(Fafnir’s POV)
After the party, we were taken to our rooms, quite a luxury rooms, actually. King-sized bed with a canopy, table, chairs, a bookcase with some books. Sitting on the bed, I focused again, one of the things that I noticed were that we have something like status, like everyone in this world.
It seems that the gods gave us a pack of information so that we don’t get lost in this world, including how to read, write and speak the common language. So, on the bed, I think:
(Fafnir): “Status.”
Alright, I don’t know how this is compared to other humans, but it’s good that I can follow my growth through numeri values. Leave that bullshit that status don’t reflect yourself and will hinder your growth.
If you use them right, you can create your own way of making yourself stronger faster by seeing the results constantly. Anyway, I will use this to make a better training schedule. But first, I have to take a look at that king, I’m having bad vibes about him.
Well, I won’t do it today, first, I will gather information. Books, people talking, chatting etc. will give me the information that I want. I can’t simply torture r interrogate he king, so that will be it. I’ll first talk with Akame, I will ask her to break in the king’s office, if there is something like that, and copy any document that she can.
Anyway, things will get busy soon, so I better prepare. But first, meditation. Crossing my legs, I close my eyes and focus. Due the years of practice, I immediately enter a meditative state. After a few seconds, I feel something running through my veins. I can feel this energy creeping in my whole body, following the path of my veins.
I can feel this energy changing me from inside, moving through my muscles, making them grow little by little. So this is mana? I can clearly feel it running through me. Wow, it goes so smoothly, like it was my own blood. Suddenly, I heard a pling in my head. Opening my eyes, I a window floating in front of me.
Oh, there is something new… there is a list about these kinds of things? I think it does… oh, there it is. Let’s see…
(Fafnir)> “Skill List.”
Seeing that, I have some mixed feelings. Alright, I’ll think about that later. I also saw some titles in my status window, let’s take a look at that.
These are my titles, huh? Demi-God is extremely presumptuous, I don’t want that kind of title. Also, that thing about Black Disaster… this will be problematic. Really, problematic. There is something fishy about this, it seems that I should pay the dragons a visit as soon as possible.
Looking outside, I see that it’s turning night. Getting up, I take off the upper part of my uniform, and begin to do push-ups while forcing all my muscles to tire them faster and make the exercise be worth to do and actually help to develop my muscles.
After a few push-ups, I can feel the difference. It’s taking much longer to get tired, and I can feel that my muscles are actually working better through magic. Man, this world is amazing!
(a few hours later, at morning)
It seems that the nights here are a bit longer. Is this planet bigger than earth? It seems to be… anyway, I will try to keep track of the time during the day to see if the day is indeed longer. I get up, go to the bathroom that’s in my room.
Something that’s incredible are the bathrooms of this world, they have magical toilets and magic bathtubs. Simply amazing. Since I’m completely drenched in sweat, I take a quick bath with cold water to start the day and dress some clothes that are in the wardrobe of this room.
(Fafnir): “Dammit, the pants are a bit short and the shirt is tight…”
I dress in a pair of black pants and put up a white shirt. What is this? Wool? It seems that the technique used to make these was good, it’s light and thin, and wear thin on a sunny day won’t be a problem.
The pants are a bit short, but aren’t tight. The shirt isn’t short either, but it’s tight… I don’t think that it will rip, but certainly bothers me a little. Goddammit, it’s showing my muscles way too much for my own taste… should I dress the school uniform?
It’s on my size, and won’t bother my movements like these clothes will… I will try to talk with a maid from the castle, see if I can get someone to get some clothes on my size. I change to only the shirt and pants of my uniform, together with the shoes.
Letting the button white shirt outside my pants and putting my belt, I get out of the room, and immediately almost bump into a maid, who looks at me flustered.
(maid): “H-hero-sama, please, follow me, the breakfast is ready.”
(Fafnir): “Ah, sure. Thanks. Lead the way.”
I say to her. As we walk, I ask her:
(Fafnir): “Sorry for bothering you with this, but could you please get some extra clothes for me later?”
(Maid): “Are the clothes mot of your liking, Hero-sama?”
(Fafnir): “No, that’s not it… it’s because… they don’t fit…”
I said slowly, a bit awkwardly. The maid stopped and looked at my body for a second.
(Maid): “I guess so… Well, with such a big body, Hero-sama must be very strong!”
She says cheerfully, guiding me through the corridor. I smile politely.
(Fafnir): “Please, you flatter me.”
