Kevin: Not as Wise as Mei

The next morning, Gwen woke up refreshed and quickly washed up. Looking in the mirror at himself, dressed in the boys' uniform of the Senba Academy, seemingly no different from any other male high school student, he felt a little dazed.

However, the sweat he had shed over the past two years was not an illusion; after a moment of confusion, Gwen's eyes regained their clarity.

Although he is still a high school student, he is no ordinary high school student. In fact, he is the kind of male high school student who saves the world in Japanese light novels.

After all, judging from the current situation, Gwen really does have a chance to save the world...

Gwen smiled at his reflection in the mirror, turned around, fastened the box on the bedside table, transferred the four Crystal Flower inside to his system inventory, left the apartment, and headed towards the Senba Academy.

Meanwhile, unlike Gwen, who was in a good mood, Raiden Mei, with a cold expression, walked into her classroom, enduring piercing gazes and hearing hushed taunts.

My father once said that a swordsman must have the composure to face any storm. Even if one cannot reach the level described in the Divine Land folklore, "Let him be strong, the breeze still caresses the mountain; let him be fierce, the moon still shines over the river; let him be ruthless, I still have enough true energy," one must still strive towards that level.

Only by being completely focused can you unleash the sharpest strike.

Although she once cried her eyes out in her rented apartment because of her current situation, Raiden Mei knew that crying would not change the facts, so she tried her best to be strong and regarded all the hardships she was going through as a test from God...

Even as she tried to console herself, when she reached her seat and smelled the familiar, unpleasant odor of glue, a wave of gloom washed over Raiden Mei.

Without even looking, Raiden Mei, who was already familiar with those people's moves, knew that the chair had definitely been coated with glue, and the desk hole and even under the desk would be no exception. As long as she sat down, the campus forum would inevitably be filled with "universal celebration".

As for reporting to the teacher and requesting a thorough investigation?

It's nothing serious, so let's not waste the time of the teachers and students.

After all, checking school surveillance footage requires following procedures.

Having received similar replies several times already, Raiden Mei barely even flinched. She calmly opened her bag, took out a cushion and placed it on her chair, then stuck a layer of paper under and in the desk drawer before sitting down and beginning to clean the desk, which she hadn't touched all day.

Although there was no glue on the table, it was very likely that something irritating had been spilled on it. With her experience, Raiden Mei took out an alcohol wipe and carefully wiped the table.

However, although Raiden Mei arrived early to clear her seat, there were still several other students in the classroom who arrived very early as well.

Watching Raiden Mei's actions, the students whispered among themselves, saying things like, "Such a refined young lady," and "So pretentious, her family must be filthy rich, she's afraid of being punished by heaven..."

Although Raiden Mei couldn't hear clearly, she instantly imagined what her classmates were saying, but she just ignored it.

A few months ago, Raiden Mei would have tried to explain herself or even taken action because of this.

But now, having gradually become familiar with everything, Raiden Mei, while still unable to remain indifferent, no longer experiences significant emotional fluctuations because of it.

What others whisper about is their freedom, why bother with them...

A few months ago, when Raiden Mei was somewhat emotionally unstable, she privately questioned a classmate and received the answer that "she did this just to fit in; if she didn't stand up to you, she would be ostracized." For the first time, Raiden Mei realized the dark side of school that she had never been exposed to before, and as a result, she gained a little more understanding for those ordinary classmates...

Seeing that Raiden Mei made no comment, the students quickly quieted down again.

Although they would adapt to the "trend" and mock Raiden Mei to fit in, these ordinary students, who were not qualified to know the thoughts of those important figures, would only mutter a few words out of habit.

And this was merely Raiden Mei's appetizer for the day—

Soon, as time passed, more and more students filled the classroom, and so did the gazes that made Raiden Mei particularly uncomfortable.

Helpless to do anything about it, Raiden Mei could only try to ignore it and silently look at the textbook in her hands.

However, even though reason tells her that she must be patient, Raiden Mei still can't help but have violent thoughts arising in her heart due to the accumulating negative emotions, such as taking a knife and chopping all these people up, or slapping that hateful face.

However, these were ultimately just fleeting thoughts in Raiden Mei's mind—

Although she practiced her family's swordsmanship from a young age, Raiden Mei did not consider herself invincible because of it.

