Chapter 21: Indirect revenge
At lunch break I was the first to leave the class, I made sure to show everyone that I was still injured and that I was limping, the people who already knew of my injury from Claude were convinced that Tsugumi injured me even more and that it might be a very serious injury.
They also thought that this morning I was simply acting to make their guilt lessen, with that false thought in mind they felt even more guilty.
After leaving at lunch break I went back home and sent a text to the school saying that I was still injured and needed rest.
After going back home I simply made myself something to eat then switched to my sport clothes, and headed out to the park.
------
After 4 hrs of training it was around time for Kenichi and Miu to come, I was already dead tired from the training but I had an idea.
'Open inventory'
[Inventory:
10000 yen.
4 energy replenisher. ]
I used one of the 4 energy replenishers I had and I could clearly feel my body slowly gaining back it's strength, now all I had to do was lay down and rest for a bit until Kenichi and Miu arrive.
"... Amon... Amon.... Amon!!!"
I suddenly got woken up by the voice of Kenichi who was yelling right in front of my face.
It seems like I was really tired, I couldn't help but fall asleep.
Well it's already time to go back to training, I started training again with Kenichi while Miu was looking over us this time, she even complimented how "fast" I improved but I knew very well that I had no talent in martial art and the only reason I did improve was simply that I was putting in 4 times the amount of effort and time Kenichi did which made me seem slightly more talented than him.
After going at it for 2 more hours we all decided to go back home and meet up again the next day.
Training this way felt amazing though, every passing hour I could feel slight improvements in the fluidity and precision of my movements, it was also starting to feel as if I was learning how to master my newly gained stats and getting accustomed to my body.
Learning how to utilize my body to its best would allow me to beat enemies with even higher stats than mine and that without any skill, that's why I was putting in so much efforts.
Even if skill were very useful and would for sure be very reliable I knew that I shouldn't rely on them too much, even if skills are able to support me I should also know how to utilize my own body, for example the calligraphy allow me to have a nicer handwriting but if my handwriting was originally bad then the slight increase would make it so that it's just a bit less worse.
So I should see the skills as a way to enhance my original abilities instead of something to replace them.
-------
Today I decided to go to school a bit earlier than usual, I waited on purpose to arrive later than Chitoge and Tsugumi.
Yesterday night I came back home earlier than usual just to make sure today's plan would work.
I watched a lot of tutorials about make up and learnt how to apply on myself to make myself look more tired in a way that looks extremely natural.
After arriving in front of the classroom I reviewed my plan in my head, then after taking a deep breath I started limping again and opened the door of the classroom.
I entered with my head down while everyone could see I looked hurt and tired.
"What's wrong buddy?" Shu tried to lighten up the mood.
"I couldn't sleep yesterday night." I replied coldly without even looking at him.
I simply went to my seat and put my head down feigning that I was trying to get some sleep.
"Amon.."
Chitoge tried to come closer to me to apologize but I wasn't planning on letting it happen so easily.
"Please don't come anywhere near me. I already lost both of my parents and all of my past friends while moving out. All I have left is this body of mine so I wouldn't like losing any of my limbs." I warned her coldly.
Everyone in the class could hear my words and Tsugumi was obviously not unfazed. I was almost sure that during the day I left early chitoge and everyone else told her about me and how each of them was indebted to me in their own way.
She was the one who looked the most guilty there, most of the class looked at her as if she was the one guilty for taking away all my friends and parent, it was almost too easy to shift all the blame on her.
It was quite laughable since I didn't even know those parents and friends everyone seemed to be sad about, but for once I have to say that they were pretty useful.
"I'm very sorry!" Tsugumi couldn't hold it anymore and apologized to me with close to teary eyes.
"What are you sorry about? My family dying? Or you trying to hit an injured man who can barely move? Or you being stupid enough to act without even using those useless brain cells of yours?" I acted as if I couldn't take it anymore and spoke up loud enough so that everyone could hear me.
Every single word of mine made the whole class resent her more and more, everyone in here was already on my side and saw me as some kind of poor and kind orphan who got hurt while saving someone, even if we weren't so close before that was enough to shift their opinion of me.
With the public opinion on my side and all that pressure on her Tsugumi found herself in an unknown environment, Chitoge tried to comfort her but then remembered how I got hurt because of her.
I helped her search for Raku's pendant, I also was the only one to believe in her cake and eat it, and that's without counting the fact that I tried to help them get them out of the warehouse which resulted in me getting hurt because of one of her gang members.
With Chitoge out of the way I could keep this scene going.
"So which one is it?" I asked coldly, I was making my resentment very clear whether it be in my voice or gaze.
"I'm sorry for everything... I was very stupid.." She looked down with teary eyes while bowing, I could feel like she was very soon going to break down in tears.
That's when I heard the notification of the completion of the quest.
'Seems like it's time for me to end this drama.'
I limped towards her and brought my hand close to her head, she flinched thinking that I was going to hit her and everyone actually had the same idea in mind.
But then I simply patted her head and put on the best smile possible.
"Your apologies are accepted and I'm sorry for not introducing myself to my new classmate hahahaha." I said with a warm smile.
I grabbed her hand and shook it. "I'm Amon Daisetsu what about you?"
Everyone looked at this sight with a shocked face, the 12 points in Charisma made everyone look at me during this little theater scene and made my acting even more convincing.
I could see everyone mumbling about how much of a kind and pure heart I had, luckily I didn't let tsuguru break down in tears or else they might've all switched sides, that's how powerful a woman's tears are. But thanks to the stunt I pulled I escaped all of that and instead made them admire me even more.
Suddenly I heard the sound of yet another system notification.
[Congratulations on reaching 10 believers!]
[Congratulations on obtaining the titles "angel (F)"!]
The title name was very interesting even for an F rank title so I directly clicked on it out of curiosity.
[Title: Angel (Rank F)
Description:
Obtain this title by making 10 people firmly believe you are an angel on earth.
This title makes people trust the user more easily.]
It seems like this little title might be very useful to me, coupled with my high charisma it should be enough to make many people my allies.
Though this little drama show gave me much more rewards than I ever thought I might get. Not only did I get the quest reward but also a new title which might be extremely useful.
Who would've thought that 10 people in this class see me as an angel.
Bahahahaha Amon the angel does have a nice ring to it.
