LIGHTNOVELONLINE 6. A new life, a new opportunity to enjoy youth.
A new life, a new chance to enjoy youth...
'Seriously... what a pain it is to have lost all the results of your efforts and start over with a weak piece of shit body.
Ha... calm down Ren, it's a new body, you have to start, even if it's just to find out what you can specialize in.
When I woke up this morning, I remembered why I didn't like school, it's annoying to get up early and interrupt your sleep by going to a classroom with 49 other people who couldn't care less about your existence.
According to Kiriko's perspective of the game, he got up a couple of hours before me to train and said in the process "It's a new day to train, which will be amazing, I'll meet a lot of friends and it will be wonderful"
'fuck, either he's an abnormal person for getting excited about the first day of school or I'm the abnormal one for not giving a shit, whatever, back to my situation.
I got up at 5 am to warm up and see how much I could do...
'I must say this body is in a shit state, it has no stamina, no strength to do planks, I can't even do sit-ups properly, this body despite being awakened, spent too much time in books, including the lousy diet in which the best meal was a bowl of instant soup that was already expired.
'Despite having a horrible diet, this body can walk almost normally, which indicates how resilient awakened are, a normal person would have died from malnutrition long ago.
After having tested my current physical limits, I returned home after having bought some food from Ren's savings, for some reason, they were in a jar that said "Do not touch", I imagine they must have been sent to his parents, after all, his family was poor and Ren entered thanks to a recommendation.
After returning from the park, I took a short shower and changed my clothes, leaving home at 6:30 am to prepare everything against my future humiliation.
The first thing I did was go to school, luckily for me, this game was set in an updated ancient aristocratic state, in other words, the setting is buildings from before, but with a lot of the technology from my world.
Since there is no electricity in this world, most things are used with magic engineering, home inventions like kitchens and showers are mostly used with elemental magic stones, commoners like me normally shouldn't even have a sewer channel, that should be reserved for nobles only, but since among the many heroines, there are some who live in poverty, I imagine the developers didn't want the foul smell when the protagonist comes to their houses... this is not like the ancient aristocratic one known in my world.
'Imagine it's like the ancient times where aristocratic people believed that bathing ruined fertility, so they bathed once a year or 2 at most and used wigs and perfumes to cover their lice and foul odors... damn, I found something good to my situation.
While feeling some comfort from this reincarnation, I quietly waited in the huge carriage that is used as a school bus, since the entrance to All could be considered far on foot and the state of my body was still weak.
According to the pamphlet I had saved, All is so big that from the outside of the city, it can be seen normally... so, to keep it safe from foreign eyes it is known that outside of the city only fog can be seen due to the combination of air magic and water magic that blocks the view from the outside of the city.
Their security is also to be trusted since all their guards are awakened, there are even retired ex-heroes who are dedicated to teaching, but since there are only human teachers there is a limit to the number of classrooms.
When I reached what would be called the entrance, I understood how small my vision had been regarding All's terrain.
Just the view looks like a city, throughout the academy, there are teleportation doors to take you to any area that is allowed for students, and in the middle of everything is the giant needle.
'according to the game data, since mana is a poison for non-awakened humans, the needle collects the remnants of mana along with what is collected outside the wall to use it exclusively in certain areas where the awakened are, that is why the awakened classrooms are further inside than the others, after all, it is like a university in my old world where there were different buildings.
As I walked through the entrance, I looked up and tried to see the tip of the spire... it's so high that it reaches the clouds and I don't know where the end leads, according to my sister that's the principal's office and it's so high because she can activate a shield that covers the entire school just with her mana, there are rumors that she can even see in case of intruders from that distance and act accordingly.
'I still don't believe that there's someone so stupid that would try something when the owner of the place is capable of decimating countries just with her magic and that's not counting her sword arts... a crazy bitch through and through.