On the contrary, after emerging from her embarrassing chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) phase, Raiden Mei clearly realized that the power of swords could only exist in works of art.

In reality, guns will only be more accurate and faster.

So, apart from that one time when she confronted that classmate with a wooden sword, Raiden Mei has always managed to control her emotions very well.

Her father's name had not yet been cleared, and she could not go to prison as well.

Just treat this as a form of spiritual practice...

As the school bell rang, the whispers in the classroom that had been bothering Raiden Mei quickly subsided, allowing her to breathe a silent sigh of relief.

Although she treated these gossips as a whetstone to sharpen her skills, reason prevailed, and the negative emotions in her heart did not disappear.

However, to the surprise of Raiden Mei and all the students, their history teacher and homeroom teacher, who was always very punctual, not only did not arrive at the classroom early today, but did not even check the time.

Just as some whispers broke out in the classroom again, familiar footsteps came from the corridor, quieting the students down once more.

Then, what the homeroom teacher said after entering the classroom caused an immediate uproar—

"Classmates, we have a new student joining our class today. Let's welcome them!"

As he spoke, the serious-looking history teacher began to applaud.

The students below the stage were surprised, but they still applauded in response.

It's almost the end of the semester, and a transfer student comes in... Seriously?

While some students were surprised and thinking to themselves, others with keener senses quickly realized that this transfer student might not be a simple transfer student...

Amid applause, the history teacher who had brought Gwen from the administration office to the classroom waved to the outside. Gwen, who had been waiting outside, then entered the classroom, his gaze sweeping over the students before finally settling on the purple-haired girl who was also looking at him with some curiosity.

Chapter 129 Kevin: The Wisdom Without May

A transfer student?

Hearing the news announced by the history teacher, Raiden Mei was a little surprised. After all, there was only one month left until the end of the semester, and transferring schools at this time was not a good idea.

Despite her doubts, Raiden Mei still clapped to welcome her new classmate.

Soon, the transfer student walked into the classroom, causing some students to whisper among themselves, discussing Gwen's appearance or speculating about Gwen identity.

However, none of this has anything to do with Raiden Mei—

Given her current status in the class, no one would be foolish enough to strike up a conversation with her.

Raiden Mei wasn't infatuated with Gwen; she simply thought he was indeed very handsome.

But... he seems to be looking in my direction?

Raiden Mei, Gwen was looking at Gwyn, seemed a little confused.

Meanwhile, in the Sea of Quantum, Kevin, whose vision was synchronized with Gwen's, also saw everything that Gwen had seen.

Looking at Raiden Mei in her school uniform, at that face that was exactly the same as in his Remembrance except for a pair of glasses, Kevin's heart, which had been as still as a glacier, was suddenly stirred by a storm...

"Hello everyone, my name is Yuzuru..."

Sensing the mental fluctuations in Kevin's voice on the other end, Gwen, while introducing himself according to his established persona, asked curiously,

"What's wrong, Kevin?"

Or rather, it's a rhetorical question that one already knows the answer to.

In the game, it has been clearly confirmed that Mei and Mei look very similar.

Naturally, Gwen wondered if Kevin, upon suddenly seeing Mei from her middle school days, would mistake her for a younger Mei.

Judging from Kevin's current emotional state, Kevin is certainly affected, at least since he hasn't seen the information before.

"...nothing."

Kevin, pulled from the meeting by Gwen's question, remained silent for a moment, his voice as calm and indifferent as ever.

Although the face is indeed very similar, or even exactly the same.

But Kevin was certain that it wasn't May—

In the girl's eyes, there was no wisdom or composure that Kevin was familiar with; instead, she seemed like the original Pardo, always vigilant about the dangers around her...

"Um..."

Gwen was not surprised to notice Kevin's rapid return to calm and to guess that Kevin had not mistaken him for someone else.

After all, Kevin was recalling a period of 50,000 years in his short memories, so it's surprising that he mistook someone else for someone else.

Soon, the standard procedures for transfer students were completed, and the homeroom teacher prepared to assign a seat to Gwen.

However, before the teacher could make a decision, Gwen spoke first—

"Teacher, there's no need to trouble yourself. I see there's still an empty seat over there, so I'll just use that one..."

