3 Willingness to get stronger
Currently, I am stacking up paperwork in the student council room while my headset on with a banging song playing on my phone.
But I found something strange...
Below the table, a piece of paper was taped onto it? "Coffee blend ticket" was written on them.
"Eh?" Well, someone might've lost it like this...
Was it Miyuki-kaichou's? Certainly, he would keep some tickets lying around... Just as I placed my paperwork at Kaichou's desk, a voice can be heard from the door, "But a lot of people think that's the best way to kill time." That was my senpai, Kaguya Shinomiya.
Shinomiya-senpai is a second-year high school student at Shuchi'in Academy, a member of the Archery Club, and the Vice President of the 67th and 68th Student Council.
Shinomiya-senpai is a beautiful, fair-skinned young girl with long black hair that is usually tied by a black-red ribbon with bangs/hair strands hanging on either side, large, almond-shaped red eyes, thin eyebrows, and a slim, but feminine build, with a noticeably small chest. She also came from a wealthy and important family
There are rumors that She and Shirogane-Kaichou are dating, but after joining the club myself, I confirmed they are not. Well, yet. I figured it won't be long... maybe another year, one of them will confess.
"I don't really go to coffee shops. They're too expensive for my blood." The President sat down on the sofa as he stated that.
Shinomiya also sits down across from him, "If there was a coupon or something, it would be different."
I can see Shirogane Kaichou opening a newspaper whilst Shinomiya-senpai is... searching for something?
But then, her eyes landed on me who has the tickets in my hand.
Ah? so these are Shinomiya-senpai's tickets?
I see now, well I should give it to her-
Just as I was going to finish my thoughts...
I detect a bloodlust.
What... the heck?
That killing intent comes from Shinomiya-senpai herself.
Her eyes are scary...
She moves quickly and with a hand, she moves one of the headset pairs that are on my head, as now, the banging EDM music I listened to has been replaced by a sinister voice that comes up like a threat.
"Not a word to anyone about those tickets." Thus, She stated.
That's a threat.
That's a threat, right?
Her face is goddamn scary.

[Two days later]
There's only Shinomiya-senpai and me in the council room. Well, I came here to submit my handouts, but at least I should strike a conversation. I don't want here to think of me as a rude Kouhai right? (A/N: Kouhai means junior)
"Shinomiya senpai, are you in love with the president?"
In response to my carefree question. Shinomiya-senpai spits out a portion of the tea from her mouth.
"I-I-In love with the president? Don't talk nonsense! That would never happen!"
Your reaction says otherwise...
"You don't see him as a love interest?" Thus, I asked.
"No! Of course not."*Clank* *Clank**Clank* *Clank*
No no, I know that's a lie, at least try to stop shaking your teacup, senpai...
"Really?"(Ishigami)
"YES! In fact, rumors like that are a nuisance!"(Shinomiya-senpai)
Well, it's rare to see Shinomiya-senpai getting flustered like this so,
*Grin* "I see, then I'll give the president a hint that you have no romantic interest so he doesn't get the wrong idea..."Maa~ seeing her flustered is one thing, but I should probably go.
But just as I was about to turn back to face the door...
*GRAB*
Eh?
Shinomiya-senpai grabbed my back's collar?
And without a warning, she pulls me.
*SLAAAM*
Ouch. "YOU'LL TELL HIM NO SUCH THING! YOU HEAR ME!?"
Good deary, Shinomiya-senpai... Please don't get flustered when you're trying to kill someone...

≪『Pain Resistance』 has been acquired≫

Yeah, after escaping death from Shinomiya-Yandere-senpai, I feel pretty much weak compared to a petite girl who only repeats a simple arrow sniping movement at the archery club for 2 years.
So I decided to train.

The moment I leveled up 『Observation Lv0』, these notifications start appearing out of thin air.
Yes, it's the familiar translucent screen that looks like a game menu.
And so, I decided that I should finish the quest every morning.
After school, I would be practicing Chakra control and Magic Affinity instead.
But of course,
After a day of failing to complete this daily quest, which thankfully didn't send me to another world full of sands where giant scary centipedes are trying to kill me, I get a grip of it and complete everything the next day.
Thus,
DING*

Finally, I went to school after changing my clothes from my drenched tracksuit.
On my way to school...
I put some SP on 『Chakra Control』
__________
Name: Ishigami Yu
Race: Human
Lv: 2
HP: 25/25
MP: 3/3
CP: 10/1
SP: 1

