chapter 41
41. Before school (1)
Rebecca is busy with training, Shine hasn’t been to practice for a while, and Fran has taken the holy relic from me and left to overturn the Order.
Later, news came through a letter and I heard that they had succeeded in overthrowing the church.
However, they said that they would have to spend some time organizing the denomination before school started.
In the end, all the SSRs I chose had left me.
“Should I use it or not?”
I think it’s a bad idea to choose an SSR irresponsibly.
What should I do if the SSR character’s scenario progresses at the same time?
I could have torn my crotch trying to handle too many scenarios.
Since they even sold their own equipment, wouldn’t it be good for each other to graduate from the academy and go out into the polluted area to perform well?
Just because the polluted area has now stabilized at 60:40 doesn’t mean that the same ratio will continue to be maintained.
One day, the polluted area will start to threaten humanity again, and we will start replacing the nobles again to purify the polluted area.
And I guess that time will come soon with a high probability.
‘The main scenario will proceed unconditionally whether or not the SSR is drawn.’
Before that, you need to draw as many SSR characters as possible and assemble a squad that can clear the Contaminated Zone.
However, making a maggot stat by making a mess of the scenario by randomly picking out SSR characters would be a complete turnaround.
What is needed here is balance.
It is necessary to adjust well so that each person can properly intervene in their own scenario.
And with school just about to begin, I had to choose whether or not to draw the last remaining SSR character.
“Should I pick it up too?”
Rebecca will grow on her own if she is left to get used to her unique equipment, and there is no time for me to intervene until she takes over the Church of Frando.
Shine hadn’t seen her face in a long time, and it was impossible to guarantee that the relationship with Shine would continue as long as they traded unique equipment.
I think it would be right to pick one more.
Bang bang!
“mister!”
Bang bang!
“Is the door open? it’s open excuse me.”
I only briefly mentioned that he might not be able to become a nobleman, but he suddenly appeared in the store.
“mister!”
“… What?”
“How you doing? I’m back from practice!”
The person who made a loud noise from the appearance was none other than Shine.
I know I came back after practicing, but I don’t know why I was in such a good mood, and I didn’t understand why I came here.
“So what are you going to do? Should I have welcomed you?”
“I didn’t even ask for a welcome. Ahahahaha! Still, I wanted to tell you that he came because he was a benefactor to me.”
Benefactor?
If you think of Shine’s scenario, there is no reason to wonder.
That guy must have had a near-death experience during this practice, and the consumables I gave him would have come in handy.
“These are the things Daddy gave me. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to come here because I would have died during this training session.”
He talks so peacefully that he almost died.
I could see that he was trying to ignore it, as if that kind of shock didn’t have a big impact on me.
“Did something like that happen? I managed to come back alive.”
“Kyaa~ So. It seems a bit odd to me, I think. And that’s all thanks to the things you gave me. You said you saved me!”
What would I do if I made a fuss here when the person who experienced the big deal was trying so hard?
I also congratulated him on his return with a sullen attitude.
“If you’re so grateful, why didn’t you buy me a present?”
“hehehehe, I bought you a present.”
“… You bought me a present?”
Going to practice means going to a battlefield where life is threatened.
So there is no one who takes care of souvenirs like a person who has been on a trip.
It makes no sense to even wish for such a thing.
“I didn’t give you anything great. You said I almost died. I barely survived with the stuff the uncle gave me and succeeded in killing the child, so I brought the molar tooth as a souvenir.”
“If it were a molar, it would sell for a pretty high price.”
“hehehehe, but I wanted to keep this as a souvenir. I have the other molar, and I am giving this to you as a thank you.”
“Hmm… It’s a burden to receive as a gift. If I need money, I might sell it.”
I don’t know who caught him, but the size of his molars was the size of Shine’s forearm.
How long can I really hold this guy?
There are no packaged products that attract me to the store right now, but one day there will be products that will entice me.
At that time, I didn’t have the confidence to keep this molar without selling it.
It could have been better if I didn’t answer the embarrassing question about whether I had my molars in the future.
“Sell it. It doesn’t matter though. It was just that I had no way to repay my gratitude, so I was going to repay you in this way.”
