Love Fest!

The sound of chirping can be heard at the window. In the apartment, there was an alarm clock on the side of Hiroto, which suddenly started ringing out loud. He stopped the alarm as he presses its button, then he yawned while stretching his arms above.

Hiroto got up and started stretching for real. He bought a tracksuit last two week and used it as his training suit for his ongoing 'Physical' excursion. It would start like this, he would go outside, inhaling the natural air around before exhaling it. He would jog to the park and do his routine there. He would do 100 push-ups, sit-ups, squats and others. He already cut down his exercise time since he had class later, and he would think of another way to gain SP.

The fact is that Hiroto's 'Physical' is already high and so he's just doing this for the SP. His other skill 'writing' for example, was grindable but it drains him mentally. He would explore and try to unlock his noticeable 'Soul Power' stat to see if it can give him a boost in terms of mental fortitude. Feeling excited of unlocking that attribute, he continued his 'workout' with motivation and an hour later, he finished.

There would always be some 'girls' that would bother him during his excursion, but Hiroto didn't try and entertain them, by that he earned the title 'Silent Lady Killer' from the hearts of the girls that wanted his attention. He wants to be a 'Low Key Person' for now, from this point onward, if he goes out the house he would try and disguise himself or use caps more often. This mentality would probably change in the future since he was already considering the things he would try.

Hiroto wiped his sweat while he returned home. He took a shower and changed to his uniform before eating his diet breakfast, (AN2: banana diet?) he wondered why was 'I still following his diet when there's no point for it, but oh well', he thought he would buy delicious food thereafter. He didn't forget to thank his (now) parents for giving him the sustenance even if they are far away, 'he should call his parents later again or maybe ask them to go home', he thought while smiling in the process. After his breakfast, he walked outside bringing his bag and headed to school and in the process, meeting Yasuo along the way. Fist bumping Yasuo, Hiroto asked.

"How's the training regime I gave to you?" Hiroto alongside Yasuo.

"Perfect! I feel my muscles will bulge anytime!" Yasuo form a fist and threw punches in the air, though Yasuo felt slight soreness once he was done.

"Idiot, it won't bulge overnight and your muscles will go numb and sore if you overdid it." Hiroto was satisfied was happy to see him this pumped.

Workout was just many exercises. It is a bunch of exercises put together to do many activities and to achieve a healthy body. Of course, he could just propose to go to a gym every day, it would probably be easier for him.

"I know-i know, I'm just joking with you, I can feel a bit of ache on my body." Yasuo laughs helplessly then showed a determined expression as if 'This time I will get a girlfriend!' type of expression.

Hiroto did give him a training routine, but it was easier compared to the current schedule he had, of course he would not say that.

- - - -

Hiroto look at their class schedule, it was on the handout Kirisu-sensei distribute yesterday. He read the schedule, it had an everyday 30 minute homeroom, four subjects in the morning and two subjects in the afternoon. The afternoon subject would be shifted to PE and Home Education every wednesday. Lastly was another homeroom, respectively for cleaning the room. After that everyone would be free to go to their respective club or go home.

Entering the class, the morning session started. Kirisu-sensei initiated the homeroom call and after that, she distributed a test paper to everyone. Kirisu said followingly,

"This will determine how far your high school academic level is. The time is 8:59 am, we will start at 9:00 am. The test is for 1 hour, the time.. starts…. now!." Kirisu watch her wrist watch as the tick until the last second. The sudden test had began.

The students flip the paper to see the questionnaires and they start writing their own 'answers'. Yasuo stared at the questions as if wanting to dig a hole on the test paper, he didn't have any idea on the questions. The exam in the enrollment was much easier than this and everyone thought 'it's just the second day, why do you have an exam when we haven't even started discussing what's on the paper' everyone thought as they grumbled in their head.

'Kirisu-sensei should be the class adviser of the other class where everyone there had better grades than us!.' The gossip around Kirisu was bad, her strict and on point personality made her hard to reach out, every student right now wished they were handled by the other class adviser which they heard was not just a m.a.t.u.r.e beautiful sensei but also was kind and understanding.

