Noah sat comfortably in the last row. From there, he could see the entire classroom without any problem.
'Interesting.'
Soon, his eyes landed on the person sitting in the front row on the right side.
A man with blond hair.
He was over six feet tall, with a broad and muscular build. The academy uniform fit him perfectly, accentuating his well-built physique. His skin was tanned, and his eyes were hazel.
Noah narrowed his eyes slightly.
'That guy...'
Memories surfaced in his mind.
Before transmigrating into this game world, Noah—or rather, Aron—had only seen the character list and their basic descriptions.
That blond-haired young man was Leonard Valtier, one of the main supporting characters of the story.
Leonard was known for wielding a greatsword—an enormous blade that required immense strength and stamina to use. In the game, he was portrayed as the "shield of the protagonist," a frontline powerhouse who overwhelmed enemies with raw strength and unshakable defense.
He belonged to a noble family renowned for producing knights for generations.
'A tank-type fighter... loyal, straightforward, and strong,' Noah recalled silently.
Leonard was the kind of person who valued honor and strength above everything else.
Noah calmly shifted his gaze away.
If Leonard was here...
Then the other important characters should also be nearby.
His eyes wandered across the classroom once more until they paused at another corner.
There.
A girl sitting by the window.
Long, flowing violet hair cascaded down her back like silk. Under the sunlight streaming through the glass, it shimmered faintly. Her golden eyes were calm yet sharp as they quietly observed the classroom. Her facial features were delicate, almost unreal.
She was beautiful.
No she was breathtaking.
Her figure leaned toward the voluptuous side, but Noah decided not to focus on it.
Yeah.
He wasn't some lustful man!
Even compared to noble daughters known for their elegance and refinement, her beauty stood on equal footing with them, if not above them.
'So she's here too...'
Her name was Arisha Willow.
One of the female leads of the game.
Unlike many prominent students in the academy, Arisha did not come from a noble background. She was born into an ordinary family—commoners with neither political power nor a prestigious lineage.
And yet, through sheer talent and hard work, she had earned her place here.
Unlike Noah, who had entered because of his family name, she had earned admission purely through her talent by passing the entrance examination.
According to the game's character description, she was known for her exceptional affinity for magic, especially elemental control.
Her growth potential was monstrous. A commoner with overwhelming talent.
Noah leaned back slightly in his chair.
'A main supporting character... a female lead...'
It seemed he had truly stepped into the heart of the story.
And this was only the first day. Just then, someone else entered the classroom.
Two girls walked in together.
Noah's eyes widened once again at the sight of two more beautiful women.
'They are... also important characters.'
Both of them were female leads of the game.
"This is our classroom. It's so big and amazing!" one of them said cheerfully.
A bright smile had been on her face ever since she entered the room. Her long dark brown hair was tied into a single braid that rested over her right shoulder. Her blue eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Hey, Emma! Wait for me," another girl called as she followed behind.
She was tall, around 176 centimeters. Her long golden-blond hair flowed freely down her back. Her soft pink eyes were enchanting. Her face was exceptionally beautiful.
Below her face were two perfectly shaped heavy mounds—
No!
Noah shook his head, trying to push away his inappropriate thoughts.
'Damn! Most of the women here look normal! But why do the main female characters have figures like that? It seems the creator of this game really liked big things.' Noah came to that conclusion.
"Oh, come on, Lyria! I was just too excited for my first day at the academy. Haha!" Emma said with the same cheerful smile.
Her name was Lyria Sunweave.
Noah considered Emma to be the playful and mischievous character of the game.
'This is serious. I can't even tell who's the most beautiful among the main cast. Compared to the other female students in the class, the main female leads are far more attractive. The same goes for the male characters.' he thought.
It was true that Lyria attracted Noah more than Emma.
But that was only natural for a young man like him.
He was just an ordinary guy.
Seeing so many beautiful women—far more than he had seen in his previous world—it was only natural for him to glance at them from time to time.
The two girls soon walked toward the front row and took their seats there.
Choosing to be front benchers.
Just as Noah was enjoying the view of the classroom, which looked slightly different from his university back on Earth, he suddenly felt a cold stare from somewhere.
Noah frowned.
A chill ran down his spine.
The atmosphere around him suddenly felt heavier, as though the temperature had dropped by several degrees.
He slowly turned toward the direction from which he felt someone trying to bore a hole through him with their gaze.
Then he saw her. Dark midnight-blue hair flowed freely down to her waist.
Her eyes were emerald green, like a deep forest. Her name was Ophelia Thornveil.
Noah stiffened the moment their eyes met.
His heartbeat skipped.
Fragments of old memories surged violently through his mind. Images that weren't his own, yet belonged to this body. The humiliation. The scandal. The accusation.
She was none other than his ex-fiancée.
The daughter of Duke Thornveil.
The very woman whom the previous Noah had tried to assault—and because of whom he had been exiled from the family.
'Shit!'
Noah cursed inwardly as he looked at her.
For a brief moment, he felt as though those emerald eyes could slice him apart.
There was no warmth in them.
Only coldness.
Only hatred.
It was suffocating.
He was truly shocked by his luck. For her to be in the same class as him...
When Aron had first seen Leonard, he had already understood that he might end up in the same class as the main characters.
But he hadn't been too surprised.
It was a common trope in most novels.
'Fuck! How could I forget about her? She's also a supporting character.'
One of the biggest reasons Noah had downloaded the game Odyssey of Eternal Gods' War was because it featured romance and a harem.
Although he remembered seeing Ophelia on the character list, she wasn't one of the female leads.
She was a supporting character.
Still, there had always been a route for side characters.
Noah had to admit that the previous Noah had been one hell of a lucky bastard.
Parents who let him enjoy their wealth.
He didn't even have to worry about becoming the next head of the family, since he had an older brother who was already the heir.
Noah had been free to enjoy a luxurious life.
And on top of that he had a beautiful fiancée like Ophelia.
'Now I'm just too much angry on this bastard! Why the hell did he even try to assault her? That horny idiot!'
If that guy had simply been a decent human being, then the current Noah would have been fortunate.
Instead he now had to deal with the consequences of everything the previous Noah had done.
Ophelia stared at Noah with cold eyes filled with hatred for a while before turning her attention back to the front.
'Hah... I'm cooked... Oh, right. There was also another supporting character who was like the protagonist's rival—or at least considered the protagonist his rival. If I remember correctly, his name was Kaelan Nightfall.'
It didn't take Noah long to push those unpleasant thoughts aside.
'Well, whatever. I really don't want to think about them anymore. I should relax a little before class starts.'
Noah took out a packet of roasted peanuts from his storage ring.
He tore it open and placed it beneath the desk, where there was a small shelf-like compartment. He picked up a few peanuts and popped them into his mouth.
Crunch!
They had a mildly sweet taste with a rich roasted flavor.
