Chapter 53: A Day With 61 Days Until the Koshien Preliminaries Countdown
At four o'clock, Qingshan Li woke up.
His consciousness was thoroughly clear — was it because of the novel? Or because he was afraid of waking the Ono Sisters beside him?
He carefully got up, stepping over the two sisters with their terrible sleeping postures, and left the room.
Returning to his own bedroom, he took off his sportswear and did slow push-ups and wall sits one after another.
Only the sound of breathing filled the room.
One, two, three.
At ten he felt tired; at thirty-five his left and right muscles began to fatigue; fifty was his limit.
Fifty-three — no matter how much he wanted to continue, his body would not cooperate.
Before, relying on System Guidance, he went a full two hours without stopping, filled with motivation like human desire itself.
Qingshan Li did not force himself; he stopped to rest for a while, then started training once again.
Half an hour later, drenched in sweat, he went to shower; today he did not run into Ono Mika or Ono Mizuki.
After showering, he directly changed into his school uniform, sat at the low table, took out manuscript paper and pen, and began writing the novel.
A sky-soaring brainstorming session, a world exquisite to the utmost, was born on the manuscript paper.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a sweet little face poked in: "Brother, time to eat!"
"Coming right up!"
"Your room stinks so bad!" The door slammed shut with a bang.
Qingshan Li smiled; usually after exercising he would open the window for ventilation, but today he forgot because he was writing the novel.
He stood up, opened the window, and walked out holding the manuscript paper.
"Here." He handed the manuscript paper to the two sisters while sitting down.
"What is this?"
"There's a continuation?!"
Taking a bite of the overnight stew, Qingshan Li half-teasingly urged: "Hurry up and eat, you still have to go to school later."
Too late.
The two sisters had already been hypnotized by the novel.
After finishing it, Ono Mizuki read it again.
Ono Mika said to Qingshan Li: "Li, absolutely no problem, same as before, absolutely wonderful!"
Qingshan Li knew that of course, but for Ono Mika who didn't know about the System, she might think Qingshan Li himself would also worry whether he could maintain the standard.
She was comforting him, encouraging him.
"Buy a house, let's go travel!" Qingshan Li laughed, eating big mouthfuls; whether exercise or brainwork, both consumed a lot of energy.
Happiness can sometimes make the appetite wide open.
The three happily went out.
The sky was azure, the green leaves fresh green, roses blooming in the flower beds.
The last week of April — their spring seemed to have truly arrived only now.
Boarding the train, Ono Mika said: "Li, remember to give the new content to Miue Junior and Miyase Junior."
Qingshan Li smiled and nodded: "They're the Publishing Party and Sponsor, I can't let them down."
"Buy a house near the school, Onii-chan, lend me your phone~"
"Mizuki, you're just as gross as me."
"Shut up, give it to me!"
"Yes!"
Ono Mizuki started searching for real estate info, not caring about the swaying train at all, her focus level the same as when reading the manuscript.
Qingshan Li shielded her petite body, turning her into a not-tumbler.
Ono Mika smiled watching the two: "You two, no matter how much you daydream, don't forget to study!"
"Sister Mika, you too." Qingshan Li said with a smile.
Ono Mika huffed, raised her hand, feinting a punch at him.
The train suddenly shook; Ono Mika's hand landed on Qingshan Li, turning from a fist into a support.
"Sorry, please don't crowd, my feet are almost off the ground!" Qingshan Li raised his voice slightly, speaking to the people nearby.
The surrounding space became slightly more spacious, but it only lasted ten seconds before returning to how it was.
Qingshan Li didn't mind either; the reason he spoke up was because his mood was good, so he teased life a little.
The closer they got to Kaimei High School, the more people wearing the same school uniform appeared, until everyone around them wore the same clothes — they had arrived.
People wearing Student Council armbands patrolled the school gate, imposing, as if the school were a prison and the Student Council the jailers.
Walking into the campus, they could hear the sounds of sports clubs on the playground.
"Run!"
"You can't even catch that kind of ball, get lost! Funatsuki, your turn!"
