Chapter 32: Being a good student is hard
In the morning, unlike before when Mizuto needed to prepare breakfast, Yuni took this task and even prepared a bento lunch for them. Frankly, he was happy since making food was quite troublesome.
"Is it okay, Yuni-san?"
"Yes, or you don't like it, Mizuto-kun?"
"No, I love it. It feels like I have a mother."
"...."
Somehow, Yuni wanted to cry.
Mineaki was also happy that Mizuto had accepted Yuni.
However, watching how warm this family was, Yume felt a little guilty as she didn't want to have a family relationship with Mizuto.
What she wished was to be with him, be a lover.
Yet, watching him, who was happy to receive the affection from a mother that he had never had before, it made Yume wonder whether she was selfish. Still, when she thought about what had happened last night, she knew that she wasn't the only one who felt like this, as he should be feeling the same, right?
Still, suddenly, he said something that surprised everyone.
"Huh? Do you want to get a driver's license?" 2x
Mineaki and Yuni were surprised.
"Yes, I plan to get a motorcycle driving license."
"...you want to buy a motorcycle?"
"Yes." Mizuto nodded. "I have saved from my job, and it is my dream to ride one. Please." He was practically begging, but this was how to ask as children; this was how to ask parents, right?
"..."
Mineaki and Yuni didn't answer him immediately since they felt a bit worried about him riding a motorcycle, but they also knew how dependable and how they could trust him, but why so suddenly?
"But work? Besides the housework, did you do other work?" Mineaki asked curiously.
"Um, I wrote a thesis for a university student."
"...the-thesis?" 2x
Mizuto was frank and told him that he did this work after he finished his entrance exam, giving him quite a sum of money.
"....." 2x
Mineaki and Yuni fell in silence since they knew while he was smart, they didn't expect that he would be as smart as he could write a thesis for a university student. As for whether it was legal or not, this wasn't their consideration, as they were too dumbfounded to ask about this matter.
Still, after they talked to him for a while, they finally gave him permission since he had prepared everything and they knew that he was ready. Moreover, he had never asked for anything as he was independent, so they wanted to spoil him.
"If your money isn't enough, tell us."
"Yes, you don't need to be reserved with us."
Mizuto wanted to refuse, but when he saw their expressions, he nodded. "If I don't have enough, then I will tell you two."
"That's great."
With that permission, Mizuto told them his plan was to go to the driving school to register so he could get his driving license as soon as possible. They also didn't mind and told him that they believed in him.
As they had given him permission, he knew that he could get his motorcycle, which was something that he had dreamed of, and he didn't need to worry about being molested again.
After finishing their breakfasts, he then went to the school with Yume. If it was in the original, they wouldn't go to school together, but this time, it was different since their relationship was so close.
"Can I go with you?"
"You want to go with me?"
"Is that not okay?"
"I don't mind, but isn't it better for you to go out with your classmates so you can get to know each other?"
"Well..."
How could she say that many of her classmates were aiming for him and got close to her with the intention of introducing them to him?
Watching her hesitation, he sighed inwardly, then said, "Well, if you want, we can go together."
"Really?"
"We might take a long walk, though."
"It's no problem!"
"Okay, let's go together later."
Hearing that answer, Yume smiled, but then, she looked at his hand. Usually, that hand would hold her hand firmly, but that wasn't the case now.
Why didn't he hold her hand?
As she was in a dilemma, Mizuto looked at his smartphone, learning all the knowledge necessary for the driving test. Frankly, he could buy the driving license directly from the "Store," and there was no need for him to do something troublesome such as joining a driving school. However, it wouldn't hurt to join one time for an experience. Moreover, even if he was transmigrated, the country where he was living before wasn't this country, and joining the driving school definitely would be a good experience.
Still, the 2nd job which he had chosen was definitely the right thing to do. While the "Lover" might help him in his chaotic relationship, he just wanted to focus on Yume now since she was the most stable among all the women around him. Moreover, they lived under the same roof, which made many things more convenient.
He was just in high school, after all, and there were many inconvenient things if he wanted to do something.
Nevertheless, similar to "Merchant," the "Student" also had two passive skills and five active skills.
Those passive skills were a "Study Group" and "Youth."
Meanwhile, the active skills were "Sports Student," "Arts Student," "Humanities Student," "Science Student," and "Reading."
In other words, there was no doubt those skills would make him the best student in the world.
Still, he might need to explain all of those skills so everyone could understand what was used in those skills. Starting from his passive skill, he looked at the description of the "Study Group."
---
Study Group.
Learning faster with everyone.
---
So, if he studied with more than one person, the speed of his learning would be faster. Probably, it also affected the learning speed of those who learned with him, but naturally, it was much slower than him. Yet, even so, there was no doubt this skill was great as it was mutually beneficial for him and those who learned with him.
So what about his next passive skill?
'Youth, huh?'
---
Youth.
Your body will always be young.
---
"...."
Amazed.
This is probably the only way to describe his thoughts.
When one is older, the body function naturally declines more than when one was in youth. However, with this skill, his body had always been young and in the optimum, which made him dumbfounded.
Still, naturally, this skill wasn't as amazing as gaining eternal youth, as he could still die from old age. However, even as he aged, he knew that his body function would be the same as when he was in his youth. Moreover, if he didn't take care of his body well, even if his body had always been youthful, he could die from diseases or ailments, especially in this era where many young people died due to various situations.
With all of the passive skills explained, what about the active skills?
Frankly, the use of those passive skills was similar to "Overcharge" or "Discount," which increased the percentage, but in this case, it increased his speed of learning.
Whether it was "Sports Student," "Arts Student," "Humanities Student," or "Science Student," they increased his learning speed in those respective subjects. Level one would increase 10% of the learning speed, and Level ten would increase 100% of the learning speed.
Last night, when he was playing with Yume and raised his level to Level 4, he put all of the skill points on the "Sports Student," which made his talent at learning sports 40% faster than his base, and it was also due to this, even if he didn't hold her hand, she was so sticky with him as his technique conquered her.
"Are your legs okay?"
"We-Well... they are okay." Her legs were a little weak and wobbly due to the intense pleasure she felt last night, but she didn't hate this feeling, and she knew it would be even more intense when they had sex, which made her body become hotter as she wanted to do the forbidden activity.
"Stop thinking something perverted."
Flicking her forehead gently, Mizuto was helpless.
"I-I am not!" However, it was easy to tell her lie as her eyes were dodging and her face flushed red.
Leaving his perverted stepsister aside, he looked at the last skill of the "Student."
Reading.
The effect was simple, and it was to increase the speed of his reading.
Was it useful?
It was okay since it made him able to learn efficiently and read books faster, so there would be more knowledge that he could learn.
Still, as he was in deep thought about the skills of his 2nd job, Yume gained the courage to hold his hand, but—
"Yume-chan! Irido-kun!"
Turning her head, Yume's lips twitched as she saw Akatsuki, who ran happily in their direction. She was happy with this new friend, but she hoped that Akatsuki would come at a different time!