Hiroto stared at the questionnaire while looking for the answers in his memories. His predecessor had a little to low knowledge about everything about the minor and major subjects, He shook his head as he can only answer what his predecessor knows, he felt bitter, in his past life he wasn't able to study at highschool level and was only able to enter elementary when he was still at the orphanage.

He should probably go study and cram knowledge for a bit.

Kirisu observe the students especially the better looking guy Hiroto and the energetic Yasuo. Yasuo was observed by Kirisu as he felt the passing glances which made him cold every so often while also feeling a bit scared of what would happen after. Hiroto was also a slightly nervous since some of his answers used luck, this should be enough to barely scr.a.p.e some points to pass right?.

1 hour had passed.

"Times up! finish or not, pass your papers." Kirisu-sensei look at the students as she urged the student to bring the exam papers in front..

Hiroto signed and passed his paper forward, even with the help of his predecessor memories, he was only able to answer some of the questions. "That's all, those who know that they will fail the exam should study for re-examination. I will announce your scores tomorrow. Goodbye."

Yasuo placed his arms on his desk and sighed heavily "That line, I felt that Kirisu-sensei, was talking to us."

"Yeah, She even glared at us, and why would sensei test us this early, the test had some topics from the entrance exam and some we hadn't yet to discuss. " Hiroto leaned on his chair while looking at the book he just got from the bookstore and was feeling annoyed scornful to his predecessor's stock knowledge.

"Right, it was harder than the entrance exam." Yasuo sighed as he thought.

While in class Hiroto read some of the books he brought, it was just the start of class, the professor wasn't teaching discussing heavy stuff so he thought he could gain SP now and the afternoon class. Until he didn't realize it was already lunch break

- - 12:00nn- -

"Hiroto, let's go to the cafeteria." Yasuo walk close to Hiroto's desk. The morning classes just finished. He looked at Yasuo while he put the book at the table.

"What lunch would you buy there?" Hiroto inquisitively asks.

"Maybe?, like Gyudon and I want to tr….." Hiroto smacked Yasuo's back again while telling him 'What's the point of the workout if you would just eat fatty foods, just eat veggies according to the plan I gave you.' Yasuo was aggrieved but understanding what Hiroto's said he complied.

"You go first, I have something to do." Hiroto stand up.

"O-kay?, Then I will eat first " Yasuo wanted to ask but he denied the idea and bid farewell.He thought he made Hiroto's angry, he got more determined and trodden to the canteen and buy the green stuff. (AN: Don't do drugs everyone)

- - - -

Hiroto collected his books with him, he got out from the classroom and went to the library. He sat on a vacant chair and put his things on the table. He chose to study Math first, he flipped the book and see the content of it.

Surprisingly, it is easier than he imagined. He searched his predecessor's deeper and he discovered that he's not bad (his brain specifically.). If he didn't spend all of his time on the computer, then even on exam days he might be able to pull off and get a good grade, but unfortunately he became so addicted that he lost his will to study so it says on his final exam in the middle school where he failed, he retook the test during the last week of his class before he got freed from the school and graduated, he just crammed the knowledge and he easily got an average score, 'This guy..'. Even at the highschool entrance examination, he barely even passed, then just die....

Hiroto was too absorbed in his books that lunchtime is over in a blink of an eye. The westminster chime suddenly rang, finally Hiroto realized that lunchtime came to an end. He packed up his books and put it in his bag. He quickly run-walk into his classroom and made it on time before the teacher to arrive. Hiroto thought of nothing interesting was happening around, he noticed the curious gaze of the girls at the library, since he was one of the few males in the school, he was like a candy to the flies, with his better looks, it's just looking for trouble, so he just stayed silent and read his books.

Then the afternoon classes start, it was boringly the same with his morning class. Though, he just began to read his books, and didn't care about the individual introduction of the subjects. Though sometimes the professor would call everyone for a bit of familiarization, but overall he spends his noon class with the books. He hasn't seen how much SP he got, but it should be substantial, he thought. He wants to see a surprise, maybe reading for a whole day would give him many SP. And he didn't know if others may see the screen, he was just cautious and was not in a hurry.

- - - -

The school bell chimes 'Oh, That means afternoon class is over.' Hiroto thought, 'what about homeroom for noon?', he realized they haven't designated who would clean the room up.

Yasuo stretched his arms in the air "Finally the class is over. Hiroto wanna grab something before going home?" He looked at Hiroto who is putting his books inside his backpack.

