Sera does not have memories of the original owner of the body. However, the real world synchronization between the Odyssey, and this world is almost hundred percent. She seemed to be a freshman at the university. She skipped a year upwards without possessing necessary knowledge to get there, by the sheer virtue of capital.
" Lance ! " she greeted him enthusiastically before she could control her body.
Inner Sera is reeling ! What the ? What in the world ? Her body moved without her permission.
The force is so great, she had no choice but to stay behind and watch as her body moved like a puppet on strings, her words came out sounding exactly like a ditzy girl she hated the most in the world.
" Will you please take me with you ? " She asked him, holding his arm and swinging it, just like the most detested cute character in the Otome game !
' Darn it ! '
' Was there an Otome game based on Odyssey ? ' she swore inside her head.
Hells ! she could not bear it !
Just as Sera was about to push her chest towards Lance's arm, inner sera, locked up in the purple vines with thorns screamed.
' NOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo! ' She screamed with all of her strength, and the vines scattered into a thousand little particles.
Lance is a strapping lad with silky blond hair, blue eyes, and one eighty cm, wearing a rustic looking brown leather space suit, with bronze rings at the neck for putting on helmet.
Sera herself was wearing a baby pink space suit, with a cute white gun strapped on her thighs, and silver rings at the neck for helmet locking. Sera had straight raven hair, sharp phoenix shaped purple eyes, and an oval shaped face, small rose petal like lips. If she stopped smiling, she would look imposing. If she smiled from the bottom of the heart, it would lighten up her entire face like cherry blossoms after rain.
On the contrary, Charlene, who was looking at them as if watching a spectacle, was a buxom girl, with all the right curves in all the right places, which not even a shapeless standard white space suit could cover. Charlene had shining golden curls, half lidded amber eyes and kissable lips on top of her sexy body.
Looking at both of them, it's all too clear they don't look like sisters at all. At the same time, Charlene resembled general Esgrot all too much in her facial features. It's not at all like the game, where Sera has a weak beauty-like look, while Charlene has a cutesy look.
I digress.
Lance turned his eyes, and his eyes fell on Charlene, whose eyes stared straight at where Sera held Lance's arm.
Lance shook off Sera vigorously, as if she was a virus.
At the same time, inner Sera got control of the body, she was in the process of letting go at express speed.
Both actions coincided, and the force pushed sera back, making her fall on her butt. Fortunately, the inner sera still had control of the body.
" Ow ! " She said, glaring at Lance with her eyes full of fire.
Lance was taken aback.
Usually, at times like these, had it been the original owner, she would be looking at Lance with eyes full of grievances, begging for help.
Sera on the other hand just stood up by herself, checked her space suit for any problems. She was about to rip off Lance. Fortunately, the teacher arrived at this exact moment.
" Settle down ! Settle down ! "
The teacher shouted aloud.
All the students tidied up, automatically taking their designated positions matching with the helmets hung on the wall.
This is the standard protocol before going out to hunt.
" As all of you know, today is the day you get your systems and weapons. Come up when your name is called. " The teacher said.
" Peter Allen "
A wimpy looking boy looked up. Unlike his wimpy look, he is a strong guy with an unforeseen ruthlessness and flexible strategy. Not a single guy in the class had come off unscathed when they fought Peter.
On the pure white table, suddenly a few metal circles vanished. From the holes, shining globes emerged, placed on pedestals of appropriate color. Peter looked very thoughtful as he looked at the systems. Aura whirled around inside these glass globes making various shapes.
After some time, Peter chose the one with black whirling aura.
Then, the instructor pointed at the wall. The wall split open to reveal an entire wall full of various weapons. Some looked strange, like an antique lantern hanging from the wall, yet others looked not very reliable,like the wooden sword with leaf like vines around the handle. Yet others looked non-committal, like the very unambiguous looking engineering shovel Peter was looking at, like he is in love. Then there are those that looked mighty, like the sniper rifle with all modifications, camouflage paint, and even an accompanying army knife.
" Choose your weapon. "
Peter rushed to the engineering shovel like if he delayed it for one moment, someone would rob it.
" A - Rank battle hound system, Collectors edition all weather survival engineering shovel. "
" Peter Allen, Are you sure you want to choose that shovel ? With this, you will use up all points you earned till now. " The instructor asked.
" Yes, Definitely. " Peter answered, hugging the shovel to himself.
" Charlene Bisch" The instructor called next.
Charlene went up with the swaying of her hips. All the guy's focus shifted to her bottom as she walked to the stage.
She chose an orb with silver shine, and a scalpel.
" D - rank Upgradeable Healer system, All purpose health bot scalpel. " The instructor announced.
" Your system has the highest potential among all the systems. It depends entirely on how you use it. Use it well, Bisch, "the instructor said.
With the pronunciation of the instructor, the ' Bisch ' sounded very much like ' bitch ' . Sera snickered at the sound.
" Stop smirking, Dustwood. Come up. " The instructor barked at her.
" Well done, Bisch " Sera said, deliberately slurring the s, making it sound like a T. Their relationship has soured long since, from the moment Sera noticed Lance's interest in Charlene, and Charlene's subtle encouragement.
Charlene gritted her teeth as she passed by. This is not the first day she was mocked for her name.
She went up to the stage.
Instructor entered her name on the table.
However, only one orb came up.
Sera looked aghast.
She put her hand on the globe, and read its information.
[ F - rank combat system ]
[ features : appraisal, mapping, reconnaissance, mutant beast database, live animal analysis … ]
The entire feature list is support items. It included anything from identifying species to recording a situation for the report. If it were a survival system instead of a combat system, it would be ranked SSS. If it was the original owner, she would be devastated, but Sera is jubilant. To think they would give away a baby like this for free ! These interstellar people are far too generous.
" For your information, this system does not rank up. " the instructor added.
Sera looked like she was about to cry !
In the game, she has no choice but to beg the instructor for a higher rank system. She still remembered the words the perverted instructor said then.
" Three rounds and a bark then ! Then I will use my instructors privilege to give you a higher rank system. "
In the end, Sera still did it.
Oh! The humiliation !
That is the first time Sera shed tears of anger and humiliation !
Thinking back to that time, looking at the results right now, Sera could not help but shed tears once more !
TEARS OF HAPPINESS !
Whether it's E-rank combat, or F-rank combat, the point is the system only gives missions, it does not assist your fighting much till a fighter's rank crosses B.
For herself who could never get to B-rank combat unless she is reborn, this SSS rank support system disguised as F-rank combat system is the best, the best, system she could get.
In the game, it is a paid item, nickname'd 'Sera's savior' system for how useful it is !
Not just a measly paid item, a paid item made for krypton gold masters, priced at hundred dollars !
The freeloaders like herself had to beg like a dog to get the D-rank combat system that starts with D-rank monster quests, which she could never kill with F-rank stats !
Sera grabbed the system globe and finished registering before the instructor could so much as blink.
She looked back at the shocked and bewildered perverted instructor with her eyes gleaming smug.
In Sera's mind, she could see Sera : 1 , Perverted Instructor : 0.
The victory fireworks went off behind anime Sera, while a gigantic boulder dropped on the head of the perverted instructor.
The perverted instructor recovered after a moment.
" Oh ! You can have a system. But you see, none of the weapons could be taken without points ! What will you do, Sera Dustwood ? " the instructor mocked Sera.
An Iron cage dropped down an Anime sera, and a poster with word ' Poor ' is pasted on the cage, as sera hung her head.
