"No one's…no one has ever just sat down and talked with me like this before," she said then looked down . She nodded again as if confirming something within herself then made eye contact with Clyde . "Thank you . I'll end this tonight . " She stood . "Study session's over I guess . Just text me if you need anything else . You're a pretty cool guy, so I don't mind hanging out with you . "

She strolled out the door, her last words being, "see you in the morning . "

[Quest completed . You have earned 20 EXP but also a bonus 30 EXP for moving Chika's heart . ]

[Your relations.h.i.+p with Chika has changed from curious to friendly- a.s.sociate . ]

[Congratulations, you have reached level 3! Stats increased! You have learned the pa.s.sive skill, Heart Protection!]

Clyde smiled, eager to get home to see his stats, but before he could do so, he'd have to return the book he found . He pulled it from his inventory . The t.i.tle of it made him flinch .

[You have found the book of Magic Line, Energy . Item value: mysterious . Opening this book will teach you the Magic attack: Energy ball . Warning, it will vanish after one use . ]

Clyde's eyes widened . He had found a way to defend himself at last . At least in the case of a fist fight being impossible against certain enemies . Possible monsters like in the games .

He opened the book . It s.h.i.+mmered, turned into golden sparkles that resembled the most amazing snowflakes, and then he knew everything . Just like that .

He wanted to try this power out but restrained himself . No need to cause a stir . He smiled, feeling giddy . All his life, he wished he could shoot powers from his hands like a Dragon Ball Z character or a superhero . The knowledge to do so was now in his head . He'd practice as much as possible to level it up . The only problem now is to get out of Harumi's sights so that he wouldn't risk being spotted .

He took the time to read over a few of his other books before tossing them back into his inventory . He made sure not to leave the book Chika took off his lap . Thinking of that moment made him chuckle . This world was insane .

When he arrived at his apartment, he locked all the doors, showered, then got comfortable . It was tie to at last view his stats for the day .

If things continued to go this well, Clyde would get to a respectable level in no time . He could even skip school and set off to find the Viper…Or use the internet, send a calling card, and ambush it .

He returned Harumi's goodnight text then laid back . What if there were more things for him to do besides killing the Viper?

One step at a time, Clyde supposed . He'd overcome this trial . Get home . Forget this all .
