As Rain looked at this post he couldn't help but scroll down and see the opinions of other people.
He saw there were a lot of comments under the post. But most of them only answered one name.
[Nexus]
It was the world's greatest training institute that boasted state-of-the-art magic, science, and engineering.
It was located on the north side of the Dawn City. However, it was completely separated from the city.
Still, it was a funny thing that it got attacked by Villains many times in the plot.
"Haha.." A small laugh came out of Rain's mouth.
As the morning dawned, the tension from the previous day began to dissipate, and Rain fell back into his usual routine.
However, before continuing his routine Rain was checking some posts about the academy across the forum.
As he looked at the information about the academy, he remembered details about it.
"It was just like a gutter." There was only an opinion Rain had about the academy.
"I wonder how the first day of the new semester will go." He mumbled. "Those excited students won't know their life is going to change from now on." A smile appeared on his face.
He turned off his phone and resumed his routine.
He woke up early in the morning (4 am), feeling the cool island breeze brush against his face, and stretched his muscles.
The sound of the waves crashing against the shore nearby filled his ears, and the salty smell of the ocean breeze made him feel invigorated.
He completed his morning physical exercise, feeling his muscles flex and contract as he moved.
Once he was done, he took a quick shower to freshen up after breaking out into a sweat.
The warm water felt refreshing against his skin, and the scent of his soap mixed with the saltiness of the air.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfterward, he went to the kitchen to cook breakfast, which he ate while savoring the serene island surroundings.
He could taste the freshness of the eggs and the slight tang of the herbs he added.
"The classess should have been started at this point." He mumbled as he eat his breakfast.

As the sun slowly rose over the campus, a bustling energy filled the air.
Many students arrived early to start the first day of the semester.
The campus was filled with eager faces, excited chatter, and the sound of footsteps hurrying to their classes.
The grounds were alive with the sound of rustling leaves as the gentle breeze blew through the trees.
The smell of freshly cut grass and blooming flowers wafted through the air, as the students made their way towards the various buildings.
Students chatted along the way as they walked toward their classrooms.
In the distance, a group of students could be heard laughing and joking around, clearly excited to see each other again after the long break.
They hugged and high-fived each other, catching up on each other's summers and making plans for the new semester.
Surprisingly, these students weren't carrying any books or bags.
All of those materials were stored in the smartwatch given by the academy.
There were many buildings on the academy campus.
However, the classrooms were situated in the main building at the center of the academy campus.
However, the students can't walk to their classrooms all the way. It's because the whole academy campus was as large as Tokyo City in Rain's previous life.
This huge area contained thousands of students, of which around 2000 were first-year students.
Furthermore, Nexus also included training instructors, cafeteria ladies, store workers, cleaners, recruiters, government associates, engineers, security, doctors, and researchers who all took care of the students.
All these individuals added up to a total population of around 50,000.
That's why there was a Nexus bus service.
It ran every 10-15 minutes around campus. There were dozens of buses like that.
Nexus' semester began in late January. Currently, it was 8:AM.
Many students in the classroom were still sleepy and yawning.
They would have preferred to stay cooped up in their dorms if it wasn't the first day of the semester.
Some seats were empty and some were filled. Most of the students were talking with each other.
"Do you know, this year's first rank is from commoners?"
"If only Rain Holmes came here, he would have ranked first."
"Heh. That guy just ran away and became streamer. He might be just a weakling."
Some students were talking about the rankings of the current year.
"Hey, the uniform of Aristeia class is so cool."
"Yeah, the uniform of Anoikis class looks plain."
While others were talking about the class.
There were many buildings in the academy campus, but as today was the first of new semester, the students were going to their corresponding classrooms.

[First Year Aristeia Class, Nexus, Dawn City]
The classroom was equipped with cutting-edge technology, including touch-sensitive screens on the walls, holographic workstations, and advanced sensors to track learning methods.
Each student had a holographic workstation installed in their smartwatch that projected a 3D virtual hologram.
This allowed them to see live demonstrations of martial arts techniques, anatomy of the human body, and historical events.
The workstation was equipped with advanced sensors that tracked their learning methods, providing real-time feedback and analysis of their performance.
The ceiling was covered in a web of fiber optic cables that emitted a soft glow, creating a calming atmosphere in the room.
The classroom was abuzz with chatter as a group of girls animatedly discussed their favorite topics.
"Hey, did you see the live stream of Rain yesterday?" asked one of the girls.
"Yeah, I saw it. He's so handsome. I wish he'd come to the academy," replied another girl, garnering enthusiastic nods from most of the group.
"Nah, that's impossible this year. He didn't even take the entrance exam, and the academy doesn't accept transfer students. Maybe he can join us as a freshman next year," chimed in a third girl.
The news elicited dejected sighs from the other girls.
"Yeah, that would be great," said one of them excitedly. "We'd be seniors, and he'd be a handsome junior."
"But I don't think he'll ever come here," interjected a fourth girl, sounding somewhat pessimistic.
The others looked at her with concern. "Why not?" asked the first girl.
The entire group of girls turned their attention toward a particular member, who immediately caught their eye.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis young lady was strikingly beautiful, with luscious silver hair cascading down her waist and piercing blue eyes that shone like diamonds.
Her delicate features were akin to that of a porcelain doll, leaving the girls in awe of her beauty.
The name of this charming girl was Daisy Pacyfer, and she was ranked ninth among her peers for the current academic year.
Interestingly, she was one of the Villainess in the game.
Despite being the center of attention, Daisy remained poised and collected, exuding an air of elegance and grace that left the other girls in the group mesmerized.
"I mean, the person in question is Rain, a young man who apparently left his home and family to pursue his freedom without any regard for wealth or status.
So, what is his reason for coming here?" Daisy asked, her tone of voice filled with curiosity and excitement.
Coincidentally, Emma was also sitting nearby. Maybe her luck wasn't good.
She listened to her classmate's words with growing annoyance.
She had heard enough about Rain already, and the constant questions about their relationship were starting to get on her nerves.
She frowned as Daisy continued, "According to rumors, he is at least an advanced D-grade ranker, and he might have even broken through a C grade."
Hearing this, all of them were surprised.
"He could easily rank in the top 3 among the freshmen. Still, he didn't come." One of the girls commented.
"Why? It's because he doesn't have any connection here or any reason to come." Daisy explained nonchalantly. "As he said, he has no friends, his relationship with his sister is complicated, and he also—"
Suddenly, she turned her face to Emma and smirked, as if provoking her.
-canceled his engagement with his 'Fiancée'. Yeah, so we just have to enjoy the live streams." Saying this, Daisy giggled.
Emma felt her annoyance turn into anger as she realized that her classmate was trying to get a reaction out of her.
Ignoring her classmate's taunt, Emma took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
She knew that she needed to be careful about what she said on social media, or else the rumors about her relationship with Rain would only continue to grow.
Later that day, Emma logged onto her social media account and found that it was filled with questions about Rain.
She felt a mix of frustration and embarrassment as she read through the messages.
She didn't want to talk about her relationship with Rain, but it seemed like everyone else did.
After a few minutes of scrolling through the messages, Emma decided to post a short message in response.
She wrote, "Yes, we broke off and have no further comments." She hit the post button and hoped that would be the end of it.
In end, she decided to take a nap for a few minutes.
The students began to file into the classroom one by one, eagerly taking their seats in anticipation of the day's lessons.
Finally, the professor arrived, and the official start of the first class of the semester was signaled.
The students readied themselves for what was to come, settling in and leaning forward in their seats with excitement and curiosity.
The atmosphere was buzzing with anticipation, and the students were eager to begin their journey of knowledge and growth.
