Chapter 2: Cap 2
Since I had already showered and put on the clothes I was going to wear to school,
I waited a bit in my room while I did some research on my computer.
This was the world that in my previous life was a cartoon for children, but I was still surprised when I saw all the songs that did not exist in this world.
Since I didn't listen to music while I was walking I hadn't noticed this before, but now looking at Lincoln's pre-production list, I could tell that I didn't know any of these bands.
I liked music in my previous world, no matter the genre, from rock, heavy metal, pop, etc....
I knew a lot of songs, memorized perfectly in my mind for some reason, but I wouldn't complain.
it would be a good way to make money? i started thinking. considering my age and my current appearance, it might be a bit difficult to get gigs in a bar or anywhere else, no one was desperate enough to hire an 11 year old kid to sing in their bar.
Not that I was the best singer in the world either, but I could learn how to play instruments and sing and upload it to meTube to make money thanks to monetization and it would also help spread my music.
Following the path of music was the dream of many people, but most lacked individuality.
luckily for me, I had so many ideas of bands from my previous world that I could take from them to have "originality" in this world, as well as a huge repertoire of lyrics that had already been successful that I could use to succeed in this world.
of course, since I had to go to school I had no time for this, so I decided to look for singing lessons on the internet and practice them in the free time I had until I got home.
After a few minutes I could see that it was time to go to school, so before leaving I organized my things and made my bed.
Seeing that everything was ready, I left my room and went to the kitchen with my backpack.
As soon as I got to the kitchen, I saw Lori touching up her makeup in front of a small pocket mirror, while my new mother was making some eggs for breakfast.
"Good morning... "I said, not really knowing how to deal with this family, even though they were my family now it felt strange to have them after living a lifetime without them.... "Honestly, if all girls were like in the show, I'd have to be a girl.
honestly, if all the girls were like on the show it would be a real pain in the ass to deal with all of them,
Oh my God Lincoln, what happened to you?" my mother screamed in terror as she came over to me and checked my freshly cut hair.
For a traditional woman like her, it was hard to see her son with such a "Rebel" hairstyle but I had already figured this would happen.
At my mother's call, Lori also looked in my direction, curious, which caused her to raise an eyebrow slightly in my direction as she nodded, probably giving me her approval of my new haircut.
Considering that an average "attractive" person would be 8 points, I, who had gone from 4 to 5 points could barely be considered average, but obviously my appearance improved, something Lori clearly noticed.
At least if she liked me it meant that my current cut was no stranger to this world, even though I hardly care about people's opinions of me, it doesn't mean I'm immune to them.
ahora mirando a la mujer angustiada frente a mi, suspire internamente mientras respondía a los regaños que me estaba enviando.
"I just felt like cutting it, my previous cut I wore for too long, I wanted a little change, so I cut it myself."
Upon hearing that I had cut my hair by myself, the two women had different reactions, with Lori surprised that I had achieved a good result on my own, and my mother surprised that she had used my head as a guinea pig to cut my hair for the first time
"Are you crazy? What could have happened to you? Did you cut yourself somewhere?" she said as she began to look for wounds on me.
"Mom, calm down, nothing happened to me, I watched a lot of videos before I tried, nothing bad happened to me, you know? there's nothing to worry about, okay?" I said in a calm tone of voice.
When he heard me talking like that, he surprisingly calmed down.
"I think it's okay then...." she said a little confused when she went back to cooking.
-------------------Rita Comment------------------
sitting in a chair in front of the camera with a lost expression on her face, rita didn't know what to say.
"I was worried about Lincoln, he's only 11 years old but he always has that expression on his face, like life isn't worth living, but the way he talked to me..." she paused, "I don't think I've ever seen my son speak so confidently.... he looked me in the eye!!!, he hasn't done that in years!"
when Rita realized that Lincoln was talking to her as he looked into her eyes while talking to her, she was surprised,
"Even though I was worried about him, just seeing him talk with confidence made me so happy, it means he's leaving behind whatever it was that had him so down," she said with enthusiasm,
for someone like her who was a perfectionist, a sense of security was very important, and the security Lincoln gave her in that moment was enough to turn her perfectionism off for a few minutes, and just make her happy.
Looking at the camera with a bit of embarrassment, Rita said quietly "I didn't say anything to him, but the more I looked at him, the more I thought the haircut suited him, I just couldn't say it and let on that I approve of such a rebellious style..."
