With my limit raised to 352, my remaining 170 undead were lacking in numbers, so I summoned 182 more skeleton warriors to replenish my legion.
I didn't have time to hunt another village, but I could spend the rest of the hour looting this place. I had my warriors search every single building in the village, and I had archers mounted on the walls in case some brave goblins tried to attack us.
Looking at the pile of goblins' bodies, I decided to put them in my inventory. Who knows, maybe someday I'll be able to use them for something or raise them as meat shields if I ever get the ability to raise the dead.
The total of usable bodies was only 176 while the rest were minced, cut in half, or straight too useless for me.
While I was collecting the bodies, my skeletons were bringing chests full of loot for me to plunder. What can I say, I love how easy I could earn money here.
After half an hour of rummaging through chests full of gold and trash, I managed to earn 100k yen (A/N: 900 dollars or 770 euro) from all the gold that I managed to find and loot.
As for the trash, I didn't even bother with pieces of cloth or bones, but I took every single weapon and tool in my inventory.
With the village cleared of anything valuable, I decided that I have done enough chaos for the night and returned back in my apartment.
After a quick shower, I looked at the clock and I had one hour till I have my first class.
I could sleep for half an hour, but that's why some classes are for, so instead, I decided to use my free time on training my body. I don't know how much I could raise my stats by training, but every single free stat is welcomed.
Forty minutes later, I was walking out of my bathroom. This training session earned me 5 points in STR, 3 into VIT, and 4 into DEX, and with the multiplier, it made my earnings double.
Dressing into my uniform, I quickly made myself a simple bento and left my apartment.
Walking through the busy streets, I felt a presence following me, though I didn't know who or what was spying on me.
And I really didn't want to fight right now, so I kept walking as if nothing happened.
Unknown to me, the person that was spying on me saw me slightly turning my head around.
Did he sense me? But how?
"Buchou, you may have been right about him."
"How so, Koneko?"
"When I looked at him, he turned his head slightly. As if he was trying to see from where he was spied."
"Hmm, what do you think Koneko? Is he a worthy pawn?"
"Maybe, Buchou, he's stronger than yesterday by quite a lot and if he keeps growing stronger at this rate, he will be able to fight Kiba-senpai soon."
"Impossible! He's just a human. How could a human fight against a low-class devil?"
"I don't know Buchou, but that's what I feeling. Should I continue spying on him?"
"Yes, please. I need to know if I can snatch him before Sona. If he's as strong as you say, maybe I could use him to break my marriage."
"Roger that, Buchou."
Someone is really spying on me, but who?
[Think about it host. You just got stronger. Yesterday you were barely stronger than your normal exorcist and now you can wipe the floor with most of the normal exorcists]
The devils most likely, and if I was to guess, they are trying to recruit me and make me one of them.
[Exactly. You have to be careful host. I don't want to lose you because of a simple blunder. You are more tolerant than the first Gamer.]
Don't worry. I'm not that insane or stupid to become a devil's slave. But I'll have to deal with them sooner or later. Because I'm sure they'd rather not have some mysterious individual who grows stronger every day. The worst-case scenario is war, and the best-case scenario is a non-aggression pact.
Walking with a stalker behind me was not a pleasant experience, but thankfully, my new stalker vanished the moment I entered through the gate. It will most likely report to its master what it found about me.
As I passed through the gate, I greeted Sona and her friend and queen Tsubaki, who were astounded by my growth, but I had to pretend I didn't know anything.
"Good morning, president and vice-president."
She was still stunned, but after a brief moment of silence, she turned to face me.
"Good morning. Yoshida-san. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing fine, a little tired as I don't really like to wake up too early in the morning."
"How come you are so tired? Did you spend your night outside while in the middle of the school week?"
"Of course not. To be honest, Miss President, I like to keep my body in shape, so I train in the morning, which means I have to get up earlier than I would like."
"I see. It's good to be in shape, but don't overwork yourself."
"Don't worry about it. And thank you for being concerned about my health. If that's all, I'd like to go to class. See you later."
[+5 Affection with Sona Sitri for being a decent and healthy student than won't skip the first class]
[+5 Affection with Tsubaki Shinra for being a good-looking younger student. She likes how you told them that you want to be in a good shape]
Smiling at these two notifications, I decided to hurry to my class. Leaving the two girls alone, I made my way towards my class. As I was walking through the school halls, I came across the perverted girl and classmate, Aika Kiryuu, who was enjoying a bottle of juice outside of our classroom.
