I arrived at school without any further delay this time. I was nervous that there will be another portal today, but luckily there wasn't. I walked out of the bus and started walking directly to the gate.
[Wow, so this is how your school looks like.]
"You haven't seen this before?"
[Mhm. After being sealed, I wasn't able to see the outside world, I was only able to sense the surroundings of the outside world. Although, I was able to see normally inside your mind. I also wasn't able to talk to you. I should've gained those abilities back after the crystals were implanted in you, but since I became a system I had to wait until I finished bonding with your mind and body.]
"That last sentence sounds so wrong…"
[You sure have a dirty mind...but I wouldn't mind doing it with you.]
"...Well, I wouldn't mind as well…"
I wasn't lying. Nana is totally my type, but I think it's too soon to be in a relationship with her. Let alone doing it with her. Although, I'd like to get to know her better.
As I was walking my way to the building where my classroom is located, I noticed a familiar face. It was Hina. As I started to walk toward her, I noticed that she was in distress.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, Ayato… It's nothing."
"You can't lie to me you know?"
She clearly had something in her mind. After a few minutes of silence, I just gave up. I didn't want to be the stingy type of person. I sighed and told her to just forget me asking.
We walked together through the building hallway. I could sense that Hina won't stop looking at me. I turned to her and told her to just say it if she wants to say it.
"It's some of our classmates. The boys specifically."
"What about them?"
"One guy asked me to go out with him, but I refused. Still, he won't stop."
'Wait really?'
I asked Nana for her advice on this matter.
[She already rejected him, so I don't know what to do anymore. I only encountered a problem like this when the prince of a neighboring kingdom proposed to me.]
I was shocked to hear that. I thought she had a lot of suitors, but it looks like I was wrong. I wonder what her reaction might be if I courted her.
"I don't know what to do about that, but just to be safe, you should stay with me. That way I can make sure that you're safe. Although I might be the one in danger…"
"Oh right. You're considered weak since you can't control your abilities."
I nodded at that. Although, if I wanted to protect someone I love, I needed to get stronger.
'Nana, is there a way for me to get stronger?'
[Yes. You can get stronger by levelling up and raising your stats. To do that, you need to kill monsters.]
'The monster yesterday didn't count?'
[No. You only injured it.]
'Oh...wait.'
I started to notice something. Whenever I ask her something related to the system, she starts to talk like a robot. After that, she reverts back to normal. I wanted to question her about this, but that could wait.
***
We arrived in our classroom and the first thing I noticed was that someone was emitting an aura of intimidation. I sighed and headed straight inside. Although, it should have just used the door at the back…
"....What?"
I could feel the intimidating aura get redirected to me, but I just decided to not panic. Although, I think I didn't need to do that.
[Oh wow, you got a new skill. Weird, I don't have this ability.]
'What is it?'
[Suppression: Fear]
'A passive?'
[Yes.]
'Nice.'
This skill will be really useful for when I'm going to fight someone stronger than me. Especially right now. I looked directly where the intense aura was coming from. It was from a bulky dude with blue hair. The way he looked at me was a bit unnerving. He looked like he was ready to kill me.
"Yo."
"Tch. What do you want?" said the blue haired man.
"You looked like you were about to kill me. Why is that?"
"Wah! What is this guy doing?!"
"He's dead meat."
Well, here we go.
