chapter 3

Looking at my identity card, I felt disappointed; the name Aiden Blaze seemed odd. But at least I was more handsome since my face was the perfect template for any main character in a Japanese novel, with standard black hair and black eyes like a 16-year-old should have. Securing my home, I hailed a taxi and set off towards UA. The ride was silent, but my mind was anything but quiet. My greatest concern was the helmet—my source of strength. Without it, I was vulnerable, an easy target for assassination. Villains in this world may not be as strong as in DC, but I am also weaker than my DC counterpart. Once they discovered my weakness, they would undoubtedly exploit it. Let me just say that if my villain put a bomb in this car, there would be no need for a big fight.

"Great Sage," I asked inside my mind, "is there a way to shield myself from death when I'm not wearing my helmet?"

[Analyzing] [Multiple solutions have been found.] [As an owner, you could borrow its magic power to cast spells to protect yourself. The second option is to let me integrate and create a connection between you and the helmet. This would allow me to cast magic spells you've learned from the book. I would suggest you learn lots of resurrection methods, so if you die using the helmet, I will be able to bring you back to life.]

"Wait, wait. If I recall correctly, you cannot use my helmet and my magic book."

[I cannot directly learn magic from the Magic Book, but if you learn lots of spells, I will be able to create or fuse them to make better spells. And I have no restriction over the helmet.] [Even the ability to travel to other worlds, I could activate without any hindrance.]

Hearing this came as a bit of a shock to me; it seems that the reason the Great Sage is prohibited from learning magic from the book is simply to compel me to learn magic on my own. Shaking my disappointment, I asked Great Sage to integrate herself with the helmet; if I'm in danger, Great Sage should instantly put the helmet on me to protect me.

As I was taking precautions, I arrived at the gates of U.A. High School. I looked at many students walking towards the entrance, with strange parts on their bodies.

A teacher instructed, "If you're here for the entrance exams, proceed to that location," while gesturing towards the designated area. Walking inside, I found an empty chair and sat down. Soon, teachers were handing out papers. I received my paper and looked at the questions.

I was a little confused since I didn't know any of these questions, so I decided to cheat a little by asking Great Sage to scan all the papers and give me the correct answers. After the first exam, a second exam was announced.

"Are you ready?" Present Mic exclaimed. Yet again, he received no response. Descending from the podium, he announced, "You will be participating in a 10-minute mock battle." After I drop the mic here, you'll have to head to your specified center. Okay!! Let's check out your targets! In each battle center, there are three villains. Defeating an easy villain earns 1 point, a medium villain 2 points, and a hard villain 3 points. You just need to defeat as many villains as possible to score the highest number of points. You can't attack other examinees; that's a big no," Present Mic said.

"Excuse me, sir, but I have a question," a black-haired student said as he stood up and raised his hand.

"Hit me!" Present Mic exclaimed, as the student seized the class's attention and a spotlight illuminated him. Striking poses, he proclaimed, "You've listed four types of villains on the printouts, not three! With all due respect, if this is an error, it's a disgrace!" Lida's words left the students looking astonished. "As students, we expect the pinnacle of Japan's education at such a renowned school! Such a mistake is unacceptable!" He continued.

"Alright, alright! Examinee 10001, the fourth villain type, is worth zero points. There will be no benefit to defeating it," announced Present Mic.

"Thank you very much. Please continue," Lida responded, bowing before retaking his seat.

Watching everything, which was almost 90% similar to the anime, my mind was a little confused. Since I wasn't able to adjust myself,I wasn't sure what was supposed to happen. While I might like to have lots of beautiful girls from not just this world but every anime or movie world, this couldn't be my life goal.
