Physical Education Class.
In the previous math class, I probably acquired the skill of 'Wisdom.'
It was that noisy.
Physical education is nothing but noise.
But I guess I'm getting tired too.
It seems like there's been more integration and significantly fewer skill acquisitions.
I've also evolved the skill called 'Simplified Notifications.'
Even my delusions seem to be conveniently adjusted when my head gets tired.
As expected, my brain is exceedingly self-centered.
Look, there's no skill acquisition notifications that were flowing earlier.
It seems almost certain that this is my delusion.
"Suzumura! Run. It's starting already."
The homeroom teacher for the PE class is noisy.
Well, not as noisy as the notifications.
[Skill 'Dash' is activated.]
Wow, I'm fast.
Or so it seems.
My brain wants to show me convenient hallucinations.
It's getting really annoying.
"Hey! What was that just now? It was like a runaway bike."
"I don't know. You must have seen it wrong."
"Yeah, maybe."
It seems like no one else saw it, so it must have been a mistake.
Is my brain trying to confuse me to death?
"Alright, run two laps around the field."
I really don't need this.
Because it's tiring.
[Skill...
Oh, no dashing.
[Skill activation has been stopped.]
I don't want to see my delusion again, so I spoke to my delusion.
Surprisingly, it backed off easily.
It seems my brain doesn't want to harm my mental state forcibly.
[Skill 'Fast Walk Level 1' acquired.] [Skill 'Acceleration Level 1' acquired.]
[Skill 'Fast Walk Level 1' acquired.] [Skill 'Acceleration Level 1' acquired.]
[Skill 'Fast Walk Level 1' acquired.] [Skill 'Acceleration Level 1' acquired.]
etc...
First of all, it's noisy...
[Skill 'Fast Walk Level 1' acquired.] [Skill 'Acceleration Level 1' acquired.]
[Skill 'Fast Walk Level 1' acquired.] [Skill 'Acceleration Level 1' acquired.]
[Skill 'Fast Walk Level 1' acquired.] [Skill 'Acceleration Level 1' acquired.]
etc...
Don't interrupt my thoughts!
...It seems useless to complain to my delusions.
This delusion seems to have its own personality.
It's probably laughing while bullying me, the main personality.
[Skill 'Fast Walk Level MAX', 'Acceleration Level MAX' integrated.]
It's really noisy! Enough already.
[Today, we will conduct a physical fitness test, including handball throwing, standing long jump, and side step. There are many events, so use your time wisely. Sports committee members, step forward.]
This teacher always lacks words.
He should at least tell us to do warm-up exercises.
"1234...
[Skill 'Stretching Exercise Level 1', 'Flexibility Level 1', 'Repetitive Exercise Level 1' acquired.]
[Skill 'Stretching Exercise Level 1', 'Flexibility Level 1', 'Repetitive Exercise Level 1' acquired.]
[Skill 'Stretching Exercise Level 1', 'Flexibility Level 1', 'Repetitive Exercise Level 1' acquired.]
[Skill 'Stretching Exercise Level 1', 'Flexibility Level 1', 'Repetitive Exercise Level 1' acquired.]
It's noisy. Will this continue?
"Leg stretching - 1234...
[Skill 'Stretching Exercise Level 1', 'Flexibility Level 1', 'Repetitive Exercise Level 1' acquired.]
[Skill 'Stretching Exercise Level 1', 'Flexibility Level 1', 'Repetitive Exercise Level 1' acquired.]
[Skill 'Stretching Exercise Level 1', 'Flexibility Level 1', 'Repetitive Exercise Level 1' acquired.]
[Skill 'Stretching Exercise Level 1', 'Flexibility Level 1', 'Repetitive Exercise Level 1' acquired.]
It seems so. It's noisy.
Just listening to it makes me feel like my mind is breaking. Ignore, ignore.
It's going to be noisy during strength exercises too. Pure hell.
Skipping the rest.
[Skill 'Stretching Exercise Level MAX', 'Flexibility Level MAX', 'Repetitive Exercise Level MAX', 'Jumping Level 3', 'Arm Strength Level 6', 'Leg Strength Level 6', 'Endurance Level 6' integrated.]
It was really noisy.
I never want to hear it again.
But I'll probably have to listen to it a lot more.
[Skill 'Pessimism' activated.]
If this continues, I'll probably become a shell of a person.
No doubt about it.
It's the worst.
"Why the long face? You seemed so happy yesterday. Oh, I get it. Is this the 'I'm too cool to care' act?"
