"Does that mean that you brought me here?"
Matthew asked as his eyes narrowed.
⋘ The Goddess of Night stays silent. ⋙
"I mean... it's strange. I was just sleeping, and then, *puff*! I got transmigrated into another world."
"Besides, now that I think about it, I've passed through a lot of scenes where even a seasoned killer would easily die. I mean... an entire skyscraper almost fell on top of me, but I still had quite the time to escape."
"Nobody would be able to survive that... so, am I lucky or unlucky? And there's more, it wasn't just a skyscraper."
⋘ ... ⋙
"Not talking, huh... It seems that you really tried hard to kill me. But, what's the reason?"
⋘ The Goddess of Night sighs, "The only way for me to be able to meet you is for you to become a 'constellation' of this world. The "Deus" isn't actually the "ruler" of this world, and is just a single pawn. When you become a constellation, you're going to quickly realize that "Deus" is much weaker than you think. If you become a mid-grade constellation, you're already stronger than him. And before you ask, the constellation does indeed have "grades" to show who's stronger than who. ⋙
"Mhm... but, it was 'Deus' that started this bullshit, right?"
⋘ The Goddess of Night nods, "I'm not entirely sure who gave him the power to create such a powerful 'system' that can control the probabilities of this world, but we're trying to figure that out. Besides, in the novel that you've read, it says that the constellations are giving powers to mortals so they can unify themselves to attack 'Deus'. That's some real bullshit. And more, although I also don't know more about the novel since I only accompanied the chapters that you read, I'm pretty sure that this world is under the influence of the "World Tree", so you should be careful. ⋙
"World Tree...? Do you mean like.. Yggdrasil?"
⋘ The Goddess of Night nods once again, "Yeah. I don't really know what happened here, but it's strange to see 'mana' flowing so smoothly when theres Yggdrasil in the centre of the world. After all, the 'mana' should have been gathered there because of the blessing of life. Anyway, I'll be busy for a bit and won't be able to talk with you, and I also don't know if the other constellation will talk with you. Bye~, get stronger fast, and don't miss me too much~!" ⋙
"Fuck... wait! You still didn't tell me the reason why you want me to become a constellation so much...!"
"..."
The panel in front of Matthew disappeared, which made him let out a big sigh.
"I was tricked... however, if she wants to touch me that much, can't she like... create a clone or something to go to earth, or are there some rules she needs to follow that don't let her do that, or is there some reason?"
"There's many things that I want to know now. Besides... she wouldn't want to kill me so I can get into this world and then turn into a constellation just because she wants to feel me... right?"
"...that would make her quite crazy." He murmured.
He looked outside, and suddenly realized that they had finally arrived. From the window, he could see the majestic "Hero Association" with thousands of people around.
And what caught his attention was the really huge queue at the entrance.
'Damn... I hope I don't have to wait...'
"Matthew, come on! You're the last one on the bus!" Stacy's voice reached out to Matthew.
"Haaaa..." Matthew got up from his seat and walked out of the bus.
His eyes directly met Lilian's, causing Lilian to smile faintly.
'Don't tell me this woman got interested in me...' Matthew looked at Lilian, who was now explaining a few things about the trip.
As he mentioned before, he absolutely wouldn't like to have someone much stronger than him so obsessed with him.
But that isn't the only thing, even if they are only in love with him, he also wouldn't like to have that happen.
Who knows what kind of kinks those women would have...
"Now... like I've said, we'll be having a combat examination with a few F to D-rank heroes. Don't worry, everyone can choose the grade of their opponents." Lilian finally ended her explanation.
The students, including Matthew, followed Lilian inside, passing directly in the queue, and then entered a strange room where a beautiful woman was wainting for them.
"Lilian~, you've arrived~!" The woman directly appeared behind Lilian and tighly hugged her behind.
Once that happened, the students gasped, especially those who recognized the woman hugging Lilian.
However... Matthew had a deep trace of disgust in his eyes.
'Ugh... I want to vomit...'
"Get a room..." Matthew's thoughts escaped his mouth.
Stare...
Both Lilian and the unknown woman looked at Matthew directly, seeing the trace of disgust deep dwelled in his beautiful eyes.
"What?" Matthew didn't even bother to hide the disgust in his eyes.
Lilian remained calm, but the other woman... was furious. If Lilian wasn't suppressing the woman's aura, Matthew surely would be suffering.
Or so were her thoughts.
"Calm down, Stella." Lilian spoke with a sigh.
"That's our strongest 1st year student, if you do anything to him, you'll get in deep trouble." Lilian warned
Hearing her words, Stella calmed down, taking a deep breath.
'...she's probably a Villainess.' Matthew said inwardly as he looked at her.
'Fuck... I thought I could escape those lesbian or gay shits, but they still exist on this world...'
'Well... I should be able to handle it... I think, after all, it isn't like in my original world, where people assume a neutral gender and think they can "be" a chair or something.'
'Compared to those mentally-ill people, this shouldn't be a problem. But, come one... couldn't she hug her when nobody was looking or something!?'
"Attention!" Stella clapped her hands, gathering the attention of everyone.
"I assume that my Lilian already spoke to you all, but we're going to have a combat examination to test the different classes."
"Everyone can choose between a F to a D-Rank awakener, however, this will be graded, so, if you guys think that you can get a simple passing grade by choosing and doing well against an F-Rank, you're completely wrong."
"So, let's start with the first-ranked student... Please come forward." Stella spoke.
At that moment, nobody took a step, and they all looked at Matthew.
"Ah..."
The student's eyes widened in shock after looking at Matthew, while Lilian sighed deeply.
Pressing a woman against the wall, Matthew smiled charmingly as he held her chin. The woman blushed like a red tomato, and her lips perched as if waiting for a kiss.
But, before Matthew could kiss her or anything...
"Matthew, stop playing around!" Stacy's voice called out to him.
Matthew rolled his eyes, and was about to 'act', but the woman put a paper on his hands and ran away from him.
He could see a faint smoke coming out of the woman's head as she ran away...
"Tsk." Matthew clicked his tongue.
"Oh..." He finally noticed that everyone was looking at him.
"What's the problem...?" Matthew scratched his head.
"I don't think it's my turn, I'm definitely the weakest here... in rank." Matthew spoke innocently.
At that moment, Stella heard Lilian sighing once again.
"Leon, come forward." She finally spoke after sighing deeply.
"Go choose which one you want to fight..." She added.
Leon nodded his head at her words, and walked towards the examination room.
"What did he mean by that?" Stella asked.
"Oh... he got first place on the entrance exam, but he hid his combat abilities and ended up finishing last on the combat exam."
"Really? Why would he do that...?"
"I don't know... But, there's something that I'm sure about..."
"What?"
"Matthew is a complete monster when it comes to anything."
