Chapter #3: [Gifts]

"Hōri Kaide!"

"Present.", I replied in nonchalance, resting my head on my right palm. Damn bastards, they could at least tell me that receiving their gifts would be painful. Ah, that's right. It's been over a week ago since our little plan to cure my boredom was made, and just last night, I received a package delivered yours truly by CheckYourInventory.

It wasn't fun though, because as soon as I opened it, I was wracked in immense pain and fell down screaming and twitching all over. Luckily, Plotter said in the letter that came with the box that it creates soundproof barrier that surrounds my room when opened.

Damned idiot, the gifts wasn't supposed to be painful but Plotter made them so I would look like some movie protagonist who got chosen for a scientific project that would make them a super human.

Though I'm pretty sure that the way my body tossed and turned around wasn't like the ones seen in the movies...

Anyways, I woke up pretty early after that. About 5 A.M., but strangely, I didn't feel sleepy. Also, despite the pain that I just went through last night, my body didn't feel sore, but actually light and very energized. Having that, I opted for a run.

40 minutes of running throughout random streets within the city didn't tire me either, hell, it wasn't even enough to make me sweat. Eventually, having enough of running, I came back home. My free time till it was time to prepare for school was spent playing League of Legends.

Walking to school was a bit uncomfortable, I guess for someone used to not garnering any attention. Many gazes had set on me, such as shock, surprise, confusion, and many more. However, what caught my attention, is the feeling of something different. It was like an aura, emitted by Kazuto Hiro and his group, as well as other people within the school, with each of them varying in strength.

Anyway, people looked at me like I did something really big, which was foolish. They didn't investigate Hiro for having a harem, yet I was being scoped out because I had received some gifts that didn't actually change me physically.

"Kaide? What's wrong" Hiro asked me in concern. Ah, now that I realize, I was actually looking at him the whole time.

"Did you do your homework?", I tried to cover up.

"Ofcourse! Emilia went to my home last night and personally tutored me!", He said, smiling widely at the end. Tch, lucky bastard...

...

"Hōri Kaide! Can you please try to answer this equation?", The teacher called, frowning, as he spotted him chatting with Kazuto Hiro. The boy doesn't pay attention to class, but still manages to get good grades. From what he heard, the boy does the same to the his other classes and teachers.

Kaide coolly stood up and made his way towards the board. The teacher swore he heard him 'tsk' and mutter something incomprehensible towards him, probably a curse. The others, prepared to laugh at his embarrassment, however, Kaide would prove them very wrong.

...

I heard many of my classmates trying to hold their laughs, probably for being caught chatting with a classmate instead of listening to the teacher. Hah! Like I need that! The abilities that CulturedOjiisan gave me would allow me to pass college and any courses within a year. Taking the chalk and glancing at the formula for a moment, I began to write the solution and answer.

*Scribble*

Writing without a stopping and looking at anything, other than my answer, I was finally done just under a minute. Placing the chalk back to the tray, I calmly made my way back my seat and gazed at the clouds...
