Getting Used to a New World

After a long sleep, William finally woke up feeling refreshed as if what happened yesterday was simply a bad dream.

When he got up and stretched he decided to look in the mirror and realized that he was actually very handsome, it was surprising he did not have girls following over to date him, in fact, if the previous him hadn't been so slimy it is likely that would be his situation right now. 

As someone with much experience and knowledge, he knew that he had to repair his reputation and increase his grades in his classes. 

Of course, he could drop out and increase his strength with his own methods but it would be slower than using the school's resources and then he would be isolated from the establishment which would make his life harder when I can to getting money and becoming recognized as a mage. He did not have any desire to overthrow the current powers or create unnecessary conflict with large groups of people for easily avoidable reasons, it would not only make his life simpler but he would be able to use the system to his advantage when his strength rose to a certain degree.

As he got up and changed into a new pair of clothes which made him look even more handsome he left his dorm to go to the class he had today.   

The class he had first today was magic engineering taught by a woman named Miss Ezmerilda, she was known for being very attractive and teasing male students that were obviously aroused. From his memories she was definitely an interesting character, in William's mind she really did not fit the personality of a teacher but he would not judge her for it, she was very strong so it did not matter how quirky she was if she got results that is what matters. 

When he arrived at the large classroom some people looked at him in slight confusion, the events of yesterday likely got spread and they were wondering how he recovered so quickly. 

In response to their stares, he used his fingers to push his medium-length blonde hair out of his eyes and give a charming smile to the ladies, his first idea to increase his reputation was to play the role of a prince charming to win female affection with the goal of erasing his reputation as a grifter.

As he arrived he saw someone he was thinking about earlier, Sofie Warhall, the sister of the two brothers who paid a visit to him yesterday. He instantly walked over and sat down next to her. 

His previous self had approached her and filtered with her multiple times with mixed success, it was not that she was uninterested in him, it was more like she was just not excited to talk to him either. 

"Hi Sofie, are you ready for class today?"

Even though he replaced the other William he shamelessly took over his life and would fully use the information he inherited to pretend he was the original. 

Sophie looked up at him with casual eyes, she had beautiful dirty blonde hair and grey eyes, she was taller than average for girls, and possessed mesmerizing curves that would distract most males quickly. 

"Hello William, I didn't think I would see you here today after hearing what happened with my brothers."

William sat down and dismissed her statement.

"Some small issues won't cause me trouble, our final exams are in a few weeks so I need to come to class to learn."

Their conversation was loud enough for most of the students around them to hear what they said, most people assumed William was just cramming so he could pass, the idea of him acing the exam never crossed their minds. 

In the court of public opinion, he was already a manipulative snake who swindled anyone he could for money he could not pay back, even if he was handsome he was not worth getting to know. 

Soon later Miss Ezmerilda walked into the room with a binder of paper and looked everyone over quickly, she quickly put her papers down and stood in the middle of the room with a  wide smile.

"William, you seem different today, I heard you get your ass kicked yesterday but you looked fine. I wonder how you got so good at taking punches?"

Some students snickered as they were excited to see who their unprofessional teacher was going to tease today, since it was someone mutually disliked by most of them it was even more funny. 

With a straight back, William calmly responded.

"Miss Ezmerilda a real man will not sulk after a little scuffle, how could I be in a sorry state over such a small matter?"

His words sounded arrogant and nonchalant as she responded without a hint of annoyance or offense, the beautiful woman who was looking at him would not relent easily and continued going in on him.

"You call yourself a real man, I wonder if you can back up that claim, I doubt any girls would lower themselves so much to do anything more than maybe some pity sex since you have good looks. Is it not embarrassing to be proud of that?"

She was grinning at him like she loved watching young people squirm under her relentless verbal assault, unfortunately, her opponent was no longer a high school student.

"I do not know about ladies like Miss Ezmerilda but a gentleman doesn't kiss and tell, what I can tell you though is that no good store sells a product to a customer once and they never return."

With William looking back with a crooked grin instead of an embarassed or awkward expression Miss Ezmerilda was surprised but did not want to back down either.

"That is some big talk coming from a grifter like you, I wonder if anyone believes a word you say."

At this point the students were surprised and excited, it was rare that anyone tried to talk back to Miss Ezmerilda when she started teasing them but now it could be seen that William was on the offense against her, which had not happened so far in the entire school year they had been in her class, William himself had been caught lacking by her multiple times in fact. 

"If you come to my dorm tonight I don't mind letting you experience it first hand, don't worry though, I am a gentleman so even if you come over every night for the rest of the term I will not tell anyone."

When he finished speaking Miss Ezmerilda was so infuriated that she snapped the stick of chalk in her hand in an angry voice and spoke loudly.

"I think you should sit todays lesson out William, you clearly are prepared to be a disruption to the class today so you should just come back when this class meets next."

As William kept smiling he stood up and walked towards the door before speaking again.

"If you are too shy I don't mind if you bring a friend, teachers can get a buy one get one free special."

Before anyone could respond he opened the classroom door and walked outside just in the to dodge the flying pieces of chalk that Miss Ezmerilda threw at him at lightning speed. 

She had never been so embarrassed in her life, and it was by a 17-year-old student.
