School x monologue

'I forgot the pain of being amongst complete toddlers in school.

When my parents asked me if I wanted to go to school, I immediately agreed as I wished to leave the hell called kindergarten.

They rejoiced, but now, as I went to school, I noticed that it got barely better.

It was noisy as hell and the only reason I could relax is that I made these sound canceling headphones, so nobody could interrupt me.

My homeroom teacher tried to confiscate these, but every time she tried to take them away, I dodged and her threats of calling my parents and putting bad grades in my semester didn't help.

Later she stopped, seeing as I only got the top grades in everything and then she asked me to look like a model student, but I refused, even if she offered to buy me candy or whatever else as a bunch of brats complained that I cheated.

She tried to calm everyone down and all it ended in was me being completely isolated, I'm happy with the result, though my classmates started to bully me by throwing trash at me and so on.

Do you know how I deal with this?

In the middle of the class, I beat up all my bullies and cursed at them like a competent sailor would.

This led me to get punished, thus I had to stay at home for 2 weeks and 'think about my mistakes', but this went all according to the keikaku.

Just before the start of school, me and my dad made this plan: I get top grades while acting like I didn't even study, then I got the other kids railed up so that they would start bullying me and then I beat them up.

This ended up with a lot of annoying talking, but my dad dealt with it as then we could train and I can do my things more.

As I had gotten decent at cooking, my parents could afford to leave me alone, so I practiced rune writing by writing runes that I know

But I'm still not getting the skill as, according to the system, 'I don't know enough runes, so unless I perfect the ones I know now, I won't get 'Rune Inscription'.

I didn't want to spend money, as I believed that perfecting a rune was easy, but even after 7 months of practice, I can't seem to even get close to perfection, but even crawling is better than standing in place.'

"Kids, go to your places, the lesson is starting!"

Oh, the lesson started, this time it's math, I can ignore this, elementary-school math is too easy.

As I was saying, mastering runes takes time, let's not talk about perfecting.

Before regression, there were only 100 people in history, who managed to perfecto more than 10 runes.

I thought that this was due to the fact that the average competent rune master was proficient in at least 700 runes, let's not talk about the true geniuses, prodigies and the incompetent.

Those were a different matter altogether.

So, I thought that because they needed to divide it amongst a lot of runes, so they didn't have time to master or perfect runes properly.'

"MARK"

"What is it?"

"Since you are about to sleep, go solve this before sleep."

"Sure"

I went to the board and see an equation

2b(2a*3b)(5c*4)2

"A is 0.6, b is 0.7, c is 0.2, now solve it, I'm sure it will be simple.

"Ok, gimme a few minutes."

'This isn't hard, but isn't easy. I'm sure she is pissed of that I'm not paying attention to her class, so now she wants me to make a fool out of myself.

First, I need to multiply the brackets from each other and square the result, then multiply it by 8b and then in the final result, I must replace the letters with the right number and finish the math, simple right.

Yes, it is, I'm lying, the first 2 steps are what make it difficult.

The simplified version is 4800b2ac2

 And after putting in the right numbers, the answer ends up to 28.224

Easy, right?

"Teacher, I solved it, now I'm going back to my desk, since I solved it correctly, let me sleep.

I'm already on the level of calculus after starting to teach myself due to having the wish to teach myself "Scientific Manipulation".

If I didn't manage to solve this in my head, I would be a fool.'

"Th-, this, this is correct, you're free to go back to your desk."

"This is 7th grade stuff, teacher, I officially have the right to file a complaint against you for abuse of authority."

*Sigh* "Why aren't you skipping grades then?"

"Because I don't like unnecessary attention, I'm an introvert for a reason."

"Do what you wish, thanks to you my pay has increased, so now all I need to do is make sure you're attending class and paying attention to them."

"I'm not sure you're supposed to talk about this in class."

"You're still a brat, there's no way you understood what I'm saying."

"All I know is that trash collectors are getting paid more than teachers."

"You just gave me an urge to give you a T."

'Ah, being considered a genius is so nice at times.'

'Getting back to my monologue, there are hundreds of good rune languages and there are billions of runes, old rune masters now millions of runes and thanks to them rune masters are considered a good class.'

'Rune master, as the name implies, is a class that allows you to utilize runes the best.'

'There are it's variant, some better, some worse, though rune master isn't a class I want to get, but it's variant, Runic Blacksmith.'

'Runes are OP as fuck if utilized properly and as long as runes are considered a part of blacksmithing, I won't need a talent for them to used them like someone with an intermediate talent level.'

'Though, then I will only be able to utilize runes that well only when blacksmithing, though I know a place that could grand an advanced talent that is related to magic, so I'm hoping the first to get that, I'm lucky that it is the closest artefact to my home.'

'In fact, it is in my home country.'

'I know we will go to a trip around our country at the start of summer holiday, so I convinced my parents let us go to the cave that the artefact is hidden in, luckily, the cave is a popular tourist attraction, so it was easy to convince them.'

'It is a consumable that is hidden in a ring, a small, slightly glowing, blue stone'

'So I have one of the 5 artefacts that I wish to get packed in my bag.'

'One of the artefacts I wish is a consumable that will grant me a skill called 'Enlightenment' that will increase my comprehension rate by 50 times for whatever thing I wish to comprehend until I comprehend it.'

'The price is whatever I decide to be, that's a quarter of the reason why I'm saving my stat point.'

'My other reasons is that I can't use them now, if I use them now, they will make it harder for me to earn stats manually and that a sudden increase in strength is always suspicious in a non-magic world.'

'The other artefacts....
