[Let me remind the host, that I am here to assist you becoming the world strongest swordsman, not to turn you into one. By assisting, means that it is still entirely up to you if you can achieve that goal]
'I never wanted to be one anyways!'
[Host have the option of uninstalling the system if you feel like it. I would leave your body and erase your memories about me, then you can live just like you did in your past life. You are the son of the Duke, that alone should be more than enough to secure a carefree life]
'...'
Go back to the way he live in his past life? Become a major disappointment, an obese shut-in otaku who still leeches off his parents at the age of 40, with no work nor money?
No way.
He was given a new life, was he just going to waste it like he did in his previous life?
'Damn you system.' In the end, Clyde could only curse the system. 'Can't you at least not make me work this hard?! I can't feel my arms and legs!'
[Host, it is called working hard because it is hard. If you want your life to be easy then just give up on me and you can choose how hard you train. Because I will not have a host who only complains about his weakness but doesn't even work hard to increase his strength]
'...Forget it. Anyway, I have already completed the mission right? Give me my starter-pack.'
[Host has completed the 1-star mission and received one starter-pack. Would Host like to open it now?]
'Yes!'
[Congratulations, Host has received minor increase in your physique due to the high-intensity training; Host has received minor increase in durability and pain resistance]
Clyde felt a warm sensation throughout his body. It was relaxing and soothing, like taking a warm bath in a hot spring after a stressful day while drinking some sake.
He feels like his current physical strength should be above an ordinary low 1-star warrior, but below a mid 1-star warrior.
So he could probably be considered to be an invincible in low 1-star, with only a few being able to rival him.
It was still too weak, but Clyde was already beyond satisfied. A 1-star warrior is already as strong as a peak-human like a certain "science experiment" in his past life.
Clyde rolled on the ground and took a deep breath before pushing himself up, with his arms and legs struggling to support his dead tired body.
However, Clyde doesn't know when, but a person appeared in front of him and presented him a small vial of blue liquid.
Clyde stared at the person and froze. It was a beautiful silver-haired woman that looks exactly like a certain sister of a certain king from a game and anime he watched and played in his previous life.
However, he quickly snap out of it and stared at the vial of blue liquid on the woman's hands.
Clyde already has an idea as to who this woman as the author of "Dragon King Descent" admitted that he used anime and game characters as a reference for his novel characters.
He himself looks a lot like King of Heroes from a certain franchise.
If Clyde was right about his guess on who is this woman in front of him, then Clyde will do his best to avoid her and get as far away from her as possible.
Because if he's right, then this woman is Morgan Edelweiss. The combat instructor of Asgard Academy and one of the youngest person to reach 7-star in history.
She will also become one of the MC's harem member who would save his ass quite a lot in the future.
Not to mention she was one of the many people who united to go fight Duke Gnaeus and destroy their house and killed the novel-Clyde.
Taking the vial, Clyde said to her, "Thank you for this professor Edelweiss. Rejuvenating Potions isn't easy to come by."
He gulped it down and immediately felt his fatigue and soreness disappear in an instant. He stared at Morgan and bowed his head.
"I will remember this favor and repay you in the future," without waiting for a reply, he turn around and walked away.
Getting closer with a heroine? As if!
At first he does have this idea, but his meager strength and useless system won't give him that luxury. The number of life threatening situation the hero and the heroines got involved in was numerous.
Getting closer to them is asking the mother nature to throw a storm, followed by earthquake, and get washed by a tsunami, and hoping to survive.
In the future, Clyde only hopes to be able to marry an average girl, and have an average life in the countryside and enjoy the great outdoors.
Morgan stared at Clyde's retreating back in deep thought. 'This man is nothing like the rumors. Though his qualifications might not be high, and can even be considered low, at least he won't be a complete trash.'
She turned around and returned to the staff office, not bothering about this little incident. Though she was fascinated by the spirit of that student, she knows deep in her heart that he won't be anything more than 3-Star warrior.
Hardwork can only take you so far.
If Clyde heard her thoughts, he would definitely complain.
In the novel, when she saw the MC 'working hard' she immediately thought that he will have a bright future despite having a low quality spirit.
She also thought that he was different from other men, especially nobles, and has supported him throughout the way. In the end, she fell into the arms of the mc and became a part of his harem.
Though, Clyde would also be thankful since now, the heroine won't bother him.
He only wants to work hard to grow in strength, and secure a safe and comfortable life. He don't want to get involved with the mess the mc and his harem would be involved in.
Now in his room, Clyde took off his clothes and took a bath. In there, his thoughts began to drift into his purpose in going in this school.
Should he drop out? Truthfully, he doesn't know. If he doesn't want to get involved with the plot, then he should've joined other academies.
It's not like the system or his father forced him to join this academy. It was his own choice. And he regretted it.
However, he decided to just attend the school since from what he remembered, there isn't really any world ending plots that happen in the school. Graduating here would also increase his and his family's prestige.
Of course there are some face slapping here and there, but that's reserve for the protagonist! As a minor villain and son of a Duke, he can just live his life as he wished.
"System, can't you give me a little power boost?"
[I can. But flooding your body with power would cause you to explode since your body is too weak to handle it]
"Then just give me the minimum amount you can give!"
[I already did. I rewarded you earlier didn't I?]
"Fuck. That little thing is all you can give me?"
[If you want more, then please do 1,000 push ups, 1,000 sit-ups, 1,000 squats, and 1,000 kilometer run. Of course don't forget to swing a 100kg sword 1,000 times.]
"Goddammit!"
Ignoring the system, Clyde decided to take a bath before sleeping. He was too damn tired!
[Host, don't forget to "exercise" tomorrow, okay? It's necessary for you to grow strong]
"Shut up you sadistic system! Let me sleep peacefully!"
