16:00 the class was over.
" Hey!... hey man! "
" ZzzzZzz---- huh?... oh The class is over?"
" yes, it is." The boys in front of Syd told him.
" *yawns* thanks."
" No problem." He said.
Syd Barrett rubbed his eyes. but Suddenly he noticed something.
" Wait a sec. When is the class over? "
" It's 16:00 "
" What time is it?"
" 16:00.... oh 01 now."
"so... everyone in the room immediately went out when the bell rang?"
Syd noticed that there are only a few people in the room including him.
Of course, Jody wasn't here.
" Yeah...They went to see the test result."
" You ain't gonna see it?"
Asked Syd.
" I'm about to. but i think I may go later because... ya'know? too many people."
" .... I'll just take another nap. wake me up when you are leaving."
" Okay."
The boy hadn't even bowed suddenly a random girl quickly showed up at the class entrance.
S L A M !
"..." Syd gazed over her in frustration.
" SYD! "
" What!?"
" Come with me! Now! "
" Why?? who are you???"
" Just follow me to the hall! you've done something no one in this place could! "
" I do what-?"
Twisting his eyes brows, he followed her.
At the School hallway.
On a scoreboard, A place where they put the test result on.
" Hey!! Get out of the way! "
The girl shouted out to the crowd blocking them.
She led Syd Barrett to the scoreboard.
" What's wrong with you, woman?"
Syd Barrett still asleep.
“ Here!”
Finally, they have made their way to the front.
" Shit, Is that Syd Barrett they're talking about??"
" Yes, that's right. It's him! "
" Holy fuck, dude!"
It made Syd confused.
" 'fuck you're talkin' 'bout... what's wrong with all of you?"
Then, he saw Jody who was now standing in shock at the scoreboard while. Her jaws didn't drop, but her eyes were widened.
It expressed how much she got subverted.
Syd looked to the same direction she was looking.
The pretest result.
1. Syd Barrett ---- ( 91/100 ) , Jody Johansan--- ( 91/100 )

2. Seraphina Gilmour ---- ( 88/100)
3. Nikki Wetton ---- ( 85/100)
4. John StroKovsky ---- ( 81/100)
and so on...
" See what you have done?! "
The girl asked him, yet, he was still confused. What's so excited?
" Uh.. The first place has 2 people? what's wrong with that? "
" That's right!!! You are the first person who can go this far!!! Do you even realize how outstanding you are?! To think you've come close to Jody's level!!? "
" Shit... looks like Jody has finally met her worthy opponent! "
" who's this guy?!?!"
Syd had a feeling that there's an intense glaring towards him, and he was right.
It was Jody.
Though her face appeared to be unchanged, her eyes did.
" How?..... Syd Barrett??..." She asked politely, but Syd could feel that she's pretty shocked. Shocked enough to change her manner towards the boy to the opposite.
" I heard you grumbled about the test? "
" Oh... right. I did. how did you know?" He asked.
" Doesn't matter. I'm just wondering if you had cheated or not. But I think you didn't because you spend just only 30 minutes on the whole test and you have no GPA after all. You have no reason to cheat."
" Well, Didn't you just technically say that you are looking at me all the time? if it doesn't matter how you heard me, it also doesn't matter what I complained either."
"....."
" And you were right. I know the rules. and Yes, I didn't cheat. Doesn't matter how many scores I got, It won't affect any single bit of me since i'm just staying here for 1 semester."
He moved closer,
" I'm kinda curious about how you heard me. I'm pretty sure that I made my voice lowest as possible so that it wouldn't disturb people around me. An average hearing distance of a human is around 1-1.5 meters for a voice of 30dB. That's the same level of whispering or my complaint."
Syd grins.
" Maybe you're just having a better sense of hearing... Heh?"
He walked away. Leaving everyone behind.
" Syd Barrett...."
18:00 Around London ; England.
Syd Barrett was doing something on his black brandless notebook.
Looking at the screen, he was reading the information presented in front of him.

