Crash!

Crash! Crash! Crash! πππeweπ―ππΌΡ΅πΖ.πο½π¦
βStop doing it! Iβm awake now!β
It was the morning a few days after the entrance exam. The result of the exam will be out later, but I was forced to wake up early because thereβs a ghost who just learned to touch objects, and she keep dropping plates and cups on the floor.
Crash!
βI said stop it! I know youβre happy since you can touch and lift some objects now, but that doesnβt mean you are allowed to destroy everything! Youβre just like a kid wanting for attention.β I shouted at Sonia who keeps dropping plates on the floor.
.....
βI am indeed wanted to get your attention. Iβm returning back to the Monsters World now since Albertβs business is over. Iβm here to inform you that.β Sonia said.
She has returned yesterday saying that Albert has some important business that needed Soniaβs assistance. I donβt know what it is, but I think thereβs another annoying matter happening. And soon, Albert will ask for my help. I hope he can take care of it himself instead of asking for me to do it.
βI see. Thanks for telling. But was it necessary for you to destroy all the plates and cups here?β
βThatβs not everything. There are still a lot of these. See? Iβm smashing another cup.β
Crash!
Sonia dropped another cup to the floor to proof that there are still other cups in my room.
βEnough already!β I shouted.
βBy the way, why is your room has too many decorations?β Sonia asked curiously.
βBack then, I used my room as a warehouse whenever I go outside by connecting my room with portal. So, there are many things here. Obviously, the girls didnβt like it. So, I take them all into the storage room. Then, my room become empty. Though Iβm fine with living in an empty room, the girls didnβt like it. So, the girls decided to decorate my room with plates, cups, jars, and paintings. Youβre the ghost of this building so how come you didnβt know?β I explained.
βI made your room as a forbidden ground. I wonβt enter there unless for something important. Anyway, Iβm leaving now. Can you open a portal there so I can get there faster?β
βSo thatβs why youβre waking me up, huh? Fine. Just leave quickly.β
I opened a portal to the Monsters World, connecting to a Blobby that is being carried by a Werewolf who accompanying Sonia to the ghost town. That Werewolf is carrying a necklace with the soil from under this building so Sonia can follow her.
But as I opened the portal, I see the Werewolf. Sheβs sleeping. Naked. And Iβm totally awake now.
βAlright, you can close the portal now, or I will tell Victoria and the others about this.β
I quickly closed the gate not because of Soniaβs threat. Yes. Iβm doing it because of my own will.
But still... looking at them directly is much better after all. No clothes to restraint the body so I wonβt see the weirdly shaped parts. I like them no matter what, but if I have to choose, seeing them naked directly is much better.
Anyway, Iβm no longer sleepy. While Itβs still early in the morning. Even Lina has just wake up.
Since Albert has just finished an important business, if itβs related to the cult, he will contact me. if not, then thereβs nothing to do. Which is a blessing.
I guess Iβll do my daily training earlier than usual.
Even after three years since returning to the past, I never skipped daily training unless Iβm busy. Though the time that I did the training varies. Sometimes itβs early in the morning like this, and sometime during the afternoon since I usually just wake up at that time.
After I return from my training, everyone already wakes up and the breakfast has been prepared. Other than some people who are in the capital. Like Angela and Shirley since they are waiting for their result. And Shelia is also here since she said she wanted to have Linaβs fried chicken. I think itβs because fried chicken is the first delicious meal that I have given her.
After breakfast, itβs time to go to the campus for the exam takers. Itβs finally time for their result to be posted.
I have no doubt that everyone, even those in the capital, will be accepted. If not, I will question the examiners.
And now, since the Introductory School has finished awakened all the studentsβ magic, I guess soon it will be the time for them to have the explosive device in their mouth. What a weird ritual.
I think Iβll go patrol the academy district today and see if I can meet Kayla and the others.
I will have as much fun as possible while killing some cultists!
I wonβt do much in public, but I will find any cultists hiding in empty alleys and kill them.
