Persistence’s journal

Day 1: I'm not much of a fan of writing nor expressing my thoughts. The exact two things I'm doing right now writing in this journal. However, I'm doing this more out of boredom than wanting to. I also find myself becoming more open to new ideas, maybe it's because of Greater Servant. Maybe this will lead to new ideas from looking at things from the past. With that, I feel it's important to explain what happened on the first day. As I write this? Nothing. I have yet to even get out of my bed yet. I tried to convince somebody to acquire me some type of wheelchair but all I get is weird looks. I am also unable to make one due to the fact I can't get out of bed. My day has been more boring than I would have hoped. That may be the biggest reason why I lay here and write because it's either that or lay here. Though even with my impacted mobility I have been doing all I can. One of which is using Kira. If it was just me I would be making her do 1,000 times more than she is currently which is basically just taking care of me. The reason I don't work her to the bone comes down to the issue of Akari. For more than just keeping up appearances, I have been trying my hardest to act as Akari would. I don't care to do this for some fun game. I fear that if I act out of line I will lose this opportunity granted to me. Another thing I've done is keeping an eye on Akari who has basically replaced places with me. He is currently in my realm. I bet he hasn't even noticed. Other than that I'm trying to eat the foods that will let me get bedder as soon as possible. Iassume its also important to try and look at the good side of everything. That includes this horribly boring day. So what shall the good thing that happened to me today? Well, I guess the bed feels kinda nice. With that, I end this day.

Day 3: Rehearsing the same old thing gets boring really fast for me so I decided to skip the second day which was just a glorified first day. By now, however, there seems to be some talk that I've started moving around again. It seems before this Akari was actually going to class. I hear that and wonder how he even got out of bed. I came up with multiple theories but one was that he was basically killing himself day by day. His stats were horribly low and now I'm here trying to get them back to normal levels. Limited movement has been added to my day to try and quicken the process. The only people to come and check on me have been Ren and a few authority figures. It seems they are keeping their distance from me for now. Though that doesn't stop them from watching me. I have indicated a few spots where that may be happening. As soon as I'm able to move I'm planning on removing them without looking like I know I'm actually removing them. Another thing to make it seem I'm just the normal Akari. Kira has been very helpful and it seems her true personality is being suppressed by a layer of guilt. It makes things very easy. She is very easy to manipulate. I plan on doing some scouting soon. Though I fear if I did that now I would be more scared of Kira than my body. She's annoyingly clingy. If there was anything good that happened today I would say it was beating Kira in an arm wrestle. Though I doubt she really tried. With that, I end this day.

Day 7: People seem to be treating me oddly. It seems to be a range of things that I've slowly been figuring out. Nothing bad though… After many hours of convincing Kira has permitted me to get up and walk around. I sometimes think Akari treated Kira worse than how I'm treating her right now. I mean from her perspective Akari was not taking care of himself and then forcing his body to do things it was not in the state to do. All Kira could do is just sit there and watch him slowly die. At least now she can do something. Even though it can be annoying. It's true walking is still a tough act for me right now but it's absolutely necessary. I do have to keep most of my weight on a cane when doing it though. My scouting mission has revealed a few things. This academy is not just for learning, it seems. The classes focus more on how to fight than history. Fight what though? I'm not sure. I do know what they want with me though. I was able to steal a file for Akari while taking advantage of an old principles bathroom break. Reading through It seemed like they didn't have much info on Akari or Ren. What they did have was a funny nickname, some alleged laws they broke, and how powerful they think we are. My guess is that they want to use me and Ren as some weapons for war. However, I don't know that for sure. I mean I would If I kept reading the document but even while the old man was away I was still being watched. So I decided to put it back to not get into any real trouble. I also found out the layout and exits to the building. Overall my scouting mission was to figure out as much as I could and I feel like that's exactly what I did. Biggest plus for this day? Kira used her healing skill longer than normal tonight, that felt nice. With that, I end this day.

Day 8: My strange recovery seems to be getting more attention than I wanted. Today they brought in some mage that I hadn't seen before. It seems they brought him to inspect me. Days ago I hid my power from showing or leaking out. It seems Akari didn't know about that so when I thought people might start looking at me funny I hid it. With the power Akari has his mana leaks off of him into the air around him as some sort of aura. If you could see that aura Akari would look like a terrifying foe. So that's hidden now. I say that so simply but even with his body's current state it's not easy to do. It seems the mage could see that aura so it's good I hid it. That didn't stop him from trying to use appraisal on me. The feeling you feel when someone casts appraisal on you is unlike no other. Though I did block it. When he questions me about it I fanned ignorance. It didn't seem to give them any closure. I'm planning on creating a fake stats page for when I get appraised but that will take some time. I hate this much attention, good or bad. I gotta get out of this room… Biggest plus for this day? I was given some unique food from the mage. It reminded me of old times. With that, I end this day.