It seemed like there were something that's bothering him.
It's Jody Johansan.
Inside of Syd Barrett told him that this woman had something special.
" I believe in my inside me."
No need to wait, Syd grabbed his brandless smartphone and called to someone.
"....."
"........."
{ Yes, Brother? }
At the end of the call heard a voice of a woman who's surely younger than Syd.
" [Roxy]. Can you do me a favor?"
" ...?"
" look up a person name Jody Johansan. Not sure if it's a or o in the 'son' but she's a blonde girl with blue eyes. Looks a little threatening ..."
Syd continued,
" Like a female lead in a lesbian action movie. Can you do it?"
{Yes brother, please hold on...}
"....."
{ I got it. It's an O in the son...oh...}
" What is it?"
{ Brother... I better send you a file.}
" Yes, please."
Ding!
" Thank you, Roxy. Luv' ya."
Syd turned to his notebook.
" Let's see..."
" Jody Johanson. Graduated the middle school at st. Nicolas Philadephia .... Her father works in court as the Judge. Have 1 sibling.. Joel Johanson, an older sister. In the middle school....."
His eyes widened as he spotted a piece of interesting information.
"... As i thought.... my inside me was never wrong.."
" Jody Johanson. In charge of 20 cases of Altercation, 40 cases of scuffles, physical assault, ... been intimidated, overawe, terrorized, threatened her classmates, teachers,and People around her for 3 years. Ability... Air manipulation... "
" Wait a minute."
{ Yes, Brother. This is where things get more interesting. Where did you find her though?}
" Is there a possibility that She is 1 of the 4 Elementalist? "
{ Probably.}
" there's also a medical record over here."
Click.
" Let me see..."
" !!!! "
" Oh... Roxy... I think I have a plan now..."
.

Meanwhile at Jody's Apartment.
Usually, at this time, Jody would have been studying but today is different.
Despite all books in front of her, She couldn't get Syd Barrett outside her head.
What happened this day, Jody felt like she had been slapped in the face.
(I underestimated that guy...)
She thought.
I need to know more about him.
As she thought of that, She opened her iPad and started googling.
She typed, Syd Barrett, in the search engine.
In a blink of an eye, the results were shown.
Her eyes were rolling up and down.
" Syd Barrett...or in the other name
'Paithoon' is the only son of Anong Barrett (Toyah), Ex-miss universe 1970 and Thomas Barrett jr. , a famous Australian businessman. They are the owner of the Thailand conglomerate based in Bangkok. It is Thailand's largest private company and one of the world's largest conglomerates. It consists of three core businesses that operate in agribusiness and food, retail and distribution, and the telecommunications industries with investments in over 80 countries, employing over 600,000 people....."
All of that only told Jody that...
" he's a kid with rich parents..."
He has 1...Relatives.... his younger sister, Roxxy Barrett or as known as Paethai [Click for more]
Doesn't matter how much Jody had scrolled down, there's none of the other information.
" No other record than this Public-approach information..."
She closed the iPad.
Right now she was excited. Finally, there's someone who could equally rival her. It seemed like the boring daily life would have come to an end.
.
.
.
On the Next day.
Jody was about to go to school. She was waiting for the underground in the school uniform.
Looking at her wristwatch, it was 7:30 in the morning.
Glaring around her with iPods listening to music, she then noticed someone also waited for the underground 8 meters away from her.
It was Syd Barrett.
"! "
Jody stared at the teenage boy until she certain it's him. He's leaning on a pole, seemed not to care about the crowd.
(... It's him...)
After confirming that it's Syd. The underground arrived.
Jody jumped on the bogie.
Syd also entered the bogie ahead of her.
Due to the time, 7:30, it's early morning. So there were not many people on the subway. Jody then slowly made her way to the bogie ahead of her while the underground started moving from the station.
" What am I doing..? "
She asked herself. Was she trying to approach Syd Barrett?
" Probably..."

Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *

Gaijin
Gaijin means outsider or foreigner. That goes doubly so for David Wyatt after he found himself in a world being chased by something that looked eerily like a stereotypical Japanese Oni. Now, he has to figure out how he can find his place in a world where most people dislike him on principle. At least everything is also out to eat him in some way… wait, that’s a not a positive. This is a Eastern Fantasy GameLit story. It is primarily told from the main character's perspective with the very common trope of an isekai. There will be my own spin on things, so facts I pull from eastern mythology and legends will be drastically different in some aspects. In the end, this story is just for your and my enjoyment. There will be guaranteed chapters every Friday at 15:00 CST, and I will randomly post chapters at other times when I get in the mood for writing or when I like a particular scene.
