~Arc 4 The Level Idiot and the Protagonist of the Academy~
[The Level Idiot’s First Attendance]
May.
Around the time when the entrance ceremony and orientation are over, and the grouping within the class is almost settled.
I am fully prepared, or rather, I finally decide to go to the academy for the first time.
“I have never showed up in the classroom since I enrolled… Rather, I don’t think I’ve been to the dormitory either, or have I?” (Sakurai)
I mutter while looking back on my memories of the hectic events that had happened since April.
Higaki attacked me on the first day, and I trained with Uncle afterward, and then Higaki and I ended up simultaneously killing each other.
In the Netherworld, I raised my level, got preached, beat up a DV shitty old man for some reason, and stayed in the Netherworld to raise my level for a while more before returning to the world of the living.
When I came back, I thought up a way to make money in legal way in order to repay my debt, made a deal with Luisina, blown up together with the base, and ended up being hospitalized again.
After that, in order to raise my level upper limit to 90, I did a subquest in a gay bar and for some reason ended up serving customers dressed in female’s clothing.
“…Strange. I didn’t plan to get into that many troubles, thought.” (Sakurai)
What the heck did I do? Even though in my original plan, I’m supposed to be studying at the academy and have learned one or two magics around this time.
However, I can’t change what has happened even if I look back on the past. And it’s wasteful to spend time on actions that don’t earn me experience points.
Like that, I arrive at the academy.
Because I don’t know the class allocation, I immediately go to the room of the disciplinary committee, the only place I know the location of, with a wooden sword in hand.
Sure enough, the disciplinary committee members doesn’t know that Higaki and I have made up. As soon as I enter the room, the disciplinary committee members charge at me from here and there to take me down.
“If I have my back on the wall, the opponents should only be able to attack from three directions, then afterwards, I only need to deal with the approaching opponents one by one, what a perfect tacti—, hey!? Don’t fire magics at me from the outside of my reach!? And you call yourselves the disciplinary committee, you bastards!” (Sakurai)
Although there was such a mishap, as a result of me continuing to endure their attacks until they ran out of magic power, I was able to acquire ‘Anti-Magic Power’ skill that reduces the damage of magic attacks, so today would surely be a good day.
And after being given an exasperated look by Higaki who came after hearing the commotion, I safely confirmed my assigned class from the student register. Now I can finally go to my class.
“Don’t go causing troubles for your classma-…no, I mean, u~nn…” (Higaki)
What kind of person do you think I am? I wish you believe in the harmless me more.
But if something happens, I’ll immediately tell them your name, so please do your best to maintain order, disciplinary committee chairman!
Despite such a commotion occurred, I manage to reach the classroom.
How can a new student who’s late by a month adapt to the class? The answer is ‘they can only seriously do their best to socialize’.
You can tell how bad my interpersonal ability is from how I could only came up with such an abstract answer, but as I have abandoned things like human relationships, to begin with, I’d like to build relationships where others and I don’t meddle with each other as much as possible.
Then what should I do to achieve that?
Dunno, don’t ask me, I can only think about it haphazardly.
If someone comes up and talk to me, I can tell them about the wonderfulness of leveling, and if they don’t, I can continue leveling.
For me, the academy is a place to raise levels. I have no interest in this microcosm of society now after all this time.
“So, shall I go in through the back door?” (Sakurai)
Only out of season transfer students would conspicuously enter the classroom through the front; even if I’m also out of season, I’m still a freshman like everyone in the class.
I can just nonchalantly mix in, nonchalantly take lessons, and nonchalantly go home with a straight face.
(If someone talk to me, I’ll just pretend to be a gloomy person and reply stammeringly like, “I-I-I’ve, I’ve been here, this whole, time, a-and yet, y-you don’t n-notice me,” if I keep repeating that, no one will want to be involved with me. Alright!)
Having came up with a perfect plan, I quietly and slowly open the door and enter the room.
I completely erase the sound of my footsteps with my trained movement skill, and successfully infiltrate in without being noticed by any of the students.
