Chapter 2
A year have passed
Today is the day when I become a high school student . I was wearing my new uniform and standing in front of the mirror .
“……It suits me well, I guess . ”
It was an ordinary uniform . A deep blue colored blazer and trouser, a necktie and a white shirt . But I couldn’t help but feel obnoxious seeing myself wearing it with half-dead eyes in front of the mirror .
Before I realized, Karen who halted her steps inside the corridor was gazing at me .
“……Does it suit me?”
“Maybe it will if you do something about those dead eyes . ”
“Yeah…”
My sister got quite the sharp tongue .
Karen is now a third-year middle schooler; she changed her hairstyle to a ponytail this time and was wearing a different school uniform as well .
It’s a ponytail today, huh?
So I thought as I saw Karen’s hair . She has a habit of changing her hairstyle to different shapes and varieties very often . I always wondered how troublesome it is for her to change it every week .
“Your uniform looks well on you too . ”
“Yeah . ”
Said Karen before she turned to the other direction .
She’s the type who doesn’t let their emotions reach their face, but I’m still her brother .
I can immediately imagine what she’s thinking about just from her actions .
For instance, when she turned to the other side right now, she’s definitely twitching her mouth, which reveals that she’s happy but trying to hide it .
I’m not sure as to why she tries to hide that fact, but my sister had already entered puberty . Perhaps she’s taking such attitude because of her age .
However, my dear sister, Onii-chan can read through all your little tricks . I let a smirk show in my face as I was thinking about that .
“What are you smirking all alone? Disgusting . ”
A sharp tongue indeed .
I responded with a bitter smile then heard my mother’s voice calling us from the lower floor .
“It’s about time, both of you!”
“I’m on my way! Let’s go, Karen”
“Okay . ”
We both descended the stairs .
“Here’s your lunch box . ”
“Thanks, mom . ”
“Thank you . ”
We received our lunch boxes and placed them in our bags .
“You’re now a high school student . Make sure to behave well in the opening ceremony . ”
“I know . ”
“You too, Karen-chan . Be extra careful this time since you don’t know the way to school yet . ”
“Right . ”
“Okay then, have a good day!”
We exited from the entrance door as my mother was seeing us off .
After what happened last year, we ended up moving due to various reasons .
Although the main one was because of me .
The first thing I had after waking up again that day, was a police interview . And from then, every time I heard the police visiting, I pretend to be asleep . I can’t tell them something ridiculous as that my classmates went to a different world, after all .
Anyway, I was able to deceive the police that way, however, that wasn’t the case for the media . The topic became widely prominent in news programs resulting in people pouring all their attention to me… in a bad way .
Due to the persistent reporters intruding in our home, we had to unavoidably move our address . That’s why I felt pretty bad for my family .
“I’m going this way . ”
“Is that so . Try to no get lost . ”
“That’s none of your business!”
exclaimed Karen as she took a separate way, leaving me alone heading to my new school .
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Arriving at my new high school, the entrance door was rustling by the many students around .
I was giving a flower to put on top of my chest pocket and was lead to the gym where I had to take a seat and wait for the ceremony to start . I Honestly felt bored .
“… I guess I’ll skip it . ”
It will be fine as long as I go back to the classroom by the end of the convention . While considering the time, I stealthily sneaked out of the gym .
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Now that I sneaked out, what should I do?
I started loitering inside the new, unfamiliar school . The inside was unexpectedly wide, so I remained walking while I decided to verify my status .
Kamiya Yato Age: 16 Male Race: human lv93

Skills
Appraisal- super growth- Magic creation- Super Sleeping strength magic- Fire magic- Water magic- Earth magic- Wind magic- Light magic- Dark magic- Teleportation magic- Space magic
Sword skills- Boxing skills- Body enhancement (medium)
How can I say this… I may have gone a bit too far .
All that I did was almost cast 【Sleeping strength magic】every night before sleeping, but who thought that this will be the result after activating it every day for a whole year .
To top it off, the 【Super growth skill upgraded【Sleeping strength magic】 to 【Super Sleeping strength magic】throughout the way . Thanks to that, the experience I acquired had drastically increased . Well, leveling up is not a bad thing, after all .
About the other skills, for the 【Fire magic】,【Water magic】 and the rest, I casually made them just because I wanted . I mean, wouldn’t it be great if I were to go to a different world and be praised as ‘the possessor of all nature elements!!’? That would be amazing .
However, despite creating them, I didn’t have the chance to use them at all, which explains why they didn’t level up .
It’s like the modern world is telling me that it doesn’t need any magic .
As for 【Teleportation magic】, It was a pretty convenient skill I created for moving from place to place, though I had a feeling that I’d turn into a hopeless person if I kept using it so I stopped doing so midway .
【Space magic】is similar to the one in light novels where a person can have an infinite storage space . I created it thinking that it would be useful, but in the end, its purpose wasn’t truly fulfilled, There isn’t that much stuff that I want to store in the first place, so it felt kinda useless .
【Sword skills】was obtained when I was randomly swinging a rod . I thought that it would grant me something like stick skills, but I guess my recognition played its role at that time . When I hold a stick and imagine it as a sword, it will then be recognized as 【Sword skills】 . Although it is called like that, I didn’t get the chance to use a sword anyway, but at least I became somewhat better at using the kitchen knife . Well, my culinary skills are still bad, though .
【Boxing skills】is an upgrade from the skill【martial arts】 I obtained first . Owing to this one, my physical abilities had immensely advanced . I became able to easily crash a huge rock if I hit it seriously . At that moment I made a promise to myself to not use that hit against a human .
【Body enhancement】is the same as the previous one . It was merely 【Body enhancement】at first, then leveled to 【Body enhancement (medium)】 due to 【super growth】 . It also allows an extreme ascending to my physical abilities when used .
I have already attempted using it several times, however, I don’t think I will be using it ever again . It risks resulting in someone’s death .
With this and that, I spent a year discovering and expanding my new abilities, although I keep wondering whether all of this was really necessary or not .
Magic is not useful in this world, nor are the sword and fighting related skills, since I’m not the type who picks up quarrels . Rather, I do my best to avoid them .
When I think about it this way, I realize that all of this was worthless .
I halted my steps to gaze at the sakura trees while pondering about such a thing when abruptlyーーーーーI noticed a girl collapsing before my eyes .
