Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

While he didn't remember the details of the story, he knew that the reason why the protagonist could become a student of the Seidoukan, which was one of the schools on the Asterisk, was without a doubt because of the special recommendation scholarship from the current president of the Seidoukan.

Yet, to his surprise, he got this special scholarship invitation, which confused him.

He might know some of the plots, but he hadn't read the story until the end, and there were many missing things that he didn't know about this world. However, it didn't matter since, similar to his original world; he had never treated this world like how it was just a story that he happened to read and watch in his previous world. Instead, he saw this world as a real world where everything was alive.

This was why he treated everything seriously since he didn't want to die because of something stupid such as plot armor, protagonist aura, and many other things.

While he was confused about why he got the invitation for the special internship from the Seidoukan, he didn't make his decision in a hurry. Instead, he tried to learn the advantage of six schools inside the Asterisk since he could only choose one.

"Six schools, huh?"

Seidoukan Academy, Saint Galahadworth Academy, Jie Long Seventh Institute, Arlequint Academy, Le Wolfe Black Institute, and Queenvail Girls' Academy.

Those were the six schools that existed on the Asterisk.

Naturally, each school had its specialty, and each had heroines, which should be able to trigger his system, so no matter what his choice was, it didn't matter.

The first school, which he excluded, was Queenvail Girls' Academy. Why? Because this was an all-girls school, it was impossible for him to join, even though he wanted to. While it was true that this school might not be able to make him stronger since its specialty wasn't fighting, the number of heroines was as much as stars in the sky, so his system should be able to help him.

The second is Saint Galahadworth Academy. Its symbol is the aureole, the symbol of order. The school requires discipline and loyalty from its students and generally forbids duels. In other words, this school was kind of stuck-up.

Everyone had to act like a knight and a lady. While it was possible for him to act like that, this school wouldn't give him a chance to become stronger since a duel was prohibited, and he was sure that everyone had to be in the group. With the personality of the theme of the school, it shackled his movement, and to be honest, this school didn't fit his nature.

Meanwhile, the third school, Le Wolfe Black Institute, suited him well since the strong got everything. While many would try to fight him since it was the school of the unlawful, it didn't matter since he believed he could beat all of them, becoming the new leader of this school. More importantly, this school was that it owned several Orga Lux, which was a treasured weapon version of this world. If he gave an example, the Orga Lux would be similar to Maou's Hammer in his world. Naturally, the ability was different, and it had more varieties, which was more interesting.

The fourth school would be Arlequint Academy. Unlike the others, this school was more into research instead of a battle. Even so, he was interested in this school since he knew the power of technology. With how advanced the technology was in this world, the best way for him to learn was to enter this academy since it had the best technology among the six schools.

Moreover, this school also had heroines, so the system could help him to become stronger.

With that said, the fifth academy, Jie Long Seventh Institute, was a school that could make him stronger. If he joined this school, he could learn all the unique techniques in this world. If his purpose was techniques, then the fastest way was to join this academy, especially when this academy was taught by the strongest and oldest human in this world. He was sure that he could learn many things from this person too.

The only unfortunate thing was that this school was more into skills, so they didn't dabble much in the research, and this school didn't have Orga Lux, which was kind of a minus point for him since he knew how strong the Orga Lux was, especially when the protagonist also wielded one.

"Now, the last school."

Seidoukan Academy.

This was the academy where the protagonist and the main heroines were all gathered. Unlike the other schools, this school was relatively similar to a regular high school instead of a unique type of school. If there was a difference, the students also trained to fight in this school.

In conclusion, there was nothing special about this school, so even if he joined, he knew that he hardly learned any techniques which could make him stronger, unlike Jie Long Seventh Academy, which would teach him many types of martial arts and unique arts.

Even the Arlequint Academy was better since he could learn many technologies which existed in this world, such as creating his own Orga Lux and many others.

But it was better than Le Wolfe Academy. Why? Because, unlike any other school, this school was special because all the main heroines studied in this school.

Yes, main heroines.

While it might be too late to explain this, he knew there was a massive difference in reward for a heroine that deeply influenced the story and a side heroine.

The reward he got from Yosuzume was good, but the reward he got from Kana Ienaga was awesome. With Kana's reward, he could mostly learn anything almost instantaneously—anything, including the "Blindspot Talent," which he got from Yosuzume.

However, it didn't mean the rewards from the side heroines were bad since another world was full of chances for him to become stronger, so even if he didn't rely on the system, he had the confidence to become stronger.

As he rested in his office, he hesitated about which schools he should join since he realized that no matter which school he would join, it didn't make much difference for him since he could learn any techniques or technologies in this world as long as time was given.

More importantly, it wouldn't be his last time to be in this world, so he could learn everything slowly.

As he was in a deep dilemma, he decided to think about this matter later, and it was better for him to fly to the Asterisk first. Then, he could make his decision when he arrived.

As for the special scholarship invitation, it seems he forgot about it.

No one knew what kind of storm he would bring, but one girl was looking at a photo of him being surrounded by his bodyguards. It was a sneaky photo, and only his side was seen, but she knew it was him. It was the person who had appeared in her dreams several times.

"I have finally found you..."

She caressed his picture as she gazed into the photo lovingly.

She had almost given up since no matter how hard she tried to find him; she couldn't find him. It was as if he didn't appear in this world, but now, he had appeared, and she definitely wouldn't let him go.

As she looked into the distance, she whispered, "Hurry up and come..."
