บท 30: Chapter 30 First Day (Pt.3)
Upon arriving in the room for his Physical Conditioning class, Carman was ordered to stand in line with the other students by a middle aged man who was standing in the middle of the room.
The man with salt and pepper hair was a drill sergeant who would be training them. From the media he had watched in his previous life, Carman expected expletives and insults to come out of the man's mouth as soon as he started addressing the class.
However, he was wrong, evidently this instructor had reservations regarding swearing at children, and only talked sternly and hollered when he felt he needed to make a point.
The instructor introduced himself as Sergent Superstes, and stated that while he knew that the training that he would have these children go through would be brutal at times he claimed it allowed him to sleep at night knowing that his cadets would be able to make it out of most situations due to having been trained to overcome pain and exhaustion. He declared that he did not care if the cadets were male or female, they would all adhere to the training regimen.
After his lecture he ordered the students to enter the changing rooms and put on their exercise uniforms. Carman followed his instructions and followed the line of other students I into a large locker room where he was handed a new uniform, made of a heavy fabric and waited in line with the others to get changed. It seemed that there were not separate rooms for children with male or female anatomy, but just a bunch of stalls and supervisors ensuring there was no funny business going on. Once his turn came, Carman entered a stall and took off his current clothes and changed into this new set. While it was significantly heavier than his normal uniform, the fabric was surprisingly breathable and did not make him feel uncomfortably warm or anything. Making his way out he received a number and a lock with a key he would be expected to keep on his person. Finding the locker corresponding to the number he had received, Carman placed his belongings inside and locked the door before hanging his key on a cord around his neck.
As he followed the class to the field in the back of the academy he felt a look holding malice behind directed at him from behind, turning around, Carman saw Camille Engrenage looking at him, while she wasn't outright glaring, the look on her face was reminiscent of the face a parent or caretaker would make after being handed a freshly painted or glued art piece made by a child, putting on a fake smile while hiding their disgust as they contemplate how fast they can put the art away without appearing to be rude so they could wash their hands.
Carman shrugged at her and turned his attention back to Sergeant Superstes as he directed the children to start running down the track, citing many incidents where people assigned to logistics divisions had to run to survive monster and other enemy attacks.
Due to his daily workout quest, Carman was doing better than most of his classmates. Many of them had lived in a cushy environment funded by their family's wealth, with little need to run around, after all why get something from across the hall Whalen you could order a servent to do so?
Carman was still winded and using the sleeve of his uniform to wipe some sweat from his brow, surprisingly, amongst all the young masters and misses, Ms. Engrenage was the least fazed. It seems that she had already started to undego endurance training before then and the smug look she made at Carman made her feelings of superiority quite clear.
Sergeant Superstes then lead the students back to the changing room stating that physical conditioning would only be these "light jogs" for the first grading period and that they were going to be running wither it was sunny, rainy, thunderous, or snowing. It would be better to learn how to escape in those conditions now in a safe space than to risk their safety by learning it on the fly.
Many of the students complained about having to walk back down the halls to he cafeteria after their exercise but since another class was coming in Sergeant Superstes rushed them out.
The rest of the day was fairly uneventful to Carman, he didn't share many of his other classes with Camille so there weren't many opportunities for her one sided rivalry to flair up, but by the time he came home, Carman was worn out.
Collapsing onto the couch Carman practically melted there as his muscles finally relaxed a bit after his day at school.
"Carman, are you doing alright?" Asked Ryuzu, as she walked into the room and saw Carman trying to become one with the couch.
"Yeah it's just been a long day.." said Carman, his voice slightly muffled by the cushions. "For some reason this day feels like it stretched on for a month"
-Somewhere a young man with dark hair chuckles self deprecatingly as he sits behind a computer, writing.-
Looking through his inventory, Carman noticed that he had quite a few pull tickets for the Gatcha part of his system in his storage, they were occasionally given in various quest rewards, and he always got one for completing his workout on the last day of the week.
