Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 85 - Back to the Academy
This reality game show is suddenly becoming too realistic for my taste.I mean… If it’s realistic in its battle scene where I can feel physical pain and fear of dying, it’s great! It’s like playing in VR, and I can just act accordingly.But that Cornwell old man isn’t in the game at all, is he? I don’t remember him at all! Which means he must be just an unimportant NPC going rough. Which is… Well… Undesirable.It freaked me out that he knows me already, and that he wanted to sort things out between me and Harcourt.UGH!The shivers!“A-Are you alright, Terrence?!” Terrence’s mother, Floryn, asked as we enter the plaza.Nice breeze sweeps past us as the double glass door close behind us.“Y-Yeah. Just, the wind just startled me, that’s all.” I lied.“Oh you must be cold! Pull up your zipper!” Instead of leaving me to do it myself, she pulls my zipper up for me and fixes my jacket’s hoodie to nestle around my neck.“T-Thank you…” I sweatdropped.I had managed to convince her that my leg
Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 86 - Geese
As I got back to the dorm, I ask the System for any other features I have not yet aware off. But it told me that the currently available ones were already known and explored by me already at the exception of the Map. So as I looked for the first person I’d like to meet, I also ‘explored’ the Map to get better sense of it. It’s like a GPS, like in games. It’s almost similar to the map in the Arrow’s feature, but it’s bigger, rotatable, and can appear whenever I want it to. ‘Is this only the Map of the academy?’ It only shows the academy and nothing outside of it. [It will show you the place you are currently in. If you are in a city or other landscape, it will show you the area around you at approximately 100 meters.] ‘Only 100 meters?’ [It depends on the distance your eyesight can see and your knowledge of the area.] ‘What if I don’t know the area?’ [If you do not know the area’s name, it will only show you the area as lines for you to navigate.] So, in conclusion, it’s like
Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 87 - Dancing with Lynette
The one who should be talking to her was Rean, controlled by the players. There would be some options for the players to encourage her to attend the banquet. But what I said about fate isn’t included in the options at all.It was just me experimenting with her code.In the game, it doesn’t matter which options the players chose, she would still be attending the banquet. However, their choice would affect the side quest’s success.If the players tell her that she doesn’t have to attend if she doesn’t want to, then the side quest will be void and there’s no chance of activating it again.While the reward doesn’t look like much, it is actually pretty useful sometime later in the game. And I was really looking forward to that. That’s why I’m now dancing with the cutest girl in the academy.A grunt escapes my throat involuntarily. Because she just stepped on my foot. Again.“A-Ah! Sorry!”“I-It’s fine. Haha.” I chuckle. “You have to relax, Lynette.”“I-I’m trying…!” She said tearfully.The
Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 88 - Monkey Eyes
Next day. In the academy. A 3rd year student enters the Mission Board with wide strides. His tail is swishing behind him, and his ears are twitching cutely, anticipating a good news in this fine morning. He stops in front of the administrator’s desk, his brown eyes that are bright and hopeful gaze at the old man administrator with mirth. “Hello, Mr. Administrator! I’d like to inquire for some missions today, please!” His clear voice and friendly tone are something one would not mind to hear first thing in the morning. But the one hearing it, and being the only one other than the bright kid himself here, is the Mission Board’s administrator. And the old man doesn’t look happy as he looks up at him. He blinks at the kid. At the other side of the counter, the bright student blinks his eyes back innocently. “?” The old man blinks back lazily. “…” “Sir?” the student tilts his head. “…” The man only looks at him. The student tilts his head the other way. He is just opening his mouth
Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 89 - Partying up
"Alright. Let's go to the dorm and get your weapon! Can I come into your room?" He asked innocently."No." I refused him immediately.He smiles nervously."Besides, I brought my own weapon.""Hm?"I reach to my behind and, obscured from his sight, will my new gun to appear. It appears right in my hand where it fits perfectly, as if it was made specifically to fit my hand.HG Orion is it's name in the Shop. It looks like a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm. It has a black polymer frame and a stainless steel slide.The barrel length is 3.1 inches, and it has a capacity of 7+1 rounds. It's slightly lower than the academy issued gun, but the power is higher. It also has a feature called "thumb safety" that prevents accidental discharge.I chose this handgun over a magnum for its reliability and compactness. It is easy to conceal, which makes it a great option for personal defense. Even though magnum is the most powerful one in the list, it's too loud and has longer reload time.I spent some t
Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 90 - Rowan Village (1)
