Chapter 1: Transmigrated with Mommy
The annoying, screech like voice of Ms. Mia filled the air, each taunt a sharpened knife aimed squarely at Vritra's countless flaws.
Sunlight streamed through the classroom window, illuminating dust particles dancing in the air, a stark contrast to the oppressive atmosphere that had settled over the classroom.
Vritra slumped in his chair. His long deep black hair, falling like a curtain over his forehead, obscuring his left eye appearing a bit messy. He wore slightly baggy clothes that made him look skinny and weak though that couldn't have been anymore wrong.
The other students, a loud and restless bunch, blended into the background—a mix of chatter and judgment. He didn't look their way. He already knew what they were whispering.
Ms. Mia, his teacher, stood at the front of the class, her old face appearing full of fury. Her black hair was perfectly and neatly styled despite that her choice of cloth ruined her already bad appearance.
Her glasses were resting on her nose, occasionally slipping as she gestured emphatically.
She was in her late fifties and the wrinkles didn't do much to make her look any younger, yet despite being quite fit for someone her age, she was famous for her irritating behaviour and thin voice.
Ms. Mia's grating voice reverberated across the class as she shouted: "Vritra," she began, her eyes fixed on the youth who sat on his seat as if nothing around him actually mattered.
"His performance in this class has been very disappointing as if he himself doesn't want to score better. He never submits any assignments, his participation is minimal to none, and his grades... well, let's just say he passes all his subjects by merely a single mark."
A chorus of snickers rippled through the classroom. Vritra could feel all the eyes in the class focussing on him. He ignored them all only looking back at the woman standing beside his old teacher.
"You're not living up to your potential. All his answers are correct but he never writes more than he needs to pass!!" Ms. Mia continued, her gaze unwavering.