That could be fun, let's see, I have two 10-pulls on the regular banner that dropped Ryuzu, and one 10-pull on a banner for skills, though it seems to mostly only give random exp to use for skills with very low chances of an actual skill being drawn.
Deciding which to roll first with a coin flip, Carman decided to do the regular Banner first, then the skill one
[Draw {Omniversal Calling} x 20?
[Yes/No]. ]
Selecting [Yes], Carman watched as an animation played on a screen only he could see.

1x Book: Nicolas Flamel's Research Notes]
As he read the list of items he had received, Carman noted some of the interesting things he had received this time, and the books he had received. It wasn't until his gaze reached the end of the list that he truly got excited. Nicolas Flamel was a reoccurring alchemist in fantasy novels, though his real life counterpart didn't really have a solid connection to the art of alchemy. Carman carefully took the leather bound book from his system storge and placed it on the coffee table. The words written on the first page were familiar but hard for Carman to decipher.
"Must be written in French, I'll have to ask Ryuzu to help translate later.' said Carman as he placed the book back into his storage.
Looking through the list once more, he pulled out the book "A Guide to Stoic Philosophy, Volume 1." Looking at the book I his hands Carman muttered, "this better not be some alpha male, don't feel emotions bull crap." Flipping though the first few pages, Carman was pleasantly surprised to have his expectations being wrong. The book was written on the traditional stoic philosophy rather than the modern concept.
Placing the book onto the coffee table to read though later, Carman looked at his system panel once again and exited the list of items he had drawn and to the skill banner.
[Draw {Omniversal Skills} x10?
[Yes/No] ]
Selecting Yes, Carman watched as the Gatcha started the drawing.
Skill exp....skill exp... Cooking (Rank D) Lv.1.... skill exp... Skill exp... Cartography (Rank E) Lv. 1.....skill exp... skill exp.. skill exp... Transmutation-Fullmetal Alchemist- Lv. 1.
[⚠️Warning ⚠️, entity: [Truth], is attempting to invade Host's Pycho-Spiritual space.]
What? Thought Carman as he saw the system warning
[Enforcing system protocol..... Entity repelled]
Cold sweat dripped down Carman's back as he read through the system panels.
[Notice: due to repelling [Truth] skill: Transmutation-Fullmetal Alchemist- Lv. 1. Has received critical damage. Compensation generating....
Administrator permission required... Requesting administration intervention....
Approved...
Switching to administrator panel]
Huh?!? Thought Carman as his system panel kept changing, suddenly the whole panel changed to an ornate ebony color with golden text.
[Long time no see kiddo, been keeping track of you since you reincarnated, and I'm glad to see your doing better over there.
Apologies for the inconvenience, there was a minor oversight when I was designing the system that left a loophole that Truth was trying to exploit.]
Long time no see? Do I know this person?thought Carman, confused as to how he would know the person on the other side of the system.
[Ah thats right, you forgot, I'm the one who sent you to this world. Sorry about the bumpy landing, I didn't have any control over who you reincarnated into, I just inserted your soul as next in line to get a body there.]
So it wasn't my fault that that stuff happened, it had already happened or was going to happen anyway. Thought Carman finding some comfort in the knowledge that his reincation didn't cause the chain of events leading to his body's birth.
[As compensation for that, and the issue that occured earlier today. I am going to run a few updates so stuff like this doesn't happen again, I'll also do my best to fix that skill you won. It shouldn't take more than a few days.
Best regards!]
And with that final message the panel reverted to its original colors and updated.
[Notice: system will be undergoing maintenance for the next 72 hours, many functions will be disabled during this period. Host will still be able to use [Skill] and [Item Storage] however other functions will be locked until mantaince is complete.
Remaining time: 72 hours]
"That was... something" said Carman as he looked at the panel before closing the system.
Picking up his book on Traditional Stoicism Carman decided not to dwell on it and started reading.
