Oh, no, he didn't!

Was she ready?

The headmaster's words got stuck in Penny's mind and it kept playing along in her head even after her conversation with him. Walking through the hallway back to her building, her steps were slow and her eyes were cast down. 

"How come I am not ready? I was prepared for this since infancy," she mumbled, recalling that she made ten backup plans if ever she couldn't change her fate and still ended up in the mansion that neglected her in the previous lifetime. 

But deep in her heart, it wasn't the headmaster's questions that resonated with her, but the feeling she felt at the thought. 

The plans Penny made back when she was an infant were all based on her previous life. Although there were still some events that didn't change and reoccurred in this life, many people around her changed one way or another.
