Chapter 97: Beginning of the Sixth Loop
Hold on a second. I completely can’t catch up. Wasn’t the loop supposed to be three years? Yet this time, it’s only been about half a year. And on top of that, what’s with that? Lex is a hidden character in the library? Does that mean I’m the hidden character? Or was there another student named Lex-kun?
No, it’s no use being confused. A new loop starts today. First, let’s quickly finish the entrance ceremony, and then…
In the afternoon, I had some free time. I immediately headed to the Slime Dungeon. I can’t afford to waste time on weekends or riding shared carriages anymore. I stopped by my parents’ house to pick up a sieve, ladle, and mallet, rented a horse, and headed to the dungeon.
Dig and crush. Dig and crush. When I reach level 3, I’ll challenge the rats with martial arts skills. I’ll use level 2 short-range teleportation for evasion and level 1 strong attacks for individual defeat. It’s a close fight. Anyway, I allocate the minimum to POW and the rest to AGI for evasion. Today’s goal is to raise my level to at least 5 and unlock the inventory. It’s difficult to control a horse in the darkness, so it’s all about speed.
I’ve decided on something this time. That is, I won’t directly intervene in anything anymore.
Mr. Kabaneru’s sake brewing business. My brother’s rehabilitation and Rose-chan. Senior Camille. I decided not to get involved with these until the previous loop. What’s been added this time are Mr. Laquell and the third prince. And Arcart’s pink-haired girl. I never imagined that a mob like me would be treated as a pseudo-target for conquest, and if I refuse, it’s game over. There’s nothing left but to work behind the scenes.
To continue my clandestine activities without going public, I have to use transfer. And to use transfer, I have to clear “Level 100, INT 300, DEX 300.” I can make magical tools right away, but I learned this when I failed to create a golem. In the simulated battle of the noble academy, Luca-sama’s elder brother, Mr. Louisson, couldn’t control the fire magic tool and fell down foaming at the mouth. Level and ability restrictions do have some meaning.
My goal is the fastest Level 100. After that, I’ll use teleportation, scouting skills, and dark attribute skills to secretly interfere with the game while staying in Marol. There’s no other way.
At twilight, I returned to the capital just in time, returned the horse, and went back to the dormitory. Ah, I didn’t have time to buy tools and materials. It’ll have to wait until tomorrow.
Wednesday, October 2nd. The classes for second-year high school students begin. Marol’s high school is for commoners and the wealthy, with only one class and a small number of students enrolled, so classes are mostly together. Only the martial arts class during physical education is divided among middle and high school students. However, I’ve already taken swordsmanship, spear fighting, archery, and martial arts in all the previous loops. There’s nothing left to do. What if I take a leave of absence? But if my parents find out, it’ll be troublesome. I attended classes while feeling restless. I was doing side jobs and planning for the future in my notes the whole time.
After school, I eagerly purchased mithril alloy, craft tools, and some materials. Although I haven’t appraised them yet, I created an automatic etherization device mini for now. This way, I can easily make Holy Scripture with just “large,” and even if I fail to make it, there won’t be any skill backlash. I put it on the desk and concentrate on concentrating magic stones one by one. This way, I can concentrate during class without wasting time.
Thursday, October 3rd. I secretly stored and expelled books in the library, repeating the process to get appraisals. Now I can move on to creating magical tools in earnest. The first thing I aim for is undoubtedly Dragonflies from the beginner dungeon. And as soon as Autumn Max is available, the Fire Rats from the advanced animal dungeon. I’ll go with level 8 Rock Blast instead of level 2 shotgun for Dragonflies. Why haven’t I been using this until now? If I don’t have to worry about MP consumption due to magic stones, I should have used the high-powered group attack from the beginning. That way, I wouldn’t have to worry about things like not being able to attack 36 enemies at once without increasing INT or not being able to defeat them all due to insufficient power. All that’s left is to increase DEX and accuracy.
And then, to wipe out the small fry in the animal dungeon, Explosive Explosion. And Blizzard to defeat the rats, used while flying with Autumn Max. Once I have enough AGI and DEX, I’ll charge into the rat’s nest.
But as I was about to finish, I realized something. Instead of hunting Dragonflies, wouldn’t it be better to create a magical tool for Wind Fly, the wind attribute skill? Of course, Autumn equipment that allows you to fly endlessly without consuming MP is attractive, but it’s not worth spending a whole day on Dragonflies for that. I hastily changed my plan and added Fly, Accelerate, and Wind Shield.
Friday, October 4th. Because I didn’t allocate points to DEX, the magical tools are taking longer to complete. For now, I’ve finished Wind Fly, Explosive Explosion, and Blizzard. Starting tomorrow, it’s straight to the advanced dungeon. Let’s go in with enthusiasm.
