Chapter 34: The Youth Decides to Advance Without Scruples

It was a little different from yesterday.

After showering, Qingshan Li felt full of energy.

Physical Strength and the evaluation of Physical Strength hadn't risen, but——

【Fitness Book: 36%】

It had gone up a full 10%.

Worthy of System Guidance, it took effect fast.

But looking at the overnight curry for breakfast, Qingshan Li felt the System was still too slow.

【Campus Mystery, Main Ability is Beauty: 92.9%】

He read mystery books for two hours last night, and it went up another 0.2.

Soon, he could start considering finding a Publisher.

After eating breakfast, the three of them went to Kitasenju Station, starting their forty-minute commute to school.

At the entrance of Kaimei High School, besides the Student Council people, there were also extremely formal security guards.

Even the Cultural Festival was invitation-only; outsiders could only enter to visit if they obtained an invitation.

Walking onto the Campus, the Cheerleading Club in Sportswear was already practicing.

Sports Clubs were training physical fitness on the Playground.

The sound of Instruments drifted as if from afar, melodious and ethereal, making one unable to help but stop and listen.

"The Club President plans to start morning practice too recently." Ono Mizuki said.

"Then you'll have to get up early." Qingshan Li said.

"It'd be nice if we could make it to the Competition." Ono Mika encouraged.

The three walked together to the Teaching Building.

The new semester had already started three weeks ago; whether it was Kobayashi Shiki's Soccer Club or Aizawa Jun's Kendo Club, they had all started morning practice, so they didn't run into them on the way to school.

Arriving at Class 2-4, not long after sitting down, Qingshan Li let out a yawn.

He went to sleep at 1:30 last night, got up at four, only slept two and a half hours.

But if you had to say what Qingshan Li's strengths were, besides being handsome, it was only that he needed little sleep.

Who knows if it was trained from working night shifts before.

Moreover, his sleep quality has been very good lately——pain and fatigue have benefits too.

Many people who achieved great undertakings once gained this kind of benefit.

Before First Period, Akita Shio announced at the morning assembly that the Ball Games Tournament would be held the first week of May.

"This year's competitive Items are volleyball and basketball, fun Items are baseball, table tennis."

"Why did baseball become a fun Item?!"

"What about soccer, Teacher, soccer isn't even a fun Item?!"

"Why isn't dodgeball a fun Item?!"

"This is the School's arrangement, the Teacher can't do anything about it either." Akita Shio smiled, "Also, participating in what Item is completely voluntary, but the School Rules stipulate that this Ball Games Tournament, everyone must play at least once."

【Campus Romance Daily Life: 76%】

——What does the Ball Games Tournament have to do with Romance? System, have you gone crazy?

But it was said before too, every time the System successfully collects Material, some ideas appear in Qingshan Li's mind.

Just now at that moment, he indeed fantasized about abusing Mikami Ai's class at the Ball Games Tournament, and in the end Mikami Ai could only use her trump card, using her beauty to beg him to go easy.

Ah, just a youth's wild thoughts, no need to take seriously.

He wouldn't waste Stamina using the System on things with no Benefit, just like no guy would waste Stamina on a trash porno.

He finished four classes with decent focus, Qingshan Li glanced at his notes, confirmed they were all written down, then went to the Cafeteria to eat.

This was the only meal where he could both eat well and eat his fill.

"Qingshan, over here!" Kobayashi Shiki waved.

Staying with these Sports Club people, Qingshan Li's extraordinary appetite wasn't surprising.

——System, eat!

The System didn't respond.

——Never seen a System this bad that won't even eat on its own!

While eating grilled fish to supplement protein, Qingshan Li spoke up: "Aizawa, I watched Kendo yesterday and suddenly got a little interested, can you lend me a Bamboo Sword?"

"Wouldn't joining the Kendo Club directly be more convenient?" Aizawa Jun said, "Practicing alone is hard, you'll lose Enthusiasm quickly."

"You also know, because I can't refuse the temptation of Beauty, I joined the Athens Philosophy Research Club, I'm not giving up a Beauty for Kendo!"

"You did right, Qingshan!" Kobayashi Shiki fully agreed.

"It's fine." Aizawa Jun smiled, "It's fine even if you don't come practice."

"What are you talking nonsense about?" Kobayashi Shiki didn't believe it.

Clubs at Kaimei High School were strict; leaving early could be slightly tolerated, but absence was absolutely not allowed.

"I told my dad I'd work hard to become a regular player, my dad decided yesterday to donate some money to Kendo."

Qingshan Li, Kobayashi Shiki: "Oh~~~"

"The forward position, I should've already secured it." Aizawa Jun showed a simple, honest smile.

"Money, is the true Sword!" Qingshan Li exclaimed.

"Your dad's really nice," Kobayashi Shiki envied, "When will I get fatherly love like that, to buy all of Klose's jerseys!"

"I want to get into Keio later and become a police officer," Aizawa Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, "Dad said, learning Kendo is beneficial for both getting into Keio and becoming a police officer."

