St. Michael's school, Hampstead Garden Suburb, London :
The noisy classroom quieted down as the teacher arrived. As the roll call is being made, one particular student is dozing off.
" John Martin ".
The teacher stopped as no acknowledgement of the student appeared even though he is just sitting in the second row. She turned her head to the boy who is dozing off. She narrowed her eyes and called loudly again," John Martin ".
But still no response, whispers and giggles started spreading through the classroom. The teacher's face darkned. How dare a student sleep in class? And that is too on last days of school. She angrily slammed her hand on John's desk which woke him up instantly with a flinch.
He looked at the big pair of angry eyes looking at him. He looked confused before a headache assaulted him. A drop of blood dropped from his nose as he lost consciousness. The teacher who is angry and going to scold the student is startled. She grabbed the boy who is going to fall and said," I'll take him to the school nurse. Meanwhile I expect each and everyone of you to behave. Because from tomorrow there will be your final exams. You better behave if you don't want to fail ".
She ran off while saying those words. As the nurse examined John, she said," there is nothing wrong with him. It's probably because he is physically weak compared to other children, maybe due to the sudden slam on his desk which scared him too much ", the teacher just nodded.
As John woke up, he felt memories. Memories of a life he seemed to have lived. With each memory his expression turned grave and with the addition of this life, it made things worse. His name is John Martin. He travelled to this world with a simple way. By participating in a game called Reincarnation paradise.
It began with advertisement paper that's on his desk. When he is returning from work, he saw the advertisement and thought it's a joke. But for fun, he opened the form and activated the three draws. One draw for an identity and background, one draw for the world and timeline he is going to travel and one for his cheat.
The draws he got are : Orphan, Harry Potter - 1991, Download System. A typical life for a reincarnator, Orphan with no advantages except complete freedom but many disadvantages. Since he has no background, this is equivalent to having no extravagent background. No wealth, no being popular or anything. He needs to live his own life.
The Harry Potter -1991 means the beginning of canon. And his system is download System. It allows him to download abilities, knowledge, spells and their proficiency, items etc., from the target. John blinked as all memories integrated into his mind. He groaned in pain due to the headache while Miss Laura, the teacher of their class said," take rest for today. Hand the matron this, she will not scold you ".
John looked at her and nodded. He is in primary school run by the same foundation that runs the orphanage. He took the paper slip and goes to the orphanage beside the school. As he handed the slip to the matron who is looking at him with a sharp gaze, her expression softened.
The next day when John attended the school for his final exam. This test is a child's play for him. But John is here not only for the exam but also for another purpose. He turned to a brown haired girl with brown eyes. Her hair is unkempt and looks like a bush. She looked cute with a nervous expression on her face as the teacher Laura brought the exam papers.