Gwen said, pointing to the empty seat next to Raiden Mei.

"..."

Knowing Raiden Mei's current predicament, the homeroom teacher instinctively wanted to advise Gwen not to create trouble for himself just to save himself some trouble.

However, considering that this was not something that could be discussed openly, and that Gwen clearly had connections to transfer in at this time, the homeroom teacher simply gave up.

The affairs of these young masters and ladies are not something an ordinary history teacher like him can meddle in. At most, he can just wait for Gwen to find out the situation and then change seats.

"Thank you for your understanding, Yuzuru. You can sit there for now. If you can't see clearly from there, you can change seats later..."

The homeroom teacher nodded in approval of Gwen's request, leaving him with a reason for changing seats later.

Meanwhile, the students below the stage, who were still speculating about Gwen's self-introduction, all showed expressions of surprise.

The name Gwen was currently using had initially piqued some interest among the students—

The surname Yuan is not a simple surname in Japan.

Even in modern times, when some commoners mistakenly used the surnames of noble families, very few would dare to use their original surname—

Even most common people who were illiterate back then knew that the surname Yuan was something only true noblemen could use.

However, the curiosity generated by Gwen's pseudonym proved utterly ineffective when Gwen chose to sit next to Raiden Mei.

You know, that's Raiden Mei, the "untouchable" at the Senba Academy. I heard that a transfer student in the lower grades once spoke up for her, and now he's also being ostracized. Is there going to be someone like that in our class now?

As for Raiden Mei, the other protagonist in this matter, she was naturally also very surprised.

However, Raiden Mei, just like her teacher, simply interpreted it as Gwen not wanting to cause trouble for his teacher...

Of course, even though she understood it this way, Raiden Mei also quietly became wary—

After her father lost power, Raiden Mei faced unprecedented exclusion and bullying at school, but she also received a lot of "warmth and concern" outside of school. However, the truth was that those people were just hoping to get information from Raiden Mei that would allow them to take a bite out of ME Company.

Although this kind of person hasn't appeared for two months, Raiden Mei wouldn't forget about their existence so quickly.

Moreover, even if Gwen isn't that kind of person, the reason he chose to sit next to me is simply because he doesn't understand Senba Academy.

Raiden Mei believed that once Gwen understood her situation, he would choose to leave, and that he, who had once been her deskmate, would become even more so in order to fit in...

While Raiden Mei was lost in thought with her head down, Gwen, carrying a stack of textbooks, had already arrived at his seat, put down the books, and sat down leisurely.

After briefly arranging things for the transfer student Gwen, the homeroom teacher began her teaching.

Meanwhile, Gwen didn't immediately strike up a conversation with Raiden Mei. Instead, he listened to the lecture while slowly flipping through his history textbook... even though Gwen didn't understand most of it.

In his previous life, Gwen was not a big fan of Japanese manga. He only read subtitled versions of the manga and the pink app, and his understanding of Japanese was very limited.

Gwen is now able to live comfortably in Japan thanks to the advanced training he received from the various branches, including the further study of Japanese by Wuse Huohuo.

Beside Gwen, Raiden Mei didn't initiate any conversation, simply listening quietly to the lesson.

Faced with rumors and gossip at school and strange looks from her classmates, all Raiden Mei can do is study hard, try to get into a good university, and try to become an excellent lawyer so that she can clear her father's name in the future.

Meanwhile, the students who were responsible for writing short essays and taking the lead in the operation against Raiden Mei were eager to make a few comments, but because they didn't know whether this Gen was just coincidentally surnamed Gen, or whether someone with powerful connections was preparing to help the Raiden Family, they held back for the time being out of fear of causing serious harm...

Because the current cover requires some recognition to identify the fireflies, we had the idea of changing the cover. Based on the votes in the product listing, the new cover has now been confirmed. We are informing you of this so that you can recognize it and avoid getting lost.

Secondly, some early parts of the book will be edited soon, with the main focus on the part about obtaining the cheat ability. Any suggestions for improvement on the other parts are welcome here, and the author will make appropriate revisions.

Finally, because the outline has undergone several changes, the original introduction is no longer applicable and we are preparing to revise it. We welcome everyone's valuable feedback.