Don't talk to me. My mental stamina won't hold out for the noise to come.
It's beyond just being annoying.
Will my convenient delusions win, or will my delusional notifications win?
I hope the convenient delusions win.
Seriously.
[Skill 'Prayer Level 1' acquired.]
...Bad omen.
Physical Education Class.
I will now throw the ball.
Which means, another noisy festival is about to start.
No, I don't want it.
Why am I going through this...
Oh, it's my delusion's fault... Sigh.
I have to do it... right?
Even if my delusions turn into hallucinations, I don't want the 'activation' messages during PE.
And no titles either.
[Passive skills, active skills, and titles will be temporarily locked. However, skills with no visual effects will not be locked.]
Yeah, yeah, thanks, noisy, noisy.
"Okay, we'll start the test now. Boys in D class and H class, the right side is for handball throwing, the middle is for standing long jump, and the left side is for standing long jump. Don't dawdle."
The teacher is quite noisy too.
Everything sounds noisy now.
I'll get another notification anyway.
I'll finish in one go and immediately move to spectating.
I can probably set a record in one go.
[Skill 'Optimism' activated.]
Yes, noisy.
It has started again.
The auditory hallucinations from my delusions.
Seriously, stop it. Please. I'll cry, okay?
Well, whatever. No, it's not okay.
Anyway, let's hurry before the teacher gets mad.
If I get scolded,
Notification blocks hearing ↓ I don't understand the content ← ↓ ↑ The teacher asks me ↑ ↓ ↑ I can't answer ↑ ↓ ↑ The teacher scolds me ↑ ↓ ↑ Notification blocks hearing→↑
It could lead to the worst loop.
I definitely want to avoid that.
[Skill 'Chain Level 1' acquired.]
Since I'm tall, I'll start with the standing long jump.
Uh, where is it...
[Skill 'Exploration Level 1' acquired.]
Noisy.
Oh, over there.
[Skill 'Exploration Level 1' acquired.]
[Skill 'Exploration Level 2' integrated.]
"Uh, can I start now?"
[Skill 'Wisdom' activated.]
Shut up.
[Skill 'Wisdom' activation stopped.]
Seriously. Does my brain not understand that talking to delusions is pointless? I'm really messed up.
"Yeah. You can go. Everyone else is already starting."
"Thanks. I'll do it then."
"I'll measure for you. It's easier that way, right?"
This guy who can be considerate is really a nice guy.
He even deals with my delusions so kindly.
No, he just doesn't know I'm delusional.
[Skill 'Pessimism' activated.]
I don't think such a kind and good person would change their attitude if they knew about my delusions, but they might secretly mock me.
I believe they wouldn't, but I still want to avoid it.
[Skill 'Evasion Level 1' acquired.]
Alright, gather momentum...
[Skill 'Preparation Posture Level 1' acquired.]
And jump.
[Skill 'Jumping Level 1' acquired.]
198 cm, not bad.
I guess this will do.
Though I have to do it one more time.
"Sorry, Kiyama, but can I continue like this?"
"Sure. It's more efficient this way."
"Thanks. I appreciate it."
[Skill 'Praise Level 1' acquired…]
[Previously integrated skill detected.]
[Instead, 'Respect Level 1' acquired.]
Noisy.
I don't want to hear it again, okay?
...Skipping the rest.
[Skill 'Preparation Posture Level 2', 'Jumping Level 7' integrated.]
Sigh. It's still noisy even though it has subsided a bit.
It directly resonates in the brain, which feels weird.
My delusions are encroaching on my daily life.
Heading straight to becoming a shell of a person.
"Next, I'll measure for you. Kiyama, let's switch."
[Skill 'Switch Level 1' acquired.]
"Uh, 2m 20cm. Wow, that's amazing."
"Really? Thanks. Shall we move to the next?"
"Aren't you doing another attempt?"
"No. The record won't change much. Let's go."
What a nice guy.
If there were girls here, they'd be screaming.
Anyway, let's hurry.
[Skill 'Hurry Level 1' acquired.]
Next, we'll do the handball throw.
Just throw it.
[Skill 'Run-up Level 1', 'Throwing Level 1' acquired.]
"Record~~ 27 meters~~"
One more time.
"Record~~ 28 meters~~"
[Skill 'Run-up Level 1', 'Throwing Level 1' acquired.]
[Skill 'Run-up Level 2', 'Throwing Level 2' integrated.]
Noisy.
