Waking up in an unfamiliar world with no memories, I had only one advantage—a mind filled with knowledge of fictional tropes, clichés, and common sense learned from countless novels.

At first, I thought I was trapped in a romcom nightmare when I started triggering events like "Helping a Girl on a Rainy Day", "Damsel in Distress", and "Tripping Into the Heroine’s Arms." Naturally, I shut those nonsense down before they could escalate. No forced romances. No misunderstandings. No cringe.

But something was clearly off.

The world wasn’t just a slice-of-life comedy. 

Beneath the cliché academy setting, there were whispers of awakening powers, hidden dangers, and a brutal magic academy entrance exam. 

And every challenge I prevented or manipulated was an opportunity to grow stronger.

I may be just a background character, but if fate insists on throwing these events at me, I’ll turn them into stepping stones.

Let the protagonists play their scripted roles—I have my own path to power.

"Why am I even bothered about this?"

The thought echoed through my mind like a stone dropped into still water, ripples spreading outward, disturbing the surface of my certainty.

I watched the scene unfold before me—the blue-haired girl hesitating, Nolan standing stiffly in the rain, the universe itself holding its breath for the inevitable meet-cute.

I'm not close with either of them. So why?

It wasn't as if I had some moral obligation to disrupt every cliché I stumbled upon.

Although I'm not exactly fond of clichés or cringeworthy moments, is that really a valid reason to interfere?

Logic said no. This wasn't like before, where Aeron's avoidance of Emilia and Livia had been a matter of life and death. Or Zephyr needs help to improve his relationship with Luna. This was just… rain. An umbrella. A meet-cute that might lead to something, but it is obviously unrelated to me.