If you sell it when you need money and use it usefully, he grinned, saying that he was done with it.
“Abu’s skill is quite good. This is a gift, but isn’t half of it a bribe?”
This guy already knows what I have.
A suspicious merchant who has a lot of precious scrolls that even a newly enlisted noble would not dare to look at.
They might want to ask about my identity, but rather than that, they might want to continue to buy things based on practical reasons.
Didn’t I even save my life with my stuff in this practice?
“Uncle, you are very quick. Did you notice that already?”
“I’m not young enough to play around with this level of trickery. Anyway, the gift is well received. Use your pocket money wisely.”
He said he could sell it, so there was no reason to refuse.
I quickly took care of my molars.
“School starts soon, right?”
“yes.”
“Have your skills improved?”
“of course! I met a fantastic mate, but I have to grow up. He did a great job this time.”
Shine’s main stats increase when she returns safely from practice without dying.
So you can’t help but be excited.
“School starts soon, so I can officially raise my grade. Congratulations.”
Officially, Shine will still be in Class B.
If you start school this time, you will be officially recognized as an A-class.
“Even if it’s not the case, I wish I could start school sooner. hee hee I’ll go home and give a loud shout, and I’ll bring a lot of pocket money. mister.”
“Are you going to ask me to sell the one you gave me when you went to practice?”
“yes.”
“If you don’t tell other people where you got it, they’ll sell it. I won’t even sell it to you if shy people come and ask me to give it to you.”
“no way! That’s about it, of course. There’s no way I can talk carelessly.”
“It wasn’t you who told your friend everything, was it someone else?”
“My friend got me into trouble?!”
“no. didn’t screw up But he’s saying it because he can do it enough to bother me.”
Shine probably felt that her friend’s attitude was unusual at the time.
I didn’t like the constant questioning of where these things came from.
“I will tell you separately. Uncle, don’t be in trouble.”
I think the best way is for that friend not to appear in front of me from now on.
Shine’s first scenario is over, so the second scenario will begin.
The second scenario takes place after school starts.
Shine had a rival when he was young, and while Shine stopped growing in B-class, that rival rose to A-class first.
The rival becomes displeased when Shine becomes A-class and takes classes with him, and starts to check him.
Then, as fate would have it, an opportunity arises for Shine to face off against his rival during class.
A rival who doesn’t like Shine who is trying to beat him to the subject who has barely risen to the A rank now.
And Shine, remembering the days when he was ignored by his rivals, wanted to win without fail.
The confrontation between the two was the point of the second scenario.
‘When you win, when you lose, when you get a draw, you get different rewards.’
It is best to win to produce the best results.
However, in this case, he had to work hard with all kinds of items to win.
In most cases, if even this is slightly twisted, you will be defeated.
If winning is too difficult, it’s not bad to try for a draw.
A draw can give you better stat growth than a loss.
But what if you lose?
‘It’s better to just re-roll.’
In that respect, he needed to grow up to be able to win in a confrontation with a rival before starting school.
‘But there’s no way for me to grow him.’
I couldn’t just throw away one minute and one second just for the sake of a confrontation with a rival.
“hey. Do you have any plans to spend the rest of your vacation to the fullest?”
“to? Are you spending your vacation to the fullest?”
“okay.”
“how?”
“There is a private training ground that I use. The academy teacher is training there.”
If I could use any of the things I had, I was willing to use them all.
Any Rebecca I know wouldn’t say no if I asked her to take a moment to teach her Shine.
“I happened to make friends with him, so I can ask him to look at you for a second.”
“???”
Shine’s eyes wide open as if he couldn’t grasp the situation.
“no?”
“uh… uh huh no! great! I love it!”
Shine, who belatedly grasped the situation, jumped up and down.
“But who are you? Are you a teacher I know? Who are you?”
“You know Rebecca?”
“omg! Are you Rebecca?? He’s a senior A-class training teacher!”
If he raises his grade this time, he plans to become a teacher in charge of Shine’s training.
“Then it was fine. If you’re a student who has to be in charge anyway, it’s better to get trained even a day earlier.”
“of course!”
Shine frantically shook her head up and down.
