8.16% Reaching For the Stars / Chapter 6: Chapter 6

Capítulo 6: Chapter 6

Just like that, I've already gone up in the mathematics department. So learning equations and becoming proficient at using math will increase my skill?

Achievement System, what are the levels of my skills?

[Ding!]

[Host's current skills are:

Basketball: 38

0 / 3,800

Lying: 46

0 / 4,600]

Holy! Why is my lying skill so high up? That makes no sense?! Whatever. I inwardly rant as I scroll through the skills.

[Running: 30

0 / 3,000

Social: 67

218 / 6,700]

Hmm. So far it seems like every single skill is at 0 except Social. Could it be because I just conversed with Reed and my family? Also, it's really really high level? I do remember being extroverted, but I didn't get along with literally everyone. Could it be because I merged with this anti-social side and can get along with both introverts and extroverts? That seems like a plausible reason…

I scrolled for a while but there wasn't much that caught my attention after that.

"Charlie, I do hope you're paying attention."

The teacher randomly called me out in the middle of class while explaining the equation.

Aw shoot, I was too caught up in the system that I forgot I was still in class.

"Yes, of course."

Huh, that's weird. The teacher called me out sometimes, but after a while, he completely stopped seeing as I didn't care anymore in the past. I instantly concluded that he noticed I was attempting to be more sociable and is trying to help me have more confidence in speaking out. Huh, if that's true then he's a great guy.

He merely nodded at me unphased and continued his explanation.

----------------

The class ended quickly and I wasn't experiencing much trouble keeping up with the mathematics. It probably was the mathematics skill taking effect.

I felt excitement spreading from my heart at the ease in which things could be. I was a strong math student, but I occasionally had troubles; however, with this, it just seemed so much easier.

I stood up and glanced at Reed.

"So, your name's Red?"

He coughed and his brow began twitching.

"I am Reed."

"You mean you are reading?"

"No, my name is Reed. R E E D."

"Okay, sure. By the way, what's next period?"

"What's with you man? It's obviously period…"

"Period..?"

His eyes turned dazed and stared behind me. What's with this guy? He's so weird.

I look behind me but there's nothing there.

I stare back at him and raise my eyebrows while he just coughs.

"Uh, it's next period. Yup."

He ran off behind me.

I scrunch my eyebrows.

Okay, weirdo.

Well whatever, I think if I look into my memories and try hard enough I can get the schedule.

My eyes unfocus and I delve into my memories.

I search for the memories until I feel a bug on my back. A bug? A MOTHER FUCKING B-

"ACK!" I jump up and try swatting the nasty unholy whatever type of bug demon out of my back.

Looking behind me I see a familiar face. It's one of the girls that started pointing at me when I smiled at Reed.

I see a frown scrunching up the girl's face while she nurses the finger I just hit.

So it wasn't a bug…

"I'm very sorry, are you okay?"

She merely frowned at me and I saw girls begin to surround her while staring at me in contempt.

Holy shit. I fucked up I fucked up I fucked up I fucked up. I am probably going to get butchered and thrown into a pig hole. I don't want to seem like a pussy but there are probably white knights waiting to jump on me at their call. Shit, it just had to be the pretty girl group that probably has simps waiting to crack down on my ass.

I must avoid it.

I take her injured hand which is just lightly and pathetically red.

"I am so sorry. I thought it was something else that touched me. Are you okay?"

I grant her my most brilliant dazzling smile. Ugh, thank you. At least this smile did not come out forced. Being judged by my sister because of my weird smiles and expressions at the metro was worth it. Ugh, thank you for allowing me this.

She stares in a daze at my close face frowning in concern.

Sputtering out, she very quickly regains her composure and takes her hand back.

Her friends quickly glance at each other with smiles.

She's a pretty girl with caramel-colored hair reaching down to her posterior end and standing at a medium height. She looks adorable with pale white creamy skin and hazel slanted eyes.

Damn, she's cute.

[Author Note: if you're too lazy to imagine her, look up Otonari no Tenshi. If you're imagining a real person instead, just think of any female kpop artist.]

