Fujimura returned to his seat, disregarding every pair of eyes that watched his motion. The punk dude rushed toward the back and checked on the ruined face Shidou while no one care for the black haired woman.

Kohta gulped his throat, cowered against the older boy action and secretly relieve he stayed on his good side. Saya held her glass and felt a bit distaste toward Fujimura's barbaric act, but she inwardly delight and tad jealous, not just because he did that in Saeko's account but his power was truly immeasurable.

Seriously, one punch enough to sent an adult flying, who didn't want such strength.

Saeko blinked her eyes as she drilled her sight to Fujimura's figure, those eyes had been enchanted for quite sometimes.

"What?" Fujimura glanced to the window on his side, avoiding her purple iris.

"Thank you," the corner of her lips curled upward, it's not exaggerated but enough to show her deepest gratitude.

"I did it in return of favor, I know you previously in rush because you're worry of my welfare, therefore do not get any wrong idea," he said without facing her.

"OK," Saeko chuckled at this and no longer bothered him.

Since the mini bus no longer move, Fujimura use this chance to open the menu, quick seven list of option appeared before his eyes. He checked on the info first, if he remembered correctly, he got a title as reward, quick he tapped on the corresponding word.

*Beep*

Another box appeared, it only had one option. Fujimura tapped on it for a couple of seconds.

Survivalist : A title worthy for someone who endure the outbreak. Grant you +1 Str, +1 End, +1 Luck and skill .

Disengage (Limit skill): Making your enemy think you are less worth to fight, on the creature without intelligent, they will automatically consider you as non-existent, until you provoke them again. Sacrifice a half portion of your current combo bar to use it and has 15 minutes cool down. (Since this skill is part of title, it will automatically equipped with the said title and cannot be learn.)

Well, this is one useful skill, especially in the world of apocalypse like this, if he had it in the first place, the last situation where he almost become a human pretzel won't definitely happen. Fujimura equipped the title without hesitation.

Then he checked the party tab. Two member spot had been occupied.

Busujima Saeko: a student of Fujimi High School before the outbreak, had a purple hair and eyes. Age: 18, Height: 174cm, Weight: 56kg, Measurements: 83D-56-86cm.

"Cough!" Fujimura held his mouth at the sudden ticklish feeling on his throat, he looked at the interface again and red manifested on his cheek for the first time.

Goddamn this system, how can it shamelessly display things like that, it was a fortunate he's not a pervert or else, her private information could be expose to any person.

But the blue haired young man once again stared at the three sizes information and couldn't help but glanced at the subject herself who sat beside him. Since the time had been froze by the menu, she maintained the gentle smiling expression while put both hands on her lap. Her twin sisters bulged between the entrapment of her arm and he did admit it was proportional.

Not too big, not too small, suitable for a mistress of blade like herself. It's so perfect to be hold within his palm.

"Hugh!" Fujimura literally bashed his head to the window on the side.

What the fuck is he thinking?! Holy crap he is actually turn into a pervert! Goddamn this system!

Gotta focus on something else, he bitterly thought while holding his mouth and nose, then he checked on the interface again.

Weapon: Bokken

Attire: Student

Accessories: Good Luck charm x2

Huh? She still keeping it? And moreover two?

Fujimura snapped his face toward the purple haired woman once again, his eyes wavered in complicated manner. That charm... they both had it went they visit a shrine several month before all of this happen, she is the one who took him there and told they should count God in for the later exams. Even when he said it was ridiculous, she persisted on it and stuffed the charm into his wallet.

But a couple few night ago, in the front of her, he had tore that charm into half and threw it onto the ground.

Was it possible, that second charm is the one that previously his? That mean she had stitched it back...

Saeko, you...

Fujimura leaned his head on the back rest, his eyes watched the sky that glowed in a crimson ambiance.

After a while, he regained his bearing and scanned the last info,

Affection(Lv4): Lv1\ Str+3, Lv2\ Agi+5, Lv3\ Katana proficient 50%, Lv4\ Katana proficient 100%, Lv5\Sadist Satiation Onslaught.

