My Evil System

Sitting at the very last was also a bad move on my part since I was sure that all attention would be on me.

When Lina sat, I shot straight to my feet and stammered out my name.

"H-hello, my name is C-Cross."

I heard laughter and murmurs, and I was off to a great start. Mind the sarcasm.

Way to go for making another impression after my blunder with the meat thing in the cafeteria yesterday night.

"Do you have any aspirations, C-Cross?" Teacher Fey called out to me jokingly, and the others laughed even more, and I wanted to shrink from where I stood.

Aspirations, huh . . . I couldn't say any if she asked me so suddenly.

But as everyone's focus was on me, I had to say something.

"Eh . . . let me see . . . to get back on earth?"

. . .

. . .

Another heavy silence descended in the room, and I had to wonder if I had said something strange.

Wasn't that how anyone would mostly say in our given circumstances? To go back home and resume our life?

Zhang let out a condescending laugh, and in this quietness, his laughter bounced along the room.

"Can you believe this guy? It's like he was just transported here yesterday."
Hyden covered his smirk over his fist. "Sorry to burst your bubble, Cross, but there's no going back on earth for us. I think you will need to have another aspiration."

Others laughed while I heard that 'meat' thing again.

"His really that ignorant?"

"Well, he did buy meat without thinking about the consequences."

I really was ignorant. I admitted.


In my more than one-month stay here, my other self and I didn't bother to gather as much information about this world and about the Academy.

I was busy wallowing in despair while my other self was busy building his territory.

Even going into this Academy was decided on a whim while other players dedicated their time and effort to gather as much information as they could about this word and about this Academy before they enrolled in here.

I blamed myself and blamed my other self for being complacent because of the System.
