"It's because I'm too timid that I don't want to see any player become stronger than me, and I don't want to be a weakling who can be bullied at will. So, I won't hesitate, nor will I stagnate."
After hearing this, Yuuki Asuna was silent for a few seconds, then she sighed slightly and said with a complicated expression.
"You're really not normal. By the way, where did you get that pistol from? And what did that action of shooting yourself in the temple mean?"
"You mean this?"
The black pistol appeared in Asagiri's hand again and was handed to Yuuki Asuna.
"This thing isn't actually a real gun. It can't fire bullets. It's a special item that condenses the power within me and is used to summon my personality mask. The act of pulling the trigger on myself symbolizes the fear of facing death."
Yuuki Asuna nodded as if she understood, then frowned slightly.
"If this thing is stolen or lost, will you be unable to summon your personality mask?"
"How can it be."
Asagiri shook his head and threw the black pistol in his hand far away. The next second, the black pistol disappeared, and an identical gun appeared in his hand.
"I've already said that this is the product of my inner strength. I can summon it at any time. As for it being snatched away by someone... Come on, try touching it."
Seeing Asagiri's smiling face, Yuuki Asuna always felt that the other party seemed to be expecting something, but after all, practice makes perfect. As teammates who will conquer the dungeon together in the future, it is still necessary to fully understand each other's abilities.
Thinking of this, she tentatively stretched out her fair and slender right hand and carefully placed her fingertips on the gun in Asagiri's hand.
The moment she touched the gun body, Yuuki Asuna's pupils suddenly dilated and her body couldn't help but tremble. After just a slight contact, she quickly withdrew her hand, her breathing became rapid, and she gasped with lingering fear.
"What the hell is this..."
At that moment, Yuuki Asuna felt a fear that could not be described in words, as if the concept of "death" suddenly had a concrete image and appeared in front of her.
Despair, fear, trembling.
"This is what it feels like to face death, understand?"
"I see..."
Asuna Yuuki gently stroked her chest and calmed herself down a little, then she noticed that Asagiri was staring at her with interest.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to admire the beautiful girl pretending to be strong, with tears in her eyes and her body trembling when facing intense fear."
"Who...who has tears in their eyes!"
Asuna Yuuki retorted while taking out a pack of tissues from her pocket, took out one and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Just when she was about to say something, her cell phone suddenly rang. She took it out and saw a line of text appearing on the screen.
[The time limit for this instance has expired. You will leave in ten seconds.]
"Time is up."
Asagiri also saw the same sentence on his mobile phone. He picked up the chainsaw and electric drill on the ground, and threw away the books and magazines that were originally used for protection. Then, he raised his head and smiled at Yuuki Asuna.
"Well then, Yuuki-kun, we'll see you at school."
012 The first day at Shuchiin
Accompanied by a thick red mist, Asagiri reappeared in his home.
"You're back..."
Feeling the comfort and softness of the expensive sofa, Asagiri did not relax immediately, but looked down first.
On the white sofa, there were two black lines that he had drawn with a ballpoint pen along the outside of his legs before entering the copy. Now, the two black lines, one on the left and one on the right, just fit the edges of his legs.
"It seems that after leaving the dungeon, I will appear in the exact same position as before entering. Even the posture will not change."
After confirming this, Chaowu raised his head and glanced at the wall clock in the living room. The time was the same as the time on his cell phone. It was now six o'clock in the morning. An hour had passed in the copy, and an hour had also passed in the real world. The flow of time was synchronized.
Asagiri placed the electric saw and electric drill in his hands on the coffee table in front of him, then took out his mobile phone and clicked on the APP with the eye icon. Sure enough, several lines of new fonts appeared.
[Congratulations on completing your first dungeon. Here are some things to note]
[1. Ordinary people who are not players cannot observe the APP in your phone]
[2. The APP is not bound to the phone, but to the player himself. You can change the phone at any time, and the APP will appear on the phone you are currently using. There is no need to worry about accidentally losing the phone or damaging the phone.]
3. Each time you enter a dungeon, you cannot bring real-world tools, equipment, props, weapons, or armor. You cannot use real-world items to disguise your appearance. Players are only allowed to enter the dungeon in their everyday clothes.
[4. Each time before entering a dungeon, you will receive a reminder three days in advance. Players must complete a dungeon at least once a month. If you exceed the specified time limit, you will be forcibly transferred to a random dungeon.]
5. You can choose to actively enter the dungeon from the app function (you will need to wait three days and cannot enter immediately. There is at least one week between each dungeon). If the player has achieved an A- or higher level clearance rating in the previous dungeon, they will receive a special reminder when entering the dungeon.
[Time remaining until the next time you can enter the dungeon: 0]
"Are newbie dungeons not included in the cooldown time for entering dungeons? That's pretty humane."
Asagiri nodded with great satisfaction. After all, for him, the more times he entered the dungeon, the better. He had received an S+ clearance rating reward in the novice dungeon, but this was only the first step. He had to grow as quickly as possible in a snowballing manner to ensure that he was the strongest among all players.
After all, this is a world formed by the integration of various comics. Although he has not discovered any supernatural powers yet, there are many powerful characters in those daily comics.
There are many such people in the high school department of the private Shuchiin Academy where he is about to enter.
After reading these tips, Asagiri opened his panel as a player in the APP. Of course, the personality mask was his own power, and even without the APP, he knew how to use it and its specific effects.
[Current personality mask: Human Shura]
[Human Shura: Facing the fear of death, the personality mask born from your heart]
[Strengths: Strength, Endurance, Defense, Speed, Agility]
[Weakness: No long-range attack]
[Human Shura's Passive: When you switch to this personality mask, your physical fitness will be strengthened. And because Human Shura represents an unshakable firm will, you will be immune to illusions, brainwashing, hypnosis, and all mental attacks.]
