It's a Date (not)

- 2 days later -

I'm currently walking through a hall inside Kuoh Academy in the school uniform, evading other students that I would bump into along the way while admiring the interior of the building. I have to say, Kuoh sure beats my old school from my previous life many times over. It's bigger, cleaner and it looks like it was just recently been built. From what I read about it, it was originally an all-girls school before turning co-ed...

I feel that some Devil business happened for the school to change because there's no way for an all-girl school to suddenly change to co-ed unless there's very good for them to do so.

I shook my head and decided to just head to my classroom for my first subject. Thankfully, I found my schedule sheet in my desk that I somehow didn't saw until yesterday... Well, I thought that it was just a simple piece of paper at the time and decided to ignore it until last night.

After arriving on my class, I took the table where nobody is sitting now. The teacher came after a few seconds and she began the lesson, which is English. I found the subject boring and let my mind wander on what happened on during the last two days:

I went with my promise of grinding after eating brunch but using the [Lancer Class Card] this time, which houses the spirit of the greatest and strongest hero of Troy: Hector of the Gleaming Helmet. Unlike Billy who had no mana consumption in order to maintain the Install mode, Hector has but not too much that I would avoid using him.

I actually feel very powerful at that time that I easily wiped out 100 zombies, killing the newly spawned ones as well, in less than 10 minutes and I only left when I ran out of MP to maintain the form. I can only theorise on the no mana consumption with Billy because he has a rank of E in MAG, having no need to waste MP to keep his form with the exception of reloading the revolver. Hector has a MAG rank of B, so there's no other way for me to use his weapon or form without getting drained of my MP.

I once again trained in the afternoon, using the [Caster Class Card] this time to see who the Heroic Spirit is sealed in it and to find out if I have to waste MP to maintain it or when I'm using spells in that form... Other than finding out that the use of MP is for the spells only and that the hero inside is Counter Guardian Emiya (which shocked me since his skills as a magus are subpar), I've discovered an unexpected thing while I'm in Install mode: The [Class Cards] actually take some of my EXP for them to level up. It happened after levelling up to 8, the [Caster Class Card] levelled up to LvL 2.

I was actually wondering why I had such a hard time levelling up while in Install mode, but the reason why they take some of my EXP kinda made sense as well. Servants in FGO are usually in card form outside of battle and they level up by burning EXP cards or other Servant cards, but since someone with the power of the [Gamer] is using them, they take some of the EXP that the user gains for them to level up. I can only guess that each card needs a different amount of EXP to level up, considering that both the [Archer Class Card] and the [Lancer Class Card] didn't level up alongside me.

Other than not getting any useful loot from the killing zombies (Things like moulded bones or rotten flesh), they make good practice for spells that I'll try to memorise for future use outside of the [Caster Class Card].

Yesterday, I decided to take a long walk around Kuoh in order to familiarise myself with the area, but I brought the [Assassin Class Card] with me in case someone was following me and I needed to get away from them. It was a good thing that I did bring me that card because I felt someone started to follow me the moment when I left the mall. In order to get the stalker off my tail, I went to the public bathroom to Install the [Assassin Class Card], discovering that 1 of the nineteen Hassan-i-Sabbah (I don't recognise which Hassan is it) is inside the card, and escaped my stalker but not before taking a look at her...
