Volume 1 Chapter 42: If You Want to Gamble, Don't Cheat!

Among these facilities, aside from the employed staff, some of the service providers were students who had become "livestock." The wages from these jobs within the school were far better than outside, making this high school arguably the best-treated in the world, not considering gambling, of course.

However, due to a new policy instituted by the new Student Council President, every student had to pay an additional fee each ...

Volume 1 Chapter 41: The Hidden Resistance Organization of the School

During the lunch break, Kiyohei had intended to find Mary to have lunch together, but she was nowhere to be found. He searched both the classroom and the gambling area, but neither Mary nor Tsuzura could be located. Kiyohei had no choice but to go to the cafeteria alone.

However, he wasn't entirely alone for lunch. Sitting across from him was Kurume.

"Cheer up, why so glum?" Kurume wrapped the end of a chi...

042 Declaring Love Aloud

Momo smiled, his eyes reflecting only Asuna's figure.

Asuna also looked at Momo, at the reflection of herself in his eyes. She could sense that at this moment, this boy in front of her had only her in his eyes and heart.

Only her, Yuuki Asuna.

In an instant, Asuna knew it was time to make some choices.

She chose to face it, to face Momo.

However, with her choice made, the previous unease and nervousness vanished. She believed that n...

Volume 1 Chapter 40: The Student Council President's Authority

After repeatedly assuring herself that she wouldn't get addicted to gambling, Mary left. At an unknown time, she returned to the classroom and sat next to her friends, observing the situation. Kuroki, who had been observing from here, timely returned.

"Kiyohei, it seems your good intentions weren't appreciated by that lady," Kuroki sat down and clicked his tongue in amazement. "I know that person, Mary Saotome, right? ...

041: Like a Dream

"Argo!"

Asuna shouted anxiously, but by the time she got to her feet, Argo had already run off.

A sense of injustice surged in Asuna's heart. She truly didn't know what she had done wrong to upset Argo. If it was indeed her fault, she was willing to make amends no matter what. However, it seemed that Argo wasn't giving her that chance.

"Argo..."

Just then, Argo, who had run about ten meters away, suddenly turned back, laughing loudly.

"Hey...

040: I Hate Both of You

"Both of you are really something, one goes out hunting without a word, staying out overnight without leaving any messages. The other doesn't know anything, yet dares to come out and throw herself into danger. At this rate, neither of you will survive for long!"

Argo's criticism left Asuna feeling ashamed. Looking back, her actions did seem a bit impulsive.

"Please don't blame him... It's all my fault, it's all on me. Actually, for these past few days...

039: Attack of Asuna

The dark wilderness lay before her, almost obscuring everything ahead. The only source of light was the dim moonlight that provided a faint glimmer.

Behind her was the gate of Tolbana, and in front of her, the pitch-black expanse of the wilderness.

Going back would take her to the warm confines of the inn, but going forward would lead her to unknown dangers.

Even death.

Asuna hesitated.

And her hesitation was only natural. She had no id...

038: Leaving the Room

Momo didn't return.

Asuna had confirmed this fact dozens of times, yet she still found it hard to believe.

Momo didn't return.

There was no familiar sound of the door opening, no comfort from outside the door, and no cake placed outside.

Momo didn't return.

Asuna's stomach began to rumble with hunger. She brought up her menu to check the time; it was already past 6:00 PM. Momo had always returned on time around this hour, never missing...

Mary was at a loss for words.

She wasn't unintelligent and quickly understood Kiyohei's meaning.

"Even if Kokoro's little group doesn't approach me, what about the others? What about those 'livestock' people? Why has no one else apart from Kokoro come to me?"

Mary huffed in annoyance: "I helped them defeat the mini-boss Kokoro, shouldn't these oppressed villagers actively interact with this 'hero' of their...

Argo didn't say anything more. She shrunk into Momo's embrace, crying silently.

"I can only admit that I have a favorable impression of you right now. It's probably just at the level of liking. However, what you're asking for is wholehearted love, and I can't provide that right now. Even you, I suppose, are only at the level of liking and impulsiveness, right?"

Argo didn't directly answer. After about ten seconds of silence, she said, "That's the worst ex...

Volume 1 Chapter 38: Kiyohei Placed in Play

Kiyohei stepped out of the casino and took a deep breath. The air felt considerably fresher.

Having spent the entire morning in the casino, his head was spinning a little, resembling the feeling after staying up all night.

He couldn't help but wonder just how bad the mental condition of those gamblers who spent all their time in the casino was. Their emotions constantly shifted between elation and despair—weren't they afraid of s...

036: I Forgot How to Lie

A cold sword, accompanied by a dazzling light, brought a spark of hope.

Thrown sword skills did minimal damage, but it still exceeded a regular attack, being enough to finish off monsters that could be killed by ordinary attacks. And if a regular attack could kill, the last bit of health could certainly be taken down by a thrown sword skill.

This time, the level 2 plain Fang Dagger drove into the rat's head, directly penetrating it. The sword's radia...

Argo had already closed her eyes.

Was she going to die like this?