After marveling at the sight, I entered the school, there were very few students currently, all middle-class students walking through the entrance like me, as there was another entrance for carriages which is the one that nobles use, as a separation of middle and upper classes, unintentionally done by the headmistress as she to some extent hates discrimination she was the one who imparted her values to the protagonist, and I know that the protagonist was like a justice-loving knight.
While thinking about random things, I went to that building located about 5 minutes away from the school entrance and went to the rooftop which wasn't hard to force open without breaking it, after all, it was supposed to be closed and the boy who was able to enter here with his people was because his uncle was a staff of this academy.
After roughly calculating with my memories of the scene, calculating the location based on the image of Ren being wet in the cinematic, I left an object that Ren had in his room that would put those boys in their place
Nothing serious, obviously, it's just a joke product that creates a small explosion with fireworks. It's shaped like a sticker and the size of a silver coin by combining a mana stone in the remote control and connected to the stickers. Although it's small and only works once, its price is not cheap.
It costs 5 silver coins, taking into account that with 10 silver coins, you can pay for water and electricity for a family of 6...
Expensive, right?
Well, yes it is, although they come with 3 of these stickers and more than one way to use them, from making an illusion to making a flash that would blind someone for a second.
In the memories it doesn't appear where Ren got it from, so it must have been from before, I only know that Ren used one of these as a joke on a teacher who was often angry in class, and he used it as a small revenge for being so cruel, I know this because in the little documentation that was in Ren's room, among them was the letter to his parents about that joke.
I stuck it on the railing, and I left, I left everything as before I came to avoid possible annoying variants, and although I know that since I've been here I'm a variable, I don't want to be one as much as possible, my peaceful life depends on it, and even more so that I don't have the strength to defend myself, and possibly I don't even have a magic attribute.
I went back to my apartment, washed my face, and prepared to wait until it was 8 am, half an hour before the doors closed.
When I got back, I saw that at the entrance for those who walk and not in a carriage, there was a girl next to an old butler...
um... I must admit something, in my old life, I didn't have the emotions I have now, no girl had ever made my heart beat as hard as now, and the worst of all is that I'm on the girl's bad side.
'Could it be because of the hormones of young people? Or am I influenced by what's left of the old Ren?
The closer I got to the girl who caught my attention with just her presence, I could formulate my thoughts about what I saw.
I saw like an angel descending from heaven, that long jet-black hair along with that clear and soft skin in sight, in that blue schoolgirl uniform along with that body that would make you give everything you have in life just to hold that waist, and those beautiful blue eyes very deep or even deeper than mine, that seeing them would be like losing yourself in the sea.
'If I were a normal young man, I would probably drool over her too, too bad for her that I'm not normal.
This girl's gaze was a penetrating and cold gaze that drove everyone away, the bad thing is that her cold gaze became colder the moment she saw me, her gaze even said something like this.
"You say something I don't like and I'll kill you."
Although teenage hormones were bothering me, I regained my composure in an instant, although in Ren's memories, there was this girl's appearance, for some reason it overlapped with the memory of another girl, as if there was some kind of circumstance there that I can't investigate now because I'm about to enter the lion's mouth.
After her brother fell into a coma, this girl was trained by her grandfather to handle company affairs as a future heir, so this girl is in no way something a mere commoner like me can match, her pride as a noble must be rooted in her bones, worse yet, her favor towards me must be in the negative, that's why when her butler blocked my path, I didn't say anything and silently waited for the girl's words.
'um... I currently have a 0% chance of surviving if the old man attacks me, at first glance he is a man trained in battle, and his body is positioned and tense for any attack, I still have no way of getting out of this alive, even so, this old man is crazy if he thinks I will die without leaving a scratch on him, I have beaten bears 3 times his size with a broken arm, after betting that I could carry a 400-year-old log with one hand, who would say that those bears saw that log as a nest... such fond memories.
After looking into the old man's eyes with a calm look, the old man just looked at me politely in silence, the one who broke the silence was her.
- follow me.