Fortunately, now is classtime, so everyone in the classroom have their backs turn to me, save for the teacher who is sending me doubtful glances for some reason.
This is truly convenient, since the teacher doesn’t say anything, all I have to do now is sit in my seat.
……By the way, where is my seat?
In the classroom, about 40 students are sitting in their seats, looking forward. And as far as I can see, there’s no empty seat.
Is the seat have to be prepared by yourself? No, it should be something that’s prepared by the academy normally.
(Then, why’s my seat not here?)
There’s one possibility I can think of. It might be because I hadn’t show up for about a month without any contacts.
I’ve confirmed that I’ve been properly registered in the academy with Higaki’s authority, but even if it says so in the official papers, they must have thought that I was something like a ghost student since I had never showed up.
It makes sense that they treated me like I didn’t exist and put away my seat to save wasted space.
Now then, what should I do?
Class is currently underway. I’m afraid I’ll disturb my classmates who are listening seriously if I were to speak.
‘Class’ was an important element of the original game, for it allowed you to increase your status and acquire general-purpose skills in a way separate from leveling. Whether or not you are taking classes is directly related to the superiority or inferiority of your character’s ability in the end.
In addition, in this world that has become a reality, academics also seem to be treated as a skill, so even if you just listen to the teacher’s words in one ear and out the other like I do now, you’ll earn experience points, though little.
This means that, as long as you gather experience points, it will sublimate as a skill.
And if there’s a skill, then there’ll be skill level, and if there’s a skill level, then I’d be able to raise level.
I can’t bother them. I can’t bother them.
Since I myself am striving to raise level, wouldn’t I be failing to properly evaluate the importance of leveling if I were to hinder others leveling?
They must have acquired various skills during this month. And now, they’re working hard leveling through class work in order to improve their skills.
What would they think if an unknown person suddenly appears and says, “Please prepare my seat,” or such?
Moreover, the person is the ghost student and needs to be confirmed. There’s no way they’d just accept me and say, “Okay, I see.”
How long would it take to get my identity verified? On top of that, how much lesson time would need to be cut to prepare a seat for me?
If I were them, I’d just lift and carry me on my shoulder and throw me out of the window.
No, the corridor, let’s just limit it to throwing out to the corridor. If it’s the window, Iris would get angry, after all. But if it won’t get found out, then the window it is.
(Let’s withdraw for now, and get to the staff room to explain the situation first. And then…and then…)
Suddenly, my thinking stops.
I feel like I was about miss something important just now.
I look around them classroom to look for a clue about that important something…then I see it at the edge of my field of vision.
It’s the system message that I keep checking every minute and every second every day, and there appear messages of experience points acquisition that I am getting in this situation now.
――’Hot Spring Appraisal’ +2. Congratulations, you have acquired ‘Hot Spring Appraisal’ skill Lv1!
Along with the fanfare resounding in my mind, the option to get out of this classroom disappears.
‘Hot Spring Appraisal’, it’s the kind of skill that I don’t know where to use.
But, however, since I’ve acquired it and it has skill level, I’m compelled to raise it.
I immediately switch up my gear, dig up for what I’ve listened in my memory and start playing it in my mind.
At the same time, I listen to what the teacher’s currently saying word for word, and incorporate it into the lecture in my memory that is being played back in my mind to reproduce the flow of the series of conversations and their contents.
Along with that, the experience points I earn begin to increase, and since I start listening to the class seriously, a part of my status increased slightly as the effect of the class.
(If I have a notepad, I may be able to increase my experience points by recording the contents and ruminating it, but there’s no way around it as I don’t have one! There aren’t many situations where I can get experience points for such skills, I must take this opportunity to farm them experience points!)
I fully focus my mind on the teacher and have my free body start practice-swinging
The wind-cutting sound of the wooden sword is almost silent, so I have no problem listening to the teacher’s voice coming from the front.
While taking class, I earn experience points for new skills and improve my swordsmanship skills. On top of all that, I don’t bother the other students.
(This is the perfect student life, I can kill not only two but three birds with one stone.)
I’m fascinated with the very wonderful way of study and keep it up until the end of the class.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