Skills:
『Observation Lv1』
『Chakra Control Lv3』
『Mana Affinity Lv1』
『Sticky Thread Lv3』
.
Sticky Thread also went up a bit after I use them over and over till my room has basically transformed into a spider nest.
Well, I could change its consumption by MP and not my body parts, but my Magic Affinity isn't there yet.
But other than that,
*BZZT*
We have an unexpected development.
["Administrator Z" just joined the server]
Truly unexpected.
[Administrator Z: Yo! How is everyone doing!?] This new guy called Z playfully sends those messages.
They are also an "Admin"
How curious...
There was a pause before... [Administrator Z: Uwaaa~ what the hell is with these chats' history? Y! Weren't you supposed to be doing your job!?]
I don't even know you.
[Wise Grandson: Another Admin!?] Shin typed these words.
[Administrator Z: Deary- it seems like Y-kun is not doing his job properly. Sorry for that you guys~]
I never signed up for a job like this in the first place.
[Good Slime: As I thought, You admins may even be the creator of this device.] Rimuru stated this.
No, but, why are you guys even so fixated on this group.
[Pervy Sage: Then I assume you will give us some explanation right now?] Jiraiya asked through the chat.
Following that, this Z guy began explaining in a long paragraph.
[Administrator Z: Well, the purpose is not really important. For now, you should know to try not to hate each other. Also, call me Robby, hope we get along!]
Okay, maybe not too long.
The guy now dubbed "Robby" stated this.
Who is this guy?
Another 4th wall's reincarnator?
I don't think that's the case.
I'm just an orphan nobody trapped inside Ishigami Yu's body.
There were no memories of Ishigami Yu associating himself with this chat group either.
So the only hypothesis left is...
This Z guy is not an "Admin".
He may even be the creator himself.
Suddenly, Shin typed.
[Now that I remember, we don't even know Y-san's real name.]
[Good Slime: Ah, that's right!]
[Good Slime: We were just calling him "Admin-guy" Or "Y" This whole time.]
To this, Administrator Z dubbed "Robby" Now states.
[Administrator Z: Oi oi... @AdministratorY, do your job properly!]
I don't even know who you are!!
[Ishigami Yu.] Thus, I chatted
Not even going to bother to see their reactions.
*BZZZT* *BZZZT* *BZZZT* *BZZZT*
I Ignore their rants afterward.
Maa~ the class is about to start, so it'll be a good excuse for later.
.
.
.
[TALK SOME MORE GODDAMMIT!] (Shin)
[YU, DO YOUR JOB PROPERLY!!!] (Administrator Z)
≪Administrator Y is offline≫
[Is this guy for real...?]
.
.
.
DING*
≪A Group Quest has arrived.≫
≪Group Quest: Konoha crush!≫
Orochimaru, a missing-nin from Konoha who founded Otogakure, approached the Fourth Kazekage with the proposition of a joint invasion using the Chūnin Exams hosted in Konoha as a cover to attack!
≪Quest Condition: ≫
-Time in the ongoing Quest world will be accelerated.
-[0/1] Admin is allowed to join the Quest.
-Quest will start in 96 hours.
≪Success Condition: ≫
-(INCOMPLETE) Save Gekko Hayate's life [0/1]
-(ALTERNATE SEQUENCE) Prevent the Invasion from happening [0/1]
.
.
.
In a certain Shinobi world, "OROCHIMARU!" Jiraiya exclaimed this on the chair he was sitting on.
After running away from an onsen, Jiraiya stopped by a shop to have some sake. And of course, he pulls out the "smartphone".
[Good Slime: ...Basically, this group is created to solve everyone's problem.]
These words were stated by Rimuru the Good slime after a discussion about the chat group.
[Administrator Z: That's the gist of it, yeah.]
Jiraiya typed. [Pervy Sage: "Parallel dimensions" eh, well this is interesting at last.]
[Wise Grandson: Somehow I feel a bit excited. We'll get to meet each other soon!] (Shin)
[Administrator Z: By the way, we administrators can't actually join you guys. Only one admin can join the adventure if we were to join you guys! That's why, you know what to do, right? Hihihihihi~]
On that remark, a face of realization showed itself on Jiraiya's face.
[Good Slime: Let's drag that guy into this.]
[Wise Grandson: This is a good way for revenge.]
[Pervy Sage: Certainly.]
≪Administrator Y has got 3 votes to join the Group Quest.≫
≪Administrator Y has been selected to join the next Group Quest.≫
'Heh, that lazy guy would be surprised,' Jiraiya thought to himself.
.
.
.
≪Administrator Y has been selected to join the next Group Quest.≫
I received these messages right after school is over.
That Z guy... To say I'm irritated was an understatement.
Why is he acting as if he knows me?
Now that I think of it... Robby.
ROBBY...Rob... R.O.B...
....I see now. What a bad pun... Auth[Redacted] has a poor sense of humor. (A/N: Oi!)
