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..."

A Fool's Journey, or the Vagrancies of a Man in Exotic Lands
What does a sad bastard do when fate, literally, decides to throw him into a fantasy world? Solon just wanted to lead a normal life; work, share some pizza with friends, work, play some videogames or read something, work, maybe sleep?, work... Pretty much the usual, rinse and repeat. It was far from perfect, but life was nicely boring and comfy enough. Truth be told, he had hoped it would go on forever, or until he got married, or until the apocalypse finally decided to bring an end to everything. As far as he could tell, though, the former was about as likely as the latter; not very. And perhaps even somewhat related, if it ever came to it. Unfortunately, he saw himself involved in some sort of cosmic fart that screwed him over, brutally severing his life-plan. Or, maybe, would it be more suitable to say that Fate had other plans? Sure, he's yet to find out exactly what those plans might be, but, at the very least, they do seem to involve him being shoved into another world, fighting off a couple of horrendous creepers, and -almost- an accidental liaison with a baboon. Needless to say, the job doesn't come with dental care, and death seems more likely than retirement... Yep, when he got yoinked out of Earth, there were no princesses waiting for him, no sexy goddesses, and no severe Gandalf-wannabes! Heck, not even a bunch of demonic cultists! All he got for the trouble was a bunch of snarky windows and the honest desire to punch whatever bastard happens to be behind the smug System. Well, that, and a few forced trips to the so-called Tower of Ascension. Not exactly what he would have expected but, on the plus side, he does get to do some magic. Though, not quite the wand-waving kind. Whatever. One thing’s patently clear, though, he’s certainly not the chosen one, nor the summoned hero, nor the Savior. If anything, he himself might be in need of some saving... Just what kind of fool does the System take him for? Please do consider the tags. Also, 'Strong Lead' here means weak to strong, over a decent amount of time, not op from the very beginning. Things to expect: decent grammar, cheeky goats. Things not to expect: Harems, a decent sense of fashion.