Passing the baseball field, at some point a banner had been added to the fence, reading '61 Days Until the National High School Baseball Championship Preliminaries Countdown'.
— System, Novel, High School Baseball Koshien
【Koshien Established, 1%】
Forget it.
With the accumulation from the first novel, continuing to write mystery or beautiful girls would be faster.
— System, Novel, Two Beautiful High School Girls Competing and Growing Together on Campus
【Insufficient Intelligence, Insufficient Stamina, Creation Failed】
Low intelligence, and kidney deficiency too?
But insulting the system was useless; Qingshan Li acted as if he hadn't heard.
Is the novel to be written too complex, or has the quantity reached its limit?
The shouts of the Track and Field Club reached his ears.
——System, Novel, High School Track and Field Club
【Insufficient Intelligence, Insufficient Stamina, Creation Failed】
It seems, with his current intelligence and stamina, he can at most collect material for 4 novels simultaneously: 'Fitness', 'Campus Romance Daily Life', 'Kendo Gyokuryuki', 'Koshien'.
'Campus Mystery, Main Ability is Beauty' has already finished material collection and does not occupy a slot.
He subconsciously wanted to delete 'Koshien', but just before the command was sent, he suddenly hesitated.
'Koshien' is indeed useless, but it fits his identity very well; the one that should be deleted most is 'Fitness'.
The item casually established during the initial experiment, upon careful thought, is actually quite abrupt for a high school student with no fitness experience.
Moreover, 'Fitness' mainly collects material from the system; leaving aside whether the system's guidance is suitable for others, just the fitness methods involved in the system, are they really suitable for public release?
What if someone accidentally gets too good an effect, becomes too strong — is there a risk of exposure?
——System, delete 'Fitness' material collection.
【Deleted】
Walking into the Teaching Building, while changing shoes at the Shoe Cabinet, the Brass Band Club's practice sounds drifted faintly.
——System, Novel, Brass Band Club
【'Brass Band Club' established, 1%, 2%】
This one is also abandoned.
But not deleted immediately.
Koshien and Brass Band Club, Qingshan Li will keep them on top for now; when he thinks of a better direction, replacing them won't be late.
"Where did you go play on Sunday?"
"Don't mention it, cram school from morning to night."
"Busy with Club Activities the whole time."
"Did you watch that TV drama? Super hot-blooded, I cried watching it!"
Everyone in the Classroom chatted idly until Class Monitor Akita Shio walked in.
She scanned everyone one by one, smiling as she asked: "Did everyone have a happy Sunday?"
"Happy!"
"Not happy~"
"Without Teacher Akita, how could I possibly be happy!"
"Matsumura!"
After a bout of laughter and noise, Akita Shio clapped her hands, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Next, start the class meeting." She said, "Everyone should know about this week's Monthly Exam, Thursday and Friday two days, holiday starts directly after exams."
The Classroom stirred.
Some for the holiday, some because of the exam.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Akita Shio clapped three times, making everyone stay quiet, "One more thing, the Golden Week vacation time is May 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th."
"Oh!" The students burst into cheers.
"But! Starting May 4th, every afternoon you must come to school to prepare for the Ball Games Tournament! The Ball Games Tournament is on May 6th, which is the last day of the holiday."
"How can this be!"
"Fraud!"
"I'll report Kaiming to the Ministry of Education!"
"Idiot, Kaiming is private!"
"Work hard for exams, be happy for the holiday, enjoy the Ball Games Tournament to the fullest!" Akita Shio encouraged.
Qingshan Li previously had no interest in campus activities, but after reading an A-Level Mystery Novel, he wanted to see more A-Level Novels filled with the same magic.
To write such a novel, experience is indispensable.
Enjoy life while writing novels while making money.
"Classmate Aoyama, everyone must participate in the Ball Games Tournament at least once, what event do you plan to join?" The Basketball Girl sitting in the Protagonist's Special Seat asked secretly.
Competitive events are Volleyball and Basketball, fun events are Baseball, Table Tennis.
"Baseball." Qingshan Li said, not too sure.
The reason is simple, this is a fun event, and there's the 【Koshien: 1%】 he established when casting a wide net.
