My past self looked at me in admiration. She stared at my appearance without saying a single word for the past few minutes. I smiled as I let her stare at me a bit longer. It was a time where I was still adjusting to how beautiful everyone in this district was.

"Are you a human being?" She asked.

"I am and I'm here to guide your future."

"You mean you can tell me how to get back to the third district?"

Of course my past self had to ask the hardest questions. The thing I wanted the most at that time was to escape the hell-like school. I still had the same goal, but it was increasingly getting out of my reach with every passing year.

"I can't, but I can help make your life easier here," I hoped I didn't disappoint her too much.

"Let's start off with your partner, how much do you know about Luke?"

"The person who tries to make me study all the time…"

"Is that all?" I worried for my past self.

She nodded. I sighed since it was going to be a long day. How could I break the news to her that Luke wasn't only her study partner, but something more? I could tell she still admired Luke for his angelic appearance.

Luke was smart back then as well. Using the most alluring desserts to bribe me into listening into his every command. At some point, letting him make all the decisions became natural as I listened to him like my second mother.

"First of all, you need to know that the first district is a cruel place. There are many things not seen to the eye other than studying such as the politics here."

"Isn't this just a school?"

"A school where the elites attend is different. Things are different from your former life."

"You know that I reincarnated?" She gasped and stumbled a few steps back.

Well, there wasn't anyone who knew I reincarnated but myself. Even if I told someone, I don't think anyone would believe me. Everyone was smart since childhood that I didn't stand out.

"I also know how you would do anything to have a slice of pizza or box of french fries," I dreamed of those snacks.

"I couldn't find them anywhere!"

My past self would never find them for at least eight more years. Even I never had a taste of them. I licked my lips as I planned to call in Luke's promise soon. Although a bag of ch.i.p.s was good, it couldn't compare to the oil dripping down from the greasy cheese from a single slice.

"It's because they don't exist in the first district," I sighed.

"No way," Her eyes widened.

"They only exist in the third district."

My past self looked like she was going to cry from the news. Pizza was one of my favourite foods. This was the time where I had to warn her to prevent Luke from controlling what she could eat and where she could go.

I knew that I had more freedom during this period than right now. Since the partner system started at the age of four, Luke and I had only been together for a few months. All that Luke expected of me back then was to gain more points with him.

"You should try to visit your parents before you get too busy. If you're having trouble surviving the school system now, it'll get worse later on," I advised her.

"But I have to study with Luke to get out of that terrible room," she frowned.

Oh right. That medieval-like room I used at the beginning of kindergarten. This was indeed a problem. I remembered I did anything back then to move into a better room.

"But is studying important or your future freedom?" I told her the tradeoff.

"My future freedom?" She tilted her head.

"Are you willing to be stuck inside the school for your entire life?" I explained.

"When I graduate, won't I be able to leave?" She still appeared confused.

"You're going to get engaged to Luke and his family will try to control your life afterwards," I blurted.

"Sorry, I couldn't hear you. What did you just say?"

"You're going to get engaged to Luke and his family will try to control your life afterwards."

"I can only see your mouth moving, but I can't hear anything,"

Of course there were restrictions in using this spell. It seemed I couldn't tell her anything about what exactly was going to happen in the future. But there were plenty of other things I could still warn her other than giving hints about the future.

My ears perked as I heard Luke coming to deliver my meal. He made sure I ate every meal from delivering them personally. I knew I didn't have much time left to talk to her. I had to leave some kind of warning message.

"No matter what, don't feel pressured to the people around you. You should always stick to what you believe in no matter who questions you," I told her my motto.

"There will be someone who will constantly pressure you to change, he will nag you for almost everything. But you have the choice in whether to accept them or not," I had to cut the connection.

My past self seemed to bang on the other side with her fists, watching me fade away from her. But I waved good-bye as the great presence of mana in the room had disappeared before Luke opened the door.

"What's going on?" He narrowed his eyes.