Tears streamed down her cheeks. Even Argo, who had always pretended to be cheerful, couldn't muster a smile at this moment.

She thought she had gained the upper hand in the game, bringing in a capable player as backup to complete the quest early and set her intelligence-gathering work on the right track. But the result wasn't just that she harmed herself; she had also harmed...

Chapter 5: How Is the Gap So Wide!

Lin Yu's addition finalized the first-year team's lineup, consisting of Lin Yu, Rukawa, Ishii, Mito, and Kuwata.

The upperclassmen's team was composed of Akagi, Mitsui, Yasuda, Tsunematsu, and Urushizaki.

In terms of height, the absence of Sakuragi put the first-year team at a disadvantage.

"Even though they're first-years, we shouldn't underestimate them. Let's assign defensive matchups."

Akagi scanned Lin Yu's group and began ...

A crisp sound, like marbles colliding, echoed from the black box in Kiyohei's hands.

He propped up his head with one hand and lazily shook the box in his other hand.

Kuroki sat upright in front of him, like a hunting dog searching for prey, ears perked, eyes fixed on the black box in Kiyohei's hand.

Kiyohei tapped the box on the table and asked aloud, "Odd or even?"

"Even!" Kuroki hesitated for a mome...

The rooftop of the teaching building wasn't deserted, but rather a small garden with some rare flowers planted.

Near the flowerbeds, there were many benches for resting. Unfortunately, not many people came here during lunchtime. From the perspective of Kiyohei and Mary, they could only see the solitary figure of Tsuzura among the flower handballs.

As expected, she was having lunch on the rooftop, jus...

034 Unexpected Surprise

With Momo and Argo side by side, they entered the wilderness. At night, monsters' attributes were boosted, elite monsters and bosses were more likely to appear, so very few people would venture out to level up at night, especially when everyone lacked the courage.

However, even with the attribute boost, scattered LV1 wild boars wouldn't pose a threat to Momo and Argo. Both of them were at LV3, one with combat experience equivalent to Kirito's and the other ...

Lin Yu opened the draw card, and before him appeared a prize roulette.

There were many prizes on the roulette, including attribute point cards, basketball technique cards, buff cards, and more.

"Let's go for a buff card!"

After glancing at the prizes, Lin Yu pressed the draw button and shouted in his heart, "Here we go!"

As the draw button was pressed, the pointer on the roulette spun rapidly, passing over various prizes.

Argo couldn't help but marvel at Momo's appearance. Momo's looks, not quite a full ten, were at least a solid 9.5.

Momo's appearance in his previous life was average, but after experiencing a full hundred years of adventure and rejuvenating in this world, this blend of youthful vigor and mature composure exuded an aura that demanded attention.

Even more importantly, as a Servant, despite not having any enhanced power compared to mortals, Momo had trans...

Shohoku, Basketball Gymnasium.

"Yohei, look, the exchange student is back."

As Lin Yu entered the gymnasium, Takamiya Nozomi, who had been looking around, spotted him.

Upon hearing Takamiya's words, Mitsui Hisashi, Rukawa Kaede, and a few others turned their heads to look.

"This exchange student has such a weak constitution. It seems like he's not suited for basketball."

"Compared to freaks like Sakuragi, of course, there's a ...

However, this fast leveling technique can only be used when you're LV1.

Inside this blacksmith shop, all weapons are LV10 or below, and you can forge weapons using 1st level skills. Therefore, Momo can only rapidly level up during the LV1 stage.

While LV2 still only requires 100 experience points, you need to forge 10 LV1 stage weapons to gain a small amount of experience points. This leveling system is indeed very strict, but it encourages players t...

On the dimly lit streets, groups of players huddled together.

The light was dim, but one could still see the exhaustion on their faces. Although they had black bread and dried fruits, and could sleep on the streets, the game aimed to simulate Sword Art Online realistically, so these makeshift rests wouldn't provide enough recovery.

Even if it wasn't displayed in the status bar, this makeshift rest couldn't alleviate players' mental stress.

The Dark Elf spat and swatted away Momo's hand, saying, "I just like Col, that's all. Don't wander around my place without a reason, I hate seeing you."

Faced with such a characterful NPC, Reimu was also stunned. The Dark Elf pretending to be human definitely had deep secrets, and it seemed that no one in the original story had discovered her.

Facing the Dark Elf's obvious aversion, Momo became even happier and patted his waist. "Rest...

When Mary was causing trouble for Kokoro, Kiyohei was also asking others in their class if they had seen Tsuzura or knew where she usually went. He approached a few easy-going students, but they all shook their heads, claiming ignorance.

Just as Kiyohei was about to head to the gambling den to meet up with Mary, a girl with short hair spoke softly, "Are you looking for Tsuzura? She's probably on the rooftop now."

"Really? I feel like she's thoroughly scared. With her current state, can she even go out to conquer the game in the future?" Reimu's doubt was reasonable, considering that Asuna now looked no different from any other frightened player.

Her question was more out of curiosity than a challenge. After all, the girl in front of them was undoubtedly Asuna, the future Asuna the ‘Flash’, the strongest female player known as the Clearer.
