Chapter 5: Exam

Kairos sat down to study mechanical science, determined to ace the next day's exam. As they opened the book, something amazing happened - their mind started simulating the concepts automatically!

With each page turned, Kairos felt their understanding grow. They gained experience points, +0.05 to be exact, and realized that the more they studied, the easier it would become. This sparked a fierce focus, and they dove deeper into the subject.

Hours flew by like birds in flight, and Kairos didn't even notice. They read chapter after chapter, absorbing knowledge like a sponge. But when they finally looked up, they were shocked to see it was 4 am! Exhausted, they decided to sleep, knowing they had to be sharp for the exam.

Before drifting off, Kairos checked their progress - a whopping +2.25 intelligence exp! They smiled, feeling proud, and fell into a well-deserved sleep.

The next morning, Kairos woke up to a rude shock - 7:15 am! The exam was just 15 minutes away, and they still had to reach college. Panic set in, and they rushed out the door, grabbing a bread on the go. Sophia's reminder to eat breakfast fell on deaf ears as Kairos sprinted towards their destination, their heart racing like a wild animal.

Kairos beamed with excitement, discovering a new "Talent" function. With fresh upgrades, they felt invigorated and ready to tackle the exam. Confidence radiated from their very being as they headed out.

After the exam, Kairos set a hopeful target - a score of 93. But then, reality struck. As a human, they felt limited, especially compared to beings with quintillion-level powers. A bold plan formed in their mind: become a Saiyan, just like the legendary warriors.

Determined, Kairos sprinted home, fueled by a desire to boost their power. With each step, their energy grew -

[Power: +0.04]

[Power: +0.03]

The creaking of the door announced their arrival.

Sophia greeted her son with a warm smile, inquiring about the exam. Kairos assured her, "Good," but Sophia's knowing gaze hinted at skepticism. "You always say that, but never score above 90." Kairos' confidence remained unwavering, "This time I will, don't worry."

Sophia's teasing question, "You didn't cheat, right?" was met with a playful huff, "Humph.., I am a genius!" Kairos' determination and self-assurance shone brighter than ever, ready to take on the challenges ahead.

As I stepped into the library, the musty scent of old books and the gentle hum of focused chatter enveloped me. The room was alive with learners of all ages and professions, each absorbed in their own world of discovery. I wove through the shelves, my fingers trailing over the spines of the books, as I searched for the perfect companions for my study session.

My eyes landed on a treasure trove of texts: biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, English, botany, and more. I gathered a selection of books and settled into a quiet corner, ready to devour the knowledge within their pages. The words danced before my eyes as I delved into the world of science, language, and wonder.

Hours passed, and the library's patrons came and went, but I remained, lost in the realm of learning. The books were my portal to new ideas, and I was determined to absorb every concept, every theory, and every fact. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the library, I finally emerged from my studious reverie, my mind expanded and my heart filled with the thrill of discovery.

Just like this 4 years but with some sad memory .
