Chapter 4-Another Day
After a while, the door opened, and the girl with glasses opened the door, before looking Nivril up and down as if a bit in doubt of his very presence there at all.
(This guy, he actually came… that's odd, I hope this doesn't turn out bad.) She thought to herself as she looked at him.
"Oh… You're here… Hum… Come in." Unlike before, she didn't look hostile towards him, just a bit surprised.
"I mean, you did invite me, unless you're already back on it, or did I misunderstand something?" Nivril replied a bit of a smile on his face as he did so.
"Just don't be weird, and I'll tolerate you. For my friend, not for you." She added as she rolled her eyes at his response.
The room in question was very similar to his own in structure and size, the difference being the decorum, as this one had a bunch of K-pop posters on the walls, a collection of plushies evenly spread around aesthetically, and a lighter tone with white together with yellow.
It looked cozy and lived in, a bit different from Nivril's slightly more stale-toned room.
Sitting next to a small coffee table next to the bed, was the silver-haired girl from before, as the girl with glasses and Nivril following behind walked to her.
"Hi!" The Silver-haired girl waved at Jibril with a bit of a warm smile, as she held a notebook in her hands.
On the coffee table, a bunch of books and an open notebook could be found. Under closer inspection, it's clear the notebook belongs to the girl with glasses. The writing in it was flowy and round, quite aesthetically pleasing.
"Yo. Thank you for inviting me here. It will be nice to have someone to compare my understanding of things to." Nivril said sincerely as he was not as academically gifted as this timeline's counterpart of him. As tests were nearing in, he would likely fall behind on test scores, and there was the danger of losing his scholarship which would be problematic.
"Really?… That better not be sarcasm! I know you're a full scholarship student! You don't just get that, you're clearly a straight A student." She continued to roll her eyes, and even crossed her arms, before sighing and saying. "You're still welcome anyway, though." A slight blush on her face as she did.
"Well, let's just say I wasn't really me when I studying for this scholarship, so now I need to work real hard to keep up with that standard." Nivril expressed not bothered by her comments, after all, they made some sense from her perspective.
"…. I get that… Sometimes you just put so much into studying that you kind of lose sight of everything else... I mean, why am I even doing this?… the answer is obvious but it doesn't feel like it." The Girl with glasses sighed again as she had a bit of a somber look on her face.
"Well! That's too much, so let's use the advantage we have and share that burden." Nivril smiled as he said.
"Yeah… Let's do that. I'm Peris by the way and that's Nevi, it's nice to meet you." The Girl with glasses smiled back and then introduced herself.
"The name's Nivril, it's my pleasure." He said.
They both sat down and the three of them started an actual group study season even if it would occasionally just fall into being a completely unrelated conversation.
"Come on, you can't possibly actually believe that Last Fiction X is better than Last Fiction VII?! You're clearly joking." Peris responded.
"I'm just saying. The nostalgia in your brain has clouded your judgment." He replied insisting on his take.
"Nevi, please tell this guy he's crazy." Peris looked at her friend for support.
"I honestly like Last Fiction VI better." Nevi expressed supporting neither of the two.
"Really?… How did I find two nerds like you?" Nivril wondered surprised to see both of them into something that for him would be seen as a niche game. Though that was not necessarily the case, he had never met anyone who liked it in person.
"Who are you calling a nerd?! I'm very popular I'll have you know! Jerks like you are always trying to get my number." Peris glared at Nivril as she said so.
"It's more like we found you, but I guess you're not entirely wrong." Nevi on the other hand giggled, seemingly not bothered by his comment at all.
"I guess everyone has their own tastes." Nivril clearly teased Peris with a backhanded comment.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Peris fell right for it.
"He's playing with you, I wouldn't answer if I were you." Nevi warned lightly shaking her head at the two's interaction.
"I don't know, think that if someone wants to settle for something it's up to them whether to go for it or not." Nivril shrugged his shoulders as he said.
"Listen here you pompous prick! I'm actually pursued by many of the most handsome and popular guys in not only my school but many others in the district! Just because you're blind to real beauty it's not my fault!" This caused Peris to explode into a mini-rant.
Both Nivril and Nevis looked at each other before laughing it off.
The discussion continued from there and eventually, Nevi convinced the other two to go back to studying.
In the end, they got some studying done, but not all that much.
Once it was all said and done, Nivril went back to his dorm room and lay in bed, where he began thinking of his day and about how fun it was overall to have some more people around.
"It's nice… I hope my harem grows to be something like that… a sort of family I guess would be nice. Man, I really need to get some friends… hum…
"I wonder how things ended for Sasha… Well, it was all my fault just like with Dramil, but that's all far gone. Time to focus on this life and how to make the best of it." Nivril found himself thinking of the future, only to end up on the other side, reminiscing about a long-gone past.