Scenario One: I died, meet this Robby, get some wish or roulette, and transmigrated.
Scenario Two: I was a god who reincarnated himself, and unintentionally/intentionally lost his memories.
Scenario Three: The Robby guy is shittin' me.
(A/N: You guys know it has something to do with number two, but it'll take a different turn later, Persona 5 won't be in the story)
But that doesn't matter for now. I need to grow stronger for this shit.
Here's something I was wondering as I looked at everyone's skills.
Is "Magicules" The same as "Mana"?
The answer is, NO.
They're different types of energies.
Kenja no Mago's Magic is much simpler than Tensura's. "Mana" in Shin's world only needs a Chakra-Pathway-like control and Imagination.
Magicules are far more complex to manipulate, it is due to Humans cannot use Magicules freely as they are susceptible towards Magicule poisoning. Also because they cannot form an internal reserve for Magicules themselves.
While Chakra... they are more versatile. The downside is: that Chakra is unstable. Yes, If you're telling me Fuinjutsu is not versatile enough even though you only need a brush and paper, then I don't know what is.
Mana also has their "Magic enhancement" but you can't do that shit mid-fights aren't you? Since they directly "enhance" pieces of equipment instead of throwing papers on the battlefield.
Simply speaking, Magicules are far more stable than the two, ONLY if you're not a human.
Then what should I do?
Some skills I got from Rimuru have a trace of Magicules. If I were to "Rewrite" the concept of mana affinity, then I'll need a "core heart" just like all terrestrial life forms in Tensura.
Of course, my actual heart can be used for that.
*DING*
≪The skill 『Mana Affinity』 has been annihilated.≫
*DING*
≪The skill 『Magic Affinity』 has been acquired.≫
HP: 2004/28+ (Rising)
Mp: 2101/50+ (Rising)
Yeah, it kinda hurts a little.
But it's worth it, I guess.
HP: 2000/2010 *Stop*
Mp: 2102/2101 *Stop*
Conclusion: Don't worry about it. I doubt the majority of you even understood the whole concept of xianxia's cultivation other than "sitting down, eating some pills swoosh swoosh thunder, and becoming OP" anyway.
Yeah, Au[Redacted]or definitely have a poor sense of humor. (A/N: This little-)
Anyway!
After I learned how to utilize it, I think it's time to get even stronger.
≪Would you like to enter the dungeon: The Gamer's Zombie ID?≫
Yes.
.
.
.
The dungeon is simply a mirror world of our world, but with zombies in it.
≪You have defeated a Zombie.≫
≪You have leveled up!≫
Yeah, they basically look like a certain farm material from a certain manhwa.
Since that's the case then, *swoosh*
I copied the technique of a main character from The Gamer. He calls it Mana bolt at first, but when he finds out he could control his Mp, he spins the goddamn thing before landing them into the enemy to give additional damage.
Which then I thought... THE HELL, ISN'T THAT JUST RASENGAN??? (A/N: a one-way rotation one, that is.)
*BOOM*
≪You have defeated a Zombie.≫
≪You have defeated a Zombie.≫
≪You have leveled up!≫
Well, that was interesting at last.
≪You have defeated a Legion Zombie.≫
.
.
.
[A few hours later]
Hey, it's me, peter par- NOT!
It's me, your lovely shut-in, laying down on his apartment floor, drenched in sweat and green blood.
Good news, the "Skillshare" system is only available to me as the "admin's privilege".
Meaning: I could copy them without taking permission.
Now then,
*DING*
≪You have one message.≫
≪Dungeon has been cleared, Rewards have arrived:≫
- Sp ×10
- 1000 Exp
- Random box
*DING*
≪You have Leveled up!≫
Umu. Random box, how curious.
≪Would you like to open "Random Box"?≫ [Y/N]
Yes.
*DING*
≪You have one message.≫
≪Rewards have arrived:≫
-[Weapon] [S] The Harvester ×1
Harvester? what's that?
I open up the option called Inventory.
≪Would you like to equip Weapon: "The Harvester [S]?"≫ [Y/N]
Umu... Yes.
*DING*
≪Unique skill, 『Reaper』 has been acquired≫
...What?
As soon as clicked it, that notification came up and a light shines brightly in my hands.
And when it manifested as an object as soon as I gripped it...
"A dual scythe?"
This... is familiar. 『Observation』
*DING*
[The Harvester] [S]
-The Harvester is a shape-shifting weapon. It is able to take on many forms if the user wills it such as the main single scythe form, dual scythes, gauntlets, hammers, and more. The Harvester's "true form," or base form, is that of a giant scythe with skulls of the damned down the sides of the blade.
Weapon Skills: 『Shapeshifting』, 『Reaper』
If I were to remember this correctly... Ah, Darksiders 2.... this is the weapon of Death, the Nephilim.
