That night, I turned around uncomfortably in the bed. The dream that I have shown is a demon rising to shake my hand. His armor was cool. His weapon was cool. I was wounded all over.
When I get up from bed, my eyes burn again, so I run to the bathroom and wash my face. When the burn subsides, I get ready for school. I put my heavy wooden sword on my back and carry the textbooks. My life has changed ever since I got the Level 1 Noob System. I still want to level up, and it only failed me once.
I think back to the day before moving to this new school. I lost the fight against the class president. It was impossible to move after the poison took effect. Damn. Would it be acceptable to fight her? It was also impossible to level up. I was getting sliced and diced in that fight.
Only Ikke and Takeda are in the classroom playing games. Early as usual, and finally, some peace and alone time. I decide to play some games until the bell rings. Minutes pass by. Suddenly, I catch the class president. It sure has been some time. Takeda watches for the teachers, and Ikke does nothing but worry. I get attacked by the class president, but this time, I dodge every one.
Takeda: You know. I've been wondering. Have you ever heard of that single student whose strength is so insane that they can leave opponents defenseless?
Ikke: No.
Zed [ Level 1] I've gotten so strong! I can leave my opponents defenseless!
I use my new strength and strong arms to chain the class president. Then, I use my max-level strength to push the class president to the floor.
I use even more strength and level 1 noob skills to keep her on that floor until the bell rings.
Ikke: Will that always work?
Takeda: Probably not. Zed always loves to throw opponents around. So, what will he do if his opponent has strong armor?
Ikke: And there are bigger foes out there?
Takeda: Yeah.
I talk with Ikke and Takeda after thanking the class president.
The chat ends when the instructor comes in with the captain and tells the class that there is a serious matter.
The chat ends when the instructor comes in with the captain and tells the class that there is a serious matter. School security nearby has picked up on a very terrifying demon. The captain reveals a video on the board that shows a demon walking down the streets, ignoring all vehicles.
Ikke: Is that?
Takeda: It is. That is Xion. The Undisputed Demon Lord. The Demon King that I tried to summon.
Ikke: I thought we had stopped you!
The captain then walks over to me.
Zed [ Level 1]: What went wrong?
Captain: Look, man. I am sorry I couldn't tell anyone about what happened with the abandoned school. I saw a powerful demon. And what's worse, I don't know what happened after! Please don't tell Commander Cyrus about this!
Zed [ Level 1]: Don't worry. He doesn't need to know. Where is the Demon Lord headed now?
Instructor: There's a prestigious academy five miles away and the most prestigious school.
Ezio: Don't worry, class. I've already warned everyone outside of school about this disaster coming.
Zed [ Level 1]: You have?!!
Ezio: Yeah. The Demon Lord plans to take over the prestigious academy to rule the capital. Our best move now would be to save as many people as possible. But be careful. If the Demon Lord looks at you, he will MANIPULATE YOU!
Ezio: We should all go to different areas to save people. I have decided the captain will go north. Takeda and Ikke. You two should go east if that's not a problem. The captain gave west orders to the student council. I will go east. Zed, where will you go?
I think about it for a moment until I finally get an answer.
Zed: I'll watch out for the school then.
Ezio: Are you sure that's what you want to do?
Zed: Yeah!
Ezio: Dang, that's boring.
Just then, the screen on the board plays a live video. In this live video, we can see the Demon Lord and his giant army of manipulated people.
Undisputed Demon Lord Xion [ Level ???, Rank 1]: Challenge me if you are strong! Otherwise, stay away!
Wasting no more time, we all go to different areas around the capital, but I head straight for the prestigious academy to reveal my plan.
Zed [ Level 1]: I planned to fight the Undisputed Demon Lord and I am going to win and when I do, I am going to level up and gain more strength!
