The world’s luckiest man has just landed in the Gamut classroom and no this is not an exaggeration. Freshman Noah Son had almost died not once but twice while on the snowy slopes (dangling off a ski lift while snowboarding and crashing into a cabin while skiing) but somehow walked away with only a few bruises. His current existence is a wonder but also is his Grow a Garden stats, his recording being a horned dino shroom with a total of 36 mutations (disco, meteoric, harmonised foxfire chakra, voidtouched, galactic, touchdown, the list goes on…). When not defying odds, Noah loves reading (recently picked up the Hunger Games), playing Valorant, traveling for food (ask about his Japanese wagyu bowl), and consuming a concerning amount of Thai tea. With a smile that’ll possibly add ten more years of luck, Noah’s ready to enter the world of journalism and make it even more extraordinary.
