Chapter 13 It's all a misunderstanding
In short, I was as nervous when I came to the palace as I was confused when I left.
The truth is revealed.
But my old father seemed to be planning to indulge me.
Received a gift from my brother.
But there was a new car inside.
——So confused, so confused.
Small eyes, big confusion, is this the difference between royal education and criminal education?!
They even said seriously that everyone would have an aircraft. There are still more than two months before school starts. Maybe I passed the exams too quickly, so I still have a full summer vacation.
This is such a rare thing for a corporate slave. Maybe I can find Ars in these two months.
Then that night I received a very subtle reminder from the system.
[Host, should we complete the previous mission? It's urgent, really urgent.]
What? Didn’t you say you would count the training time for me?
[Because you previously completed a storyline, a bug in the main world has been fixed—a setting has been added where "twins' psychic powers awaken simultaneously." Therefore, according to the storyline, the protagonist needs to awaken their psychic power before school starts.]
[Then, due to system issues, you awakened your spiritual power prematurely. Therefore, when you repair your SSS-level spiritual power, the protagonist will also awaken his spiritual power at the same time... Host, do you understand what I mean? ]
…
...You're saying that if I don't repair my spiritual power, my brother won't be able to awaken it, right?!
As the group's favorite protagonist, his golden finger can't reach it, right?!
[Yeah~]
…
If I remember correctly, I am also responsible for saving Ars, right?
[…Oops, I have to let you in on this. This is a forced plot for Ars, and currently, it's almost impossible to change it… If you forcefully change the plot, it might cause instability in the world…]
[But don't worry, I guarantee as a system that he is definitely alive!]
[This is a heartwarming, group-loving story. Even villains have a protection period, so nothing will happen before they actually start working~]
...You said it out!
Although I know that I am in the villain camp, I am really sad that you said it so bluntly.
Who wouldn't want to be a good person if they could?!
[Hey, as long as the world is stable, other hosts can do whatever they want~]
What the system said made sense, but I didn’t want to face it right now—for my brother to awaken smoothly, I had to make it into the top ten within two months.
Then I began my journey as a corporate slave in another world.
——Refers to the mecha arena that never sleeps from morning to night.
Haha, ever since I revealed that I’m S-class, I’ve directly given myself a simulated SSS-class mental driving.
Then, after I rejected all invitations and worked hard alone in the hotel for half a month, I moved up five places. This improvement may seem small, but it is already an eye-catching improvement among the top 50.
Morse even called to ask if I had been upset.
He told me that I have become some kind of fighting maniac in their small circle - haha, when we office workers get crazy, we are even crazier than you students.
As mentioned in the previous chapters, ranking is based on win rate, but those ranked higher will not be matched with those ranked lower. If you defeat those ranked higher than yourself, your win rate will increase by some extra points.
This has been my state for the past half month. I am challenging myself upwards - but because the group of people in front of me are not online all the time, I have developed a habit of fighting whoever I match with during the day, and challenging those on the leaderboards at night.
Some people rejected me, and some people were forced to challenge me.
There are winners and losers, and rankings go up and down.
I'm really worried about my brother's mental strength.
Then when I was about to start the challenge tonight, a battle invitation came.
——Haha, did I see it wrong!
Isn't this the glittering No. 1?!
Am I also a character who can be challenged by the strongest person in the empire?!
I took a screenshot and clicked "Reject".
I don't want to have anything to do with the empire's only SSS-level person, considering that I may be his brother-in-law in the future, and also considering that I will be the villain in the future.
Are you kidding me? Now that he's figured out my moves, won't I be defeated in a second if we fight next time?
"?"
An anonymous message came in, with a cold question mark, and I could even feel the confusion on the other end.
"?"
I also replied with a question mark with great courage.
Who doesn't know how to show off?
"——User 67583 requested to add you as a friend."
No, am I really that strong that the protagonist's official partner even added me as a friend and wanted to challenge me?
I was silent for a long time and then clicked "Agree".
"I'm Atelier Ivey."
"You're the instructor for next semester's mecha class. Are you sure you don't want to fight me?"
"S-class Alger Penn."
…
Shit, he's intimidating me.
He bullies children.
Then my hand shook and I blocked him.
It’s over, but it feels good, hehe.
————————————————
After I released Atrel from the blacklist, he didn't try to contact me again, and he didn't send me any challenge applications. I stayed out of the spotlight for a day and continued to go to the training room to improve my ranking.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly afterwards.
