"What the heck? What is this suddenly?"
Arthur started walking towards his basement the moment he saw the quest ensued by his system.
'Why do I fucking need to confront demons?' He thought since he never needed to do a quest like this in his life after coming here. Heck, he even thought his only job was to acquire heroines.
But his thoughts didn't matter in this case. 'Fuck… I don't want to be impotent.'
Since the penalty for not doing his quests was becoming impotent. 'System, where do I need to go?' Asking this question inside his mind, he started thinking.
'Demons…. They should be those guys we killed in the game….'
The system's voice echoed within his consciousness, providing the information he wanted. <Host, you need to be at the location marked on the map within one hour.>
Arthur's gaze instinctively shifted to the map displayed by the system, his eyes scanning the coordinates and landmarks. A knowing expression of recognition ignited within him as he studied the map. "A secluded place... it feels familiar," he murmured, a flicker of remembrance stirring deep within his mind.
'Ah, I remember now. It is that bulky guy in the game….' At first, he forgot since it had been quite a long time since he played the game. But, the moment he saw the place on the map, he remembered what kind of event would take place there.
'This is where we could increase the affinity with the heroine we went there.' Remembering that, a smile bloomed upon his face. 'That is right; I am the protagonist. I need to be there to kill that demon so that heroines fall for me.'
With a new sense of thrill appearing inside his heart, he quickly changed his clothes while cleaning himself thoroughly. At the same time, he also started mentally preparing himself for what was to come while also thinking about the event.
After all, this was his chance to shine, to prove himself as the central character of the story, and secure the affections of the heroines, also trying to distract himself from the last beating he got.
While getting ready, a thought crossed his mind, and he addressed it to his system. "System, am I allowed to bring other people to assist me?" he inquired, hoping for a positive response.
<You can host. The important thing for you is to be there.>
Arthur's grin widened. "Hehe... that's good to hear," he chuckled to himself, his mind already forming plans and strategies for the upcoming encounter. The idea of having a heroine on his side both made him feel safe and gave him a purpose at the same time.
Just like that, he left his dorm while grabbing his needs.
*******
Arthur realized something a bit late.
It was the fact that how was he going to make the heroine come with him to that secluded place? Or who was going to be the person that would come with him?
But, before he could drown in his doubts, he got the answers to his question immediately.
<Host, you got a request from Professor Alistair yesterday.>
As his system reminded him of the request given to him by Professor yesterday, Arthur couldn't help but smile.
'Yesterday, I swore at you for this but thank you, I guess, professor.' He thought, not knowing everything was actually linked….
But for him, it didn't matter. After all, he now had a reason to call someone, and he knew who she was.
******
While I was waiting for our protagonist to show up, I was also readying myself.'
Because, in a way, this would be the starting mark point of the harsh academic life that was about to come. 'Let's see the strength of the demon. This will be important.'
Thinking that I had erased my presence while taking a good position to see the fight that was about to happen.
'Ah, they are here.' Sensing the familiar mana signatures coming my way, I raised my smile.I think you should take a look at
'So you chose to come with Celia. That is a lot better.' Considering Celia was the third-ranked student in the academy, choosing her made sense. But at the same time, it was a good thing for me since I could witness the strength of the strongest mage inside the main cast.
Taking my position, I started looking at the events unfolding in front of my eyes.
Arthur had an amicable smile on his face while holding the package in his arms.
'Ah, that was the thing that the professor wanted him to deliver. I wonder if he opened it? If not, he will get a big surprise.' I thought. There was a reason why I liked this game very much.
Because it always paid attention to every bit of little detail.
Soon, their voices entered my ears, waking me up from my stupor.
"It is my first time seeing this place." Hearing the soft voice of the girl, I realized they were pretty close.
"Indeed. I had never come to this place either."
'You didn't, huh? You didn't even check where the first event would take place?'
Seeing the stupid smile on Arthur's face, I really wanted to smash him right here, right there, but he had his use.
"But why did the professor give you this? Couldn't he find someone other?" however, being the smart girl she was, Celia asked. However, it was evident that she was enjoying her time with her partner.
"I don't know. Maybe because I am sitting in the front, maybe he liked me?"
'No, it is not because he liked you…. It was because you are his target….' I thought, remembering the identity of the said professor.
"Heh… It may be true…" Celie responded with a smile.
/SWOOSH/
But, just at that moment, a breeze of wind passed before their faces.
"Huh?" Arthur was momentarily surprised as he sensed the unknown presence.
/CRANK/
However, at that moment, a bunch of crystal lances materialized in the air, all aligning with the new presence that made itself known.
"Who are you?" Celia asked, raising her hand. "I will count to three; if you don't answer, then don't blame me for being cruel."
Though while all of this was happening, Arthur was frozen, standing still…