Katana proficient (Innate): Increase your expertise and boosting up your increase in combo meter with Katana type of weapon.

Sadist Satiation Onslaught (Limit skill): Sacrifice five level of your combo, increase your Agi and Str by 20 but Int and End decrease by 20.

I see... sadist, huh?

Fujimura let out a mouthful of air, he turned his face for the last time to look at Saeko, under that gentle smile of her, there was something that hid deep inside. The mad and the craze, the monstrous face that manifested as the result of dark desire. He knew about it, he had seen it, but he didn't bother with it, because she still dazzling the way her are.

It seems that I have to use a katana type of weapon, clearly it more beneficial than the likes of iron sword. But he rather surprise that Saeko affection level already reach that high, only one below max level.

Then Fujimura moved on to Kohta tab...

Hirano Kohta: a student of Fujimi High School before the outbreak, had a black hair and wear glasses. Age: 16, Height: 158cm, Weight: 88kg.

Weapon: modified nailgun

Attire: Student

Accessories: None

Affection(Lv1): Lv1\Dex+3, Lv2\Dex+5, Lv3\???, Lv4\???, Lv5\???

Fujimura didn't have much change in his expression, he knew it was impossible for Kohta to have the same level of affection as Saeko, and he bet the rest of his party member will also be the same. In regard of his unknown skill, he could guess based on the fat boy choice of preference, it certainly gun proficient.

There was another feature added in the which is a party member's pool, it's basically a storage for any member he didn't equip at the moment. He did have the interest to know what possibly a member like Saya and Shizuka could offer since they are not combatant.

Takagi Saya: a student of Fujimi High School before the outbreak, had a pink hair and wear glasses. A big tsundere. Age: 16, Height: 155cm, Weight: 52kg, measurement: 92F-59-87cm.

So she actually had bigger asset than Saeko? Damn that's unfair, and she even younger than her! This is outrageous!

Also, is it possible that she could reach the level of Marikawa-sensei by the time she reached the same age?

...

Argh, why the hell I fuss over about women's private part, get a hold of yourself! Fuck you system, I blame you for corrupting me.

Fujimura held his own head out of frustration and his body shivered in anger.

Weapon: None

Attire: Uniform

Accessories: None

Affection (Lv1): Lv1\Int+3, Lv2\Int+5, Lv3\???, ....

I see, Int huh? Well by the looks of her, she certainly match that kind of type.

But what made Fujimura curious is her later skill which is impossible for him to figure it out like Kohta, he could guess that Marikawa-sensei perhaps a medication skill but this girl... he certainly knew nothing about it.

But the thought about spending time with her to increase the affection level quickly made him winced in discomfort, it's not that he had any prejudice with women, he just hate people, is that simple.

Well, except the lady beside him.

Losing his interest to check on the other member, Fujimura closed on the option and went to the other.

In summary, this are item he recently just got:

Soldier ring: a ring that can increase your strength. Str+2

Iron buckler: a simple small round shield to protect you from harm. Type: small shield, special effect: none, requirement: none, material: iron, grade: common.

Leather armor: a simple made armor. Type: light armor, special effect: none, requirement: none, material: leather, grade: common.

Small potion: recover you from small injury.

Small stimulant: recover a bit portion of your stamina.

Material grade for armor depended on the type of armors, there were four kind of them: Light armor, heavy armor, and magical cloth. Each had five type of material, starting from the weakest to the strongest

Light armor: Leather, Sturdy leather, Reinforce leather, White leather, and Golden leather.

Heavy armor: Iron, Steel, Gold, Mythril, and Star.

Magical cloth: Magic thread, Sorcerer thread, Sacred thread, Rainbow thread, and Cosmic thread.

The iron buckler is a grey round shield only slightly bigger than fujimura's forearm, it only had plain design in its center. Although the item considered to be place in the box of his off-hand, in truth, it stuck on his left forearm instead.

