Chereads / The Ancient Shield Warrior / Chapter 2 - Waking up

Chapter 2 - Waking up

*GASP!

I woke up from my sleep.

*Taking a deep breath.

*Observing around.

I was in a little room, lying on a single bed. I see one little floor-level table with a rug underneath, one mattress where I woke up, the absence of a dining room, one closet with a cabinet next to it, a big rectangular mirror, and glass door next to the bed, and a tiny patio next to the bed that faces the street. The space is outfitted with a contemporary tiny kitchen and bathroom.

"Where- where am I?"

My voice sounds like a youngster transitioning into an adult.

One finger is half clenched, one finger is fully stretched, and the remaining two fingers are fully clenched as I raise both my left and right hand, palms towards my face.

"A tiny hand?"

I stood up, got out of bed, and headed over to the large rectangular mirror.

I was keeping an eye on every part of me. My short hair was a medium dark silver tone, and my eyes were a striking cerulean hue. My face appeared young and trim, and my physique was lean. I was around 59 inches tall. I was quite small. And my skin is a rose-beige tint.

I did not have a shirt on, so my upper torso was visible. and only wearing nero-colored shorts.

"Who am I?"

"Why am I unable to recall anything?"

Then, out of nowhere, something that resembled a system appeared before my eyes. It emerges from an azure dot, expands into a long horizontal, and then expands once more into a rectangular shape.

In the top middle, a word was visible. Every phrase that popped up from it was accompanied by a high-tech sound. After that, a second word is said, followed by a brief girl robotic sound. The word did not meld into the blue rectangle. Rather, it appeared to float on top of it. Its hue is white, and outside the line, a dark shadow may be seen. The word is illuminated despite the fact that the opacity was extremely transparent.

*Bold* System *Bold*

-->Transition from left to right as the word appeared word by word.

/Appeared

"Welcome to the Vleley

City, The City of Culture."

\Dissapeared

<--Transition from right to left as the word disappeared word by word.

----------------------------------------

"Vleley?"

System: "Congratulations! You have been selected to be the first person to live in this glorious era where magic and technology are both advancing at the same time."

System: "My name is System. This is where you will reside within someone's body that I have chosen and will be replaced by you."

System: "I've moved all of your memories into our temporary data system due to a high policy security procedural."

Wow... This is insane. *The floating word on the blue rectangle glides a little bit to the right while the system is talking, and I was able to do this by using the index finger on my right hand to slide the blue rectangle from left to right with normal sensitivity. The word floating on it moved to the left while it was happening and vice versa. When I slid it in any direction, it followed the same logic. No matter how hard I tried, I was unable to rotate the blue rectangle, including the word.

System: "You're listening, right?"

"Ahhh... Yeaaa... Of course."

I grinned and pretended to be attentive.

System: "Due to the fact that you will be residing on this planet going forward, you do not need to worry about your prior recollection."

System: "We solely communicate with one another via this mechanism. I am your God; I am the one who chose you."

"A God? To whom am I speaking?"

System: "I am a System."

System: "Please click the button directly below this one so that we can start."

The word "Press" emerged out of nowhere in the bottom right corner of the system.

"Is this one here?"

I press the button, and it then emits a *Click sound. While the word moved to the right, the blue rectangle object slid to the left. A second word then appeared from the left to the center, and a blue rectangle with a lighter hue appeared from the right to the center. Word by word, the transition goes from top to bottom.

"What is this?" As I observe every single one from top to bottom.

"This is like a game... Is it showing my own ability?"

"Hm? MT? What is it?"

System: "Question confirmed. MT is an abbreviation for Magic Tipe. It defies how much mana each magic you will use."

"Personal Information?"

After that, I pressed the button. It slid again, just as it had previously.

Then, above the previous rectangle, other blue rectangle windows appear.

System: "This is your personal identification information. It will display all of the crucial short facts that you will require."

"Yugome... Shakumi..."

Yugo: "So my name was Yugome..."

Yugo: "My personality is a thug?"

Yugo: "I see... I've been called to be a criminal..."

Yugo: "Yosh! I'm ready!"

System: "If you do that, you will get in trouble and possibly end up in jail."

Yugo: "Eeh? Then why did it say, thug?"

System: "Question confirmed. This personal identification information belonged to the old body, and you will be the replacement for this personal identification information."

Yugo: "Ohh... So my previous body was a criminal...."

Yugo: "Huh? Finance... In debt???"

System: "Question confirmed. No explanation required."

Yugo: "Wait a minute, hold on. How much is my debt right now?"

System: "Question confirmed. The debt data track was lost as a result of a memory replacement."

Yugo: "THEN WHY YOU CHOSE THIS BODY!!!"

System: "Question confirmed. No answer required."

Yugo: "*Sigh..."

I'm taking another look at the personal information.

Yugo: "Class Shield Warrior?"

System: "Question confirmed. Class refers to the sort of weapon that can be used to cast a magic spell."

System: "Casting spells are permitted as long as the prerequisites are met."

Yugo: "Hooo... But why is my magic being none?"

System: "Question confirmed. You need to learn magic by reading or by practicing."

System: "Learning spelling is permitted as long as the prerequisites are met."

Yugo: "I see... But-"

"Oi! Yugoooo! Have you left yet?"

The system disappeared after she called my name.

It's a girl's voice. Then she bursts open the door. She notices me standing in front of the mirror without a shirt. She stands about 62 inches tall. She has a long, bright yellow hairstyle with pigtails. She is dressed in a black shirt and a long-sleeved vivid yellow suit that matches her hair. It reveals some of her soldiers. Her collar is adorned with a square biscotti pin. She is dressed in a short black skirt with a white line at the bottom and a biscotti belt pin. Pink nail ink is used with denim nail ink along the edge of her nail. Except for her eyes, everything was yellow. It has a sky-blue color on the bottom and a navy color on top. Her ears are also long and pointed at the tip. And she wearing a black shoe.

"Hei! Yugoo! You just woke up, didn't you? Didn't I tell you to wake up earlier?"

Yugo: "Ee-mmmm..."

Then the system appeared again. I quickly glance at the nickname section.

----------------------------------------

Yugo: "Ahh- Myra... I just- I'm about to change right now."

I smile at her, despite the fact that I only recently met her.

Myra: "Haah? You are acting weird today... *Sigh... Quick."

She grasps the doorknob with her left hand.

Myra: "I don't have much time to just wait for you."

She shut the door.

...

I dash to the closet and open it. As the system vanished.

Yugo: "Where exactly should we go right now?"

System: "Question confirmed. Academy. A study program in which you will learn everything there is to know about magic."

Yugo: "No... What should I wear right now? Quick!"

I'm trying to find some sort of uniform for something like that inside, but there isn't any.

System: "Question denied. The statement's point is missing."

Myra: "Yugooo! Are you done yet or not!?"

She screams from outside the door.

Yugo: "I-I did hold up!"

Yugo: "What should I do... There's no other choice, I'll just wear one from here."

Perspective shifts, with Myra standing outside the door. She leaned on the fence, her gaze fixed on my room.

Myra: "*Sigh... Why should I even bother waiting for him in the first place?"

She was frustratedly gazing at her phone while waiting. She looks at the time and notices that it is already 07.45 a.m.

Then I opened the door.

Yugo: "Y-Yo... Myra... Sorry for waiting..."

Myra fixed her gaze on me. I'm dressed in a silver shirt with black jeans.

Yugo: "Is it fine... If I wear something like this?"

Since I have no idea if the academy allows it.
