They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 513: The Greatest Motivational Song in Karaoke History!

That gave her sbreathing room.

Monday morning.

Carl insisted on driving Nnenna to school, and no one objected. After all, she was about to write exams based on

everything he had spent the past 6 months teaching her. If there was anything else he could slip into her mind

before they arrived at the academy, it was worth the ride.

...Wishful thinking.

Instead of a serious last minute revision or lecture, Carl did something way better.

He hooked up his playlist, grinned, and tapped play.

A cheerful instrumental started, bright ukulele strumming, a bouncy rhythm, and the unmistakable tic

flare of a karaoke classic loading up. No vocals, just music.

Carl immediately sat up straighter. "Get ready. This is it."

"What is it?" Nnenna asked suspiciously.

He pointed at her like a gshow host. "The greatest motivational song in karaoke history."

Then, before she could stop him, he started singing.

0 "Life is a sandwich—bite it with pride!" [J

0 "Put on your crown and ketchup your stride!" []

Nnenna choked on air. "Wait, what?!"

If the others found out what Carl was actually doing, instead of helping her revise like they had all agreed to,

they would probably be lining up to smack him one by one.

They had respectfully given the two of them privacy, thinking he was cramming last minute formulas into her

brain. If only they knew he was busy playing DJ) and singing off key like it was a road trip.

But Carl was in full performance mode. Eyes closed, voice cracking with passion.

0 "You're the queen of your test, the toast of the land—

Sharpen your pencil and take a stand!" [J

"Carl, please stop, this is a cragainst music!"

"Oh no, we're doing this together."

Before she could protest, he tossed her an invisible mic.

She groaned but joined in anyway, grinning as she added

0 "If you trip, then land like a queen—

Make your mistakes in sparkly green!" [J

Both of them were off key. Carl hit tic high notes like he was on stage. Nnenna tried to harmonize, failed

miserably, and laughed so hard she snorted.

They sang through the whole thing, barely holding it together as the chorus hit

0 "Ketchup your stride! Mustard your might!

Ace every paper—shine super bright!" [J

"Carl, this is the worst song ever."

"It's incredible and you know it."

By the tthey reached the Royal Academy gates, Nnenna had tears in her eyes, but from laughter. Her heart

felt lighter, her nerves calmer. The weight of everything else? Forgotten.

Carl parked and turned down the music, his voice suddenly soft.

"Hey."

She looked at him.

"No matter what happens in there today," he said, "you've already made us proud. You've worked hard, you're

ready... and you're gonna do amazing."

Then, with a wink

"And if things get tough, just remember my beautiful voice singing about sandwich royalty."

Nnenna laughed again. "That's going to hauntforever."

"Good. Now go rule the exam hall, Queen of Sparkly Green."

"I will," she smiled, opening the door.

Carl started to unbuckle. "Wantto walk you in?"

But Nnenna stepped out confidently. "No need. I've got this."

Carl nodded, pride glowing in his eyes. "Go shine."

As she walked toward the building, he whispered to himself,

"Crown on, kiddo."

And behind him, from the speakers, the karaoke track faded out with a tic drum roll and confetti sound

effect that someone definitely added for no reason.

The path to the Year 3 Medicine and Surgery exam hall was completely unfamiliar.

Nnenna glanced around the vast academic wing, her nerves creeping in again.

Maybe | should have let Carl walkhere after all...

She clutched her bag tighter and quickened her pace, heart pounding as she turned down hallway after hallway.

After asking for directions twice, and nearly walking into the wrong building, she finally spotted the tall double

doors ahead marked:

"Year 3 - Medicine & Surgery - EXAM HALL A."

Thank God...

She hurried toward it, relief washing over her. But just as she reached the entrance, a hard shove from behind

nearly knocked her off balance.

"Move over!" a sharp voice snapped. "You don’t even know how to make way for your seniors, even when you're

standing on our territory."

Nnenna blinked.

Excuse me?

She turned, her brows furrowed in disbelief. Did someone seriously just say that out loud in an academy?

Then her gaze met the smug face of the speaker.

Stephanie.

Oh. Of course.

Behind her, looking just as smug, but

more silently so, stood Nicholas. The

Right...

Now she remembered. Arthur had mentioned once that Stephanie and Nicholas were in Year 3 Medicine and

Surgery.

So this was their "territory."

She almost laughed.

Instead, Nnenna stepped aside calmly.

"My bad. | forgot this hallway was registered under your name," she said, tone flat and unimpressed.

Nnenna had no intention of starting a scene, especially not right before an exam.

She took a quiet breath, sidestepped the first entrance, and moved toward the second row of doors.

But before she could reach them, another figure stepped into her path.

Nicholas.

He smirked down at her, arms folded.

"Where do you think you're going?" he said coldly.

"This is a Year 3 exam hall. Not for confused little Year 1s who can’t read signs."

His voice was loud enough to turn heads.

No one said a word.

They didn’t recognize the girl, so most assumed she was lost.

But while none of them stepped in, not a single person looked like they supported Nicholas’s attitude.