When he put on the leather armor, he thought at first it would make his appearance become awkward but it turned out fine instead. His upper torso wrapped in brown colored attire with shoulder pads, it had threads on his ribs that bind the front and the back part of the armor. The design itself isn't bland like the shield, there were rectangular marking around the tummy part and unique pattern on the chest. The shoulder pads were multi layers cloth that toppled one another.

Fujimura could smell the scent of fresh leather from the new armor he just put on.

The soldier ring automatically appeared on his right ring finger, but he can take it out and placed it on the other fingers and the ring would magically resize.

The potion and stimulant are one timed consumable, meaning no matter how many you drink on it which is by the way is a small bottle no bigger than his hand, it will lose it's effect afterward and you can't drink it again for a second time for its effect. It just had became the same as mineral water.

Fujimura decided not to drink it now since he could just rest to recover his stamina and he's not injured in any sort. But he did took the potion out to give to Shizuka for safe keeping.

he had no choice since he couldn't summon the menu in the battle and he had no bag on him to keep it. Of course if Saeko had one, he prefer to give it to her.

Settling up with his new gear, Fujimura became impatient to check on the two feature that he could only access during the free roam sequence, and .

The interface was rather fancy, unlike the usual grey tone, it had a brown classic theme instead. The feature had five additional tabs on it:

1. Home

2. Item

3. Equipment

4. Skill

5. Miscellaneous

Home was pretty much where it offered a special discount for certain item or a bundle with limited time or quantity. For example, a normal price for 1 small potion is 100 gold coin but in home tabs, there was an offer to buy a pack of 10 small potion with only 800 gold coin which is not a bad bargain, considering the item usefulness. Currently there were five kind of items that being offered:

1. Novice pack (2000 G): 3x small potion, 3x small stimulant, 3x small ether, Novice (Occ), 1x iron dagger. (Qty: 1) (No replenishment)

2. Healing pack (800 G): 10x small potion. (Qty: 1) (Replenish after a week) (Monday offer only)

3. Beginner weapon #1 (1000 G): 1x Iron sword, 1x Iron lance, 1x Iron axe. (Qty: 1) (Replenish after a week) (Monday offer only)

4. Beginner armor #1 (1000 G): 1x leather armor, 1x leather head cap, 1x leather boots. (Qty: 1) (Replenish after a week) (Monday offer only)

5. Special package (5000 G): 1x teleportation scroll, Quick slots, 1x Random pet egg, 1x low tier equipment ticket, 1x low tier skill ticket. (Qty:1) (No replenishment)

In item section held many kind of consumable and material, but Fujimura noticed a high different in price between small potion and medium potion, the first was 100 G but the later was 1000 G, not to mention the large potion which reach 5000 G.

Equipment, as it name stated its where the weapon, armor, and other fancy toys is being captive, it literally everything in here that a player could buy, from multi-mechanical sword to magic sword, laser gun and electrical rail gun, the most holy sword to the darkest of its kind.

Skill also not lose in awesomeness than the equipment, not only it sell a battle skill such as fire barrage or icy needle, it also had other streak such as hit streak and dodge streak.

Miscellaneous perhaps is the largest among of these feature because not only it had pet and costume, but also system's upgrade and add-on feature, it just so many of them that Fujimura felt headache at just browsing at them.

Well it was certainly exciting and intriguing, but the price on each of this things was enough to make someone a run of their wallet. Most of the eye catching stuff in here at the cheapest would be 100,000 gold coin and from there, the price just went on to the endless horizon. You could sell any useless item in your inventory but the selling price is rather bad from its original, iron sword had its original price 300 G but it only sell for 100 G.

If he had to simulate the prize from finishing a stage and made an accumulation to at least buy one of it, he had to clear up to 20 stage just to reach 100,000 G.

He certainly had no problem if the stage was just like the first one, yes he almost died but then again if not for any stupid error to be made, he would be just fine.

At any rate, Fujimura made to buy a katana as his first priority browsing the mall, and he soon stumbled on two choice:

1. Ashura (short katana)

2. Kotetsu (long katana)
