Chapter 5

Well, that's good to know. I can just spam the skill on everyone here and level it up quickly. Taking a quick glance at my stats, I frown.

Sora Sakai - Level 1

Human - Normal

'Gaia, why haven't I gained any levels for getting [Observe] up?'

You only level up from defeating opponents…

Figures…

"You must be Sora Sakai." Sona's stern voice calls out to me as I reach her. "I'm Souna Shitori, the Student Council President here at Kuoh Academy."

That had to be the worst fake name anyone has ever given themselves. I hope she doesn't actually expect anyone to fall for it.

Putting a smile on my face, I stick my hand out to shake hers. "Nice to meet you."

Affection Check - Have: 0 / Required: 5

Failed!

Instead of shaking it, she glances at the outstretched hand briefly before giving a slight bow.

Right…in Japan they bow. That's gonna be hard to get used to.

And I failed my first check. Which I have to admit is a little disappointing, but I've only just arrived in this new universe. Give me some time, and I'll get it right.

"I will be taking you through a quick tour of the school before showing you to your classroom. Follow me." She orders, not bothering to wait for my response as she turns to walk into the building.

Well that was rude.

Shrugging helplessly, I follow just a few steps behind her as she directs me through the school, spamming [Observe] on every person we pass along the way. Just because I can't get my own levels from it, doesn't mean I can't work on maxing out the skill. I've always had a completionist personality, and having every skill maxed out was one of the main things I always did in a video game.

The tour is quick, but professional. Sona showed me the pool, gym, cafeteria, the Student Council Office, and the Main Office. The only thing I didn't get to see was the Occult Research Clubhouse, which had a barrier around it not unlike the one around my house, only not as strong without the Gamer System powering it. Eventually, the tour ends with her directing me to where my new classroom is.

It's nearly time for class to start when we arrive, and before Sona can open the door, someone comes sprinting through the hall towards the classroom a few doors down from to it.

It's a boy my age, with spiky brown hair that comes out at the neck like two tails, and a wrinkled uniform that's unbuttoned; showing off an even more wrinkled red shirt underneath. '[Observe].'

Issei Hyoudou - Level 1

Human - Normal

Affection: 0 | Obedience: 0

I guess the Boosted Gear hasn't awakened yet since he still counts as a normal human.

Still…this is the future Red Dragon Emperor? Yikes.

You look a gazillion times better than him.

'Aww, thank you Gaia.' She's so nice, it's like having my own personal cheerleader supporting me.

Issei's appearance clearly does him no favors with Sona, who's voice turns from professional to cold as she calls out. "You were nearly late, Hyoudou. And I see your uniform is out of order…fix it, or that will be a detention!" Glaring at him from behind her glasses, Issei cowers at the look.

"O-Of course!" Trying to flatten out the wrinkles, he gives up the hopeless attempt in favor of scurrying past us into his classroom. His pale face glancing back in our direction before he disappears behind the door.

Turning back to me, Sona huffs, "You'll need to introduce yourself before the class begins. If you have any further questions, you can ask one of the Student Council members. Good day." Without waiting for my response, she briskly walks away.

That was rude.

She's a meanie.

Glancing through the open door at the classroom full of young teens, I mentally prepare myself to go through school all over again. Before I died, I had already graduated college and gotten my Bachelors. So having to redo high school was going to be a pain in the ass.

Walking to the front of the classroom, the teacher notices my presence and quickly quiets down the class before motioning for me to speak.

"Hello. My name is Sora Sakai…"
