" So, can you tell me what major you are at? Are you A battle Daoist or a research Daoist?"

  " Eh…"

  Rin asked with glimmering eyes to Ray.

  Still, she didn't know the one that she asked was currently having a big discussion inside his mind.

  ' Aina, de fak is a battle Daoist and research Daoist?'

  [ Hehe, don't be so panicked, host. Let Aina explain first. As its names suggested, battle Daoist was Daoist who focuses was in battle like how it was normally in your original timeline. And for the research Daoist, it was the one who mainly focused on the evolution of spirit beasts, their potential, or even breeding them.

  A few years ago, the Daoist association had gone through a major breakthrough regarding the topic of spirit beast lineage and evolution. From there, the research Doaists popularity started to surge until now it is almost at the same level of the Battle Daoist.]

  ' That's it…'

  Aina's explanation was pretty clear. It has been 100 years from his original timeline, and there would be weird if there were no major changes.

  Ray pondered for a while and eventually decided to be honest. Even though he had some experience evolving his spirit beast, most of it was because they were bonded with the protagonist or because of the supreme item that Ray bought from the shop. Ray himself didn't have any experience in research, and it would only be stupid if Rin was to ask some questions about his research.

  Ray was prepared to answer Rin's question when suddenly a new notification appeared on his mind and made him speechless……

  [ DING!!! A new mission has been issued.]

  [ Tell rin that you are a research Daoist.]

  [ Reward: 500 System points, Special Reward.].

  " … "

  ' Nah, ain't gonna do it.'

  Even if the reward was pretty good, Ray right now didn't really need system points. His accumulation so far was enough for him to spend it almost without any concern, and for the special reward, Ray still thinks that he would rather be honest and not be implicated by research.

  Nonetheless, Ray was pretty naive if he thought that he could escape from Aina's grasp.

  [ Host, Aina must remind you first. After you are successfully transported to the future timeline, your System point would be reset to zero, and the previous accumulated system point couldn't be used here. Furthermore, you could not gain System point by having sex with Jean as she was not from this timeline.]

  " … "

  Fuck!!! Isn't this the same as pitting him to be a research Daoist?

  Ray himself wasn't that stupid to think that he could easily get the energy or contend with the protagonists without the help of his system points. At first, Ray thought that his accumulation was enough and he didn't need to bother anymore, never having any thought that he would be pitted like that.

  He cursed at Aina inwardly, yet the outside appearance still had a calm smile.

  He pretended to act mysterious to get Rin's attention, and only after a few moments, he decide to say that he was a research Daoist.

  " Well, actually, I'm a research Daoist."

  " Ahh… I know it. Your face looks smart, and I'm pretty sure that you would be a good research Daoist."

  ' Look smart, my ass. If not for Aina, I would definitely not do this.'

  Nonetheless, ray knew that complaining would not help, and he could only hope that Rin didn't ask any question about his research……

  [ DING!!! Congratulations to the host for completing the following mission]

  [ Tell rin that you are a research Daoist.]

  [ Reward: 500 System points, Spirit book of evolution.].

  ' Eh… Nani!??'

  Ray wanted to rub his eyes to make sure that he didn't see things wrong.

  ' Spirit book of evolution? Isn't this the cheat of Ethan?'

  If not for Rin in front of him, Ray would definitely have jumped happily. A cheat of caliber protagonist, wouldn't this make him the best research Daoist in this world.

  Still, Ray knew he must keep his composure. He kept talking with Rin as if nothing had happened, only leaving a slight arc on the corner of his mouth.

  The two continued to chat like good friends, and without them knowing, time flew so fast, and it was almost time for them to go home.

  Rin said goodbye to Ray as she still had things to do after school, but not without leaving her contact number to Ray-

  That night -

  [ DING!!! Congratulations to the host for successfully increasing the affection of Heroine Rin to 10.]

  [ Reward: Rin's mind diary.]

  Eh…


  Ray was truly dumbfounded. He was currently doing nothing and only cuddling with Jean, so why suddenly did Rin's affection for him rise into ten.

  And what made him more dumbfounded, Rin was chatting joyfully with him during the afternoon, so why was her affection so low and only increased to ten by now.

  Ray felt like he would be stupid if he thinks too much. Therefore, he decided to stop thinking and just open the reward sent by Aina.

  [ Use the Rin's memory diary?]

  ' Yes.'

  Immediately, Irish of text entered Ray's mind, and now he knew why it was called Rin's memory diary.

  [ I woke up beautiful, as usual.]

  [ *Sigh* Those peasants, why are they always so noisy early in the morning.]

  [ A new transfer student? His appearance looks pretty good, but from the way he looked at me, it seems he will be another licking dog of mine.]

  [ Hmmm, he is sitting next to me, so why is he trying to act so serious and study hard. Do you think this ojou sama don't know that your intention sitting here was to strike a conversation with me?]

  " … "

  Ray was truly speechless reading this. He didn't know why, but Rin seemed to be pretty narcissistic.

  [ Humph, okay, you win. Your appearance + your cool act, this ojou sama will be the one that acts on you first.]

  [ Hmm, he doesn't seem too bad. Maybe we could be a friend(?)]

  [ Lol, getting kicked out by Mia-sensei. I will use this chance to evaluate whether he is another suitor of mine or not.]

  [ Hahahahah, this guy is so funny. I don't know why, but time feels to fly so fast when I'm with him. No, Rin, you must give him his final test. If he is able to pass through this, then he is definitely worthy of being my friend.]

  [ Heyyyy, why are you not messaging me? This ojou sama has given you her contact number, so why don't you use this chance as best as possible!???]
