50th floor.
I got off and set foot in the classroom.
The class is about fifty square feet in size with equipment for various classes neatly arranged behind the wall screen. I cant remember the last time I saw a book(Not literal) because of the advancement in technology, books have become rare items.
"I-Infinity....." The Professor paused as he saw me enter. He was wearing plain clothes with a lab coat, a mustache and glasses that describe someone who's been researching all his life.
It's only right that he's nervous. I mean come on......…. I know everything he doesn't.
Like an only star in an incredibly dark night, I received stares from everyone.
Looking around the class, I saw just how determined the other four students were. They are currently the best in their year.
There is absolutely no competition between us, there has never been. And it's not like they can do anything about it.
Upon entering class 7: I vowed to never lose to anyone ever again because I got fed up of always coming second. But Instead of taking my studies serious I decided to join martial arts.
And before I finished year 9 I mastered every martial arts there is in the world. Being a universal nation provided me with the opportunity to learn anything I wanted.
Unlike studies, martial arts proved to be challenging because its not only the use of the brain.
And now......…. I've become the ultimate being.
"Please take a seat Red.... No, Infinity." He staggered before this mighty being.
Hmm? Was he trying to use my real name?
I'm no longer a human so I gave up my name. Mentioning it has become a taboo in the academy world.
"Boring! Boring!" why do I have to listen to lectures when I already know everything about them unlike the professor himself?
"I know it's elementary knowledge to you, but it's actually very interesting If you were to pay a little attention."
The Prof walked to my seat trying to persuade me.
Yes! That's how it's supposed to be..... I like people who understand their status.
"Okay...…. Continue."
I guess I'll play along since he knows the difference between us.
The time went by in a flash and finally, the classes were over. I didn't pay attention to anything at all.
"Hey Infinity......." The other four students walked up to my seat.
My class consists of four boys and one girl. Make that three boys because I'm a god not human. I say boys and girls but the age gap between them is so obvious.
"It's been a month and a half since we began our second year and you are only just showing up? Must be nice being you."
The guy with a long face and a loose shirt spouted such nonsense.
"Nice.......?"
"While you were busy gaining more knowledge, your friend has been suffering in your stead."
"My...….. Friend?" Does she mean Hinata? The only girl in the class with the appearance of a complete geek informed me.
"Yes. It's a pity but she's gone through so much in the hands of the 3 elites." She? They always refer to him as 'she'...…. is it because he looks like a girl?
The 3 elites: they were the best students in the high school, which made them the best in academia..... That is before I joined.
Before and after I broke the record, they always threatened me "If you know what's good for you don't get in our way."
We weren't in the same year but they were still afraid of me...… Something only I can achieve.
But now they've done it! I can take their bullies but I wont allow anyone to touch Hinata!
I angrily got out of my seat aiming for the door..
"Hey take it easy, you cant use martial arts on normal students."
I know that...…. they would certainly die with a single punch from me.
"Strength" I've become a lot stronger lately...... human weapons can no longer harm me.
…...................…
About a 3 minutes ride on the escalator machines, Just below the 3rd year building is where the 3 so-called elites and their fans meet.
"I see cowardice... has become a weapon for the weak."
Getting closer to them, I shrugged away.
"CLAP CLAP CLAP" the 3 of them clapped their hands in joy seeing as they've found their prey.
"Sorry guys, we have some business to take care of with our 'record breaker' here."
"Eh? He really did come to school." "I know, he looks full of confidence."
WHISPER WHISPER WHISPER
The 10 or so followers, among which there were 7 girls left the location whispering and glancing at me as they walked away.
"This way..." One of the 3 pointed to a hall nearby seeing as no one was watching.
They are representatives from continents in the east, west and northern part of the world. One of them is at least forty years old.
They then entered the building and locked it when I entered. Even the hall was ginormous, enough to accommodate 3000 people comfortably.
"Hiyaaah!"
