A year have passed

  Today is the day when I become a high school student . I was wearing my new uniform and standing in front of the mirror .

  “.……It suits me well, I guess . ”


  It was an ordinary uniform . A deep blue colored blazer and trouser, a necktie and a white shirt . But I couldn’t help but feel obnoxious seeing myself wearing it with half-dead eyes in front of the mirror .

  Before I realized, Karen who halted her steps inside the corridor was gazing at me .

  “.……Does it suit me?”


  “Maybe it will if you do something about those dead eyes . ”


  “Yeah……”


  My sister got quite the sharp tongue .

  Karen is now a third-year middle schooler; she changed her hairstyle to a ponytail this time and was wearing a different school uniform as well .

  It’s a ponytail today, huh?

  So I thought as I saw Karen’s hair . She has a habit of changing her hairstyle to different shapes and varieties very often . I always wondered how troublesome it is for her to change it every week .

  “Your uniform looks well on you too . ”


  “Yeah . ”


  Said Karen before she turned to the other direction .

  She’s the type who doesn’t let their emotions reach their face, but I’m still her brother .

  I can immediately imagine what she’s thinking about just from her actions .

  For instance, when she turned to the other side right now, she’s definitely twitching her mouth, which reveals that she’s happy but trying to hide it .

  I’m not sure as to why she tries to hide that fact, but my sister had already entered puberty . Perhaps she’s taking such attitude because of her age .

  However, my dear sister, Onii-chan can read through all your little tricks . I let a smirk show in my face as I was thinking about that .

  “What are you smirking all alone? Disgusting . ”


  A sharp tongue indeed .

  I responded with a bitter smile then heard my mother’s voice calling us from the lower floor .

  “It’s about time, both of you!”


  “I’m on my way! Let’s go, Karen”


  “Okay . ”


  We both descended the stairs .

  “Here’s your lunch box . ”


  “Thanks, mom . ”


  “Thank you . ”


  We received our lunch boxes and placed them in our bags .

  “You’re now a high school student . Make sure to behave well in the opening ceremony . ”


  “I know . ”


  “You too, Karen-chan . Be extra careful this time since you don’t know the way to school yet . ”


  “Right . ”


  “Okay then, have a good day!”


  We exited from the entrance door as my mother was seeing us off .

  After what happened last year, we ended up moving due to various reasons .

  Although the main one was because of me .

  The first thing I had after waking up again that day, was a police interview . And from then, every time I heard the police visiting, I pretend to be asleep . I can’t tell them something ridiculous as that my classmates went to a different world, after all .

  Anyway, I was able to deceive the police that way, however, that wasn’t the case for the media . The topic became widely prominent in news programs resulting in people pouring all their attention to me…… in a bad way .

  Due to the persistent reporters intruding in our home, we had to unavoidably move our address . That’s why I felt pretty bad for my family .

  “I’m going this way . ”


  “Is that so . Try to no get lost . ”


  “That’s none of your business!”


  exclaimed Karen as she took a separate way, leaving me alone heading to my new school .

  ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー


  Arriving at my new high school, the entrance door was rustling by the many students around .

  I was giving a flower to put on top of my chest pocket and was lead to the gym where I had to take a seat and wait for the ceremony to start . I Honestly felt bored .

  “.…… I guess I’ll skip it . ”


  It will be fine as long as I go back to the classroom by the end of the convention . While considering the time, I stealthily sneaked out of the gym .

  ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー


  Now that I sneaked out, what should I do?

  I started loitering inside the new, unfamiliar school . The inside was unexpectedly wide, so I remained walking while I decided to verify my status .

  How can I say this…… I may have gone a bit too far .

  All that I did was almost cast 【Sleeping strength magic】every night before sleeping, but who thought that this will be the result after activating it every day for a whole year .

  To top it off, the 【Super growth skill upgraded【Sleeping strength magic】 to 【Super Sleeping strength magic】throughout the way . Thanks to that, the experience I acquired had drastically increased . Well, leveling up is not a bad thing, after all .

  About the other skills, for the 【Fire magic】,【Water magic】 and the rest, I casually made them just because I wanted . I mean, wouldn’t it be great if I were to go to a different world and be praised as ‘the possessor of all nature elements!!’? That would be amazing .

  However, despite creating them, I didn’t have the chance to use them at all, which explains why they didn’t level up .

  It’s like the modern world is telling me that it doesn’t need any magic .

  As for 【Teleportation magic】, It was a pretty convenient skill I created for moving from place to place, though I had a feeling that I’d turn into a hopeless person if I kept using it so I stopped doing so midway .

  【Space magic】is similar to the one in light novels where a person can have an infinite storage space . I created it thinking that it would be useful, but in the end, its purpose wasn’t truly fulfilled, There isn’t that much stuff that I want to store in the first place, so it felt kinda useless .

  【Sword skills】was obtained when I was randomly swinging a rod . I thought that it would grant me something like stick skills, but I guess my recognition played its role at that time . When I hold a stick and imagine it as a sword, it will then be recognized as 【Sword skills】 . Although it is called like that, I didn’t get the chance to use a sword anyway, but at least I became somewhat better at using the kitchen knife . Well, my culinary skills are still bad, though .

  【Boxing skills】is an upgrade from the skill【martial arts】 I obtained first . Owing to this one, my physical abilities had immensely advanced . I became able to easily crash a huge rock if I hit it seriously . At that moment I made a promise to myself to not use that hit against a human .

  【Body enhancement】is the same as the previous one . It was merely 【Body enhancement】at first, then leveled to 【Body enhancement (medium)】 due to 【super growth】 . It also allows an extreme ascending to my physical abilities when used .

  I have already attempted using it several times, however, I don’t think I will be using it ever again . It risks resulting in someone’s death .

  With this and that, I spent a year discovering and expanding my new abilities, although I keep wondering whether all of this was really necessary or not .

  Magic is not useful in this world, nor are the sword and fighting related skills, since I’m not the type who picks up quarrels . Rather, I do my best to avoid them .

  When I think about it this way, I realize that all of this was worthless .

  I halted my steps to gaze at the sakura trees while pondering about such a thing when abruptlyーーーーーI noticed a girl collapsing before my eyes .