That was about where it stopped and when the sleep got to him, as Nivril fell asleep, hopeful of what was to come, another day came to an end.
-Day 8/Monday; 3 A.M.-
Thus a new day began. The alarm went off and the system notification could be found right in front of him.

"Nightmare... It seems the easy days are over." Nivril could only smile weakly seeing the changes.
Even so, he was committed to this path and began exercising. The whole process was extremely hard once he got passed the level to which he was already used.
Things got bad but Nivril was no longer the person he was when he first started, even though only 7 days passed since he started exercising, due to the effects of the quest rewards the growth he experienced was far beyond that.
To him, even if this was a horrible time, it was not something that could ever break him, even if the level of strength he has should not allow for him to do this so well, his will did not bend a single bit. He would do it, and that was that.
So he did.
When he had gotten through most of the things and only the 60 km run was left, he went outside as he had done all the other days.
While carrying the 1 liter plastic cup with water, he did something that would not be so easily done by anyone who stood at the level he currently did.
As he got a bit more than halfway through, he turned around to run back.
After he was done with most of it, he came across the girl from last Tuesday, the same one who had given him water when he was a beginner struggling.
"Oh, it's you." He stopped and let those words out subconsciously.
"Ah… What?" The girl stopped as he was kind of on her way, then took a few steps back.
"You probably don't recognize me since I changed a lot, but I'm the guy from last Tuesday... The one who was struggling to breathe and you got me water…" Nivril explained with a weak smile as he realized she was obviously scared.
(What is this guy talking about? Am I still going to get mugged in the better part of town?… no, this might be so much worse than that… Wait… wasn't there an old man I helped last Tuesday? No! It can't be… how does this guy know about that? Has he been stalking me?) The girl could not help but come to a conclusion as she thought of the situation.
"I don't know you and I don't know what you are talking about…" She played stupid.
"Ok, this is not working, just stay safe, I guess." Nivril seeing that this was not about to end well, just ran past her and continued his routine.
The girl flinched as he came, but opened her eyes confused once she noticed he went past her and just left.
"What was that about?… Was it really the same person? Could that be?… No, it makes no sense, I was just lucky… let's finish this quick and get back to the mud, at least there the thugs and creeps won't bother me." She said to herself and then went on with her own exercise routine.
[The Quest 7: Rise Up To The Occasion 4(Daily) has been completed within the time frame limit. The rewards can now be collected, would you like to have them now?]
[[Yes] Or [No]]
Soon after that, Nivril reached the dorm room.
[Report. You have acquired 80 OLP, Body Fortification Burger(extra protein!), Lineage Solidification Protein Powder Bag(extra protein!), and Cup with water(No extra protein).
Note: It is recommended that you consume the items near the bathroom or even inside it, naked.]
Just like the days before, he collected the reward, got naked, and went to the bathroom.
After that, he got through the whole process cleaned up, and then opened his status screen.

"Good, that's some nice growth for the books." Nivril smiled looking at how far he got from where he started.
From there, he got his bag and went to school, just like the money before this one, it was teacher Shaila's English lesson. There was shock on her face once she saw Nivril again.
(Gosh… He's becoming a bit handsome, isn't he? It's a bit hard to just look at him just as a student when he looks a bit older than me… This just should give me free therapy at this point because this is not fair on my mind.) She bit her lower lip for a second then shook her head and went back to teacher mode.
"You just keep getting closer to beating this once and for all. I'm sorry you'll never have to worry about this stupid condition in a week or two from now." Shaila commented cheering him on.
"Thanks, tech, you're making this lesson too easy with that spirit." Nivril smiled happy to have this even if it didn't mean too much on the end.
The lesson came to an end, and just as Nivril was making his way to the next lesson, he was stopped by five girls, a really short girl with silver hair and a pompous expression, and her trope right behind her, and on her neck necklace holding a silver lion head with Sapphire eyes.
"Hum… Can I help you?" He asked looking at them not really interested in the slightest.
"So, I heard you're the new cultivator. I'm sure you know of my greatness, and as such I award you with the honor of the chance to prove you can be my right hand here in school.
"I've been looking for a good dog for a while, but all the mortals just weren't fit for it, so it's a bit of a relief to finally have a cultivator on the table." She proudly and very confidently spoke to him as she explained her intentions.
"On the table? Aren't we the only cultivators here?" Nivril questioned after ignoring her attitude.
"The only ones? What Mortal idiot fed you those lies? If you really believe that, you might be more incompetent than I initially thought." She replied laughing at his words.
"I guess not then… Anyway, I'm not interested in working with or for you. Have a nice day, I guess." Nivril just walked past them and didn't bother waiting for anything.
"Hmph! Simpleton! You'll regret that foolish behavior soon, you'll see. Anyway, let's go. I've wasted enough time." The girl and her group left.
This day still had something on hold for Nivril.