"Nah, I'm going to the music room" Hiroto said while he thought he should maximize his Piano Skill, grind and practice, a win win situation. 'Also I might see Ayase-senpai or Toujou-senpai on the way or that red haired girl.'

"What do you want to do there? To play piano?" Yasuo asked then Hiroto noidded, he continued.

"I see you wanted to follow your mother's path towards music?, it's been a while since I hear you play piano, the last time was around at our grade school. "

"Yeah It's been awhile, but I am still way too far to become like my mother who is a pianist that admired by many ha-ha but I am not planning to follow my mother everywhere." Hiroto thought while thinking of his mother, 'mother was a pianist that works in different establishments, from star hotels to restaurants, she performed for a high price, currently she was performing at Akihabara, she should be going home soon as I haven't seen her during the vacation based from my memories. Also she's one of the most popular pianists in the country, she was nearing to become a world-class pianist.' It's a pressure to the old Hiroto, maybe that's why he turned into an Otaku.

"Too bad I can't hear it for today, my mother wanted me to buy some stuff before going home." Yasuo almost forgot he needed to buy something after school as he secretly sighed and shook his head in disappointment

"Yeah, you better study in advance after getting home, I saw you just glaring on the answers and not writing anything." Hiroto sighed and said goodbye to Yasuo, they walked outside the classroom and they parted as he heads to the music room's direction. Before going there, he decided to go first to the comfort room to see his SP now. After settling down in a cubicle, he opened and looked at his SP.

[SP: 205] Hiroto thought, he probably gotten around 8+ per hour, considering the 7 hours he had read. His earnings were lesser compared to the earnings from his workout, 'Reading and Workout were both tiresome but reading can be done for many hours in peace while workout can only be in an hour at best or your muscles will hurt..', but he thought 'the low earn was probably because I haven't understood the subject book fully, so it was decrease?'.he understood the cause, it was not the worst and hey, he can do this for many coming classes. If the teacher are like Kirisu-sensei, he would try and be like the other students by listening but if others, he would just read in the process. It would greatly benefit him in the future.

Hiroto reached the door of the music room. He looked at the other music rooms door, curiously to see if someone was in there, well he shrugged and opened the door.

'In the future, I will consider buying a piano to play at home' though Hiroto preferred playing piano with someone, since they can hear and be amazed by his 'awesomeness' and he can lure that 'peeping tom' yesterday.

Piano's were very expensive, even the normal pianos already cost thousands. He didn't want a low cost one, he would buy the better after he had the money.

He touched the grand piano again and set up before sitting on the piano bench. 'What should I play today? Maybe, play some of Mozart's piano pieces, let's see.' Hiroto put his fingers on the keys and played [Rondo Alla Turcha], his fingers are dancing on the piano keyboard as if it came to life on its own and happy playing around, making sounds so cheerful and making at the audience at ease. The harmony was so perfect and well sync to each other, Hiroto's performance attracted the few students walking past the music room. They peek at the door to find the source of the sound.

- - -

A certain red haired girl wanted to go play the piano since she had completed the first verse of her piano piece, she wanted to perfect it before continuing the piece. She was going to open the music room but suddenly she heard a piano piece being played. She was curious again, 'it may be who was playing yesterday', she wanted to ask but she always denied the idea.'Is it the one who played the piano yesterday?', it cycled in to her mind until her brain melted in crimson blush. Until her phone rang on her pocket. It was a text message from her father. Her father was telling her to go home early as he had appointed her to a high school cram class tonight. Seeing this, she got sullen as seen on her face, she got out of the building. Leaving the other students who were attracted by the music playing overhead.

- - -

After Hiroto finished [Rondo Alla turca], he didn't stop there with his eyes are tightly shut, he played another piano piece and after another, he didn't mind the students who were already inside the music room surrounding him with a bright expression on their faces. He can feel the emotions of the musicians that compose and created it wholeheartedly as if he is the one who created it in the first place. He continued to play until he reaches the 4th and the final piece for today. As his fingers press the last note of the piano piece he's playing did he finally opened his eyes and saw the crowd surrounding him. He was surprised by how many students were here in this small music room, thus he did not know how to react, he estimated there were more than 50 students inside and outside the music room. There were so many female girls and only few boys was around. Before then, one of the students clap her hands and the others followed suit.