I just nodded and followed her
'um... it feels like I'm walking with a block of ice by my side, she gives off that natural cold aura, it seems like this girl harbors a lot of hatred since the last statement and Ren opened those wounds, although well, I don't care about that wound, but what she will do about it if she tries to harm me, she will have to kill me at once, otherwise she would put me in a bind by having to look for a good ending with 3 heroines and not 4.
Luckily for me, she led me to the building I passed earlier, and when I got to the same area as the game, she looked back to see if anyone was following her, then she turned around and based on the patterns so far, I guessed she would say the same thing as in the game, because her first words were:
-You're a stinky man...
Before this woman said her boring dialogue that I don't care about, I went ahead.
"I know what you mean, and before that please let me tell you 2 things and I will leave and not bother you anymore
I spoke in the most polite tone I could to show that I was dealing with a mature person and not with the young man in love yesterday, she thought about it for 2 minutes and after an eternity of silence in this cold environment, she spoke coldly.
- spit it out
Taking into account everything previously analyzed, I spoke in a tone and posture that indicated that I was inferior to her, I know that nobles love this nonsense, if I were in good physical condition, I would speak normally, but right now her aura from magic is bothering me, indicating that making a move against her would be like fighting with lead on your back.
" I want to thank you for your kindness before everything
Seeing her looking at me strangely, I continued.
"I know you could send a butler of yours to let me know, but no. You came and that's why I wanted to thank you. The next thing is that declaring myself without even knowing you was frowned upon and doing it in front of the public was worse, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, it was my naivety in this atmosphere so out of place for me...
While I continued talking nonsense for a couple more minutes, I was waiting for those guys to arrive, when I noticed some presence, I decided it was time.
"Please forget all this
I made a 90-degree bow and waited for her to leave, while I continued crouching I looked at her feet and I knew she was still there looking at me, she only looked at me for a few more seconds in a cold way, with a look... it was a look that seemed to want to see all of my thoughts, finally, she made a 180-degree turn and left.
When she was no longer in sight, I began to hear some voices above me.
'Well, I was giving them a chance, but they didn't want it.
I pressed the button on the control and then a small bam and some trakataka, I only heard some screams, then I just walked out of there without looking back.
'I wonder how interesting the food they give at the academy is, I'm starving, so I'll look for a snack in the nearby plants.
When I arrived I begged the gods of this world to make them forget the embarrassment I went through yesterday when I declared myself and didn't receive any answer, not because I care what others think of me, I'm not a child with personality problems to care about those things, but because all the children in this classroom are nobles, and if any of them start bothering me with the intention of pleasing that woman, it will be a problem...
'I don't have a good reaction to bullying from others, it would be better for everyone if it didn't happen, I wouldn't want there to be chaos at the beginning of the year, I just want peace.
Upon entering the classroom, I immediately noticed that it was very decorated, too much for my taste, but it doesn't take away from what makes it a high school classroom.
Fortunately for me, as I walked through the classroom no one cared or looked in my direction, each of these nobles was focused on their own business and it was obvious that they had no time for a commoner like me.
Unfortunately for me, the classroom was arranged in order of academic score, and my name was behind the protagonist, once I settled in, I lay down on the seat and went to sleep.
It is said that the protagonists are selected people, and I believe it, whether it is an extra from some novel or those fan-fics where they use a forgotten character or a new character.
From that moment on, that extra has already become the protagonist in the eyes of others and is basically ready to start shining since the viewers love that, but also ready to suffer a lot, not only for the affection of the readers but also for his personal growth.
[evil is won with love] is such a game, Kiriko has all the advantages and all the possibilities to shine, from the day of elemental evaluation when the world finds out that she has an affinity to 5 elements.
But her path is also paved with pain and suffering, each heroine has events, many of them inevitable that equal her suffering and growth, among them, the daughter of the demon king is among those who suffered the most, a kind, innocent, and sweet girl finally becomes a sharp and cruel woman.
