Chapter 41 41 The School's New Rule: Strength is Everything!
[Oh, oh, it's past twelve. Let me see yesterday's reward.]
[Yesterday's diary entry completed. Beginning reward distribution. You have received a third prize: the light novel "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime."]
On the other side.
[Yesterday's diary keeper received a third prize: the light novel "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime". Beginning selection of one diary copy holder to receive the same reward.]
[Selection complete. Congratulations to X X X · X X X for receiving the light novel "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" reward.]
Hakuto's face immediately darkened, 'Wow, another third prize. Was I really that unlucky?'
Hakuto claimed he didn't believe it. There must be some kind of fix. This diary was controlling the rewards, controlling them so that he only got the worst rewards!
[Damn it, I'm not unlucky! Although "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" sold over 20 million copies in my previous life, is that what I'm lacking?]
The group of people who had been poisoned late at night immediately laughed, 'Serves you right, you dog. Serves you right for poisoning us late at night. You deserve that you can't get good rewards.'
'But this "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" sold twenty million copies?'
[Damn it, I'm going to sleep. When I wake up tomorrow, I'll buy ingredients and then cook a good meal to comfort myself.]
'Tomorrow, Hakuto is going to cook something delicious?'
A group of people's eyes immediately lit up.
Those who knew Hakuto were already thinking about how to bum a meal off him tomorrow. Those who didn't could only secretly grit their teeth.
He woke up the next day.
After washing up and getting dressed, looking at his shabby apartment, Hakuto wondered if he should move or something. Although he had taken the desire ring from the landlord, who knew if he might have some other opportunity? After all, he was the male lead of a Hentai Anime.
'Maybe I should find a way to make that guy contribute to land reclamation?'
Looking at the ring on his finger, Hakuto pursed his lips. Kill someone? In both his previous life and this one, he had never done it.
What Hakuto didn't know was that his landlord had already been sent off to contribute to land reclamation. This apartment building was now under Kaguya's control.
Arriving at school, Hakuto walked into the classroom and saw a few people chatting.
"Hakuto, well done. Voyeur told us about what happened before."
Yuji said to Hakuto. Hakuto glanced at Voyeur and said, "No wonder I had a vague feeling someone was watching me. So it was you. But how did you hide?"
"Secret!"
Voyeur's answer made Hakuto lose interest in pressing further.
"By the way, Hakuto, I heard something is going to be announced today. Do you know what it is?"
Yuji asked Hakuto.
"About that, Natsuki-chan will probably announce it later. But since you asked, I'll tell you. It's about the Summoned Beasts. From now on, Summoned Beast Battles can be held between classes. If we beat Class A with our Summoned Beasts, then we become Class A, and Class A becomes Class F."
"You know about Class A's perks, right? Their facilities are much better than ours. After this semester started, Class A was directly turned into a high-end leisure club."
"That's true."
"And students who graduate from Class A also receive qualifications for further education or recruitment from certain listed companies from the school."
A sharp glint flashed in Yuji's eyes.
"The school wants us to compete!"
"That's right. The school wants us to compete, like raising poisonous insects, to cultivate the strongest insect king!"
Hakuto, being in the student council, knew about this in advance. But he didn't care. The conditions offered by the school weren't attractive to Hakuto.
"By the way, classes can also make various treaties with each other. Once signed, the treaty must be executed. Of course, the prerequisite is that the treaty is signed under the school's witness."
Hakuto suddenly looked at Mizuki.
"Himeji, you missed the exam due to illness and could only be assigned to Class F. Now, you can take this opportunity to move up to those excellent classes."
Hearing Hakuto's words, Mizuki showed a cute smile and said, "Hakuto, it's fine. Class F is not bad. Everyone is very warm and easy to get along with."
Hakuto nodded. As the only cute girl in Class F, she was naturally welcomed by the group of boys.
"Hakuto, do you think with Himeji, we could upgrade to Class A?"
Yuji suddenly spoke up to ask.
"No hope. The people in Class A are monsters. On our side, the only one who can form a fighting force is Himeji. And the student council president, Shinomiya Kaguya, is also in Class A. Her grades are only in the top ten."
"From that, you can imagine how terrifying Class A is. Even Himeji's grades are only in the top twenty. Compared to Kaguya, she's still a notch below. Even more so for us."
In the past two days, Hakuto had picked up some of his knowledge. Now, he was at most in the top hundred of the first-year students.
Even if he picked up all his knowledge, he would be at most in the top ten. To get first, he would also have to fight hard.
Fortunately, his body had been strengthened a few times, and his memory and comprehension had improved. In terms of studying, Hakuto believed he had a ninety percent chance of getting first.
Yuji frowned.
"Although you were called a prodigy as a child, Yuji, you were actually only about the same as Himeji. It's hard to even get into the top ten. So don't think about these things."
While Hakuto was speaking, Natsuki walked into the classroom. Then, she began to tell Hakuto and the others about the school's new rules, which were what Hakuto had mentioned earlier: strength is everything!
"All classes can challenge each other. So, do you want to try initiating a battle against another class?"
Natsuki said to the people in the class.
Hakuto looked at Natsuki. He felt like Natsuki was trying to incite them?