I left the house and quickly find two people in an alleyway. What a perfect coincidence.
βVictoria, I found two people.β I told my accomplice, Victoria.
βAre they strong?β She asked.
βNeither of them reacted when I get this close. They are either good actors, or weaker than expert level mages.β
βOkay. Weβll do plan A like usual.β
βUnderstood.β
We have been doing this every time I see new people in the city who has explosive devices along with Victoria. At first, I just killed them directly. But now, thanks to Victoriaβs strategy, at least I can have fun doing it.
...not the killing part. Having fun killing people is a mental illness. What I meant by having fun is the process before the killing.
...that still makes it sounds like a mental illness.
Anyway, itβs time to put Plan A in action!
I walked into the alleyway, and intentionally colliding my shoulder to one of the guys walking there. Then I fall to the ground.
βAAARGH! You hit me! Argh! Itβs hurt! You just broke my shoulder! Argh!β
Plan A, involve me intentionally colliding with the other party, pretending to be in pain as if I broke my bone, and asked the other party money for healing. Of course, I will ask for money and still kill the other party.
Victoria said that itβs one of the common strategies of swindling in some short of fictional story in her world. As expected from that weird world! Even swindlers have some incredible strategies!
I can see the two men are confused, and angry. One is about to attack me, but the other stopped him and whispering something. Probably something like donβt attract too much attention and just give me what I want.
βTsk! The shoulder that hits me was your right shoulder! But youβre holding your left shoulder!β The guy I collided with protested.
βThat shoulder is fine! But this one is because of falling! Now pay for compensate my broken shoulder! Argh! Itβs painful! Argh!β
How is it? My acting skill has been progressing well since I have been doing this for some time.
While the guy I collide with is angry, the other guy stopped him.
βItβs okay. Iβm a healer. Here, Light Heal! Now your shoulder should be healed and you donβt need any compensation, right?β The other guy who is actually a healer used healing magic on me.
What the hell? I was too shocked since there has never been any healer among the cultists I killed. I guess there will be some eventually. But now what? He just healed me so I can no longer ask him for money.
I guess Iβll do it the old way.
I quickly get up from the ground, transformed Victoria into a sword, and slashed the neck of the healer. He needed to be killed first just in case.
βWhat!? You-β
Before the guy I collided with completing his sentence, I already made my move and slashed his neck as well.
βTsk! How would I know that one of them is a healer!? Letβs throw this people away before anyone notices!β
I open a portal to the basement of my home. Thatβs where Sunny should be at the moment. She will enjoy absorbing these twoβs blood as nourishment. What a scary flower.
βLetβs go for the next one... I guess we will delay our patrol. Wendy is here.β
I looked up at the sky and waved my hand to show Wendy where I am. And Iβm right that sheβs actually looking for me.
βRoy! Something happened to Kayla and the others! You have to go to the campus right away!β Wendy said as soon as she descended.
βWhat level is the problem? From one to ten. One is where the girls can just ignore it, and ten is where the only solution is to kill everyone involved. Beyond that, running away is the only option.β
β...the difference from one to ten is too drastic. Anyway, it was Kayla who asked you to come. She said if itβs you, you might be able to use this as a chance.β Wendy said. π§rπ¦π²wπ¦ππ§oπ·π¦π‘.coπ
βA chance for what? I guess I have to go there to check on the situation then. What a pain... Itβs just the day when the result of the exam is posted. What would happen during the school year?β
βEveryone will be focused on the tournament once itβs announced. No one would bother on other things by then.β Wendy said.
βYouβre right. I think thatβs the only thing Iβm looking forward for the school year. Letβs go. They should be waiting for me.β
Since the common sense of this world make people think that air element is too weak and unsuitable for combat, the chance of the students diligently going to my class will decrease once they find out about the tournament. They will prefer to take other classes, subjugating monsters, or cultivating.
If my guess is right, then we can use this chance as Kayla said to announce the tournament. For now, letβs take a look at the problem the girls are facing.