She and many heroines have different traumas in the game and the protagonist is in charge of solving their traumas while saving the world.
'um... poor boy, he's barely 16 years old and he'll have to carry the weight of the world... well, it's the price of a supreme force, isn't it? Power comes with suffering.
After the magic evaluation, the headmistress being the sweetheart she is, celebrates it at a high-class party along with all the famous guild heads and many influential people to show off Kiriko's talent.
While I was still in my monologue, I didn't realize that a girl sat next to me and was looking at me very coldly...
When I turned my gaze and saw who it was, I felt 2 things.
An angel descends
But my mind told me.
'Damn, I wanted to be at peace.
It was Kuroka, the girl I talked to a while ago and the human heroine of this game.
- You're in my place.
She just said that coldly, causing me to draw the attention of the others.
'tch, how troublesome.
"Sorry about that, I'll be up now
-Forget it, I don't want to touch what you touched.
"Thank you for your consideration
'Wasn't the seating arrangements supposed to be by academic score? I'm sure I checked before entering the classroom, unless... yeah, that's right, she's there.
I forgot that the principal, to give her nephew more love, made the seats around him be the 4 heroines, the daughter of the elf queen would be in front of him, the daughter of the dwarf king would be to his right and the one behind him would be the daughter of the Nakiri group and future fiancée, Kuroka Nakiri.
Also, since Ren never came to the classroom, he didn't know that he wouldn't have the space he should.
'I thought they would be sent to class B, not A which I'm in, which is giving me a headache right now because of that, it's a pain that the class assignment is random unless, of course, you pay with money for selection, fuck, I thought it would be random
As I continued analyzing the events that had to come with the protagonists being in the same classroom, the entrance door opened with magic and a woman entered.
Long black hair, violet eyes, and a curvy body in her 25s, known as the swordswoman called Shiro Kitamura also known as [the lavender sword] referring to the color of her eyes and her sword.
A beautiful and kind but very strict S-rank woman, according to her description, it is said that you have to be careful that you touch a nerve with this woman because it is said that she is more terrifying than many experienced psychopaths.
'I wonder if I can learn interesting things from her
She spoke with a beautiful but strong voice that showed her authority, her beautiful eyes scanned the entire classroom from top to bottom.
-Alright students, my name is Shiro Kitamura, and I will be your tutor in these 3 years of the academy, I hope we can get along, before we start, I must call a few late students, please enter children.
The door opened and a boy entered which made many girls in the classroom sigh, along with 2 girls that made all the boys sigh.
'I thought it was an exaggeration of the scenario, but it seems that the beauty of the protagonists is in another range
The boy's appearance could be said to be common and at the same time not common at all.
He is common because of his black hair, which is typical of harem protagonists, along with his shirt that squeezes his muscles, which in a girl's opinion would be more masculine, and his black eyes. He was 1.70 tall, and although he wore his uniform jacket, that did not take away his noticeable muscles. He had a masculine aura but the face of a boy, which confused the girls in the area.
What was not common was his face, seeing him I felt that it would make the male models in my world depressed.
To the boy's right was a tall girl, a little shorter than the boy protagonist.
She exuded an air of nobility and elegance, with waist-length blonde hair, clear blue eyes, and pointed ears, her proportions were perfect and she had a polite look.
'She must be the elf heroine, I guess it's true that her passive charm applies to everyone, if it weren't for my mental strength, it would be difficult to look at her without being caught up in her beauty.
To the left of the boy was a small girl, about 1.60 cm tall, with brown hair in a bob cut, amber eyes, and a nice figure.
'She's like the definition of cuteness, but they made a contrast with her weapon specialty, it is said that this type of girl is scary when she gets angry, although she is beautiful just like the elf heroine and the human heroine, each one has a different aura.
'So I've already met 3 of the 4 heroines and the protagonist, I wonder where the demon heroine is, oh right, there's that thing...