Day 14: My daily routine has been changing slowly day by day yet today feels like a good day to comment about it. I can now walk without feeling like I'm about to pass out. The same goes for most of my skills. I've been using that to increase my recovery. Exercise is very important and I've been doing an extensive routine to help me out. At first, Kira wasn't on board with it but now she seems not only supportive of it but she's even been joining in. With that, my appetite has increased. Secretly acquiring school food has become my new profession. Going to the cafeteria is never my favorite but being able to take a little here and there from unsuspecting students makes it worth it. No classes yet. I can barely get around. I doubt I'm in the shape to start sparring with someone. I've blocked the spying spots in my room recently. Nobody seems to mind it. With some more secrecy, I'm able to do more of what I want. One of those includes magic circle building. It's not nearly my strongest thing to do but I still can make some basic spells with them. I can only make them every once and a while from the spare paper I'm able to get. You wouldn't believe how accurate you have to be with these things. I've only been able to make one so far. Mainly its own purpose is to spot any spells that are currently active around this room. That's how I was able to find the exact location of the spying spells. some other spells were found around my room as well. A weakening spell, Warding Spell, and calming spell. All of which I'm not concerned about. The most concerning one would most likely be the weakening spell won't even do anything in my state. The spell is supposed to limit the cap of strength not weaken the strength no matter how weak they are. For now, I'm better off keeping them there and just knowing about it. I do not want them to get more worried about me and try to activate more spells. Biggest plus for this day? I was able to grab a book with an interesting title. It was something about a "system' and "in another world". I hope all the books aren't titled so weirdly. With that, I end this day.

Day 20: Ren's "friends" annoy me so much I have taken the direction to try and be as accidentally rude around them. It also seems whenever they come to talk to me embarrassing things like them tripping randomly happens. For them, it's very oddly unlucky events that happen whenever they come near me and for me, they are purposeful attempts to try and get them to leave me alone. I doubt they'll catch on but they'll learn internally that at least coming near me is bad luck. By now my Exercise routine has become much more intense. At least Kira seems into it. It doesn't matter how many push-ups or how many sit-ups I do, Kira will do exactly one less than me. By now checking my stats reveals I'm about halfway back up to full strength. Since I never really lost any stats it's really not that bad. I can only imagine how hard this would be if I started from scratch. My excellent progress makes my plan begin earlier than I had thought. The main thing I want is to take a look at the dungeon I saw when I first got into this body. I have the feeling that it will be the next step toward my goal. I'll know I'm ready once I'm able to get to class. For right now the authorities of this military academy have deemed me not fit. Though I feel like that'll change soon. Some magic circles were made at this time. The important one is a magic circle I'll have on me at all times. This magic circle is made to grab the mana in the area and retain it. I changed it a bit so it would only grab my mana so now I don't have to try and hide my aura which by now was becoming impossible. I use this magic circle to power the two other circles in my room. One of them I already made and mentioned a while ago the newer one is made for illusion. All I need to do is imagine the scene and it will make whoever looks at it make that scene. This is of course for the spying mechanisms in my room. As they can now not be blocked so the school thinks they can see me but really they're just looking at my illusion. Another thing to try and make them more accepting of me is the fact I changed my stats with a simple illusion magic to change what it looks like to others. It seems messing around with the illusion magic circle enough gave me a skill to do this. According to the plan. Biggest plus for this day? I had a pleasant conversation with Kira today. It seems she's slowly becoming more opinionated. I'm starting to see some personality in her. With that, I end this day.

Day 25: This is it. With just a small chat with the principal, I was able to start returning to class like normal. Though it was so simple that I question his motives… The same with most people here. Everyone is to nice… I can only assume this is Authorities doing. It's true that skill soul are forbidden from knowing each other's power but that doesn't stop me from guessing. My guess? She's somehow able to change how people act in a way that helps her goals. Though I feel Akari might have done that too… Well, starting today I'll go to class but more importantly, I'll be checking out that cave I saw not too long ago. It will soon be time for me to truly shine. For now, I prepare for my first real interaction with this school and the students in it. Biggest plus for this day? I don't have to write in this journal. By now it's done everything I needed it to do. With that, I end this journal.

P.S. You made the right choice.
