At his dorm
…
'Well, I didn't know this.'
'Why is there a tattoo on my chest? '
A white dragon circling was at his chest, which is weird because he inherited the original owner's body, and yet he didn't remember this tattoo.
And he just knows this today, as he didn't bathe for 1 week after transmigrating.
His reason? Well, he just feels weird checking out another boy's body even though he inherited the memories and feelings.
'Well anyway, let's check my stats.'
[STATUS:]
Name: Sora Krimsley
Race: Half-human
Class: Swordsman
STR: F-
STM: F+
MANA: SS+
Origin: G-
Gift: (Art of sword—grants users swordplay the look of art; a single swing would look like the most perfect art; the better the sword, the stronger the effects)
(Last stand—at dying moments you will be granted a power-up from you in the future. Luck-based, it could be either the you from 1 year later or your full potential.)
…
'Well, my stats aren't that bad, just average compared to the main cast's.'
'Well, my mana is impressive, though mana is a natural-born stat, so having SS+ mana is quite rare; even the protagonist only got S. Well, this isn't useful for me anyways; my gift is focused on swords.' Thinking of this, I couldn't help but crave a mana art or a magic skill.
"Ah, that's right. What if I just showed my talents? The main cast would be annoying, but wouldn't I be stronger? I mean, I'm the reason why villains can infiltrate, but without me, can they still sneak in?"
I don't think they can bypass the headmaster, so I think I'm safe.
"Ok, let's not hide my potential; maybe if I'm lucky, I'll be the reason this world is saved, right?"
'Well enough thinking; let's finish bathing first and go to bed.'
…
Arriving at the classroom first, which I found quite interesting, as I don't really remember if I got in late or early in my life. Or maybe I just forgot.
'Hmm, if I'm not hiding, like being the behind-the-scenes extra as this guy? Couldn't I make friends? '
But how do I make friends? No one's near me anyway. Am I really that ugly?
But looking at this body's face in the mirror, it isn't inferior to the main cast.
Maybe because I'm a commoner?
But there are about 10 commoners in this class, though.
'Maybe I'm too handsome for them.' Yeah, that's right, that's the reason, and not because I didn't bathe for a week, right?
For sure that's not the reason.
…
'Ahh, class is really boring.' I know most of the history of this world, so listening for the first 3 weeks of class is useless.
Ahh, can't wait to choose my class. The MC is probably getting on 'fundamental swordplay' and 'basic mana control,' which I also need.
But getting the protagonist's attention this early would be troublesome later on. What if he dragged me?
Oh wait, wait, doesn't most novels where the MC transmigrates have the one who's attracting more targets than the so-called protagonist?
So am I a protagonist?
I'm a transmigator, so maybe I am? So wouldn't I likely get my golden spoon?
"System," as I said that in a quiet voice, I noticed everyone looking at me, and I realized I was still in class.
"Krimsley, would you like to share what you're thinking and teach it to everyone here?" the teacher said, full of sarcasm.
"No," that's all I said, simple and not because I'm scared.
I mean, she's a beauty; why would I be scared?
"One more and I'll really—argh, let's just leave it there," she said with a voice that almost ran out of patience.
What did I do wrong anyway? Sleeping and daydreaming aren't crimes, right?
So what's her problem? Good for her that she's stronger than me, or else…
…
Well, after being mentioned by the professor, I paid attention to the class.
And well, it's quite something.
The history I know is sometimes changed, or more like they changed the history.
In the novel it was said that the origin of aether, the best version of mana, was that the Devil ancestor was the one who discovered aether and later searched for a way for demons to use it, and that's how demonic energy was born, and which human got mana from
And in this world's history the human ancestors were the ones who said they discovered aether, and because the human body can't withstand the power of aether, they created mana, which the demon later stole and made their demonic mana.
Well, maybe the humans change history to not make the humans the stealers.
But why isn't this mentioned in the novel?
And why are the humans more hypocritical here than what the author showed in the novel?
Well, even if I think about it, I wouldn't receive an answer, so let's just leave it there.
