The Next Day

  Today was the last day for Reiji to finish his part of the deal. Ray was pretty excited to see the sour taste in Skye's and Reiji's faces after the accident.

  On the other hand, he didn't seem to care much about this. This accident was only staged for him to break Reiji's mind and gain more villain halo.

  He spends his lunch break talking and flirting with Rena when suddenly they heard the whispering crowds.

  " Hey, it looks like the transferred student and Reiji was about to brawl again."

  " Bah, what's a brawl. Maybe they just wanna get another make-out session."

  This news didn't escape from Ray's ear. He grabbed Rena's hand and brought her to enjoy the event.

  " Let's go, Rena, we surely wouldn't want to miss this one."

  " Umm"

  Ray grabbed Rena's hand and blush filled her mind. She was extremely flustered, but she didn't put up any protest against Ray's action.

  The two walked along the corridor to reach the commotion place.

  However, when they finally reach the place where the crowd was gathering, the incident was already over.

  Reiji and Skye were taken by the teacher and brought to the principal office for reflecting on their action.

  Ray know that there was nothing left to do here, so while still holding Rena's hand. He decided to take a walk around the school, enjoying the short lunch break date with Rena……

  After the lunch break was over, Ray and Rena went back to their classroom. They were pretty surprised when they saw Skye was sitting normally as nothing happened.

  The class soon begin after the teacher came in.

  " Everyone please listen to me. We only have one week left until your first-semester exam. Please study well and don't let anything stupid concern you if you guys do any foolish things that may smear the name of this school. The school won't bother you and just put you on our suspension list."

  The class instantly went clamorous with the teacher's announcement. They know the source of this, but they were confused why Skye was still sitting there with them.

  An ignorant student emboldens himself and asks the teacher with a questioning tone.

  " Teacher, we understand your worry. We promised that we wouldn't do anything stupid, but isn't there someone who shouldn't be here with us right now?"

  When the question was asked, the surrounding attention instantly shifted into Skye.

  " Cough-cough, Dear student, don't you know your classmate here was just a victim of this accident. He was a supreme example of a model student. His capability could put him up in the top 3 of our country's mathematic competition. Furthermore, he is also a member of our school basketball team. If you could see in better perspective, you could clearly saw that he was just a victim and not an accomplice."

  "But-"

  Many students were not content with the teacher's reply. They saw clearly with their own eyes when Skye was making out happily with Reiji.

  " Enough, get back on your seat and prepare for the lesson to start. I will punish everyone who still dares to question about this matter"

  With these simple words, the commotion in class suddenly toned down……

  [ DING!! Congratulations to the host for completing a hidden mission]

  [ Make the main protagonist reputation bad in the class]

  [ Rewards: Skye's protagonist halo -50, special keychain x1]

  Aina sent him a reward prompt.

  Ray glanced at the reward and was pretty satisfied the reward this time was just like an oreo on ice cream, but nobody would dislike oreo on ice cream right.

  ' Keep it for me, Aina, I'll check the reward later.'

  [ Sure host. Speaking of which, host. How is your preparation against the bet with Skye? I was observing you these days but it doesn't seem like you put much effort into it.]

  Aina was asking of pure curiosity, from the way he handled Skye during Emi's incident. She knows that Ray was not a reckless person. He thinks carefully and acts with certainty. You could say that Aina's perspective of his host has increased a lot in the course of few days.

  ' Hehehehehe, glad you asked Aina. Now behold, the most majestic plot that would run through the history.'

  [ ???? ]

  ' I was waiting for the right time to use the attributes point. I will wait until the last few days before pouring all my attributes points into intelligence. With the power of more than 200 intelligence, a simple high school exam would be no problem for me HAHAHAHAHAH.'

  [ …… ]

  ' How is it Aina, why don't you praise my extraordinary mind?'

  [ Sorry to disturb your delusion host, but Aina must remind you that the intelligence stats are different from other stats. There was a daily limit of a maximum of 2 increases, and the intelligence was capped at 100. This was to make sure the host won't introduce some mind-blowing technology that could disturb the flow of this universe.]

  *Silence*

  * Creak - Creak*

  ' NOOOOOOOOO, arent you the most omnipotent blablabla system in the universe??? Why don't you spare me and just let me cheat my way only this time.'

  [ … ]

  ' Pleasseeeeee, pretty please.'

  [ … ]

  ' Knock-knock.'

  [ Sorry, the number you are calling is temporarily unavailable, please press one if you want to leave a message. ]

  ' …… '

  [ Jokes on you host, it was my mistake that think you were smarter than this. But back to the topic. Aina has felt a tremendous amount of hatred directed toward the host from the protagonist. It is recommended for the host to be aware of the main protagonist's retaliation. ]

  ' Wait, why? I didn't think I have done anything outrageous this time.'

  Ray was a little bit confused. He indeed orchestrated most of Skye's misfortune recently, however it should be flawless and Skye should have no way to find any trace of him on it.

  [ It seems that the main protagonist has attributed all his misfortune to you. Sometimes people that think they were the center of the world are unreasonable. They would instantly shift the blame into anyone else if they were unhappy. ]

  ' Well, you're not wrong. It's really troublesome to reason with a person like that.'

  This time, Ray didn't argue and nodded at Aina. He has read too many novels and has seen so many selfish protagonists like that. He can even say 60% of the protagonist was shameless and selfish brats who only think with their lower half.

  [ Oh buy the way host, Aina has detected a great amount of spiritual pressure on the main protagonist's body. It seems that his real cheat has come, so please be wary host. ]

  *Silence*

  ' Could you tell me, when was the first time you feel that spiritual pressure?'

  Ray tried to calm his mind, he knows that Aina will always prioritize himself. So there should be no misinformation from Aina.

  [ Yesterday?]

  ' WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME SOONER!!!'

  [ Aina forgot host, Ehe ^-^]
