"Hello. Nice to meet you."
Henry was shocked by hearing Kevin's voice.
He was so panicked that he might faint again.
"Where am I? Why am I here?"
Although Henry asked this with courage, he was trembling underneath.
'Will he do something to me?' Many stories started to come into His mind.
'An 18-year-old boy was found naked.'
'A student of S-class was found co-populating with another boy.'
'Is this the way of new generation?'
He was seeing his photo on the front page of the news.
"Take a deep breath and relax. You fainted after the match, so I took you to the infirmary," Kevin said nonchalantly as he took a bite of his apple.
Upon hearing this, Henry felt a sense of relief wash over him.
"So I lost, then," Henry mused as he recalled his defeat.
"It's alright to lose. Life isn't always about winning, and besides, it was a good match. Let's be friends," Kevin offered, extending his hand. However Henry was still hesitating to touch Kevin.
"Sorry. I already have a fiancée. So I can't respond to your feelings." Henry bowed his head.
"Hey, don't worry about what I said during the fight. It was just to provoke and tease you. After all, you also picked me as your partner with malicious intent, right?" Kevin explained with a chuckle.
Upon hearing this, Henry couldn't help but feel guilty.
"I'm sorry about that. You see, there are some noble factions who discriminate against commoners.
They sent me to test the waters, and some people didn't like how Professor Alicia and Princess Irene were paying attention to you. I don't have any personal animosity towards you," Henry explained.
As Kevin took another bite of his apple, he replied, "Yeah, I understand. Unfortunately, I can't do much about Professor Alicia and Irene. That's why I wear this mask and try to avoid them. But they just keep pestering me."
"Why you don't like them paying attention to you? Are you really that....?"
There was a scared expression on Henry's face.
"No, I'm not serious. It was just a joke. I want to become strong, and distractions like women, fame, and politics won't help me achieve my goal. As you can see, I got myself into this mess just by talking to them," Kevin said, his smile turning wry.
Henry nodded in agreement.
"But I don't think they'll just let it go. Sooner or later, they'll come after you," Henry warned.
"Thanks for the heads up," Kevin replied. After chatting with Henry for a bit, he left the infirmary.
Putting his mask back on, Kevin made his way towards his classroom. As he walked, he thought to himself, 'I knew that already. I wasn't just shooting in the dark. I know they'll come after me. After all, man is an animal that makes bargains with others. These people are no different. Soon, a chain reaction of pesky flies will start.'
'However, they are going to crushed by me sooner or later.' There was a mischievous smile on Kevin's face.
'Although There will be some changes, but it's not like I care. Still it's a good thing that I cleared Henry's hostility.
Everyone has their own uses and there will be no gain from him otherwise.'
Soon, Kevin returned to his classroom.
After returning to the classroom, Kevin attended all his lectures as usual. However, throughout the day, he noticed that many students were staring at him. Although he was aware of their curious glances, he didn't bother to pay any attention to them.
As soon as he finished his lectures, Kevin left the classroom in a hurry. He briskly walked towards his dormitory, eager to reach his room.
Within a few moments, he arrived at his room and pressed his index finger on the digital lock. The door opened, and Kevin stepped inside before closing it behind him.
'Sigh... These people sure are irritating. I hope soon Magic Class Professor teach them Body Enchantment magic.'
Kevin was annoyed by how he was getting unusual attention. Thinking like that Kevin lay down on his bed.
'Now let's see some good stuff.' Kevin was excited.
'Dio. Open God Coins Exchange Shop.'
[Okay. Kevin.]
Soon an interface appeared in the air.
[Gold Coins Exchange Shop]
[Potions]
[Equipments]
[Skills]
[Elixir]
[Others]
God coins balance: 320
[Okay. Many people wouldn't get the process of GC Balance.
- Passing exams : 100 GC + 10 GC bonus
- First (mute) chat with Alicia : 30 GC
- First chat with Irene (Villainess) : 100 GC
- Flirting with Irene : 50 GC
- Defeating Henry : 30 GC.
So the total amount is 320.]
'Now let's see what should I buy?' Kevin started pondering over which thing he should buy.
- Potions.
No, I can make potions that I can buy with this much GC. Although at low quality. I don't have much use for them.
- Equipment.
It's a good choice. I can buy some good equipment. But for now, it will be useless. After all, I don't think I can use that anywhere now and it would be a pain if someone asked the source of it after seeing it.
- Skills
It was just expensive. While the cheap one's price are more than 500 GC.
- Elixir
Yeah. There is some good stuff. That I can buy and use.
Like this one.
[Foundation Enchanting Serum [High/Mid/Low]
Make your foundation firm
Price: 800/500/250]
Yeah. I can buy a low-quality one and about others, there are some things that I don't have much use of them here.
I don't want to gamble in them or the lottery now either.
'Hey, Dio. What's the difference between high-quality serum and low-quality serum.'
Kevin asked.
[First, It's price.]
"....."
[Ahem. It's just process of their implementation is different.]
'Elaborate in detail.'
[To use the serum. You just have to inject it into your body and after some physical training, It will take effect.
However the amount of physical training is different in them.
As the quality of serum decreases the amount of physical training will increase. Also, you can only use any serum only one time in your life. No second or other ones.]
'And how much is training amount?'
[It takes 2 stages in High quality, 3 stages in Mid quality, and 4 stages in low quality.]
'What is amount of physical training in each stage?'
[It's in the following :
- Run 2000 Kilometres
- Push-ups - 3000
- Sit-ups - 3000
- Squats - 3000
- Lift up 30kg weight 15000 times.]
'Hey, can't say everything in one single time?'
[Can't.]
'Why?'
[Because gods said don't tell him if he doesn't ask.]
Hearing this, Kevin sighed.
'Then all stages have the same amount of physical training?'
[No. It increases and the total amount of physical training might be different in different serums. However, there will be also high physical training in it.]
'So should I buy this or not? Although I would have done less physical training and it will also save my time. But I don't know when I will be able to buy mid or high-quality serum.
After all, it took me more than a week to collect this many God Coins.' Kevin kept pondering. In the end he decided.
'So let's buy this. After all, I have to become stronger now. I can't wait for gods to give me tasks.'
And just like that Kevin bought it.
[Congratulations on purchasing Low-grade Foundation Enchanting Serum.]
As soon as he bought the serum,. it was stored in his subspace.
Shortly thereafter, Kevin retrieved a small bottle containing a blue-colored liquid from his subspace.
He held the bottle in his hand, staring intently at its contents. With a sense of determination, Kevin retrieved an empty syringe from the first aid kit located in his room. Carefully, he filled the syringe with the blue liquid from the bottle.
Kevin took a deep breath and steadied himself as he prepared to inject the liquid into his body.
Although it was unclear what exactly the blue liquid was, it was evident that it had a significant effect on Kevin.
He placed the tip of the syringe against his skin and slowly pressed the plunger, allowing the liquid to enter his bloodstream.
'Why am I feeling like I am taking some forbidden thing in my body...'
As the liquid flowed through his veins, Kevin closed his eyes and took a deep breath. For a moment, he remained still, allowing the liquid to take effect.
Soon it was completed.
'Hey, Dio. Make a panel for Physical training stages.'
[Okay. Here you go.
Physical Training Stage - 1
- Running - 0/10000 km
- Push-ups - 0/ 3000
- Sit-ups - 0/3000
- Squats - 0/3000
- Lift up 30kg weight: 0/ 15000]
Phew...
Now let's start physical training.
