Chapter 1 : Choosing an easy path

The small academy of Huin town seems to be injected with stimulus as the new batch of student unlike before were engaging in heated training.

Children shout and gasp could be heard throughout the small academy campus and at the centre of it all is a child with bright golden hair and clear blue eyes.

He was swinging his sword desperately, sweat soaking his clothes. The other children around the golden hair boy would look at him from time to time— they would grit their teeth and work more fiercely trying to match the boy rhythm who was training himself desperately.

All the freshmen of Huin small academy were working hard except one freshman.

Black eyes just look on indifferently from the window at the children who were rolling hard on the training ground.

"I don't want to train my body desperately"

The black hair child mumble, her tone rueful.

Yuna has transmigrated a month ago. She was perplexed and stunned at first and then came a bout of panic and lost, it took her a week to calm herself down and accept her situation.

When she first found herself in another world, Yuna like any other transmigrator used to do in a novel do a research on the world she found herself in.

'A fantasy world'

Yuna came to know that after reading a few history book of the world.

'An European ambience'

Yuna came to that conclusion after seeing the facial features of the people.

After sorting out and understanding the world she came to, Yuna who was still confused and muddled saw a child. Bright Golden hair, Blue eyes and the name Austin.

If she compare to all the information she read about the world as well as the small school and the town name Huin, Yuna came to a quick realization that she has transmigrated inside a novel.

<How to power up in another world>

Although it was not one of her favourite, Yuna still have a good impression of the novel.

Yuna have seriously contemplated whether to approach the protagonist and making friends with him, even revealing that they were fellow transmigrator and that he was a protagonist in the novel she read.

Ultimately, Yuna decided against it.

The protagonist have gone through way too many trials and she, Yuna who is an average Joe will not be able to survive if she were to be caught up in the many up and downs of the protagonist.

Austin, the protagonist of <How to power up in another world> also called Choi Min in his original world came from a world where dungeon break and monster ran rampant. He is experienced and has a great survival skill.

Yuna who was just an average university student who was reading dungeon break and other various fantasy novels in leisure and never experience the hardship of survival simply could not compare to him.

Even if she approached him, Yuna who does not have photographic memory, one where she can remember and never forget things once she came across will not be able to give him a future plot point.

Hell, reading too many novels really confuse one senses and when some novels are somewhat similar make it easier for readers to confuse one novel for the other.

Yuna decide to follow along her classmate at first and went with the flow because unlike other transmigrator, she does not have any lofty ambition and she knows her limit well, an ordinary person.

How can she has a goal so soon only after finding herself in another world? That's not scientific, at least, with her case.

But Yuna who plan on following the masses became quickly depressed when the students started to train themselves hard after being stimulated by Choi Min, a hardworking lad.

For an ordinary person who leans on the lazy side and even have the bad habit of procrastination, cleaning her apartment rarely and even used to stacking the dirty dishes and laundry and then clean in one heap after it became inconvenient to stack more, the life of studying hard and rolling aka training hard is just not for her.

She didn't even have the strength to do a simple exercise at home much less training.

The muscle cramps, death tired and exhausted— The life of those who work hard to be on the top is not suited for her.

She has to take bath everyday with a tired body when all she wants to do is flop in her bed and sleep because she was sweaty…

The life of the over achiever is not meant for Yuna.

So, after a week Yuna decisively stop following along her classmate and only fulfil the bare minimum of the school training.

Thankfully, even if she's sloppy and lazy, she is decisive and rarely wants to tangle herself up in indecision. Her decisiveness yet again also stem from her laziness. Indecision and tangle in the choices stressed her and tired her.

For most part, Yuna have a bad habit of 'devil may care' attitude which actually is her escape mechanism of having to deal with real life problem and be constantly in stressed.

'I'll just leisurely explore my ability on my own'

Yuna thought so.

She was curious anyway so exploring by herself could also entertain her in a world where there is no internet and mobile phones.

Hell, Yuna is a weak chicken and have a weak mentality that even if zombie apocalypse were to happen, she will just let the zombie bite her a small bit on her finger and then zombified herself early. It saves the trouble on always living in anxiety on how to procure food or stay safe from zombie. She don't want to commit suicide either because she is a lowly person and lowly thought 'what if I survive the zombie virus and is not zombified and then gain an ability to be invisible from zombie' and such loser imagination.

So, finding herself in another world, Yuna who don't want to train herself hard and work desperately choose an option of exploring her ability on her own and pave her own path leisurely.

If in the future, if she find her-self having no choice but to work hard, Yuna thoughtlessly leave such future trouble for her future self to deal with.

Yuna feel the elements that were floating around.

Her body awakened as an elementalist.

She awakened as an All round elementalist where she can control every elemental. Wood, fire, air, earth, water… you name it, those natural elements.

Although that does not mean that all elementalist is stronger than one type elementalist or two type elementalist. Everything is dependent on the person who wields the elements.

Yuna as a reader of various novels does not only limit herself to western fantasy, but she is also an avid reader of eastern fantasy like Xianxia, Wuxia and Tianxia.

Yuna sat under the tree after she finished her daily required training, not joining her classmate who were still training and rolling themselves hard.

"Children nowadays, so hardworking; Not comparable to us old people" Yuna lament without an ounce of shame when watching the children who were swinging their wooden weapon.

There exist warriors, sword-masters and cultivators in Tianxia and Xianxia genre. Those immortal cultivator things in Chinese novels.

"Let's imitate cultivators"

She was excited to try out and have a taste of what it feels like to also go through on what she used to read in a novel.

Yuna just does not have what it takes to desperately train like those immortal sword masters and warriors.

Even though she has no high and lofty ambition of becoming strong and be a powerhouse, trampling on anyone who dare go against her, Yuna a very ordinary person still wanted to be decent in strength.

At least, a means to protect herself.

Decently strong is enough, Yuna a self aware lad also knows that she will not be able to stand at the pinnacle of strength without hard work so her goal is only decently strong to protect herself.

"It will be a pity if I die even before I explore the fantasy world"

Yuna thought so.

Yuna sat herself in a lotus position, trying to enter that so called meditation state.

Not even a minute passed when Yuna bitterly open her eyes.

The noise around her was too much for her to concentrate ah..

The children Heave-ho, heave-ho, hah, hiah, huh, haah and the sweaty smell that lingers in the training ground really make it hard for Yuna to concentrate.

"Let's just wait for the class to end"

Sighing, Yuna just rest under the shade of the tree and entertain herself with the children who were training themselves.

Like it was said before, Yuna is a procrastinator.

"I'll just try it out at home, its more quite there"

And she came up with a valid, good excuse. All procrastinator are a master of excuses.
