1410 Words
“Homework check… Notebook check… lunch box check… Well then… I’m going off!”
She wore her uniform and went to school.
In these few days, the sunlight had gone stronger and the warm sunshine feels good. It can be said spring has finally come.
Kaede’s seat was by the window so if she let her guard down she might fall asleep. If it goes like this, Yuki who was two seats apart will be on a sleeping course in the afternoon class.
And while thinking of that, Kaede was walking on the road to school. Kaede’s house is near the school. So she comes to school be a walk. That distance is only five minutes walk.
The pleasant wind was blowing, and it is not a bother to walk. Because she didn’t suffer from hay fever, Kaede liked to walk during this season.
“Yosh! Let's do our best today~”
Passing through the gate, went toward her classroom and she arrived at her seat.
After this, she would have started reading books, but when she started Fantasy world online, it was time to think of new skills. If there was this kind of skill, what are the requirements to get it, just thinking about things like that, she was having fun.
“I wonder what are you grinning at… You look crazy. If your smile is not cute people will think that you started to lose your mind.”
Head chop to Kaede’s head. The girl who gives Kaede a chop on her head was her friend Yuki. Honjou Yuki.
“I-It’s nothing at all.”
“Really~ Oh, that’s right. I didn’t come for that today. By the way, Kaede. I have a very important announcement today.”
Saying that Yuki bent her waist and swiftly approached her face. Clearing her throat, and went on her way of saying it, to Yuki who made a mystery character, Kaede also went with that.
“What is it, Yuki. Your tension is quite high today.”
“Right, that’s right, you wouldn’t believe it! It was because of the permission to play a game. I got it today!”
Kaede was happy and clapped lightly.
She probably did her best on studying, Kaede knew how happy she was, And only seeing her expression Kaede also became happy.
“With that, the game that I only pushed on to Kaede. I can finally play it from today.”
“Then, we can be at the party right!”
“Um… Yeah yeah… A party… I mean, did Kaede already started playing?!”
It looks like Yuki was surprised, and said that in loud voice. These two go to school early there are only two of them in the classroom. They didn’t need to care about their surroundings.
“Eh… Hehehehehe...”
“That Kaede, that Kade that reluctantly plays with me on the game that I pushed on her…”
“You knew you were pushing them on me?”
“I’m so happy~ I thought that playing together was impossible, but to think Kade was willing to play…”
And then, Yuki continues to talk.
“Up to what level did you raise it? Or did you only made an account?”
“Hmm… I’m in level 20.”
Yuki was astonished in an instant, but as soon as she understood what Kaede said, she started grinning.
“Ohhh~ It looks like Kaede was more addicted than I had expected.”
“What is that supposed to mean.”
Kaede was glaring at Yuki while blushing. Yuki was still laughing merrily, but it’s not like she had a bad intention, so Kede didn’t say anything.
“Ahahaha… Sorry, I’m sorry, it’s just a joke, but if you had leveled it that much, then your character build has been decided right?”
“Yeah, I’m a full sword user build. And then… It’s my secret but maybe I can tell you because of you're my friend.”
Kaede talked everything about her skills and status to Yuki. Resulting in Yuki stepping back in shock. She was so surprised that Kade that rarely playing anything was that strong.
“What is with that monster Character! I don’t really expect too much that’s why I give you some guidance in starting the game. Hearing it makes me feel more excited starting the game. The direction Kaede play is very different from the other players I see.”
“Please don’t call my character a monster. I know how to find my skills. You can do the same thing…”
When Kaede said that, Yuki crossed her arms in front of her chest, making a cross sign, and shook her head.
“Kaede is Kaede. I am me… I don’t mean to brush off the skills that Kaede told me as a friend! Well, I’ll use it as a hint on getting strong skills through. Let's keep that as it couldn't be helped.”
“Then, what will Yuki do?”
“Kaede is a DPS specialized in using swords. So I thought maybe I’ll become a magic user. That would be great, but if I paired with Kaede with that. It feels very normal. I don’t like playing that way. I wanted to become a DPS player like you.”
“If you did that then our party is only good in dealing damage. That’s unbalanced.”
“That’s true, but I want to deal damage too…”
Groaning while thinking. Yuki takes her time to think about what class she’s going to be in. After few minutes, She grinned.
“I decide! I will become an Assassin type of thief type. Someone with high AGI stats.”
“Are you planning on being a criminal? Assassin and Thief are both bad you know.”
“Only in the game! Only in the game! Also, Assassin and Thief types are common in RPGs. Having high agility. I’ll make the enemy attack focus on me, and I’ll nullify their attacks by dodging. No matter how strong an attack was as long as I can dodge it. It’s no use on me.”
“So cool! I know evasion. I can also do such a thing but only in few times. I still can’t run or move fast like the other players.”
“A party with Kaede, whatever fight it is, let go and crushed them all! We’re always unscathed! How is that? Isn’t that cool?”
Hearing those words, Kaede imagined that scene and swung her head vertically. She was so excited even her arms are flapping.
“I want to make a party with that concept so I will aim for the agility type.”
“Do your best! I’ll just increase my strength more!”
And, with promising to play together tonight, the two conversations ended. Yuki also went back to her seat.
“Agility type player… the difficulty is the highest level, but that's why I get fired up!”
She mumbled that with a small voice, so it didn’t reach Kaede’s ears.
It was probably the nature of the gamer. Yuki is no ordinary player, to begin with. She already became champion in RPG games she played before. She has lots of experience and knows how RPG works better than most of the players.
Yuki tends to prepare to select achievements requirements that are difficult.
What Yuki said earlier, to achieve an undefeated unscathed party, the first prerequisite is for Yuki to consciously dodge enemy attacks.
Magic that is shot multiple times. High-speed combination attack. Dodging those with a very fine line and defeating the enemy, just imagining doing that.
“I get shivers in my spine…”
Yuki couldn’t help but pray for today's class to end very quickly. So that she can play the game with her heart content.