'Such a handsome and he plays piano too, iyaaaa'

"Since when did we have such a handsome pianist! " Fangirl B

"By looking at his tie he's a first year student. A prodigy! Plus a lady killer! Kiyaaaaaaat" fangirl C

"Such a perfect harmony and well played, Even though I don't know about pianos it still told me that the harmony and the combination of the notes are way too perfect, especially the first piece he played." one of the normal female students said.

"I know right, you can feel that the notes are playing as if it become alive and having a joyous moment of their lives." Said by the other student.

From the student council room Eli and Nozomi was there busy at their role as the student council president and vice president, they heard from someone gossiping and running past the council room "Let's hurry, someone was playing such entertaining song from the music room", Eli and nozomi look at each other and they know what they are thinking so they decide to postpone on what they are doing. But when they get there it's already crowded and unable to get in so decided to let Hiroto to end his performance they know it's very rude to interrupt someone while performing before she let the students know her presence. The students know the Student Council President so they give way, and when Eli and Nozomi finally saw Hiroto with a troubled face hanging on his face, she understood it immediately, they stopped and turned around to look at the students in front of them "I understand that all of you was amazed with his performance, since the show is over please get back to your own respective businesses." Eli clapped her hands with a smile as if commanding every student.surrounding them . then finally the students inside get out of the music room and went back to their own respective clubs and others go back to their own duties.

"Thank you, Ayase-senpai, Nozomi-senpai for helping." Hiroto scratch the back of his head smiling embarrassingly.

"It's only natural to help a student in need" Eli smiled back.

"You're making this school year interesting." Nozomi smile and a lot of expectations is written on her face.

"Toujou-senpai, I'm just nothing but an ordinary first year student. Please don't expect a lot from me" Hiroto holds the back of his neck and smiles.

"Umm. I have to go now. Sorry for troubling you Ayase-senpai, Toujou-senpai" Hiroto picked up his bag and look at Eli and Nozomi before bowing.

"It's okay, then Be careful on you way home. Let's go Nozomi" Eli smiled at Hiroto then look at Nozomi

"See you later, Tamaki-kun" Nozomi waved at him before following Eli

- - - -

Hiroto got home, he decided not working-out for the night and focus typing the rest of the Volume 1 chapters of Haruhi Suzumiya. He typed were he left of 'Kyon finds that each of these supposedly "helpless victims...yada.yada.yada..'.

...

This time Hiroto was able to finish around 3 chapters over 2 hours, he felt that every chapter of the story he was rewriting was turning longer than the previous one, or is just his imagination?. But, the buildup of the story was getting nicer and nicer too. He copy pasted the chapters and opened the 'Syosetsuu' website. Logging to his account, he could already see the notifications in the top left of his author profile. Surely some people got hooked with that two chaps he posted, feeling good about himself, he checked the chapters before uploading them. He also completed his profile account information, thereby securing the copyrights in his name.

Hiroto decided that after he completed the Volume 1 and 2 of the web novel, he would try to get it serialized with one of the light novel publishing companies in the city. With that he would be able to earn money and stop smooching to his parents.

Hiroto looked at his earned SP for today and he was shocked.

[SP: 425] Hiroto looked at his SP when he was in the comfort room, he remembered it was 205 before, but now it leaped. Playing piano was that good? 'was it because so many students where listening?', 'I was only playing for about 30 minutes!,' he predicted it was that, it seems that it's really good to perform while people watch as it substantially increased his SP. While he also considered the SP he earned with writing the web novel, it was only around 40 per hour and he worked for two hours for that. The left would be 140 SP, that's equivalent to working out for 3 hour and a half, and it didn't tire him out.

Hiroto thought that if he get other perform able skills in the future, he would try and perform with to a big audience, and we'll see how much SP would that bring, he laughed while looking so greedy. Though he would prefer to be low-key, he was not a scaredy cat that would get fl.u.s.tered in front of people. If it would earn him money and SP then the hassle and trouble it may bring were worth it. Two days from now he would be able to roll with his Skill Gacha again, or he could try his luck in the Consumable Gacha.

For now he decided to sleep.