--------------Comment End------------------
seeing how calm my mother became after my words, the one who was most surprised was Lori, who had never acted that way towards her before.
I could tell by the look she was giving me that she couldn't believe I had handled my mother so easily.
When I sat down at the table, she quickly came up to me and asked me quietly.
"how did you do that?"
knowing full well what she meant, I pretended not to know as I grabbed some eggs to eat, since the toast I ate with my dad had already digested after walking 10km "do what?"
Lori asked, looking at me in disbelief "How did you get him to accept your hair so easily? I was sure he was going to freak out on you for the next 30 minutes,"
putting aside my eggs I looked over at her, I smiled a little as I answered "Magic."
Hearing my answer, Lori was surprised for a few seconds, until she realized I was joking with her and became furious, she raised her fist a little, but seeing mom out of the corner of her eye she lowered it again and went back to make up not before giving me an angry look.
I didn't care and went back to eating.
-----------------------Lori Comment----------------------------
instead of the anger she was showing Lincoln at the moment, Lori had another slightly surprised expression in front of the camera "it's been so long since he's even talked to one of us, for a moment there I thought my brother was back"
----------------------Comment End-------------------------
when the rest of my sisters came downstairs, their shock was as great as my mother's, but in deference to her who, who was worried, my sisters were excited in different ways, some even went as far as asking me to cut their hair too, especially Luna, Lana and Leni since they liked to wear their hair short.
When my mother heard that, I could easily notice her concern on her face.
I knew another scene was coming in, so I tried to make up for it.
"I said it calmly and with concise information so that it was essential for someone with ADHD like Leni,
Fortunately, my mother didn't complain about me cutting their hair after hearing me say that she would be there when I did it.
It's a good thing cutting their hair helps me level up my skills faster.
When we all finished eating, my mother drove us to school in the family minivan, leaving the older kids first and going in descending order.
By the time I got out of the minivan my mood had already worsened noticeably, knowing what I was going to face at school.
Even though I didn't spend much time at school in my past life, I didn't miss it at all, I already attended college in my past life, and I was a good student, so I didn't feel much like repeating things I already knew.
Now at Lincoln's school, not only does she not have many friends, but her friends are awkward people who don't know how to talk properly, only talk about topics that I don't really care about, and probably hate each other behind their backs.
And to make matters worse, the 'bullies' at this school are still picking on him, who would have thought that kids could be so cruel.
I hope those kids don't show up in front of me to bother me, I won't keep my head down like Lincoln.
Although I always try to avoid conflict, I knew when I had to use my fists, and I know from experience that those bullies won't stop until I stand up for myself. I thought as I walked into the school leaving Lynn behind while she went to talk to her friends, and headed to my classroom.
my first class of the day was math, even though I don't like it too much, high school math was nothing compared to what I had to do in college, I thought as I walked into the classroom and sat down in a chair in the back row.
Since I had nothing to do since I was early, I decided to pick up my math book and try to learn something.
I was not surprised how easy it was all the equations that appeared in the book, I was just in high school, although I found little things I did not know, in just a few minutes, I could completely study the content explained in this chapter of the book, which caused a notification to appear in front of me.
[mathematics Lv26 (+17 levels)
effect:+26% easier to understand and apply mathematical concepts].
as soon as that notification appeared, I was amazed, I could feel how the speed at which I could learn mathematics almost multiplied
what I could do before I could now do 4 times faster!
Before I knew it, class had started and I was still focused on the system screen.
Despite my albinism, I was usually quite unnoticeable in class, as I hardly disturbed the class or participated in it, but perhaps because of my new cut my appearance stood out a little more than usual, and the teacher asked me
"Loud, can you tell me the result of this calculation on the board?" the professor asked me, trying to divert my attention from the comic book he probably thought I was reading.
Looking at the question on the board, if I trusted Lincoln's knowledge I would probably have a hard time, fortunately it was something I already knew even in my past life, so I pretended to think for a few seconds before answering.
"the result of X is 48, teacher" I said with a slightly disinterested once because I could learn more things from the book than from teacher in front of me, I wasn't putting him down, just that cheaters live differently.
When I heard that I answered so quickly, some voices laughed at me, but when the teacher confirmed that I was correct, they all fell silent.
with an intelligence of 15. where the average for a person is 10, which meant I was above average, if I wasn't the smartest in the class I could be sure I was in the top 3.
ignoring their comments, I went back to studying my books until a new notification popped up.
[+1 INT]
finally showed up just as the mathematics class.
