Eating in the cafeteria, sitting around the same table and also being the second group to actually eat this morning, the three girls from that first group caught their attention, it pushed Jérémy to look away from them or he would be called a pervert for no reason by Renka and he doesn't want to say anything about it.
- It's Aozora, Charlotte and Angelica !
- You mean you know them ? I'm pretty sure you were a boy yesterday... what else did you hide from me ?
- I wasn't a boy yesterday. Stop getting the wrong ideas, yes Angelica has feelings for the new student. "By lying with such honesty, even I will believe in my lie."
- Great. I'll have to make sure they never cross again. By the way, how can you know them before me exactly ? Did you bully the teacher ?
- We're just friends from a very very dark past in an orphanage that got destroyed by the disease where we met but our road had been separated so we had to live on our own until finding that school.
- Yes but which one is Aozora and which one is Charlotte ?
- Aozora has long blue hair, blue eyes, blue bird, blue nails and don't approach her too much.
- And Charlotte ?
- Let me breathe okay ? Charlotte has long red hair, red eyes, long white socks and she doesn't like you at all.
- She doesn't like me ? "But I increased my charm points with my galaxy brain... anyway why can I hear a ding song whenever I level up ? Is it like an alarm to remind me of how good I am ?"
Renka stares at the short young woman with long red hair and red eyes, with black eyebrows and just like any human being in this world she had a nose and so Renka cared to know about Charlotte's opinion so she got up and went to see her being polite like she always is unless she is being disrespected or ignored.
- Hello Charlotte, I'm the future class representative in my group and I wanted to know your honest opinion about me. "Her face reminds me of bad days..."
- Are you sure ?
- Yes, absolutely. "This girl wouldn't lie to her class representative, which means she wouldn't lie to me either !" Renka was being overly confident when she thought all that.
- It's hard to say... For now I'd say... "What does Edna think of her ? Wait, maybe she is testing her by sending her to me." I don't dislike you.
- Phew.
- What do you phew for exactly ? "That voice is irritating, no no I'm just tired from everything that has happened these past few days."
- It's just something I always do when I'm relieved that everything is going well. "I thought for an instant she was a brute but it is just not the case."
- Good, go back to your lunch.
- Charlotte we don't need to push her away.
- Aozora... the girl took a serious tone... let's enjoy our meal together !
Angelica didn't say a word, Renka went back to her table and ate her meal with passion, after all she is fond of the school's food.
Both Edna and Jérémy were eating, not waiting for their roommate to come back or it would have gotten cold, they both prefer drinking apple juice rather than milk when accompanied with chocolate which is purely a coincidence.
Renka saw that and thought it was suspicious when she started drinking her glass of milk and with the biscuits on the side she would put them in the milk to then taste them at what she calls their full potential.
"Delicious ! I want to have the same meal everyday of my life, nothing can compare !"
"Edna likes apple juice combined with chocolate, did I ever meet her in my past life ? But I do remember that girl that always had chocolate bar with her and ate them in class while I couldn't hold myself to also eat the same thing."
"Reincarnated as a prettier girl, I'm eating some good ol' chocolate with the nice apple juice from my childhood. Also why is Jérémy copying me ? I don't rememb... wait actually I'm probably at fault here but no, that guy just happens to like the same thing as me when it comes to first meal, nothing out of the ordinary."
"When I think about that chocolate, it always reminds me of that girl with black hair who always had a cold look whenever I tried to look in her eyes."
- Hey Jérémy. I'm very curious about something.
- Yes ?
- Can you guess my race ? Any idea how we were reincarnated in this world ?
- No.
- Too bad ! I could swear that you died an horrible death, how painful it was ?
- Same as you.
- It hurts a lot huh. "If only I had any idea who the killer was, I would avenge all three of us." By the way, I'm very fond of chocolate so you better give everything to me.
- Yes... I'll take apple juice as compensation. "How did she hide her stats ? She probably reached a crazy level..."
- Renka you still there ?
- Yeah I listen to you, checking that you are following rules and not doing anything dirty.
You surprise me... By the way, have you heard of a system called Perfection Project?
- Yes.
- That's the voice in my head. A feminine and pleasant voice. "Unlike Edna the candy breaker."
- Don't you find that suspicious? We weren't chosen at random, someone, this woman selected us. I suspect Miss Esteria.
Jeremy was thinking about Edna's theory but it didn't hold water, especially after what he had experienced before with this same person who didn't seem to know anything about it.
- No, she doesn't know anything, tries hard to say Jeremy.
- Why, then ? It can't be a coincidence that she put all three of us together.
- It's true that... "From this point of view, it makes her suspicious." But if it really was a gift from Miss Esteria, shouldn't we be thanking her?
- Thank her? And then what else, tell him that I love him? "With me at the party, she denied knowing what I was talking about. And do I really need this system to go on living?"
- Since we're done eating, we can go ask him before class starts.
- No, I'll be fine, I don't want to waste time with that. "If not her, then maybe some mysterious force or deity or something? It's definitely not natural that we're the only ones."
Edna bites her nails so much it pisses her off not knowing the origin of this system or why she and her two comrades were chosen in particular.
His first theory was that all three of them were murder victims.
His second theory was that a mysterious force like Fate made it that way.
His third and final theory was that a deity selected them to participate in something far more ambitious.
Jérémy meanwhile now wondered about this phenomenon following Edna's intervention on this subject, to tell the truth he was curious to know who had been able to design such a system, the only lead he had was the voice feminine but it could very well be a mistake and he decided to show the mirror to the girls.
- There was this mirror next to me when I woke up in the grass the first day.
- Wasn't it just to look pretty? Congratulations Jeremy, you're the only one with this mirror, concludes Edna.
- But hm... he points to Renka's pointed ears and the latter grunts immediately understanding the allusion.
- Yes I am an elf, so what!? Do you have a problem with that?
- No, it's just that...
- She's the only elf here. So if she doesn't mate, it's the end of her species. But personally I got used to his unsolicited presence.
- It's sad.
- Anyway, let's get back to business. The system was designed for us, our group too. The problem is that we don't know if it's for our good or not. But it looks good to me for getting rid of monsters and I'm afraid it will be used against us.
- There are so many possibilities and magics to learn with...
- We should choose stats to prioritize each. For me it will be Intelligence, Agility, Dexterity and Strength, says the white-haired youngster.
- Mana and Luck, fall back Jeremy.
- I'll won't say it to you!
- Anyway you will choose Agility, Strength and Charm. Because you are predictable.
Renka growls at this remark and at the fact that Edna guessed it.
- By the way Edna is your real name? that last one asks her innocently.
- Yes "But what surprises me the most, is the fact that the new guy doesn't be suspicious of anyone here" Yes and your name is really Jeremy?
- I think so.
