'Bullet Time' sounded like a godly skill. '
Filled with anticipation, Seiji clicked on the 'Tools' and inspected it carefully.
'Breakthrough Skill – Bullet Time' … According to the system's explanation, after exchanging and using this card, he would awaken the skill 'Bullet Time', which allowed him to break through the limits of his body.
Specifically, at a critical moment, such as being shot at by a gun or being hit by a car, his body's potential would explode and he would enter a state of overdrive, causing everything around him to appear to slow down. This would allow him to make extreme responses and avoid danger.
Godly skill! It was indeed a godly skill, and it was also the most crucial skill to save his life!
Seiji was extremely excited.
If there was anything he was afraid of with a cheat like save and load, it was being killed before he even had the time to load the save file!
What would happen if he died without loading? Would it automatically load the latest save, or would he really die just like that? He didn't know, and he couldn't try. What if he really died?
So, this could be said to be his only weakness.
Thus, when he saw the scar-faced man pull out his gun, he decisively loaded and calculated the timing to finish him off before the scar-faced man had the chance to pull the trigger!
But, what if he didn't see it? Or, what if the enemy was sniping him from outside his line of sight?
Or, what if he was poisoned? What if he was assassinated while he was asleep? If he thought about it carefully, there were actually many unexpected situations that would be difficult to deal with.
Considering all this, this' Bullet Time 'skill seemed even more precious.
Although it wasn't strong enough to deal with everything, it could at least deal with many crises that would be difficult to deal with under normal circumstances.
Buy, buy, buy. He had to exchange for it!
The points required to exchange for it was … 75! And this was after the system gave him a one-week discount.
The original number of points required was actually as high as 150!?
As expected of a 'breakthrough skill,' a skill that allowed him to break through the limits of his body wasn't cheap.
"I just got 15 points, and the reward is 10 points, so I have 25 points now. In other words, I have to earn 50 points in the next week before I can exchange for it during the discount period," Seiji mumbled to himself.
50 points. He could earn 28 points by watching Japanese art every day. Would he be able to earn the remaining 22 points by working?
"I'll work at 4 PM each time. I should be able to get enough money after working six times." After calculating, Seiji was quite confident.
"But it's still too dangerous. These points … if I'm not careful, I won't be able to gather them all. Hmm … I should think about how to get more points. "
…
It was currently Saturday morning, the first day of work for Hoshi Amami.
He worked at the Divine Taste confectionery store that his aunt Rika Amami owned.
Actually, Hoshi didn't want to work at his relatives' store. However, his older sisters were strongly against him coming out to work, so after Hoshi fought with his life on the line, they expressed that this was the only place they could accept and insisted on working at.
Hoshi couldn't help but want to sigh when he thought of his sisters.
Although they had their shortcomings, in general, they were all very good sisters.
However, for him, who was already in the third year of middle school, the biggest problem was that his sisters were too "nice"!
Hoshi was very grateful to them for taking good care of him ever since he was young. However, he was already in the third year of middle school, and he was still "spoiled" by his sisters. Wasn't this a little strange!?
Apart from being "spoiled," he was also restricted in many ways by his sisters. He didn't have any privacy at all. Not only did his sisters know what type of girl he liked, but they even knew where he hid his porn magazines and how many times he did it in a week … He had enough!
Not long ago, he finally worked up the courage to confess to a girl that he had a crush on for a long time. In the end, she tactfully rejected him and said, "I like more masculine types, Amami-kun's words are a little …"
Hoshi received a huge blow from this, and after being depressed for an entire week, he decided to change himself!
If he wanted to cultivate his independence and manliness, working was a good choice, and he could also save some pocket money. After all, as an otaku, his hobbies still required money.
However, this idea of his was unsurprisingly strongly opposed by his sisters. He fought with his life on the line, and in the end, this was the result.
In the changing room of the store, Hoshi changed into his uniform while doing his best to calm himself down.
'Aunt told me that I could do it, and Senpai are all good people … No problem, I'll definitely do it well!'
He continuously encouraged himself in his mind as he looked into the mirror.
Reflected in the mirror was a slender boy with long and thin eyebrows, clear and gentle light green eyes, soft and glossy dark brown hair, and light red moist lips … He was so handsome that he didn't look like a boy at all!
When he was young, Hoshi didn't feel like there was anything wrong with his face, but as he grew older, he gradually realized that his appearance as a male had a fatal flaw — he looked too much like a girl!
After realizing this, he slowly discovered that some things that he was used to, such as boys blushing when they saw him, causing a commotion when he walked into the men's restroom, all the boys would turn their heads away when he was changing during gym class, and occasionally receiving love letters from boys he didn't know … such things were actually abnormal!
With such a face and such a thin body, it was only natural that he would be viewed as lacking manliness.
But, it didn't matter.
'From today onwards, I'm going to properly change myself!'
Hoshi neatly put on his uniform.
At this moment, the changing room door opened.
"Good morning … Oh? A newcomer? "
"Y-yes!"
Hoshi turned around and widened his eyes in surprise when he saw who it was.
'So handsome!'
The newcomer was a tall and handsome boy with a handsome face. He took off his jacket, revealing his muscular arms. He had a gentle smile on his face, and he seemed to be giving off an aura that was as dazzling as the sun.
Hoshi was stunned … He had never seen such a handsome boy before.
Perhaps this could be considered narcissistic, but the prettiest boy he had ever seen in his entire life was his own! And this was the first time he had ever seen a boy who could make him admit defeat in terms of looks, and … this boy was incredibly manly!
That's right, this boy was more handsome than he was, but he didn't seem effeminate at all, only handsome.
This … this was practically … the embodiment of his ideal image!
"Yep … You must be the newcomer that the store owner mentioned, her nephew." The handsome boy found his wardrobe and began changing clothes as he observed Hoshi. "Just as she said, you're a boy who looks like a girl."
* Pfft! * Hoshi felt as if he had been stabbed by a knife.
So … that's how my aunt sees me as well? ' He smiled wryly in his heart.
"Eh? Do you really mind this? " The handsome boy raised his eyebrows as he noticed Hoshi's disappointment. At the same time, he took off his T-shirt and jeans, revealing his well-defined muscles and his manliness.
"I'm sorry … but since you know this yourself, you just need to do your best to face it. Straighten your back and raise your spirits! If you're always calculating in your heart and get depressed at the slightest provocation, you'll become even more like a girl. "
As he spoke, the handsome boy quickly put on his uniform and skillfully tidied himself up before flashing a bright smile at Hoshi.
"Get to work, newcomer!"
"Oh … Yes! Senpai! "
Hoshi couldn't help but respond in a loud voice as he followed the handsome senpai out of the changing room.