There was one more thing he didn't say.

His father would take him to meet police figures who had graduated from Keio, most of whom had been members of the Keio Kendo Club and were still active in police kendo competitions.

"Then I'll trouble you," Qingshan Li said.

"I'll prepare a new set of protective gear and a new bamboo sword for you."

"No need!" Qingshan Li hurriedly said, "I'm just playing around."

"It's fine, very convenient, Qingshan." Aizawa Jun put a mouthful of black pepper roasted chicken into his mouth.

"Qingshan, look." Kobayashi Shiki took out his mobile phone.

"What?"

"Soccer highlight reel!"

He also wanted Qingshan Li to become interested in soccer.

Can soccer be practiced alone? Hard to say, anyway it's not as convenient as kendo.

Qingshan Li was now only interested in things that could be practiced alone.

After lunch, the two went to their clubs, while Qingshan Li went to the infirmary, where Ono Mika was already waiting at the doorway.

The girl in a uniform suit and pleated skirt squatted in the corner, holding English vocabulary cards in her hands.

Spring sunlight fell on her small leather shoes.

"Sister."

Ono Mika came back to her senses, raised her head, and glanced.

She stood up, suddenly staggered, and Qingshan Li hurriedly supported her.

"Compared to me, you should be the one getting checked," he said with some concern.

"Just stood up suddenly, a temporary drop in blood pressure causing insufficient blood supply to the brain!"

Perhaps.

Or perhaps not.

If there was money, he could go get checked tomorrow, but now not only was there no money to get checked, even if something was found there was no money to treat it.

The two walked into the infirmary.

The robot-like exquisite teacher Kuze Oto examined Qingshan Li.

"No problem, very healthy," she said.

"But his complexion has been very pale," Ono Mika said softly.

"Insufficient nutrition, supplement nutrition," Kuze Oto said.

Ono Mika's hands clenched into fists.

"Thank you, teacher."

"Mm."

The two left the infirmary, sunlight bright on the retro corridor.

"I told you I'm fine, right," Qingshan Li said with a laugh.

"Meal fees will increase from now on!" Ono Mika announced without allowing protest.

Qingshan Li was stunned for a moment, looking at the girl of one meter sixty-two before him, he laughed: "Okay~"

How could one let a blossoming young girl worry about money?

"What's wrong?" Kuze Oto, who was using the computer to answer students' psychological questions, raised her head and looked at Qingshan Li who had returned.

"Teacher, this afternoon, and tomorrow morning, I want to take leave," he said.

"What's the reason?"

"You can say I have acute gastroenteritis."

"What's the reason?" Kuze Oto asked again.

"Teacher, I have something I must do."

Kuze Oto did nothing but blink, with no other movement, just placing both hands on the table.

"Are you going to fight monsters or aliens?" she asked.

"Teacher, I beg you, just this once, I promise I won't do anything violating school rules and the law!" Qingshan Li bowed his head.

"Tell me, what do you plan to do?"

Qingshan Li maintained his bowing posture without moving.

"Then I can't help you," Kuze Oto said, her gaze returning to the computer.

As expected, no good.

Qingshan Li wanted to go home, use 【Reading】 to read mystery novels, and complete material collection for 【Campus Mystery, Main Ability is Beauty】.

Leave failed, and who knew if a Saturday afternoon and a Sunday would be enough time.

After school, Qingshan Li came to the Yaken Club.

"Where did you go at noon?" On Mikami Ai's elegant classical face, her expression was very off.

"Mikami classmate, a cold expression suits you too," Qingshan Li said, not entirely flattering.

"I·ask·you," Mikami Ai said, stepping closer one step at a time, "where did you go at noon?"

Qingshan Li retreated.

Just as he lifted his foot, Mikami Ai grabbed his tie, her gaze like two ice blades pressed against him.

"My body felt a bit unwell, I went to the infirmary, Teacher Kuze Oto can testify for me!" he said.

"Did you forget that before school ends today we have to submit the Game Club's review to the Student Council?"

"No! Absolutely not! It was really because I was sick that I didn't come!"

Mikami Ai stared at him for a while, then released his tie.

What Qingshan Li retrieved wasn't a tie, but his own heartbeat.

【Campus Mystery, Main Ability is Beauty: 93.3%】

Surging!

Is it because Mikami Ai got angry? Showing a side rarely seen normally?

"Did you go to the Game Club at noon today?" he probed nervously.

"I went." Mikami Ai brushed her black hair as if sweeping away negative emotions, "Got beaten so badly I could only return to my own territory, killed my subordinates who stood by watching to vent my anger."

"Stood by watching. I haven't played games much either."

The few strands of black hair Mikami Ai had just brushed away ran back to her lips, setting off her snow-white face with an inhuman beauty.

"But!" Qingshan Li said, "For you, I'll do my utmost!"

"Really?"

"I guarantee it."

If he could make Mikami Ai overjoyed, would the Progress Bar advance further?