BAAM KTAA
Just as I entered the hall, meters away from the stage, the elites went on a rampage. Like an unbreakable punching bag, they used anything they could find to hit and stab me. It seemed they were out for my life.
"What are you guys...….. doing?"
"It doesn't hurt...…. it doesn't hurt at all" I said to anger them some more.
"What did you say!?"
"We were planning on going easy on you, but now we wont hold back!"
"Haa!" "Iyaaah!"
Like girls who've been attacked by mice, the yelled pitifully as they continued hitting me for ten minutes.
"Hah! Hah! Just what are you!?" "He-He hasn't moved an inch since we started hitting him."
"Are you guys......… finished?"
They looked at the metal pipes they were using to hit me "Monster! You are a monster!" "A-All the rods have bent!?"
"Me........? A monster? Funny..... coming from scum like you.........I'll take my leave now....... If you are finished."
My uniform got all torn, I should order new ones.
I haven't felt pain in quite some time.... Just as I thought...… My body is no longer that of a human's.
{Took you long enough to figure that out.}
It's dark outside so I don't think people will notice my appearance. Thinking that, I avoided the escalators and walked my way to the gate.
I really didn't need to hide at all. Considering the size of the school and number of students, only a few people can be seen when it's gotten dark.
Crossing the white line, dad waved at me from inside his car "YO!" He then parked in front of me seeing as I've ignored him.
"Come on~ don't be like that. The dean begged me to entertain them with your presence. Petty humans need your guidance you know."
I see. They cant help but feel blessed by my presence.
I got into the car and shut the door "Drive." I said bossily.
"Red...... What happened to your uniform?" dad said in a worried voice.
"Are you... talking to me?"
"You know I cant call you Infinity like the others right?"
"Leave me alone." I looked out the window to avoid any conversation.
Hinata..... I was in a hurry when I left, he wanted to hangout after school.
Tall buildings are everywhere in the city. The greater your knowledge the greater the treatment you receive.
I was asked what I wanted after I broke the record and I pointed...….. "That!" At the castle just outside of the city rumored to be the meeting place of the "World Elites".
I received many other gifts from wealthy "Humans" including this car we are currently riding in.
Riding in silence, we arrived home after half an hour's ride.
"Oh my~ how was your day my dear~." Mom was waiting by the entrance to welcome me.
Being welcomed after being away from home feels nice. It made me smile wholeheartedly. It wasn't always like this. My parents weren't always together with me.
As though she enjoyed praising me, she continued "How was school today? Your godliness~?"
"Stop it. You are his mother, you shouldn't treat him like that."
"Hmph! You are just envious.............. Of my success." Glaring down at dad, I ran up to my room and left them by the entrance.
Upon entering the castle, a big hall enough to hold a ball or a party could be seen. And about 40 feet from the entrance, there are two stairs adjacent to each other leading to the second floor.
Originally, the castle was decorated with paintings of the world elites and founders of academia. But right now, only portraits of my glorious achievements hang on the walls.
If this were a real castle which houses a king, then my room would be the king's chambers because of it's size and unique design.
Being the god I am, my room was decorated in pure white, lacking any childish or adolescent materials. Only the master bed and a chair next to it.
What a day............. I'm not going back to school again.
{Its not like you have been going before.}
I'm already leading the world......… I don't need a lame job.
{You are right........ I think it's about time I come out.}
Come out..........? Wait! These are not my thoughts!
{Hmm~ you just realized?...…. Here hold my hand.}
While I was still dazed by the sudden response, a transparent hand made it's way out of my body as if piercing me from the inside.
BAD-UMP BAD-UMP
"What the hell!" I yelled out.
{If you don't hold it, I wont be able to materialize.}
Ma-Materialize?
Subconsciously, I held the hand.
{There we go.....}
Like some sort of magic, with a dim blue light coming from my chest, a humanoid figure came out of my body.
"...................…"
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled at the top of my voice.
"Ta-Da! What do you think? We've been together this whole time.......... My name is Laviina, and I'm a god. Wink." she winked in a cute and daring manner.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
