Sebastian looked at the equally enthusiastic white-haired uncle in front of him and hesitated for a moment whether to tell him about his troubles.

After all, the kind bar owner I met before brought me to those two devils.

It's hard to imagine how I would escape if this uncle sent me to a similar place again.

But in general, those few mission points are still quite attractive. No matter what, I still have to give it a try. At worst, if things don't go well, I can just run away.

So, Sebastian organized his words and looked up at the uncle in front of him:

"Well, I'm a freshman at Izu University this year, an international student. I had some unexpected problems with my living expenses, so I wanted to see if there's a part-time job that's suitable for me."

"Oh, you're a freshman at Izu University!"

The white-haired uncle looked at Sebastian with some surprise. Sebastian did not hesitate to take out his admission letter and certificates from his pocket and show them to the other party.

"Mechanical Engineering? What a coincidence! I have a daughter who is also a freshman this year and is also majoring in this subject."

The uncle looked somewhat happy. He returned the certificate and notice to Sebastian, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:

"My shop provides diving services. Since school is about to start, my daughter, who used to be able to help at home, has to be busy with school matters recently, so we are a little short of manpower. I wonder if you are interested in learning more about it?"

Suddenly, the uncle seemed to remember something and added with a smile:

"Come to think of it, I have a nephew who will be admitted to Izu University this year, and I will pick him up the day after tomorrow."

"Working here? Really?"

Sebastian was somewhat tempted by the uncle's proposal. Although this was not a job he was good at, it was a job opportunity right in front of him after all. Give it a try and it's pretty good to get some task points.

"It's okay. After all, we are short of manpower right now. Besides, you might be my daughter's classmate, so it's okay to do a little favor. By the way, working in our store will provide food and lodging. Since you are a foreign student, you can also adapt to your future life here. How about it?"

Sebastian, who was already somewhat tempted, nodded without hesitation when he heard the other party said that food and accommodation were provided.

"Thank you, uncle. I'm willing to give it a try!"

....

In the following morning, this middle-aged man with gray hair took Sebastian to learn a little about the working conditions in the store and the part he was responsible for.

Simply put, Sebastian is responsible for reception work, greeting new guests and registering their information.

In addition, he also needs to collect the swimming equipment used by guests and disinfect and clean it.

Neither of these tasks requires any special skills. Sebastian got the hang of it quickly, and after a morning of training, he was able to do the job very well.

"Haha, you're worthy of being a top student at Izu University! You're a fast learner."

The boss leaned against the wall behind Sebastian, his arms folded, and smiled, watching him with satisfaction as he served another group of customers and left.

"No, these are just simple tasks." Sebastian felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

During the previous conversation, he learned that the gray-haired middle-aged store manager was named Toshio Kotegawa, and that he seemed to have been running the store for a long time, and it could almost be considered a family business.

He seemed to have two daughters, but the store was busy today, so they were both out leading people diving, and Sebastian didn't see them.

"It's almost noon, Sebastian, you should take a rest first. I'll go make you some food. How about fried noodles for lunch today?"

Toshio Furukawa asked Sebastian with a smile.

"Sure. Thank you for your help!" Sebastian, who had only eaten one meal in two days, nodded quickly.

Soon, a large plate of steaming Japanese fried noodles was served on the table. There were only Sebastian and the boss at the table. However, because Sebastian was so hungry, he ate nearly 3/4 of the meal by himself, which made the boss a little dazed.

"Is this enough? Or should I fry some more?" Looking at Sebastian who seemed unsatisfied, the boss asked hesitantly.

"No, no thanks. I'm already full, thanks to you." Sebastian touched his stomach with satisfaction.

"Haha, it's great to be young. When I was young, I could eat as much as you do. But now I'm old and my appetite is not as good as before."

The uncle smiled, raised his arm, and showed off his strong muscles:

"Diving consumes a lot of energy. If someone can't eat, then we can conclude that he won't be a good diver."

Sebastian looked at the store manager who seemed a little emotional and quickly praised him a few words. The lunch ended in a harmonious atmosphere.

The boss had to go out in the afternoon, so he lent Sebastian a work cell phone, and then left Sebastian alone at the front desk to receive guests who had made appointments in advance.

After a full lunch at noon, Sebastian sat at the front desk, his chin in his hand, feeling a bit lazy in the afternoon.

It was clearly my first day at work, but my boss left me alone in the store while he went out. Should I say that he trusts me a lot?

Sebastian squinted his eyes in enjoyment, watching the afternoon sun shining into the store through the crack in the door.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered his mission, and forced himself to suppress his sleepiness and opened his attribute panel.

Sure enough, that little bit of mission points had been transferred to my account, and now I already had two mission points.

Although I cannot buy those special professions or the status of a heavenly civil servant, if I save up a little more, I should be able to buy one of those fruits that can enhance my physical fitness.

"But I still don't know what the effect of the fruit is..." He thought so, but his eyes glanced at the main task column again.

"Successfully obtain the Izu University diploma, and receive a 500-point mission reward."

"500 quest points, that's almost enough to buy 100 attribute enhancement fruits."

Sebastian smacked his lips, imagining himself blowing a mountain apart with one punch.

However, those are still a little unrealistic for me now. The most urgent thing is for me to consider the advancement of the main task.

Sebastian, who was lazily lying on the chair, slowly sat up straight. His eyes gradually changed from lazy to clear and then to firm.

Suddenly, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened them again.

"Three Strategies of Heaven and Man!"

...

Well, there is no such ability. He was just organizing his thoughts and writing down three possible ways to complete the task on the paper in front of him: top, middle and bottom.

"The best strategy: use the two existing mission points to exchange for two kitchen knives, break into the principal's office, force the principal to sign a graduation certificate for you, and then immediately ascend to leave this world."

"Middle plan: exchange the two existing mission points for cash, which is 20,000 yen , use this large sum of money to bribe the principal, ask him to sign a graduation certificate for you, and then ascend and leave this place immediately."

"The worst option is to study hard and take exams, then get your diploma and leave in four years."

"Huh, this is a tough decision." Sebastian let out a breath, looked at the three strategies he had written, and then tore up the papers.

The first two are nonsense, and the third one is as good as nothing.

But people always have to think, right? If the brain is not used for a long time, it will become rigid. In short, Sebastian maintained this mentality.

While he was brainstorming, the door of the Blue Sea shop was suddenly pushed open.

"Ah, welcome..."

Sebastian thought that the guest who had made an appointment had arrived early, so he quickly stood up to greet him. But when he saw who was coming, his smiling face suddenly froze.

"Wow, what a coincidence, Sebastian!"

"Look, I told you, Ryujiro! If we are destined to meet, we will eventually meet. Right, Sebastian?"

Under Sebastian's dull gaze, two oversized muscular men, ryujiro Kotobuki and Shinji Tokita, squeezed into the store on the left and right. The two men grinned and gave Sebastian a ferocious yet friendly smile.
