My name is Sera. A girl. Just like the others, I was also in Class 1-F. In this class, I am measured as the vice class rep. I lost to Roman. However, in terms of lessons, I'm not going to lose to anyone.
As long as I live, I always get the top rank in the school. This time too, I was aiming to get the top rank. However, I feel like someone named Akemi is already preparing to stop my records.
Besides studying, I also like reading. One day without new knowledge is like a big disaster for me. Therefore, my bag is always full of books. Starting from textbooks, encyclopedias, novels, biographies, to books of general knowledge.
I really really like reading books.
Among all the students of Class 1-F, my weird power is probably the most absurd. The strangest of the strangest. As if I was matched with a book, my weird power has also involved a book.
My weird power is this: Every time I finish a book, someone will come to me and give me something.
Whether it's an encyclopedia, biography, or any book, every time I finished it someone would come and give me something.
My weird power active about three months ago, right on my birthday. At that time, at eleven in the night, I had just finished the biography of Ir. Soekarno at my aunt's house. Someone suddenly rang the doorbell.
I thought it was my aunt who just got home from work, but it wasn't. When I opened the door, it turned out that it was a postman. The postman I didn't know.
"This item is for you, please accept it." He gave me a dirty object.
"This is ... a used tin, sir. What for?" I frowned.
"I don't know, but please accept it."
"Al-all right." Slowly, I accepted the tin can.
"Thank you." Then he left me.
At that time, I could only gawk.
In a month, I can finish at least ten books. That means, until the end of this May, I had collected more than 30 kinds of gifts from other people. However, the items they gave were not good. The items they gave were not useful.
"This is the fishbone I ate earlier, please accept it."
HAH??
"It's a rock on the side of the road, please accept it."
NOT IMPORTANT!!
"It's a cockroach egg, take it."
PARDON?!!!
"This is my graduation photo, please accept it."
WHAT FOR!!!
"This is the lizard feces that I have collected for one week, please accept it."
DISGUSTING !!!
It's really not right! All the gifts people gave me were not right! The odd thing is, they always come on time. Right after I closed the book, those people immediately came over to me and gave me gifts. Really quick.
One day, I was experimenting. I went to school late at night. The school is very quiet, there is no one. I've confirmed, there really isn't anyone, except me. In that place, I read a book. Read the last page book that I haven't read. Until finally, the book is finished.
"Phew ... it's over. Now in a quiet place like this, no one will be able to give me any more gifts." I said to myself.
Less than five seconds after I closed the book, someone was already in front of me. He rushed to run in front of me from behind.
"Previously, I apologize for following you up here. I'm a big fan of yours! Miss Sera, please accept it!" A girl who was still wearing a school uniform handed me an object.
"This is ... the cap of the pen. What for?"
"I don't know! But please accept it!" The girl then ran outside excitedly.
At that time, for the second time, I gawked again.

This afternoon, I'm in Class 1-F. I'm currently finishing a novel titled Irene & Irene. While the others scrambled out to buy food, I just sat there and was engrossed in reading the novel. Until finally, the novel was over.
Before closing the novel, I look around. Who will give me something this time? Until recently, the people who gave me gifts were always people I didn't know.
When I closed the book, five seconds later someone approaching me.
"Hey, Sera. This is for you, take it." A man walks up to my desk. He was Roman — the Class Leader.
"These are... nail clippers. What for?"
"For cutting nails, of course."
"Oh ... O-okay. Thanks."
He then leaves.
Geez, how happy I am. Finally, I got a useful item too. I will take care of these nail clippers forever!
Thanks, Roman!