Her face relaxes and she looks up at my face.

"I'm okay. I heard you don't know the schedule?"

I pretend to act embarrassed and cover my face with a face-palm.

"Yeah, I completely forgot."

She lightly laughs.

"We're taking Physics next period. You should take a look at the schedule they sent you."

"Huh, they sent us a schedule."

She stares at me in amusement. I quickly open my sleek phone which would be too advanced for my past life and look for the schedule through my mail.

"Thank you very much, pretty lady. What's your name?"

I lightly flirt at her with a straight face.

She giggles probably thinking that I'm just pretending I don't know her name when in fact I don't at all.

"I'm Natsumi Sato."

[Author Note: Just to clarify things. Chinese, Korean, and Japanese names are said in reverse, however, since they're in the USA they give their given name and then their surname. So in Japan, Natsumi Sato would be Sato Natsumi instead.]

"I'm Charlie, can I have your number?" I wiggle my brows at her comically. "I'm joking, thank you for the help. I'll see you later."

The group just stares at me in surprise at my boldness.

That's right! My balls are of steel!

[Ding!]

[The Achievement System congratulates the Host on flirting for the very first time! The System wishes to party with the Host at their success and thus rewards the Host with:

+5 Achievement Points!

(Bonus)

+5 Achievement Points!

Total Achievement Points: 15]

DAMN! Even got a bonus? I started with 5 points, and tripled them just like that?

[Ding!]

[Host was given an initial 5 achievement points as a gift, and has been rewarded 5 points for flirting with a girl! The bonus points are for catching the attention of the girl's friend group and for not needing an incentive from the Achievement System!]

Holy! Let me check the shop then!

With the 15 achievement points, my options instantly expanded and I have so many unfair options to choose from now.

I bought the +1 Skill Upgrade and +1 Stat upgrade. After purchasing them, the price reddens and jumps up to 5 and 15 achievement points each respectively. (skill upgrade: 5, stat upgrade: 15) Damn, so I can't buy many of those upgrades.

I open up my stats.

[Stats:

Luck: 0

Intelligence: 12

Charm: 9]

Well, I am tempted to upgrade the charm to see if having double digits will have a bigger impact. However, I'm pretty sure getting luck in the positives as fast as I can will bring better benefits.

[Ding!]

[Stats have been updated:

Luck: 1

Intelligence: 12

Charm: 9]

[Host is now a lucky person! The world has taken a positive interest in the host and will now use its energy to spread positive influence and benefits to the host!]

Hell yeah! This sounds extremely good.

Instantly, the wind comes in from the window and lightly strokes my clothes and face.

My hair is ruffled and my clothes shake. A small hole appears in a cloud and a piercing ray of warm sunlight caresses my face.

Oh man, tell me I look freaking ethereal right now. I wish someone recorded that just to see how it looked from other's perspectives.

I wave at Natsumi and the group of girls while they just look at what happened in shock.

I too would be freaking horrified if out of nowhere a really handsome black haired guy is caressed by the wind and gets lit up by the sun like a prophet ready to spread his teachings.

Receiving the memories for the next class, I arrive at my locker and quickly head early to the class.

I recognize a few faces from the past class and completely new ones intermingling with each other. I see Reed in a far off seat with other noisy chaps arguing heatedly. To my near right, the clique of pretty girls seems to have expanded with even noisier and different girls. Natsumi in their center being sent barrages of questions. I try to eavesdrop on their conversation but it's just impossible with all the noise.

I stare behind me, and the gamer guys are also being extremely loud.

Well, I'm surrounded by noisy people. This will be very lively.

I feel something tapping my back once again and am immediately startled.

"ACK!" My chair falls over and my desk is pushed by my body making a really loud screech.

The class turns quiet and stares at me as I swat the disgusting demon bug of hell away from my back with a holy slap.

Reed bursts out in laughter as he pokes me repeatedly in ridicule.

My fingers tense and form into a fist as my arm prepares to crusade into enemy lands and perform a holy crusading right hook to send the perpetrator's nose back to the pits of hell from where it came from.
