ShangriLa Frontier ~ Shitty Games Hunter Challenges Godly Game ~

Oh well, I guess that’s fine as well. Sometimes a healthy friendly relationship between a man and a woman is far better from a relationship where you are not really dating but one sides mistakenly starts to think so. Even though I am constantly dealing with all kinds of nutjobs and perverts in games, I feel like its knowing where to set certain boundaries that will make you live a happy life free of worries. And once you can live a worry-free life with a healthy mind and a healthy body, this is where the path towards Maximum Firepower is going to start to open to you……

「Speaking of which, Rei-san. How do you feel about Finals coming soon?」

「Final exams…… I should have no problem with those.」

「I would like to say that as well for a change…… Rei-san, if I remember correctly, you are also a Humanist, right? What would be your strongest subject? World history, perhaps?」

「No, that would actually be the Japanese History……」

「Ahh, in my case that would be the World History.」

As Takeda-san used to say, there is no harm in learning about the history of the world and its events, as to never repeat the same mistakes that were made in the past…… Surely, it is mostly played for jokes, but it’s something that can be really useful in a variety of situations. And if Takeda-san was saying so, then surely there is much truth to be learned from those words. Plus, his advices never turned out to be wrong or meaningless up until now…… Gamers can get insight by looking at various sources on the Internet, but for me, Takeda-san is the one and only wiki that I will ever need……

「Who is the teacher in charge of Japanese History? Souma-sensei?」

「Yes, that’s right, it’s Souma-sensei. He does a good job at teaching, but you need to be always wary of what you are doing during his classes. If you make a mistake or behave inappropriately, you might get the smack from the corner of a textbook.」

「No, no, no! Seki-sensei of World History is even better piece of work! He tends to put questions onto the tests that ask about optional trivia that he tells during classes, the ones that are not in the textbooks. So how about that?」

Seki-sensei, the teacher in charge of World History. He is most famous for once constructing a test that consisted of twenty open problems worth a total of one hundred or more points…… And if you were able to score about eighty points in this test of his you could consider yourself to be exceptionally gifted at World History, because people would usually score way below that…… Not to mention that his tests were always preluded with lots and lots of cramming and pulling all-nighters. But I have my Riot Blood now, so no test is ever going to take my by surprise, buahahahahaha!!!

「Well, I want to believe that if you keep to the main points, study hard keep above the average, your grades will keep themselves up on the average of B at the very least.」

「It will be alright, or I would like to be able to say it would be…… It’s not all that difficult…… No, but at the same time it is also not all that easy, I think.」

That’s why this is so annoying, a little above the middle is a trap that folds many player’s right in the middle of their adventure, placing them in a false comfort zone. That is something reasonably good and at the same time moderately dangerous. It’s something that you won’t do too well to be on alert all time, but it is also not good to be too tense about it either…… Well, I think it’s better to study hard, just to be on the safe side.

「Oh well, if your butt catches fire, the only thing you can really do is to run with all your might!」

「Ahaha … ………… Hmm?」

「What’s wrong?」

Upon arriving at the school, my tension seemed to sink a little bit…… Or when I realized that the tension had changed as a routine work almost every day. But then Rei-san suddenly turned her gaze in a strange direction, towards the school building.

「No, it’s just that……I felt as though someone was watching us?」

「Could it be that someone was looking here from the schoolyard?」

Thinking about it now, it really was that I could feel as if someone was staring at us from somewhere around the third floor of the school building. However, it would be quite literally impossible for us to be able to determine where exactly that stare was coming from…… or maybe it was all nothing but us imagining things. There are no classrooms on that floor, so that’s part of the reason. I don’t think students will go to such a place this early in the morning, and since the staff room is on the first floor, I don’t think teachers will go there, either. I wonder what’s around there…… It shouldn’t have been the preparation room, huh?

「I am sure that this is nothing more but my imagination playing tricks on me. Let’s go ahead.」

「Rei-san, what’s that room over there?」

「Huh? Umm…… Over there is the Principal’s Room, so the one over there is…… Over there is……」

–––––– It was the room that the Student Council was using.

「Ahh……」

So, it was either someone from the Student Council or someone allowed to go in there. With a refreshing feeling that the trivial question has been resolved, we proceed to the school building. No matter how you are at the forefront of the game, a game is just a game, and that’s that. But in real life, I am nothing more but a high school student. And that’s why……………

「How’s it going, Mister Love Poet? If you manage to get yourself a red dot modern Japanese, you will also get a perfect score on every other subject as a form of a gag! Who does that kind of thing?」

「Hey, man, watch it! Who says things like that first thing in the morning!? It’s confusing as all hell! Besides, what was that? Mister Love Who?」

「Who there! Here at the All Japan Arm Wrestling Championship there is only one way to get your questions answered; we duke it out with an Arm Wrestling Match! Only then you shall obtain what you seek!」

「No, seriously, who does that first thing in the morning!?」

「The morning assembly is coming soon, you know?」

「You are going to get there on time provided that you are going to win two out of three skirmishes.」

I guess that things like that are also what we call youth.