It is considered a lot if there are three real S-level or above in the top fifty. Simulating mental power is still different. Although there are basically no mistakes in the operation of the mecha, there are obvious flaws in many details. There is still a gap between reality and virtuality.
So half a month before school started, I successfully reached the tenth place.
[Ding ding ding—Congratulations to the host for completing the task, rewards are now being distributed—
Mission Reward: Spirit Repair Potion Exchange Voucher (Purpose: Repair damaged spirit power and revive your strength!)
I'm so touched, host, you did it! Can you exchange it for the repair potion right away?
Exchange, exchange, exchange now!
Then a bottle of blue potion appeared in my hand. Just as I was about to drink it, I suddenly saw the instructions on the back -
【Spirit Repair Potion (Advanced)
Produced by SH World, repairing all kinds of mental trauma
Side effects: Coma, drowsiness, and hemoptysis may occur within 1-3 months. (Don't worry, this is a normal recovery process and will not cause any problems. Please feel free to drink it!)
…
No, wait a minute, is that coma, lethargy, and coughing up blood really okay?!
I'm fine, but the people around me will be scared to death if they see it! ! ! !
Do I have to take on unnecessary character responsibilities when I go to school for the first time in this world?!
I can’t imagine if I passed out, became sleepy, and coughed up blood during training in a military academy. Would my teacher be so frightened that he would be warned by the Education Bureau? A company animal’s life is also a life!
"Hey... After all, this isn't a medicine from this world. It's a normal phenomenon in the SH world, so no one's surprised..."
Okay, don't explain.
Sure enough, the system is very unreliable.
I am ready to take medicine, hoping that this 1-3 months problem can be solved within 1 month...
But before that, I clicked on a contact in the computer and the note on it was a space.
——"Angel should be awakening."
Then, after watching the message being delivered successfully, I drank the mental repair potion.
After I finished drinking it, the medicine bottle turned into particles and disappeared in my hand.
Followed by a sharp pain, I fell on the bed and my vision went black.
it hurts.
Hopefully, Angel won't be in so much pain, he's still just a kid.
——————————————————
When I woke up, it was dark outside.
I felt hungry, and there was a bunch of missed calls and messages on the computer next to me.
I glanced at the time with a serious expression.
Oh, it was the next night, haha, luckily I hung up on the Do Not Disturb function in advance.
Well, most of the messages and calls were from that blank space—my biological father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"...Alger, are you okay?"
"Alger?"
"Angel has indeed awakened his spiritual power. It went smoothly."
"Alger?"
…
I skipped the middle messages and went straight to the end. The sending time was ten minutes ago.
"Wake up and tell me. I'm worried about you."
Luckily, my dad still had some sense and didn't come to find me directly. Luckily, I've been playing ranked games non-stop for the past two months, and I only disappeared for a day or two without my friends getting alarmed.
"I'm fine. I was just too tired and overslept."
Although he might have guessed something from the message I sent him before, as long as I don't admit it, it's not true. Moreover, I have already awakened my mental power. No matter how outrageous it is, he can't guess that I am repairing my mental power. After all, there is no medicine to repair mental power in this world.
I replied to his message and started looking at other unread messages.
Fortunately, I report to my cheap dad and the others once a week, and there is not much information from my hometown. That’s nice.
Most of them were people who got my contact information from somewhere and invited me to some party, or just wanted to get to know me - after all, I had made it into the top ten of the list a day ago.
Oh, and I even saw a virtual club invite me to become a professional player in virtual mecha competitions.
You guys will also have e-sports competitions in the future right?!
Then my phone rang, and it was Angel.
——With such a coincidental timing, I have reason to suspect that it was my biological father’s work.
But he is my lovely brother. I can block Atriel, but I will never reject Angel.
So I picked up the phone and saw Angel and the Crown Prince's father on the other side.
Their expressions froze for a moment.
?
What happened.
"Ah...Alger, why is your face covered in blood? What happened to you?!"
Angel's voice was tearful. I raised my hand and wiped my face, which was a little sticky.
Damn, why is it all covered in blood, and it’s half-coagulated.
Then I looked stiffly at where I was lying on the bed - half of the pillow was stained with blood.
Wait, where's the blood coming from?!
"I don't... cough cough cough cough..."
I watched helplessly as my biological father and brother looked at me with horror as I spit out blood.
—System, this is how you T/M/D cough up blood, right?!
"Alger—we'll be right there, hold on!!!!!"
Then my screen went black.
I almost blacked out.
It's urgent, very urgent. How can I explain to my father and brother that this is just a side effect of the medicine and not that I have a terminal illness?