To the southeast of Denebola is the mountain range that separates Northuria and Eolussia. It’s still a great distance away from Rowan Village, but it’s enough to give people uncommon to the area the chills.Ian blows warm air to his palm and tries to warm his face. “I forgot how cold it is here.”I look at him.He’s wearing a dark green sleeveless tee, a wide maroon scarf that covers his shoulder that now I think is only for fashion, a baggy brown pants that reaches slightly under his knees, a belt and holsters to put his knifes, and dark brown combat boots.From wherever I see it, he doesn’t look like prepared for someone who’s asking for a mission. “I thought you come here often?”He returns my gaze with a frown. “I never said that.”“You said ‘I have friends there! We will have a great time!’” I mimicked what he said at the academy’s entrance.He looks at me flatly, his mouth turning into solid triangle. “That doesn’t mean I come here often! And why are you not affected by the cold
Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 91 - Rowan Village (2)
There are 4 harvesters that we have to guard, just like in the game. But I have a feeling that it won’t be as hard as in the game.We have 4 people in our team after all, compared to just 2. So I’m sure this will be a breeze.Getting to the orchard was no trouble at all. But there were two monsters right after we enter the orchard.A Bearon, which like its name is a bear-like monster that has bigger ears and paws than ordinary bear; and a Pranta, which is like a cousin to the Pratta species from the tower incident but it has smoother vines and paler appearance.The Bearon ran away when it saw a bunch of humans in the area, while the Pranta, that was happily sucking the tree sap and oblivious to our presence, was easily tore down by Rean. The harvesters wasted no time and immediately started the harvest.There are more than 8 trees here. I didn’t care to count more than that because the area is SO HUGE. I couldn’t notice it in the game because it only shows us the rowan trees as backgr
Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 92 - Rowan Village (3)
I don’t remember how many waves are there. But I do remember there are only 4 kinds of monsters that appear in this event.There are also some rest times between waves, so I take some bullets from my pocket and pretend to refill my ORION.The normal bullets are unlimited, at least, for this certain event. But I need to pretend in front of others because there are no such thing as unlimited bullets.None of us needed healing, so we return to our own respective partners and continue working.The harvesters are fast in the third tree too, but they’re obviously sweating. Could they stand until sunset with so many trees remaining?“Chirp!”A bird’s chirp echoes from the other team’s direction.“Oh… Little birdie.” Lynette smiles when she saw a white bird perching on the rowan tree a few feet in front of her.“Piip.” The bird looks like a white canary that has red dots under both of its eyes. But its body size is slightly bigger.It’s looking curiously at Lynette for a while before turning

122 - Waiting for Backup
As we waited for backup to come, I split up with them and went to the chief’s house. But, I only found his frightened wife there who told me that he went to the restaurant. After I told her to stay put inside the house, I went to the restaurant.Sure enough, I found him there along with some scared and injured villagers.“Cadet!” The chief immediately came to me. “How’s the village’s condition? Do you know why is this happening?”“First things first, chief, is everyone here? I made sure nobody’s outside, but I haven’t really checked door to door. And your wife is by the house. I made sure she’s safe.” I told him.He nodded frivolously. “Ah yes, yes, thank you! Yes, everyone had gathered here after the monsters came. Your friend the blue haired guy protected me while I checked.”Huh. I didn’t think that guy would be quite nice to do that. But it’s part of being a cadet, so it’s not worth my compliment.I nodded at his report and went to check on the injured villagers. I knew I couldn’t
121 - Re-group (2)
“Blondie! Rufus, stop!”“No, Rufus! The village is still in chaos!”I could hear Guinevere and Pierce yelling from the side.Then I could hear clothes shuffling and Rufus said. “Let go of me! He needs to be taught a lesson!!”When I looked, Pierce was holding Rufus from behind. The four-eyed didn’t say anything, but it looked like he was trying his best to stop his leader from finishing me. His face was starting to get pinkish.I’m a bit surprised to see that Pierce got balls to stop that blue maniac. But I used this chance to get up.“I swear! I did not do it! I was looking for a Bearon like you told me to! I don’t know anything about the broken fences or monsters!” I said. I tried to make it believable.Rufus stopped resisting and glared his eyes at me. “Broken fences? So you knew the fences w
120 - Re-group (1)
Terrence and Guinevere returned to the village via the same way the monsters the entered the village. The village’s condition wasn’t that much of a difference. It was still in chaos. Although there were more upturned wagons and broken fences, along with monster carcasses.Both cadets grimaced when they saw the situation. Then the plum haired one nodded. “Yeah. Nu-uh. You obviously can’t trigger those monsters. But Rufus obviously wouldn’t listen. He BELIEVED you did it. So, you’re still in trouble.”“Dang it!” Terrence sighed heavily, pretending to be very bothered by it. “Couldn’t this day get any better?”Then they heard a scream from our right. It was high pitched and it was asking for help.“Help!! Uwaa!”A little girl emerged from the corner of a house, looking all bruised and bleeding. Behind her, a Cassory was following her closely while pecking on her dirty blue dress from behind.With her clothes being pulled, the girl lost her balance fell to the ground with a yell. The Cass
119 - Plum found Blondie
