20 D-deja vu? (1/2)

”Yuri, there's going to be a track meet next month and I need you to participate.”

”Ehhhhh...”

I was currently once again corned by Akane Tanaka on the rooftop.

Yeah, in the game and in real life, roofs are my sanctuary.

But this girl….I swear, she gets on my nerves. But for now I'll do as she says, I've got nothing to lose after all and it's actually entertaining.

”The Fall Track Meet right? Okay, just send me the details and I'll go.” I crisply stated while polishing up the rest of my sandwich.

In case you were wondering, my real lunch was already trashed by some certain people earlier, but I always kept a reserve sandwich just in case.

Watching me eat my lunch with a slightly tilted head, Akane inquired in confusion.

”Hey you know, why do you like being bullied? I can tell that you can easily overwhelm those brats while fighting.”

Copying her movement, I also tilted my head to the side.

”Oh my, I will answer that question…..maybe once I feel like telling you?”

Having her expectations crushed, she pouted in frustration and left the rooftop in a sulking manner.

Pffffft, although she's annoying, it's very refreshing teasing her like this. I suppose it's made school life just a tad more enjoyable than before.

Also, everyone seemed to be so excited about new students that I was completely ignored today, except for my lunch, no bullying! Have they all finally forgotten about me? That would be nice I suppose.

While enjoying the view of the large school field, the ringing of the school bell soon ruined my peace and signaled the start of another period.

Welp, let's head on down!

Bad news…..looks like my first suspicion was correct and Eugene was going to transfer next Monday.

But worse, apparently, another girl will also be transferring at the same time. Hopefully, I won't have anything to do with her…..

Alright, let's just forget about this, for now, I can't do anything about it anyways. I'll aim to level up my mask these two days!

Walking into the empty house, I decided to head straight into the game.

Reappearing in the tree that I had logged off in, I went around my usual route to look for violent players that seemed to be causing trouble.

After all, I still have a conscience to not kill innocent players who are trying to simply enjoy grinding mobs.

While hunting for PK players, my mind wandered back to what Toku had said this morning.

So one of my brothers has finally decided to dip their feet into romance. How interesting! Especially if it's Toku, his girlfriend must be a really entertaining girl, to even catch the attention of my little brother. While still stuck in my thoughts, I heard a shout ring out.

”Hey! We're just trying to grind some monsters, leave us alone!”

”In your dreams you brat, if you want to grind you better way us a fee! This is our property.”

Oh? I hear some players nearby! Let's head on over.

Making sure my hood and gloves were equipped, I stealthily made my way over to the shouting.

In the small clearing, there was a party of three surrounded by a large group of ten men.

Hm? I'm getting a sudden sense of deja vu. But I can't really just jump right in without a reason, I'll see what happens.

”Hey don't worry! Just one gold coin for each of ya and we'll let you go without dying!” The largest man said while wolfishly grinning from ear to ear. ”We promise!”

The sense of deja vu I'm getting is overflowing my mind. I don't think I can take it anymore….at any rate, might as well clean this up. The victims are obvious in this situation, it's impossible to buy land in this forest anyways.

Quietly landing back on the ground, I circled around to the blind spot of the group's leader and nocked three arrows on my bow.

Flying true to my aim, all three arrows reached their target, the eyes of three unsuspecting men who were standing behind the party of three.

In the face of my overwhelming stats, they were all instantly killed, turning to white particles before disappearing.
