Chapter 2: Trait: Rebellion

"Nothing?"

Nagi Sanzenin looked at the notebook in her hand and suddenly understood.

"So that's it, there's this classic setting as well."

The setting where, because one is not the owner of the notebook, one cannot see it.

"Well~ Maria isn't the chosen one, so it's normal that she can't see it."

"This child has really started again, hasn't she?"

Hearing this, Maria felt almost instinctively that Nagi's "illness" had flared up again.

Every time, the severity of the complications could determine her final state of busyness.

Maria was now praying, hoping that Nagi's current episode wouldn't be too troublesome.

As for the issue of resistance, Maria had already chosen to give up.

Anyway, this child had always had a three-minute attention span; after this time passed, she would definitely return to her normal state. Maria was very certain of this.

"Alright, what are you interested in this time?"

"A person who makes me feel very interested."

Nagi Sanzenin didn't bother correcting Maria's attitude; anyway, she only needed Maria to help her investigate that person now.

Maria wasn't the chosen one, so explaining for a long time would be useless if she couldn't see it.

"What's his name?"

"Ren Amamiya."

"Age?"

"Should be between 15 and 17."

"Where does he live?"

"I don't know specifically, but I know it's in Beika City."

Maria immediately felt a hint of something wrong.

Knowing the name, the age, and even the specific city.

Beika City, is that the very famous city with a high rate of cases?

Although the case discovery rate in every city is very high, such things are relatively common in Japan, but Beika City is a leader among them.

And Nagi specifically named Beika City this time; it was clearly not an accident, but a certainty.

But Maria was also certain that in these days, Nagi had indeed not left the villa's grounds, let alone come into contact with a person named "Ren Amamiya."

"Could it be that Nagi isn't playing some new game this time?"

Maria still went to investigate with a skeptical attitude.

The Sanzenin family's intelligence work was quite good; they had their own intelligence channels all over the world. Intelligence channels require money to build, and the Sanzenin family was never short of money.

Because they weren't short of money, the clues of "Beika City," "Ren Amamiya," and "15 to 17 years old" quickly turned into a specific personal file.

"It really is a very simple life experience."

The personal file was written very clearly and explicitly.

[Introverted, gloomy personality, not good at socializing, has not built a good social network.]

[Relationship with classmates at school is average, no friends to speak of.]

[No bad habits, has not left any traces on the internet.]

[Grew up in an orphanage since childhood, no parental records.]

[Works part-time on weekends, living is correspondingly frugal.]

"No bad habits, no traces on the internet, poor social skills, no parents, frugal living... he is completely a boy with a blank identity."

Let's look at the photo.

"Half of his face is covered by glasses, his curly hair is slightly long, unkempt, not good at grooming."

"This should be the reason why his social life is poor."

The person in the photo doesn't look too bad, just doesn't manage his appearance much, looking quite ordinary.

But from Maria's perspective, at least this boy can be considered handsome.

But this is another question that makes Maria strange.

"Why would Nagi specifically look for this person?"

"Being able to say the name, age, and general location, he should be someone Nagi knows. But this boy doesn't look like someone Nagi could have contact with."

Maria wasn't talking about identity or background, but that there was no intersection between this boy and Nagi.

Nagi often leaves messages on the internet, but this boy hasn't left any traces on the internet.

So how did Nagi and this boy get to know each other?

Maria was very puzzled.

In a large apartment in Beika City that had once had an accident and thus became very cheap, Ren Amamiya was bathing.

After purifying his body, Ren Amamiya opened the diary with a pious heart.

Text left by black lacquer ink suddenly appeared on the diary.

[First day's diary completed.]

[Achievement unlocked: First Time.]

[Roulette prize pool opened.]

A phantom of a large spinning wheel appeared in front of Ren Amamiya.

There was a winning indicator on it, and the large wheel was divided into many sections, each with a corresponding name written on it.

[Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Reborn!, Negima!, A Certain Magical Index, Persona, Demon Slayer, Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, Marvel, Genshin Impact, Fate, High School DxD, Daoist Gu, Lord of the Mysteries...]

There were many items, many of which Ren Amamiya could understand and accept; of course, among these understandable ranges, there was one he couldn't quite accept.

For example, Daoist Gu.

Ren Amamiya opened his mouth and immediately crossed his hands, praying very piously.

"Except for Daoist Gu, I can accept anything else!"

He knew about Daoist Gu before he transmigrated and was reborn, but it was limited to just knowing.

Because it was too famous, many memes appeared, just like how you absolutely cannot be named Li Huowang after transmigrating, otherwise it would be easier to just commit suicide.

Ren Amamiya hadn't read Daoist Gu himself, but he knew the stories and settings inside were very insane, even more insane than Lord of the Mysteries, a Cthulhu-style novel.

He didn't want to have to bear this madness because of a lucky draw.

As an ordinary person, he couldn't handle it.

After praying, he reached out to touch the large wheel; even though it was just a light touch, the wheel spun at a very high speed.

Slowly, the large wheel stopped.

It stopped at the position of "Persona."

[Obtained trait: Rebellion.]

"Rebellion? The trait of the protagonist in Persona that can accommodate multiple Personas?"

Ren Amamiya could understand, but he was a little disappointed.

"It seems that purifying the body is of no use for increasing luck."

He continued to check the introduction of "Rebellion," and then saw the introduction of this trait more clearly.

[Rebellion: Can accommodate multiple different types of personalities while maintaining the uniqueness of the autonomous personality.]

"Hmm, it is indeed the trait possessed by the Persona protagonist. It is a trait possessed because the protagonist needs to be able to use multiple Personas."

"Personas are parts of the self-personality, existing with various emotions and consciousnesses. Theoretically, everyone who awakens a Persona can only possess one Persona; only the protagonist with the 'Rebellion' trait can possess multiple Personas."

"However, here, its use for me should only be... preventing me from becoming mentally ill?"

Maintaining the uniqueness of the autonomous personality, isn't that just not developing symptoms of mental illness?

But in a normal world, unless suppressed to a certain degree, normal people would at most be depressed, not develop schizophrenia.

It's useful, but not much.
