Chapter 2

A year have passed

Today is the day when I become a high school student . I was wearing my new uniform and standing in front of the mirror .

“……It suits me well, I guess . ”

It was an ordinary uniform . A deep blue colored blazer and trouser, a necktie and a white shirt . But I couldn’t help but feel obnoxious seeing myself wearing it with half-dead eyes in front of the mirror .

Before I realized, Karen who halted her steps inside the corridor was gazing at me .

“……Does it suit me?”

“Maybe it will if you do something about those dead eyes . ”

“Yeah…”

My sister got quite the sharp tongue .

Karen is now a third-year middle schooler; she changed her hairstyle to a ponytail this time and was wearing a different school uniform as well .

It’s a ponytail today, huh?

So I thought as I saw Karen’s hair . She has a habit of changing her hairstyle to different shapes and varieties very often . I always wondered how troublesome it is for her to change it every week .

“Your uniform looks well on you too . ”

“Yeah . ”

Said Karen before she turned to the other direction .

She’s the type who doesn’t let their emotions reach their face, but I’m still her brother .

For instance, when she turned to the other side right now, she’s definitely twitching her mouth, which reveals that she’s happy but trying to hide it .

I’m not sure as to why she tries to hide that fact, but my sister had already entered puberty . Perhaps she’s taking such attitude because of her age .

However, my dear sister, Onii-chan can read through all your little tricks . I let a smirk show in my face as I was thinking about that .

“What are you smirking all alone? Disgusting . ”

A sharp tongue indeed .

I responded with a bitter smile then heard my mother’s voice calling us from the lower floor .

“It’s about time, both of you!”

“I’m on my way! Let’s go, Karen”

“Okay . ”

We both descended the stairs .

“Here’s your lunch box . ”

“Thanks, mom . ”

“Thank you . ”

We received our lunch boxes and placed them in our bags .

“You’re now a high school student . Make sure to behave well in the opening ceremony . ”

“You too, Karen-chan . Be extra careful this time since you don’t know the way to school yet . ”

“Right . ”

“Okay then, have a good day!”

We exited from the entrance door as my mother was seeing us off .

After what happened last year, we ended up moving due to various reasons .

Although the main one was because of me .

The first thing I had after waking up again that day, was a police interview . And from then, every time I heard the police visiting, I pretend to be asleep . I can’t tell them something ridiculous as that my classmates went to a different world, after all .

Anyway, I was able to deceive the police that way, however, that wasn’t the case for the media . The topic became widely prominent in news programs resulting in people pouring all their attention to me… in a bad way .

Due to the persistent reporters intruding in our home, we had to unavoidably move our address . That’s why I felt pretty bad for my family .

“I’m going this way . ”

“Is that so . Try to no get lost . ”

“That’s none of your business!”

exclaimed Karen as she took a separate way, leaving me alone heading to my new school .

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Arriving at my new high school, the entrance door was rustling by the many students around .

“… I guess I’ll skip it . ”

It will be fine as long as I go back to the classroom by the end of the convention . While considering the time, I stealthily sneaked out of the gym .

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Now that I sneaked out, what should I do?

I started loitering inside the new, unfamiliar school . The inside was unexpectedly wide, so I remained walking while I decided to verify my status .

Kamiya Yato Age: 16 Male Race: human lv93

Physical points: 9800/9800

Magic point: 9600/9600

Skills

Appraisal- super growth- Magic creation- Super Sleeping strength magic- Fire magic- Water magic- Earth magic- Wind magic- Light magic- Dark magic- Teleportation magic- Space magic

Sword skills- Boxing skills- Body enhancement (medium)

How can I say this… I may have gone a bit too far .

All that I did was almost cast 【Sleeping strength magic】every night before sleeping, but who thought that this will be the result after activating it every day for a whole year .

To top it off, the 【Super growth skill upgraded【Sleeping strength magic】 to 【Super Sleeping strength magic】throughout the way . Thanks to that, the experience I acquired had drastically increased . Well, leveling up is not a bad thing, after all .

About the other skills, for the 【Fire magic】,【Water magic】 and the rest, I casually made them just because I wanted . I mean, wouldn’t it be great if I were to go to a different world and be praised as ‘the possessor of all nature elements!!’? That would be amazing .

However, despite creating them, I didn’t have the chance to use them at all, which explains why they didn’t level up .

It’s like the modern world is telling me that it doesn’t need any magic .

As for 【Teleportation magic】, It was a pretty convenient skill I created for moving from place to place, though I had a feeling that I’d turn into a hopeless person if I kept using it so I stopped doing so midway .

【Space magic】is similar to the one in light novels where a person can have an infinite storage space . I created it thinking that it would be useful, but in the end, its purpose wasn’t truly fulfilled, There isn’t that much stuff that I want to store in the first place, so it felt kinda useless .

【Sword skills】was obtained when I was randomly swinging a rod . I thought that it would grant me something like stick skills, but I guess my recognition played its role at that time . When I hold a stick and imagine it as a sword, it will then be recognized as 【Sword skills】 . Although it is called like that, I didn’t get the chance to use a sword anyway, but at least I became somewhat better at using the kitchen knife . Well, my culinary skills are still bad, though .

【Boxing skills】is an upgrade from the skill【martial arts】 I obtained first . Owing to this one, my physical abilities had immensely advanced . I became able to easily crash a huge rock if I hit it seriously . At that moment I made a promise to myself to not use that hit against a human .

【Body enhancement】is the same as the previous one . It was merely 【Body enhancement】at first, then leveled to 【Body enhancement (medium)】 due to 【super growth】 . It also allows an extreme ascending to my physical abilities when used .

I have already attempted using it several times, however, I don’t think I will be using it ever again . It risks resulting in someone’s death .

With this and that, I spent a year discovering and expanding my new abilities, although I keep wondering whether all of this was really necessary or not .

Magic is not useful in this world, nor are the sword and fighting related skills, since I’m not the type who picks up quarrels . Rather, I do my best to avoid them .

When I think about it this way, I realize that all of this was worthless .

I halted my steps to gaze at the sakura trees while pondering about such a thing when abruptlyーーーーーI noticed a girl collapsing before my eyes .