Guinevere followed the sound of gunshots and roars that led her deeper into the Southeast Forest. Her heart was beating fast with anxiety. Between getting lost and ambushed, she was also anxious that they would be punished for the chaos in the village.They were the ones who told Blondie to hunt a Bearon after all. And Guinevere had a thought that he must have aggravated the monsters in the forest somehow. She didn’t know if that’s true, but that what most likely to happen. And if it was, then it was their fault.'Is he dead?' Guinevere pouted in distress. Because if he was, it was also their fault.She started to think that testing the Blondie with Bearon hunt ‘alone’ was a bad idea. 'What if he's badly injured and he reports us to the teachers? But he's a nobody. So no one would listen to him, right? But he looks like he's close with Rean... And Rean is a star student, teachers praised him&helli
118 - Sweet Chaos
“How can monsters enter the village?!” The villagers panicked. Rufus’s group tensed. Everybody knew that monsters couldn’t get into villages because there are wards installed. The only chances they could enter are only if those wards were destroyed. Which is obviously what happened here. “The wards… They’re broken…” Pierce mumbled in disbelief. The cadets immediately left the restaurant to look at the situation. When they reached outside, Prantas and Cassories were running around, chasing the villagers and making a mess in the village. “Waaarrkk!!” The Cassories screeched as they were making chaos. “Aaahh! Help!” “Monsters!” The villagers screamed. Some of them were running into their homes, some were hiding behind a cart, or even defending themselves with whatever they could. They were trying their best not to get hurt. “Ah! Duck!” Guinevere dragged Pierce down in time as a Cassory jumped at them. “Wark—ARK!” The freakish bird was immediately slashed by Rufus and fell to t
117 - Mischief
In the end, that SE stood for South East because we ended up going to the forestry near Rowan village.I didn’t take them to be people who like cold temperature, but I think they picked this area because the monsters are less wild than the southwest.Southeast region has Bearons, bear like beast monsters, that while don’t move as fast as Direwolves in the southwest, are essentially more powerful. Added with a couple of Prantas, vine-like plant monsters that crawl on the ground and could grab someone by their feet, this area is a perfect place for training.“The target today is killing a Bearon. Then we’ll bring its head to the local hunting lodge. It’ll fetch some money for dinner.” Rufus said.I’ve always wondered how did the game reward the characters’ team money while all they do is just killing. But here, I found out that monster corpses could be exchanged for money through instances such as Hunting Lodge in the forest.But luckily for me, I didn’t have to do that because the Syst
116 - Hurdle
After delivering the food, the number 7 instantly filled the quota which means there were 13 people left for me to help.There were only 5 days left before the big day, and I need to plan my strategies fast. Not to mention the teamwork I have to increase with those jerks. If I couldn’t open the map within tomorrow, I wouldn’t be able to prepare efficiently.Then I thought of Ian. He was so determined to help people and raise the society’s view of the academy. Maybe I could ask him for help.I opened the map of Orion Terrace to find the guy, but I saw his name right on my dot.“Huh?” I frowned.Then I felt a poke on my shoulder and appeared in front of me was the guy I was looking for.“Hey! You took my job!” He crossed his hands on his chest and looked a bit upset.“Sorry. I just kinda had the epiphany to help people.” I said, pretending to be nervous.“Just kinda…?” He frowned. “No one ‘just kinda’ had an epiphany to ‘help’ people.” He said.I shrugged and pointed to myself. “I did.
115 - First Locked Map
After that short briefing, we were dismissed. Rufus and the others went on their own way while I left to plan my own strategy.‘Ozzie. Did you catch when the event is going to happen? And can I have a map of the venue?’ I asked the System as soon as I got off the elevator.[It will happen at the end of this week. Map will be available for free when you are at the place. But you can buy it at the Shop if you are desperate.]That means I have less than a week to raise my level to at least 16, and work together with… I gulp. Rufus’s team.I never liked them back when I was still a player or now. Rufus is such a… Character. He’s a real bully and bad, and… I don’t like him. Period.Pierce is the only one tolerable. He is the one who has more sense between the three of them. But I still can’t trust him because he still has a dark side that he hasn’t shown yet.While Guinevere... Well… She’s Princess Annoying. F minus. Bleh.I whisked them away from my mind for now and opened the System’s sh
114 - Failed?!
*** Mission failed! You’ve failed the mission “Get in Rean’s Team”! You may not claim the rewards! + Mission changed! Finish the mission and… *** I couldn’t bring myself to continue reading the notification as the only thing on my mind is ‘FAILED?! WHAT THE FUCK?!’ After talking to the girls, also Natalie (again), because I passed out at the banquet and I remembered I had to apologize. But thankfully, she didn’t mind at all. Although she did hear that I went to the training center, and she wanted me to spill about it. I didn’t, of course. She didn’t like it, of course. But I don’t care and she didn’t press further. Then I had a talk with Rean and Ian. Their reactions were mostly the same as the girls. Overall, they had good impression on me. So then what the hell is this? “What is wrong with him?” Guinevere asked, looking at me nervously and slight disgust. “Probably intercepting his escaping brain cells.” Rufus replied uninterestedly. The comment made the plum haired girl
