Chapter 4: Goal to become a top student
Grabbing the wooden sword with both hands, he raised it high above his head and then slashed down hard.
"Hahh!"
When practicing something like Kendo, it really feels better to shout out every time.
Although it seems a bit strange, it is better than not making any sound at all. Moreover, making sounds while practicing the sword was also included in the free tutorial he received when he bought a wooden sword.
With sweat all over his body, Kenichi put down the wooden sword in his hand.
Such repetitive and monotonous exercises will inevitably make him feel a bit bored, but with such things as the attribute bar, he can see that his proficiency will increase a little after each practice.
Although he can't feel it with his body, there is clear data telling him. His progress, which can be seen with the naked eye, gives Kenichi the motivation to practice unremittingly every day.
After washing off the sweat from his body, he sat on the only table in the room and opened the book on it.
This was a first-year high school textbook; school was about to start after all, and as a student now, studying is naturally the top priority.
Because he had a system, even if he doesn't go to school, he will definitely succeed in the end.
But the parents of this body spent most of the family's living expenses and even paid Hasegawa a sum of money for living expenses every month, which was not a small amount for them.
So for the sake of his parents, he couldn't ignore his education.
To think of it, Kenichi had an inconspicuous existence in school from elementary school to college graduation in his previous life.
His academic performance was neither good nor bad, and he was neither admired nor despised by others; he just existed.
Now that he has the opportunity to go to school again, Kenichi wants to become a top student, if possible.
That's right, a top student.
When he was in school in his previous life, he would often envy those who had good academic performance, especially those who were top academics.
As a top student, he could have countless privileges in school.
If the top student and the bad student skip class at the same time, the top student will be asked by the teacher if something happened, looking worried.
But if you have bad grades and do the same, no matter what, you will definitely be scolded.
So, if possible, he really wanted to be a top student.
Without the system, he might not have such extravagant hopes, but with the system, Kenichi read a book for a while and acquired a learning skill.
The knowledge from high school textbooks becomes easier to understand and comprehend for him as he keeps on studying. It turned out to be extremely simple.
Kenichi does not need to spend a lot of energy or time; he can master the knowledge in high school just by reading books and writing.
When it comes to writing, he has a skill called calligraphy.
With such skills, if he does not become a top student and enjoy the privileges of being one, it will really be in vain.
The plan he made for himself was to read for an hour and write for an hour, at least until these two skills were upgraded to level 4.
Well, during the holiday. As for the remaining time, he can do what he wants to do. For example, reading novels and comics, or trying to write novels, draw comics, etc.
Although the level of these skills is still very low, he enjoys them.
Kenichi even feels like he is playing an online game, especially since this online game not only changes the virtual data in the game but directly affects his body in reality.
Putting down the comic book in his hand and looking at the time, it was almost five o'clock and time to set off to work.
He works at Yamaharu Izakaya from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Four hours in total.
During this time of the day, the business of the izakaya is the busiest, especially since Kenichi is just a temporary worker and a helper in the kitchen.
Obviously, they will not let him spend time working when there is no business, so Kenichi can earn about 4,000 yen a day.
Although it is not much, it is actually enough for his living expenses. As long as he doesn't spend money lavishly.
Although he didn't have much money, he already had a plan in mind.
From that point on, he would no longer ask for living expenses from his family but would earn his own living expenses.
Even the school tuition would be earned by himself. Although he may not be able to earn much money for a while and cannot give money to his parents at home,.
But at least he does not need to ask his parents for money.
Kenichi has a rough plan.
A novel—a light novel, to be precise.
Although it is not easy to make money from light novels, there are only a few authors who can really make money, and many others may not even be able to make ends meet.
But with the system, he obviously wouldn't be like this; as long as he is willing, he can succeed in any industry with his system.
Kenichi plans to practice for now, and after his writing level reaches level 3, he will officially submit articles.
If that doesn't work, he would spend some more time increasing his proficiency and upgrading it to level 4 or even level 5.
"Hasegawa, are you here?" Chef Subaru greeted Kenichi with a smile after seeing him.
"Chef Subaru."
"Let's get changed."
"yes."
After putting on his work clothes, Kenichi Hasegawa walked into the kitchen. But at this time, a girl of similar age to Kenichi Hasegawa came over and said, "Are you the temporary kitchen assistant at the izakaya? Well, you look ordinary."
"Hello."
He didn't care about the girl's words and responded with a flat smile.
"Riko, what are you talking about?" Chef Subaru looked at the girl and couldn't help but shout at her softly.
"What? I'm obviously telling the truth. Forget it; I'm going to go play with my classmates; see you later."
The girl named Riko didn't even look at Hasegawa Kenichi again.
Sure enough, no one wants to talk to an inconspicuous person. She even bothered to talk to him because Kenichi worked part-time at her dad's place.
"Hasegawa, I'm sorry; my daughter can be quite rude at times."
"It doesn't matter, and what she said is true. After all, I am really ordinary." Kenichi smiled calmly.
"Little girls are so superficial; what's the use of having a good-looking face? People like Hasegawa who have good personalities and are hard-working and capable are the ones who can be relied on."
Chef Subaru encouraged Kenichi with a thumbs up.
Of course, he was just encouraging; if Kenichi really wanted to pursue his daughter, he would definitely beat him to death.