When she saw me, Aika looked at me and nodded just like she did yesterday. Seeing her like this, I decided to tease her a little.
"Morning, Kiryuu-san, do you like what you see ?"
"Good morning, Yoshida-san. Thank you for the treat."
"You are welcome. So how did you gain this ability?"
"Training. It works for both boys and girls."
"That's interesting. Say, Aika, could I call that right? I don't really like to use honorifics and it's easier to talk like this."
"I have no problem with this as long as I can call you Haru."
"I also don't mind being called Haru by a cute and interesting girl. Anyways, would like to compete in a little game?"
"What do you have in mind and what's the prize for the winner?"
"The loser will have to do what the winner wants one time, and as for the game, we will try and guess the exact bust of the next three girls that will pass by."
"Deal!"
[Game], I'm counting on you.
[Sigh, you are just like The First, but as a good companion I will help you]
The first girl to pass by was a brunette with quite a modest bust. She will look quite good in a bikini.
"54"
"54.67"
[She's correct. I can't measure in detail. I'm sorry host, but you will lose this game]
Well, I just hope that I won't have to run naked around the school.
After the first win, Aika kept winning and by the time the class started, Aika was leading with 15 to 0.
"I surrender. You are the winner. What can I do for you now?"
"For now, nothing. I will collect my reward in the break."
I will so get raped by her.
[That depends, host. She's a pervert, but not a slut. You do not have to judge a person based on how she or he behaves. Before categorizing someone, try to get to know them better.]
The first three classes flew by, with the majority of my time spent sleeping and the teacher occasionally waking me up to make a fool of me. It sucked to be them. I knew most of the high school subjects, so I had an easier time after they saw that I was paying attention to their lessons even though I appeared to be sleeping.
I was fully operational by the time the lunch break arrived because, as a game character, I didn't need to sleep for too long. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the sensation of actually sleeping.
As I was getting ready to eat my bento, a wild Aika sat in front of me.
"Haru, would mind if you come with to the rooftop? I want to redeem my reward."
I took a brief peek at her before I answered her.
"Sure, led the way."
When we arrived in front of the rooftop's door, Aika took some tools from her pocket and unlocked the door.
"Nice skill you have there."
"You tend to learn something when you are someone like me."
After that, I followed her towards one of the benches that were on the rooftop. Sitting on the bench, I watched Aika looking back at me.
"So, as I was saying. I want to redeem my reward."
"And what do you have in mind?"
"What do you think about me?"
"A perverted girl that has the ability to see how big a dick or a pair of breasts is."
"Harsh, but that's the naked truth."
"But at the same time, you are an interesting and funny girl to be around. You are bold enough to thank me for having my dick and you also put with my game. Though I was the one that lost, I still had fun."
Tears welled up in her eyes as she heard my words. I wasn't sure what to do at first, but her words put me at ease.
"*Sniff* Thank you, Haru. You don't *sniff* know how many times I was branded as a slut for being myself. You are the first person to genuinely tell me that you enjoy spending time with me. And *sniff* I would love to be friends with you."
My first will be a pervert girl. What could go wrong?
"Please don't cry and come here. What would the people think of it? That I abused you? Or that I was on my way to rape you on an empty rooftop?"
She hugged me before she smiled at my words.
"For someone that's pretty much asleep the whole class you are quite a funny guy. "
"Well, it's the least I could do for my first friend. And please, don't be so surprised about it. I'm scary if you don't know me. Just look at our classmates. They keep ignoring me and they barely even stay near me."
"You know that you are probably the tallest guy in the whole school? And adding your look, you are quite intimidating. That's why people tend to avoid you."
"Auch that hurt."
"You'll get used to it. Should we go back to class?"
"Yeah, we have another boring lesson coming, which means that I would have another hour to sleep."
Looking at the two humans, how we're spending their break on the roof, she didn't know how to feel about it.
Yoshida didn't seem to be so anything out of the ordinary. And if you ignore his strength, he could pass as a normal teenager.
The girl was even more normal than he was. She was a pervert, but other than that she wasn't anything special.
Taking one last look at them, she decided that she spied on him enough for today.
(A/n: And don't get me started on the way I made them friends. One is a scary looking dude while the other one is a perverted girl)