[Corresponding Tarot card: The Emperor (upright)]
After reading the font in this APP, Asagiri noticed that the sky outside the window had begun to brighten, so she began to wash and change clothes, preparing for the upcoming high school life.
Briefly introduce all the members of this family.
Utsunomiya Asagiri, a first-year student at the private Shuchiin Academy, and then...
Gone.
Both his parents are dead and he has no younger sister, but he has a house, and it is a flat of over 200 square meters in Tokyo's bustling Shibuya business district.
..............
Later, in the morning, outside the private Shuchiin Academy.
Asuna Yuuki, wearing the Shuchi Academy uniform, stood at the school gate, her hands constantly tidying up her soft long hair. She looked a little nervous. The reason for her nervousness was not because she was going to become a high school student from today, but because of the person she was waiting for.
Utsunomiya Asagiri-san, are you telling the truth?
Is the other party really also a student of the private Shuchiin Academy?
Yuuki Asuna has confirmed that the swordsmanship, skills, and the rapier obtained after completing the dungeon can still be used even after returning to the real world.
To be honest, she was scared.
Both of Yuuki Asuna's parents are very busy with work, so after entering high school, she actually lived alone. Her parents originally wanted to hire a nanny to take care of her daily life, but Yuuki Asuna felt that after becoming a high school student, she should be independent, so she politely declined her parents' idea.
Now thinking about it, I’m glad I refused.
Otherwise, if she suddenly disappeared early this morning, her parents would definitely be very worried and might even call the police. By then, she wouldn't know how to explain it.
The only person Yuuki Asuna can discuss these things with is Utsunomiya Asagiri.
At this moment, Yuuki Asuna noticed a familiar figure walking towards her from not far away.
Not only her, but many students near the school gate also cast their eyes on the boy who was walking over.
Even in the private Shuchiin Academy where there are many beautiful girls and handsome boys, the other person's appearance is extremely outstanding, and he can get countless attention just by his appearance.
Although the boy was wearing the Xiuzhi Academy uniform, he did not button it up and wore it as a jacket. The Xiuzhi Academy uniform, which should have been solemn and noble, inexplicably had a sense of casualness when worn on him.
"Utsunomiya-san."
When Yuuki Asuna saw Asagiri in school uniform walking towards her, she couldn't help but feel happy, and a smile appeared on her face. She hurried over to say hello.
"Yuuki-san."
Asagiri also nodded and greeted with a smile.
Feeling the gazes from all around, Yuuki Asuna felt a little embarrassed. Realizing that her actions just now seemed a little too intimate and enthusiastic, she raised her hand to tuck her long hair, and then spoke softly.
"Um... I've looked at the class list for you. I'm in Class B, Grade 1, and you're..."
"I know, Class A, Grade 1."
"Eh? You already know that?"
Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna felt a little confused. After all, the class divisions would not be revealed in advance, but would be announced on the first day of school.
How could the other party know in advance?
013 The heavyweight of Class A
Although she was curious, Asuna Yuuki did not ask too many questions. Although she and Asagiri had completed a dungeon together, after all, they had just met today, and it was not appropriate to ask about her privacy.
"Then... let's go in together?"
"Okay, let's go in together."
Asagiri did not refuse at all and followed Yuuki Asuna into the private Shuchiin Academy. At the same time, she took a deep breath and said with emotion.
"This refreshing, intoxicating fragrance is indeed the youthful scent of early spring, when high school students return to school... Oh no, it seems to be coming from you."
Hearing this, Yuuki Asuna, who was hesitating about how to start discussing serious matters with Asagiri, was caught off guard and subconsciously made a puzzled sound.
"what?"
Then, she finally realized what was meant, and her fair cheeks flushed instantly, but she had to pretend to be calm.
"I...after that, I took a shower, didn't you?"
"Yuuki-san."
Asagiri glanced around and then said lightly.
"Your voice is too loud, and what you said is so easy to be misunderstood."
When Yuuki Asuna heard this, she realized that the students around her all had shocked expressions after she said that.
She immediately realized that what she had just said did sound a little inappropriate.
After that, she took a shower. And the point is, in order to hide her embarrassment, she subconsciously asked Asagiri, "Didn't you take a shower?"
It's like two people did something together... that requires a bath...
"Well... walk a little faster."
Asuna Yuuki's pretty face flushed red, she lowered her head and said this softly, then quickened her pace and walked towards the Shuchiin teaching building with Asagiri.
Along the way, the two of them had no chance to communicate about the copy, after all, there were too many students around.
Both Yuuki Asuna and Asagiri are very clear that their identities as "players" must never be exposed.
"Let's talk about it during lunch break."
Hearing Asagiri's words, Yuuki Asuna nodded, and then walked into the first-year Class B classroom.
The classroom of First Grade Class A, where Asagiri belonged, was right next to him. He walked in without hesitation, ignoring the curious looks from the students who were already inside. He walked straight to the innermost corner of the classroom by the window, commonly known as the throne of kings, pulled out a chair and sat down.
The attention on him did not last long. After a few minutes, there was a sudden burst of noisy noise in the corridor outside the classroom, and then it became completely quiet.
In the silence, a beautiful girl wearing the school uniform of the private Shuchiin Academy, black calf socks, a pair of exquisite leather shoes, long straight black hair, a pretty face and a slender figure, slowly walked into the classroom of Class A.
All the students in the classroom subconsciously looked towards the girl, but after seeing her face clearly, they immediately looked away, feeling curious yet trying to avoid her.
Noticing the reactions of these classmates, Kaguya Shinomiya's expression and eyes did not change, as if she had already anticipated this situation.
It has been like this since I was a child.
